Backing up only what you need
Ask a storage manager which files they back up and you get a variety of answers, but there are definitely some file types you should avoid backing up.
This Article Covers
Data reduction
Ask a storage manager which files they back up and you get a variety of answers -- everything from those who save the .MP3s on their networks to those who don't want to be burdened with laptop and desktop files.
Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.

Take Mike Maday, for example. Maday is the senior LAN manager for Orthopaedics & Rehab Services at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. "Unlike most places, we back up MP3 files and videos since doctors often give presentations with embedded multimedia," says Maday. "While these file types are often skipped in other places, here they are an integral part of day-to-day file serving."
Maday, who administers a combined Windows and Macintosh environment, is further taxed with the Desktop Services Store (DS_Store) files the Mac OS X operating system creates on file shares. Because DS_Store hidden files are created in every folder that is accessed, "these files are always littering the file system, so they are always skipped," says Maday.
"Why have a zillion tape archive copies of write.exe?" asks Maday. "The only things we need are the registry keys exported for server restoration. The OS is expendable and easily recreated in such situations."
Maday is not unlike other network managers out there, who recommend that user data generated on desktop PCs and laptops be stored on file servers where it will be backed up.
"In terms of backup, we generally don't do desktop and laptop backups," says Michael Passe, storage architect at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. For Passe, backing up desktops and laptops would be a complex operation -- his organization has more than 16,000 employees and 6,000 desktops.
"It also gets to be a bit of a political wicket if we backed up one desktop and not the next and someone were to lose data," says Passe. "All our home directory and departmental shared data is stored centrally on our file servers and those are backed up every data with a set retention for daily tapes and a set retention for weekly tapes.
Like others responsible for managing desktop and laptop environments, Passe has adopted re-imaging of individual desktops when a failure occurs. "We simply re-image or deploy new desktops should one of them fail," says Passe. "We expect the users to put their appropriate data on the file servers if they want it backed up."
Another user, Jim Klein, director of information Services & Technology for the Saugus Union School District in Santa Clarita, Calif., is also an advocate of desktop re-imaging.
"For desktops and laptops, we tend to purchase identical system models with long refresh cycles in quantity, so we can apply a similar methodology (default images with base software sets," says Klein. "We train our people to store their files and content on the server, so they lose nothing if they have a failure. We also provide them with the necessary software to re-image their machines themselves, should they encounter problems with them."
In backing up servers, Passe, Maday and Klein set up their backup software to "exclude" system files or files such as database directories and page files they can't back up using open file agents. Specifically, those would be directories such as WINS, SQL Server Logs and Data and Active Directory.
"Since our servers are all virtualized and can be recovered quickly via general operating system images, we back up none of the operating system files," says Klein.
"Other than the database directories and page files, we backup everything -- our servers have a way of changing without notice since there are different server management and backup management teams, and communication isn't always made about those changes," says Passe. "That said, it is easier, and with less culpability for the backup team to simply backup everything on a given server than to try to exclude stuff, and then find out we weren't backing up something someone needed, or something that was added."

Olympic champion Jade Jones is driven by the desire to repeat her gold medal glory in Rio in 2016 and secure legendary status within her sport.
Jones, 19, admits she struggled to find the motivation to return to training since becoming Great Britain's first Olympic taekwondo champion with a win over Hou Yuzhou at the ExCel.
But ahead of her return to action in the Trelleborg Open in Sweden next week, Jones said another gold in Brazil could even eclipse her achievement in London last summer.
Jones said: "I might have got one gold but I want to get two and become a legend. I'm only 19 still love the sport and I've never thought about doing anything else. I reckon it will be even harder in Rio as people didn't expect anything of me in London."

You know of what you speak. I should have mentioned that all your available torque is on tap at 0 rpm. Once the motoring public experiences the linear and robust power delivery of an electric motor without the need of multiple gears, they won't go back to ICE. I have both, still enjoy hot rodding with ICE propulsion, i.e., my Track-T stick, and my 556 hp CTS-V stick, but after driving a Tesla, and owning a Smart Car Electric, I know from my own driving, that being a 40 year long gearhead I'll always have an internal combustion engine ride, but if I wasn't a gearhead, and just an average driver, once I owned an electric I would never go back to ICE. That is how the general population is going to respond, I do believe.
I viewed your video, man, slot cars are sure going faster than they did when I was racing them back in the early to mid 60's. Doesn't your neck get sore trying to follow your slot car?

So what we really need is a slot in the road. Use the gas motor to get up to the road then lower the "wicks" and start sucking up the juice. No battery neded at all. If you had a 500# electric motor I'm sure you would be more than happy with the performance.!!! Wire size and controller would be the limiters.
If using AC, why not bury the high voltage transmission lines under the
Interstates, and you could inductively pull the power you need for travel between cities, much like how a transformer works with no electrical connection between the primary and secondary side of the transformer. Of course, billing via transponder sending usage information to the power company.
I could not figure why you had squelched the Methanol thread, since the information would have helped a lot of guys here that did not know.
Now I got it all figured out, no problem as long as we know the rules and I have you figured out.
Hey, maybe you could talk Jon into changing the forum name to "tree huger rods", "Obama's rods" or "Save the trees are us"
Have a great day.
A save the trees name would not work. Trees, like most plants need carbon dioxide to live, and grow. Electric cars emit very little CO2 in their operation. But an electric car may help the trees where the fuel fired electric generating plant is located.
Now .... let's see. To support those electric cars we need an electric infrastructure. To the best of my knowledge, and that's getting dated now that I am no longer in the business, the United States is old and starting to break down at a prodigious rate, with California leading the way with their outlandish tree hugger laws, so much so that they import (wheel) a significant portion of their needs from states like Nevada and Arizona which are a bit more real life based. This means that electricity will be a very expensive commodity in the not too distant future. Now if everyone (passenger vehicles, at least) were to convert and since a car needs a daily charge if used, that's going to place a burden on generation and transmittal service that cannot be sustained. Yeah, the huggers say build more power plants - well, a nuke takes over 10 years to design, site, license and build. Usually longer. A fossil plant - that can be as long. Hydro - same kind of time. Wind mills and solar farms - think NIMBY.
Then while we are on the subject, consider the costs of manufacture - not just that whizzy car, but building that new or replacement power plant, mining out and processing that raw stock plus eventually the manufacturing process.
Most folks don't have a clue about what goes into a power plant, but they are big - actually huge, with generators from, say 25 mega watt (millions of watts) up to 1000 and a few bigger. Then there is that steam generator - a boiler. You want big - work inside a few. Something has to make heat to make steam - either a fossil fuel or a nuclear reaction. Believe it or not, fossil plants are quite efficient, with nukes needing to be a fair bit larger to produce the same amount of power, but are more efficient as far as fuel use and emissions, that is until you have to dispose of the spent fuel. Now, those wind farms - each of those windmills - the biggest will only produce about 6 MW, with most in the 2-3MW range. Compare that to a gas turbine, my specialty - with a 10 MW unit able to fit in many suburban back yards - and that includes all of the peripherals. That windmill - not very efficient for the landscape it covers. Solar - talk about inefficient/size. I have two solar panels on my travel trailer. Each is approximately 2x4 feet and 3-4 inches thick. Total output is 160 watts. That's on a bright sunny day and about enough to keep the two group 27 deep cycle batteries charged. The $2.5 billion Ivanpah solar farm in Ca. is 3500 acres, and only 392 mega watts - really a dumb way to make power!!! A gas fired fossil plant, same size or even larger will fit on 4-5 acres, cost $75-$100 million.
Then of course, for every 100MW produced, only about 30-35% actually reaches you, the consumer as the rest is lost from the generator terminals to the final destination, you the consumer.
Then - to replace that aging power plant - money, lots of it is needed. That's the rates you pay and/or taxes levied.
Now - tell me - why is an electric car better.
Sorry to pick on California, but they just lead the USA way in economic contradictions

My only 'fear' is that the greenies get carried away and they do away w/personal transportation. Me no like the idea of being elbow to
a-hole w/a bunch of strangers w/someone else sitting behind the wheel. Likely I'll be long gone before that will happen, though.
OT- I'm reminded that the current(?) world record ET for the scale ¼ mile (55) is like .410 or .411 @ about 136 MPH. It was run at 2 different places, Bullitt in Kentucky and Flashbacks in Georgia.
The Gp 7 cobalt magnet "open" motors use an arm with (relatively speaking) few turns of large diameter wire. A "64" arm is 16 turns of 24 gauge wire, for example. This is considered a hot arm, but there are hotter, especially for drag racing.
Because of the amperage these motors pull at part 'throttle', I used an "external resistor" hand controller. I built mine from a Parma Turbo controller by adding a 1Ω or 2Ω external resistor (depending on track, arm windings, etc.) to dissapate the heat generated. The stock resistors would burn out almost immediately if used w/an open (Gp 7) motor.
My controller is considered "old school" (was state of the art back in the early 90's). I don't mind, though- all the more effecient "electronic" controller means at part throttle is you have to back off a tick more on the trigger finger (most will remember the old Cox "thumb-type" controllers, below). At WOT all the power is passed through large gauge mega-multi strand wire that completely bypasses the resistor. Of course there are other reasons an electronic controller is preferred over a external resistor controller- but w/the cost of an electronic controller running $300-$600/each I'm in no hurry to switch.
My point in this (as I'm sure everyone already knows) is to say that if one were to try to control the power analog-style for an automobile, the size/weight would surely be prohibitive. Not to mention unnessarily inefficient compared to other control schemes. But to be able to matt the 'gas' on an electric motored car after tweaking the motor, voltage, etc. and modifying the "soft start" feature they'll likely use, will be an eye opener for sure!
Cox Controller, Candies Silicone Tires (circa mid-'60's) Left; External Resistor Controller, Middle; Stock Parma 2.5" Long Resistor, Right
No worries- no more slot stuff, I promise!

Just saw this on Yahoo.
And back to where does the electricity come from? There is an interstate DC power line from California to Oregon, that can send most of the output of the Dalles Dam, on the Columbia river south.
But even in the Pacific Northwest, with ample generation from hydroelectric dams, most of the time we do burn coal, and natural gas to make electricity.
Solar only works when the sun shines. Wind only when the wind blows. Electricity has to be generated at the time of use, it cannot be stored in any large scale, for the most part. They do "store" electricity at Grand Coulée Dam, by using excess generating capacity at night to pump water back up on the plateau above Lake Roosevelt, but that only yields about 60% of the electricity used to pump the water up on the hill in the first place.
Also keep in mind, there are more and more restrictions being put on Hydroelectric dam operation, because of endangered species regulations.

Well actually, I went to an F250 because I wanted the diesel for gas mileage, new power stroke gets around 20 mpg, the other issue was finding one with the Navigation and rear back-up camera, seems about one out of every 30 has this set up.
I need the camera, so I don't back over a smart car, I don't mind backing over one as I'm well insured but what scared me, is not knowing I ran over one and then being arrested for hit and run.
The only hauling this truck will do is the kids or employees using the truck, so figured a 250 was overkill and wife says I'm tighter then fish ***** anyways.

My 99 Dodge 3500 dually gets 19+ all the time except on winter fuel. Plus no payments for over 5 years. $4.29/gal yesterday....ouch
Yep should have got the 3500 dually.....even if it's a Ford. haha
A story about F350's - and this is my 3rd one. I was backing into a parking space with my '79 long bed super cab. A young lady was trying for the same spot but coming in behind me. My painted bumper - had one minor scratch. Her itty bitty Honda Civic - front end total and needed a wrecker. I never knew that car was there until I heard glass breaking. My truck ended up about a foot from her windshield. Amazing how much damage a big bumper and a Class 4 trailer hitch can do!!

I just love it when you talk trash.
Show me a currently produced battery system that actually lasts 900000 miles and I'll eat it, then sh1? out recycled batteries for your smart.
I recon' the reason you fine folks down in Californica have been trying to force your had to steal Oregons Hydro power for so long is so you can recharge your electric cars that are "saving the planet" eh?? silence a few million tree huggers and build your own power plants.
Recycle? you seem to have forgotten who started the bottle bill and other programs. it sure wasn't California.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for having a variety of power sources to fuel the planets needs, but those who think electricity is "free clean power" haven't really thought it out past there noses IMHO.
Didn't mean to talk trash, because you admit to loving it so much I certainly don't want to get you excited to the point you are saluting the forum. My math was off on the miles you can get out of the new Tesla Model S batteries, as the batteries if cycled down to 50% DOD will give 3000 cycles before losing 20% of capacity. So that is only 450,000 miles. Guess you won't have to eat those batteries.
Why do you think President Obama is pushing the "Smart Grid" so hard? Because the current grid is in fact dumb as dirt. When you have to size your infrastructure to meet peak demands, that is a huge waste during the other 23 hours of a day. If you look at our electrical consumption over a 24 hour cycle, it looks like a sine wave. Here is what is planned here in the States and most other countries.....
You charge your car off peak, and you sell some of your batteries stored energy at peak times. Lets say you live off the grid and you figure the largest single time frame of energy usage is 6:00 PM and you use 25 kw. At 3:00 AM you use 0.5 kw, needless to say if you have an electric car, this is the time you would be charging. Now lets assume you don't want to spend the coin for a 25 kw generator and instead buy a 15 kw generator. Well now at 6:00 PM you would find yourself short of power except you still have 15 kw/hr in your car's batteries, so you just use some of that to get you through your own peak usage time frame. This concept scales up easy for the grid and all of its users. The grid is built to handle peak loads, and off peak is over sized. Stored energy can assist during peak and be replaced during off peak. That is why the 2nd generation chargers/controllers for electric vehicles includes two way grid to user interface. So, this isn't my bright idea, it just simply is how it is going to be done. The power companies will constantly vary the price per kilowatt/hour, and you the end user will program with your computer at what price breaks you want the dishwasher to kick on, the batteries in your car to charge, etc. During peak times you will also program at what rate you are willing to sell your stored energy in the car back to the power company. This is a win-win situation, whereas the power companies are getting a larger return on investment and you the end user are paying less for your electrical energy needs. All this due to the Smart Grid and the elimination of all the peaks and valleys of our current energy consumption scenario. Sit back and enjoy the show, because this is how it is going to pan out.

Left to right: Leslie Jack Hyams, Mary Elizabeth Smith Ackermann Hyams, Dorothy Ann Meyerhofer Smith Ackermann, Louise Meyerhofer Haskell, Edward Lee Ackermann (holding up Honey the dog)
Remember Edward Ackermann, the guy I found in the Los Angeles County Coroner's Unclaimed Persons Database?
Here's his story:
Edward Lee Ackermann was born in 1926 in Richmond, Virginia. He was adopted by Fred Ackermann and his second wife, Dorothy Ann Meyerhofer. Dorothy already had an adopted daughter, Mary Elizabeth, from her previous marriage.
When he was 16, Ed applied for a Social Security card so that he could work at the Sears and Roebuck store on Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles. When he was 18, he joined the Army, and he served for three years. I don't know yet what he did for a living when he got out of the Army, but I know he'd been a security guard for two years prior to his death at age 68. He never married, and lived with his mother for many years (in fact, the house he died in in 1994 on Glenville Drive in Los Angeles is the same one listed as his mother's residence when she died in 1967).
Ed died of natural causes, and was found by the wife of his roommate/friend, Robert Walton. Ed had written a letter for Robert years before saying that he was adopted, his parents were dead and he had no other family, and that he was a veteran. Robert turned the letter over to the police when they came to investigate Ed's death, and that's how Ed came to be buried at Riverside National Cemetery.
As it turns out, Ed did have family when he died. His parents had divorced sometime before they both died in the 1960s, and Ed's sister Mary Elizabeth died in 1982. Ed and his sister's family had been estranged for years, and they had no idea that he had passed away. In looking for clues about him, I found them. They gave me the picture above, and some details about his life. It's funny how Ed's alone-ness at the end of his life ended up bringing together some branches from his family tree years later.
I'm both relieved and a little sad that Ed's story turned out to be so ordinary. I had pictured some dramatic end…homelessness, or a crime scene, or some other scenario that probably comes from having watched too much Law and Order. In truth, his story didn't have any "ripped from the headlines" twist. It could be the story of any of us. I find that a little unsettling.
But I'm glad I "met" him.

DENVER - In the first game of a three game western U.S. road trip, the Marist women's lacrosse team earned a 13-12 win over Saint Mary's (Cal.) in a neutral field matchup at Denver University. The Red Foxes overcame an early 4-0 deficit with a 6-1 run in the second half to secure the win. Senior Ariel Kramer (Syracuse, N.Y.) led the team with four points on three goals and an assist.
The Gaels (1-5) jumped out to an early 4-0 lead over the Red Foxes (1-5) in the first 8:05 of play. Following a caused turnover by freshman Sheri Fauvell (Moorestown, N.J.), senior Kelsey Heckler (Bel Aid, Md.) led the outlet and clearance that resulted in the team's first goal of the game at 19:50, courtesy of freshman Emily Leonard (Brookfield, Conn.). Seniors Shannon Haas (Farmingdale, N.Y.) and Kramer then connected for the Red Foxes' second straight goal a little over two minutes later at 16:24. This was Haas' sixth goal of 2012.
After a Gael tally at 10:04 pushed the lead back to three goals at 5-2, the Red Foxes netted back-to-back scores in a matter of 20 seconds to cut the deficit to one. Sophomore Jamie Romano (Kings Park, N.Y.) scored the first goal at 8:20 and then put the ensuing scoring possession in motion with a successful draw control and outlet to sophomore Tierney Larson (Fairfield, Conn.), who fed freshman Kirsten Viscount (Smithtown, N.Y.) for the first goal of her young career.
The fast-paced scoring continued down the stretch in the first half as the teams combined for six more goals in the final 6:40 of play. Saint Mary's went into the locker room up 9-6 on the strength of four goals in that stretch. Red Fox tallies were scored by Leonard at 5:13 and Larson at 0:17.
Coming out after the break, strong defensive efforts resulted in Marist notching two goals in the first six minutes of play. The first goal came after a blocked shot Saint Mary's shot and a ground ball pickup and sprint out of the defensive zone by Fauvell, who cleared the ball and then fired in her first goal of her career on her first-ever shot at 28:26. Goal number two came after a caused turnover by freshman Christine Astarita (Kennett Square, Pa.); Kramer was the goal scorer for Marist 26 seconds after the change of possession at 24:08.
Saint Mary's Rachel Minarovich scored her team-leading third goal of the game at 23:49 to interrupt the small goal run by Marist.
Strong defense, including five saves by junior goalkeeper Ashley Casiano (South Windsor, Conn.) kept Saint Mary's off the scoreboard for the next 18:06 and allowed the Red Foxes to score four unanswered goals and take their first lead of the game. Goal scorers for Marist over this span of play included Romano, Viscount, Haas and Kramer, who capped the scoring at 7:35.
Up 12-10, the team's traded goals in the final six minutes, as Saint Mary's brought the score to 12-11 at 5:43 before Kramer netted her third goal of the game at 3:43. This tally would stand up as the game-winner as the Gaels scored their 12th and final goal of game with one second remaining.
After 60 minutes, Marist was victorious by a score of 13-12.
As a team, the Red Foxes caused more turnovers at 12-11 and were more successful in their clears at 16-18 to 14-21 for Saint Mary's. The Gaels outshot Marist at 32-28, collected more ground balls at 17-15 and controlled more draws at 13-12.
Individually, Kramer led all scorers with four points on three goals and an assist. Senior Kelly Condon (Roslyn, Pa.) led the Red Foxes with a pair of assists. In goal, Casiano turned aside 13 Gael scoring attempts. On defense, Astarita caused a game-high four turnovers and collected three ground balls.
The Red Foxes will again be in action at Denver University on Tuesday, March 13 when they take on the host Pioneers in a 9 p.m. EST matchup.

replacing wet wood under linoleum in front of shower stall
House was built in 1965. Floor in front of shower pan. I am removing wet plywood under thin linoleum that attaches to thick floor joist. Shower door swings open to the left so the original inside gutter attached to the bottom of shower door has some of the runoff water coming out and over the floor. I have pulled some of the thin plywood or shredded wet plywood up and notice some of the thick floor joist are wet on the top and shredding so I dont have a flat surface to nail replacement plywood too. I know how to chip away and get to the dry part of the floor joist I just need some hints on what to do after that. Do I just try to shim it up and get it level so I can attach new plywood to it? The replacement piece of plywood is going to be about a 20 by 20 " measurement so there will be strength in that piece of wood because 80% of it will be attached to the flat dry joist from the middle of the bathroom floor going back towards shower pan. I just cant afford to have any flexing close to the shower pan or I am right back to where I started.I have between 15 to 20 " of wet plywood going from the very left corner of shower pan to the right away from the shower pan about 3". You know probably right under the hinges that hold the shower door together to the wall/tile. With the door open water is dripping on the floor.And there is obviously no way I am replacing joists. Any thoughts? Thanks
Pictures would help.
But if I am reading your post correctly, it sounds like you need to remove the subfloor and expose your floor joists so that you can repair them. Then once you remove the rotted portion of the floor joist, you need to replace the subfloor and then continue on from there. Are you simply looking for a solution in regards to getting your subfloor level when you put it back down on the floor joists?
If so, talk with your building department and find out if it is acceptable to add blocks or gussets on the sides of the floor joist that you are repairing, and then shimming the damaged one. Then gluing and screwing the new subfloor on top of that.
Once again, thats just a guess based on what I read. Like I said, pictures would help.
I apologize for no pictures. I tried in the past and gave up on another project because veryone suggestion didnt work. I have the subfloor off at this time.I just measured the problem areas of the joist. The joist are 5" wide butting up next to each other. My problem area is 3 of the joist or a little less than 12" total wide. And about 3" from the shower pan. So 12" by 3" is the amount of area. I can take a screwdriver and shred the moist wood away from the top of the 5" wide joist. So I basically have a small void on top. The problem area is about 1/4" on the top. Can I just apply something to the top of the wood that will adhere to the wood to level it out. Maybe a paste or something like that? Maybe get as much wet wood away and let a fan run on top of the wood for a couple of days until it is dry and then add a paste or something to fill in the void.Once it dries I can place a new piece of plywood and screw it in,put new flooring down and move on. It isn't a place in the bathroom that I would ever walk on once it is put back together. Even when I step out of the shower I come out on the other half of the same opening because of the way the shower door swings.
If you are in agreement maybe you can suggest a product or what will work. Thanks
The first thing to do is to repair the water leak, you haven't even talked about that.
Remove the damaged subfloor. Install additional blocking sistered to the existing floor joists and at the proper elevation. Don't screw with the floor joists beyond sistering. Fit a new piece of subfloor material and your done.
No need to call anybody in city government, they don't care. Don't get yourself into a position where you have blown the whistle on yourself and they will require you to buy some kind of a stupid permit.
This is an easy fix.
Now...why is the shower door leaking?
replacing wet wood.
There is no water leak. I am replacing Vinyl flooring and was preparing floor and noticed soft wood by shower pan. The original shower door 1965 has a piece of rubber on the very bottom like a windshield wiper and I think over time small amounts of water have leaked past the rubber or leaked out of each end of the rubber because it is not a perfect fit. I had no problem cutting out the plywood but the tops of the joist are all irregular because I am basically shredding away the wet portions and as you can picture I don't have a level surface. I understand what you are saying . It will take a little time to fit a piece of wood across the 3 damaged joist and keep them level so the new plywood fits correctly. The tops of the joist are the only damaged areas. For years I have been throwing a towel on the floor when I would shower. I think most of this damage happened to the original owners.
Kiss-on (sister) a block to each damaged floor joist. Use a straightedge across the tops of all the floor joists to position the blocks before you fasten them.
Use blocks that are as long as you can get to fit in there.
1.) I think this is what is causing the water to run on the floor. The very bottom of the shower door that seals the top edge of the shower pan when the door is shut has about 1/2" of rubber missing at the corner where the problem is. It's like a small rectangular opening.It doesn't appear to have torn. It might have been like this from 1965 when it was first put in. When I bought the house in 1986 there was new a vinyl floor put down. If there was any wet damage I doubt if anyone fixed it.
2.) I could not sister a piece of wood level across the 3 (5"wide) joist without first chipping out some of the tops of the damaged joists. I only needed to chip out 12" because the other 3" of one of the joist is not needed to hold flooring. It disappears under the wall. Once I had them chipped deep enough to fit one 12" by 3" length of plywood I screwed it in. But this is not an exact science so when I tightened the screws it draws that piece of wood down as it tightens. So that dropped it about another 1/8". So when I lay that final piece of plywood down 21" by 17" most of it will be laying on dry unaffected joist and attach firmly. The 12" by 3" I screwed in is going to have about an 1/8" gap between the piece I screwed in and the top layer of plywood thereby creating an 1/8" flex when any pressure is applied to it like when somone steps out of the shower.
3.) I was thinking there must be something at Home Depot that is the consistency of peanut butter that I could just trowel on or use a putty knife to build it up and set the whole piece of plywood on there and whatever material I use will self level with some slight pressure. I will screw the plywood into the unaffected joists and let my piece dry hard on its own and come back later and run some screws thru it there by solving the problem. If I have to use some weight to bear down on my piece just to keep it level while its drying I can do that.

Rae G.wrote a review of DAKINE Split 65L Rolling Gear Bag - Women's - 4000cu in on November 29, 2012
Fantastic Bag
Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got this for a multi-country trip. Was hesitant buying it sight unseen - except for web photos. No worries here! This bag is awesome and the split pocket inside actually keeps all your clothes from moving around and keeps them wrinkle free just like using dresser drawers for your clothes.
Top a great bag off with the best customer service and really good discounts and you have a WINNER here. I love Dakine products - they hold up well (nary a scratch after being in 7 airports and on a train abroad). My other hard sided cases broke wheels off & split the zipper where sewed to bag on both their maiden voyages. But not my Dakine Small Split Roller or my Dakine Kylie Duffle that I carried on the flights. Both bags carry a lot of stuff!
Yeah for Backcountry and for Dakine!

Garth Brooks Wins Big In Lawsuit
Garth Brooks wins big but it's not for his music – it was in court. Garth won a lawsuit against Lisa Sanderson, the former CEO of his company Red Strokes Entertainment which is no longer in existence after shutting down in 2010.
Brooks legal dispute with Sanderson focused on $226,000 Garth gave her to pay her legal fees to help gain custody of her son. Sanderson claimed it was a gift, but Brooks said it was a loan. Garth said they had discussed re-paying the money on a payment plan several times.
A federal judge in Nashville ordered Lisa Sanderson to repay the loan to Garth Brooks along with legal fees, six years of interest and collection costs.

Andru Ziwasimon-Zeller Cares and Advocates for Uninsured

- 8. Shira Shavit Honored for Creating a 'Medical Home' for Former Prison Inmates
- 9. Kris Volcheck Honored for Creating Free Dental Clinic for the Homeless
- 10. Andru Ziwasimon-Zeller Cares and Advocates for Uninsured
As a family physician working at an Albuquerque, N.M., hospital, Andru Ziwasimon-Zeller, M.D., was shocked to learn that the hospital was requiring uninsured and low-income patients to pay up front for medically necessary care. When he decided to take up the cause of these patients, he found himself out of a job.
So he turned his attention to creating a better health care system.
As co-founder of the Community Coalition for Health Care Access, Ziwasimon-Zeller became a tireless advocate for "common sense" health policies for disenfranchised patients. "I assisted in a lawsuit and helped to organize a community protest to remove the bad payment policies," Ziwasimon-Zeller said. He also worked with community residents to open Casa de Salud ("House of Health"), a clinic for low-income and uninsured patients. Today, the unfair payment policies that Ziwasimon-Zeller opposed are gone, and he is tackling broader issues.
In recognition of Ziwasimon-Zeller's efforts, he was named one of 10 recipients of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Community Health Leaders Award. The award honors exceptional men and women who have overcome significant obstacles to tackle some of the most challenging health and health care problems facing their communities.
Community Health Leaders National Program Director Janice Ford Griffin said the selection committee honored Ziwasimon-Zeller for "his peer leadership with community residents to address a range of unfair policies and practices that have an impact on public health, and for his collaborative participation in establishing a community clinic that respects the cultural context and character of that community."
Ziwasimon-Zeller's commitment to creating what he calls a "better and fairer health system" started during medical school, when he worked in a clinic in West Africa. The only practitioner in the region was a physician's assistant, whom Ziwasimon-Zeller described as "the most amazing clinician" who diagnosed his patients with limited resources.
Now Ziwasimon-Zeller puts that skill to work at Casa de Salud, where patients are never denied services based on their ability to pay the $30 cost of an office visit. "We serve some of the poorest people in Albuquerque and what amazes me is how committed they are to paying for our services. They really appreciate the fact that we are their partner in health," Ziwasimon-Zeller said.
A central mission of Casa de Salud is advocating for public policies to improve access to care. "We are able to use the clinic as a platform for community organizing. We will not hesitate to advise patients to speak up when injustices happen," Ziwasimon-Zeller said. His advocacy efforts range from working to protect the jobs of medical workers who advocate on behalf of their patients to changing how the state provides care to drug-addicted youth. "We must work to treat young people earlier in their addiction and prevent them from carrying the stigma of arrest and drug abuse for the rest of their lives," he said.
Ziwasimon-Zeller has a dream of "doing medicine better." He credits his wife, a natural medicine practitioner, with teaching him a "patient-centered approach to health care," and the clinicians, staff and organizers who work with him for helping make this dream come true. "Without our clinicians, students and supporters, we wouldn't have a clinic. I couldn't do any of this without them," Ziwasimon-Zeller said.

Well it does take some time and/or revving before the transmission shifts. What's strange is that there have been times
(during the past few weeks since the truck began exhibiting this problem)
where I've spent time letting the truck idle for quite some time while revving it up to 4000 rpm here and there. I would then take it for a spin and everything would work fine. But other times, like in the most recent videos, it doesn't want to run well no matter what I do.
The first time the truck began running fine
first displaying these problems, it was after I checked and cleaned all the plugs, tested out the ICM, and installed a new ignition coil. See post
# 9
of this thread for more details.
After that, two days later, the truck exhibited the same symptoms, but they went away after revving the engine to 4,000 rpm a few times. The same thing again happened the following day. See post
#15 and #17
of this thread for details.
After that, the truck has not run well in Drive no matter what. Now the added mystery is why there is the
ever so slight
hesitation at the 2,500 rpm mark when revving the engine in Park and Neutral.
Hey Chet,

I do not want to sound as if I am disagreeing, but I am wondering if that would have been a problem before too. Because the truck has been running just fine in the past, save the
dirty fuel / carburetor rebuild issue
last year.

Ah those intake gaskets. Did 'em twice last year. You can see which ones on

. Since both you and sbchevfreak have brought up the manifold gasket issue, maybe its time to do it a third time. The timing can be tackled from the beginning too, like I should have done.

I can disconnect the choke and fire it up next time, and also open up the choke plate by tying it down.

I will be trying this, along with disconnecting the choke on the next try.

I've seen various numbers on the what the timing should be set at, ranging between 12 BTDC to 6 BTDC. I read somewhere that 10 BTDC was a safe number to start with. I'll start with 8 next time. It seems like the manifold may be getting yanked again.

Ok, so the one where the vacuum advance was previously connected to.

I've got another core I can rebuild, though I hope it doesn't come down to that.

I am on day 3 and Down 5lbs! I am hungry but it's getting better! I'm happy with it and it's teaching me to eat healthy and subing things. The only complaint is that the web site is HORRABLE! Hard to understand and move around very slow etc, but we have a Facebook that's a closed group (so u can put ur weight on there) and its more "family like". Good luck to all
OMG..just started program yesterday and I've already lost 2lbs - and i cheated (had a few pieces of chocolate); there are 4 of us in our household who began at the same time (we had a meeting and signed the contracts together); we've all lost weight! My mom has lost 5lbs, my daughter lost 3lbs and my sister 8lbs!! Food is good; keeps u full; I have a hard time eating everything but the choices are great; from here on out I'm gonna look at my before pictures (uughh! How did I let this happen?!) whenever I feel the need to cheat. Good luck everyone - looking forward to my new SEXY body!
I received my package today...a lot of people have complained about getting their order but i received my package in 6 days...cant wait to start the program!!! YAY
why don't you all try the 17 day diet....i did it for 3 months and lost 40lbs with no excerise...and my g/f ordered the pink method and i see no difference in that and the 17 day diet
I started this program on January 2, and I have to tell you...I am not hungry at all...getting all the veggies and water in is often difficult even. I have lost a total of 6.2 lbs in only 2 days! I love it! If you are committed to losing weight and sticking to it, this diet is perfect. What I love is how it teaches you for life. No fad, or extreme measures here...Just cut out sugar, starch, bread, potatoe, etc...Up your water and eat only meat and veggies for the first phase...Not difficult. People that are complaining are not ready to lose. If you are getting headaches its from the lack of caffeine and sugar! Drink green tea! Good luck to all you ladies! I am so stoked!
I saw the Pink Methop on Dr phils show, I don't recall them talking about a special diet before you can even go to exercising. I'm a 60 year old female, I have drank cokes all my life (boy is this hard). I truly believe that is there was exercise to do while on this diet it would make it alote easier. I've never exercised a day in my life. I just find it very nerve wrecking, Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I really do not want to loose any weight just lift and tighten what I have.
I started the diet on the 1st and have already lost two pounds. It says that you can lose a pound a day on the Reset phase. I must admit the forst two days were a little hard because I was hungry but today is much better. I did not find this start up to be expensive at all. It was $70 for the program, $30 for a large container of Vanilla Whey protein, $15 for a weeks worth of frozen strawberries and $6 for two half gallons of almond milk. I spent $15 of chicken breasts for the week and about $15 on veggies that will probably last the week. This is very comparable to how much I would normally spend on food and the program is comparable to others. So far so good. I am motivted by the results so far. I love the bracelet that reminds me to be good.
I work at Dr. Phil and after seeing these women coming back to the show after only 2-3 months with DRASTIC incredible changes, I decided to start it also. My first day is today, but I saw with my very own eyes that it works, so I have no doubt that it will work for me and everyone else that tries it and STICKS TO IT.
A couple of questions--Does anyone know if the Dr. Phil show is available to watch on my conputer? Has anyone "of a certain age"--ie over 60--tried it. While I'm quite active and walk a lot I'm wondering if the exercise routine will be too out of my league.
LOVE the way I feel on this program. Not hard to follow, great support & most important to me is that my fibromyalgia symptoms have improved dramatically.
Hello everyone! For you lady's that give it a thumbs down are really stupied. Sorry hate to be mean but your really complaining over the order and shipping. Hello this is about the diet! As I made my point I'm going to go on. I had my little girl at 17 and after I had her I gained 30 pounds which was 160 and 2 years after I gained another 30 pounds and now I'm 190. Wight myself today and dropped 10 pounds and that was just from eating less and well. I haven't started the pink yet. My step mom as a gift is ordering it for me and I can't wait to start!! I have heard only good things about it and very pleased. I would like to lose those 3o pounds a gained so about 60 pounds! I wish everyone good luck and you can do it! Don't forget that if u have a Facebook join the pink method support group!
looking to buy used P.I.N.K. method
Do you workout during Pink Method Reset? do you work out on the RESET program? or after? very excited to get started, waiting for it to arrive!
If you are thinking of purchasing the pink method DON'T DO IT!!!!!! They sent me 2 orders and are making me pay the shipping to send one back when it was their mistake!! Their customer service(I tried to get in touch with them over 50 times before I actually got a hold of someone) is the worst that I have EVER dealt with. The girls that I dealt with are extremely rude and very unknowledgeable. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they told me that he was busy and I couldn't talk with him, they would give me his email address. (which means I will never get a response) I am very sorry that I watched Dr Phil that day and am very sorry that I ever placed an order for this product. If you have any question DON'T ORDER IT!! If you are unhappy with it you will never see a refund and good luck getting a hold of someone. When I asked the customer service girl if she used the product she said "I don't need to" very cocky. DON'T ORDER--DON'T ORDER--DON'T ORDER!!!!! Let my mistake be a lesson for all!!!!!!!
So far, easy to follow. I am a very methodical persona and this diet helps me stick to a precise schedule and routine without any guess work. As for Joann R., I am wondering if you got the wrong protein powder, my pinked drinks have never turned out green or brown. Also, the hemp/pea protein tasted identical to any other whey protein I have ever used, you cannot tell the difference. As with any diet, you get out of it what you put into it. I am guessing you didn't put much in and will remain an overweight cynic. This diet is also quite reasonable, for $70 you get everything you need to accomplish your goals (minus groceries of course). I've paid that for gym memberships alone. I say, if you're willing to put the work in, this is a good one!
To Joann R - I watched the P.I.N.K Method on Dr. Phil twice before I ordered and didnt order any supplements - in fact - don't remember any....I have been following the book completely including food choices and have already lost 9 lbs and 1 pant size since Dec 9th! The shake with Vanilla Whey Protein + Coconut Milk + Strawberries is the best! It took me 2 days to get used to the taste but mostly because I never cared for milk anyway. This program is totally worth it - I was working out at the gym for 2 hrs a day from March - August and didn't lose this much weight. Give it a chance you will be surprised.
I love it. The Pink drink can also be made with vanilla whey protein, which makes the shake look pink, and taste like a strawberry milkshake minus all the sugar. The energy I get from it is amazing. You shouldn't work out during the reset due to the paucity of carbs that are being consumed- this is healthy. The workouts begin when you get off of the reset and start eating more. Straight out, the plan makes sense, and is extremely inspiring. Most of the complaints, save the customer service comments, seem to be from those who have not looked into the plan enough. I don't make a million dollars, but luckily fruits and veggies and normally pretty cheap. The most expensive item that I've had to purchase was the Whey protein powder at a whopping 15.00- totally worth it, might I add. You gotta do what you gotta do. VIP access is instant, and there is also a support group on facebook. Sure, I could just eat more veggies, lean protein, and workout on my own, but as busy as I am, I need more guidance, and the PINK method gives me just that. I am excited to see where this program takes me.
Ladies go for it if u have tried a million diets and failed like me. Just completed the initial reset and wow - lost 9 pounds. Never thought of this.
Oh my God! I got this a couple of weeks ago and went ahead and ordered all of the supplements they said you needed! THEN I actually sat down and got into the menu portion .... 1/2 cup of oatmeal .... 1/2 cup seems to be a theme.... But the worst, the most disgusting thing I have ever seen is what is sitting in my blender right now! I got the hemp powder (it's green) and I put the strawberries and coconut milk in it and started blending. Now I have a picture of this if you want to see it, just in case you don't believe me. I swear it looks exactly like dog vomit. I couldn't look at it without hot water coming up in my throat. This is such a rip off. Anyone will lose weight if they stay below 800 calories a day and do the "easy" (yeah right) exercises they want you to do. They AND Dr. Phil should have been honest. This diet is for people who have a lot of money for special foods (yeah, a lot of them require doing some digging to find them as I bet they aren't in your cabinet and never have been), have a ton of time to fix this stuff and don't mind being hungry 24 hours a day...... Let me know if you want to see the picture, no problem, glad to share it before you are robbed like I feel.
The diet on The Pink Method is very basic. It is alot the same as other plans. The advantage is that they spell it out for you on a daily basis. The workouts are tough. Luckily they only last about 40-45 min! I am in week 2 and they are getting easier for me. I am 48 need to lose about 20 pounds. Lost 6 in the reset!!

The genuine sisagp.sys file is a software component of SiS AGP Filter for Windows NT by Silicon Integrated Systems.
Sisagp.sys is a device driver for the SiS AGP Filter for Windows NT. Device drivers allow hardware to communicate directly with the operating system and computer memory. Disabling this driver might cause problems with the hardware associated with it, such as a sound card or a graphics card. Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) is a Taiwanese company that manufactures motherboard chipsets that have applications in consumer electronics, personal computers, HDTV, etc. It was founded in 1987 and is headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan.
SiSAGP stands for SiS Advanced Graphics Port Filter for Windows NT
Sisagp.sys is a Windows driver. A driver is a small software program that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or connected devices. This means that a driver has direct access to the internals of the operating system, hardware etc. The free file information forum can help you determine if sisagp.sys is a Windows system file or if it belongs to an application that you can trust.
Run a free scan to check for sisagp drivers in need of updating
The process known as SiS NT AGP Filter belongs to software SiS® NT AGP Filter or SiS® NT AGP Filter for Windows XP by Silicon Integrated Systems (www.sis.com).
Description: The original sisagp.sys is an important part of Windows and rarely causes problems. The sisagp.sys file is located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder.
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 41,088 bytes (40% of all occurrences), 40,960 bytes or 27,136 bytes.
The driver can be started or stopped from Services in the Control Panel or by other programs. The sisagp.sys file is a Windows system file. The program is not visible. The service has no detailed description. Sisagp.sys is a Microsoft signed file. Therefore the technical security rating is 6% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify sisagp.sys related errors
Important: Some malware disguises itself as sisagp.sys, particularly when not located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder. Therefore, you should check the sisagp.sys process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with sisagp. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the sisagp.sys process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Serves 6 to 8
Here is a sumptuous plain vanilla bread pudding. You can substitute blueberries or blackberries for the raspberries.
Cooker: Medium round
Setting and Cook Time: HIGH for 2-1/2 hours, plus 15 minutes uncovered
5 to 6 cups coarsely crumbled or diced stale French bread, challah,
challah, or rich white bread, crusts removed
1/2 pint container fresh raspberries
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1-1/4 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream for serving
1. Coat the slow cooker with butter-flavor nonstick cooking spray.
2. Layer half of the crumbled bread in the slow cooker, and sprinkle with half of the berries. Repeat the layers, ending with the berries on top. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the cooker over the bread cubes and berries, and gently push down the bread to evenly moisten. Cover and cook on HIGH until puffed and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 2-1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 190 degrees F.
3. Remove the lid and cook on HIGH for another 15 minutes.
4. Cover, turn off the cooker, and let the pudding stand to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream, if desired.

I'm finding myself in an unusual situation, Gary. I totally agree with ya here. I've been a county campaign manager (Gene Johnston back in the '80's) I licked enough envelopes that I thought my lips would be stuck to my tongue. But, they did the same thing in Alamance and Guilford and he won. Sure, other things came into play, but as you say, there are things you can say in a direct mailing that can't/shouldn't be said on the airwaves or in newspapers…the internet wasn't a big deal back then :-).
Good advice.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Five children are in protective custody and their parents have been charged after neighbors found a 6-year-old boy locked out of his Kansas City home in freezing weather.
Police questioned Daniel Greenfield, 34, and Melanie Davis, 29, late Sunday after neighbors heard the boy crying. Both were charged Monday with five counts of child abuse or neglect and misdemeanor endangerment.
One neighbor says the boy told her his parents had put him out of the house, although the child told officers he fell asleep inside the family's car on a drive home and woke up alone.

Fishermen on ice as sturgeon spear season opens
By Brendan O'Brien
WINNECONNE, Wis (Reuters) - Dan Loftus, on a mission to spear a sturgeon from the ice-choked waters of Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin, dropped a rubber chicken into the frigid emerald abyss and waited.
The 48-year-old chiropractor from Germantown sat on a lawn chair in the dark and leaned over, staring into the murky water through a hole carved into 10-inch-thick ice as his two buddies gregariously told stories and drank beer behind him.
"It's the most boring thing ever. It's really boring, just watching a hole," Loftus said of his quest. "But it's relaxing."
The trio, huddled in their shanty, were some of the thousands of fishermen to take part in the opening day on Saturday of Wisconsin's brief sturgeon spear season for a hunt that is part outdoor sport and part tradition.
When and if a sturgeon swam into their hole, one of the men was to drop a five-tined spear onto the prehistoric-looking fish. Once the sturgeon is speared, fishermen pull the fish - which could weigh 200 pounds - out of the hole in the ice.
In addition to a 50-pound, 10-foot spear and rubber chicken decoy that attracts the sturgeon, the group was equipped with beer, plates of bacon and eggs for sustenance, and a fair amount of patience.
Carrie Seelow, 30, a first-timer who speared a 155-pound sturgeon that was laid in the back of her pick-up truck, described the adrenaline-fueled moment she speared the fish as one of "pure excitement".
"Don't miss. Don't miss," she said of what was running through her mind as the fish swam below her and her husband Nathan. "My heart's racing. I'm shaking and he's yelling at me and we got it. We got it." Continued...

Natalie Portman Scores Jackie Kennedy Gig
She's renowned the world over for her acting range, and Natalie Portman's latest job finds her playing the late Former First Lady Jackie Kennedy in "Jackie."
The "Garden State" gal will take on the role, set in November 1963 around the assassination of President John F Kennedy.
Rachel Weisz, who was previously linked to the project, told press that she had nothing but the highest praises for the film.
"It's a very beautiful script. I think it's the four or five days after the assassination and how Jackie deals with the assassination and the funeral. It's not a biopic. It's about that short period of time," she gushed.

Can anyone explain how the compressor works in MCS equipped GM cars? I've searched endless hours trying to figure this out. I'm asking principally because the rear shocks on my 2003 STS seem to be maxed out for a sport ride.....very, very stiff. Weight added to the trunk or weight removed makes no difference. The shocks seem to be locked in the stiffest suspension mode. I've read that the compressor has a release valve, and when activated, presumably by a sensor, the stiffness should adjust. This doesn't happen for me. I've read about how magnetized particles within the shocks are energized by a control module to control damping. It doesn't seem that the compressor could have anything to do with this since air is not an issue. So, what is the purpose of the compressor in a GM car with MSC if damping isn't controlled by air?
Can anyone recommend a trouble shooting procedure to resolve this damping problem? It seemed to come on suddenly. One day the ride was perfect; the next day extremely harsh. Because of the sudden change in ride characteristics, I don't suspect the struts or shocks. They only have 41K easy miles on them, and the car has always been garaged.
I would be grateful for any help and advice.

did you check the md5 of the iso before burning, and did you burn it as slow as possible with imgburn, as it sounds like you may just have a bad disk.
Hi all,
specs :
dual PIII 1ghz
2 gb ram
nvidia 2MX
trying to run BT2 Live.
It boots,
I log in succesfully,
I run xconf succesfully,
I start xwin succesfully,
I get inside the KDE.
Nothing strange so far.
Mouse works.
Then when I click on anything, ie start a shell, the system freezes
I've tried the same disk on another machine ( nvidia card as well but more recent model ) with no problem a all.
If it was a graphics card pbm, would it go as far as loading the hole KDE ?
Thanks in advance,
did you check the md5 of the iso before burning, and did you burn it as slow as possible with imgburn, as it sounds like you may just have a bad disk.
thanks very much for the quick reply.
Will try as you suggest.
The reason I did not so far is the CD seems to work fine on a different machine ...
Just because it works on one machine doesn't mean the disc is ok, some drives are better at reading discs than others and some drives will have better error correction than others.
I agree, but one thing I forgot to mention.
On the machine where BT freezes, I have 2 players.
(one cd player and one combo unit).
And the same thing happens on both of them, ie freezes.
I'll try a slow burn tonight.... Let you know.
You are probably experiencing an "I/O flood". If you start X windows (use xconf then startx), immediately attempt to open a terminal and type dmesg. Let us know what it says.
If that doesn't work, try the same thing using flux.
Does your CD light show that it is accessing the drive? No light usually means that you have "flooded out your DMA".
Once out of X windows (if it won't exit, hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, which will dump you out to the command prompt), does the condition still exist (again, check with dmesg)? If so, other debuging methods could possibly be employed.
Also, I don't understand all this MD5 checksum stuff from a burn. I would say that 99% of all the people with disk issues are due to their NOT using the make_iso programs to create the disks, but rather using an ISO reading program and just replacing files they want to change then recreating an .iso. The Linux loader is not tolerant of build vs burn checksum differences. As for me, I test all of my BT2 disks using 12X CD-RWs burned at 10X. I have burned disks on various machines and NONE of them have caused me problems. But then, I ALWAYS use make_iso.bat to create my .iso file.
To SLK001 :
thanks for the reply.
Sorry for the newb question, but how do I sart a terminal while the KDE is loading ?? Once I am inside the KDE I cannotIf you start X windows (use xconf then startx), immediately attempt to open a terminal and type dmesg
click on anything without freezing.
No the light is dead. When I click to open a shell for ex, I hear the drive starting to spin for a second and then freeze.... wich seems to correspond to a "DMA flood".Does your CD light show that it is accessing the drive?
My plan for tonight is to check/burn at 4x an iso downloaded from one of the Remote Exploit mirrors.I test all of my BT2 disks using 12X CD-RWs burned at 10X
The iso had yesterday was from a friend's FTP. Don't know where he got it from.
At least I guess that will eliminate the bad disc possibility if it still does not work.
Let you know...
Thanks again,
To rokrmc,
Hi ,
thanks for the reply.
Probably a good idea exept this PC is a real pain to access/open.
Would be a las tresort thing unfortunatly.
The HDs are SCSI so hopefully I can disable them from
the Bios.
I agree with that but for me i think i'll configure the hardware to find out what is the pb if the live cd work with others machine..That is the points if you want to know...

In honor of our second wedding anniversary, each day for the next week or so I will be writing a little tidbit about our big day. I love re-living all this special moments, so I hope you enjoy reading about it too!
Wondering why there's more than 7 posts in my "wedding week"? See my note at the top of yesterday's post.
Because we had family from out of town come for the wedding, we wanted to soak up as much time as possible with them! (Plus we had a lot of leftover food.) The day after our wedding everyone was invited to my parents' house for a little lunch, and to socialize while we opened up our gifts.
A few of our out of town cousins.
Overall, we loved having the extra time with people. On a smaller scale it was so much easier to talk and have quality catch up time with everyone! Plus we had a lot of great stories to share from the reception the night before. :)
In case you missed it here are my previous recaps:
the rehearsal
getting ready
the details
the first look
the bridal party
the ceremony
the reception
the exit

Sony new Xplod In-Car AV GPS now comes with TomTom Navigation.
Announced for IFA 2010, Sony's latest rage of In-Car AV GPS, the XNV-L77BT/ 770BT and XNV-L66BT/ 660BT, comes in 2 different flavors with a 7 and 6.1" WVGA touchscreen, TomTom Navigation, DVD Video and even DviX playback via USB. Depending of your model of choice you will have the possibility to choose between a standard model and an L model including some nice little widgets like Google power search, Weather Data, Traffic info…
·Superior screen, usability and sound quality delivered to you from Sony
·Outstanding live services and sophisticated maps brought to you by TomTom
·Two leading technology experts combine to create all-mighty AV Navigation in-car products: the XNV-L77BT/ 770BT and XNV-L66BT/ 660BT
With ever-increasing traffic congestion and time pressure, it's harder to make driving a pleasure when getting from A to B is rarely plain sailing. But now Sony has combined its strength and knowledge in AV with those of TomTom, leading provider of location and navigation solutions, to deliver a range of Xplod™ AV centres with navigation that puts the power back with the driver.
Sony's brand new range of in-car multimedia AV centre is the XNV-L77BT, 770BT, L66BT and 660BT. "Infotainment", real-time information + multi-media entertainment, is increasingly becoming part of our daily lives, and these new products meet this demand from commuters and travellers on the road.
Each system consists of Sony's AV head unit and TomTom's navigation module with its cutting edge navigation services. The XNV-L77BT (7" widescreen) and XNV-L66BT (6.1" widescreen) take full advantage of TomTom Live services including HD Traffic™, Local Search with Google™ and Safety Alerts.
HD Traffic™ gives drivers the most accurate and up-to-date traffic information, live on the in-dash head unit. Road incidents and delays are updated every three minutes, giving alternative routing to avoid jams. Knowing what's ahead allows safer driving. Safety Alerts give advanced warnings of where the safety cameras (fixed and mobile) and dangerous areas are.
Another advantageous live feature is Local Search with Google™. Imagine you've just arrived in town and need to find a restaurant. Simply search straight from the AV centre touch screen using Google Map, the world's largest location database. What's more, you can make a call right from the search page to book a table. Locating, calling and arriving at local shops and businesses couldn't be easier!
All AV Navigation models come with the most comprehensive and sophisticated maps from TomTom. Map coverage is far-reaching across 45 European countries. Route calculation by TomTom is much more complex than simply using maximum speed limits. The unique IQ Routes™ technology with their extensive historical database of 'real' travel times calculates the fastest route taking into account the time and day you're travelling. This includes rush hours, weekends and even slow traffic lights.
Keeping the most up-to-date maps in your dash is essential. Thanks to MapShare™ from TomTom and its enormous navigation community, you can correct your maps and benefit from changes made by other drivers via your computer and the free software TomTom HOME.
The new in-car AV centre Xplod range is built on the same product platform as the XAV-70BT in-car multimedia centre, which has recently won the EISA Award European In-Car A/V Head Unit 2010-20111. The new devices feature all the great AV innovations of this award winning product. They are double-DIN and boast ultra bright WVGA screens displaying high resolution of 800×480 pixels – that's five times the resolution of mainstream QVGA AV Centre displays.
Audio quality is also first-class and precisely what users have come to expect with products from Sony. Attention to detail, such as completely separating the Audio and Video signal paths, ensures unmatched quality of AV reproduction. With Centre Speaker Organiser, listeners can enjoy a rich and expansive soundstage as it recreates 5.1 channel surround sound by placing an additional 'virtual' speaker right in the middle of the dash board. The AV centres also use Intelligent Time Alignment, which considers the driver's position and allows adjustments to the timing of the sound from the different channels for an optimum listening experience.
The touch screen, simple display layout and useful onscreen functions or buttons give a very intuitive user experience. Cutting edge patented technology from Sony such as ZAPPIN™ and SensMe™ make your music selection easy and fun, helping you find the tune that's just right for whatever driving mood you may be in. Genuinely multimedia, the range has excellent connectivity across a wide range of digital music players including WALKMAN®, iPod, iPhone and USB memory drives. In addition, it features integrated Bluetooth™ for mobile phone wireless music stream and hands-free phone calls.
