Hi, is there any other way of removing a password in windows 7 other than using an independent software?
Do you mean if you know the password and don't want to use one, or if you've forgotten the password?
Here are the directions for both.
If you know the password, but don't want to have to enter it when you log in you can easily remove it.
Click on the Start button, then control panel. Now click on Add/Remove User Accounts, and then click on the account name you want to remove the password from. Click Remove the password, type in the password and click Remove password.
Next time you log in when you click on that user it will log you right in.
If you do not know the password, you will need a utility to manually remove the password.
The most popular of these utilities is Offline NT Password Editor which can be downloaded here [1] and burned to a CD. There are detailed instructions on how to use this program, but it isn't without its dangers. If you use any type of encryption in Windows, this either will fail or will make your computer inaccessible.
This should only be used as a last resort if you've totally forgotten your password and are locked out of Windows.
WARNING: This is a very ADVANCED technical tool and can cause significant damage to your system. ONLY proceed if you have no other choice, or you are aware and have read the entire walk through guide and information on NT Password Editor. You have been warned.
There is a detailed walk-through available [2] of the software here, but here are the prompts you should receive:
Disks: Disk /dev/sda: 42.9 GB, 42949672960 bytes Candidate Windows partitions found:
1 : /dev/sda1 40958MB BOOT
Please select partition by number or
q = quit
d = automatically start disk drivers
m = manually select disk drivers to load
f = fetch additional drivers from floppy / usb
a = show all partitions found
l= show propbable Windows (NTFS) partitions only
Select: [1]
For this prompted you will most likely type 1, or type whichever number is next to the line that says BOOT at the end. Type the number and press enter.
Next you will be asked:
Select which part of registry to load, use predefined choices
or list the files with space as delimiter
1- Password reset [sam system security]
2 – RecoveryConsole parameters [software]
q – quit – return to previous
[1] :
Type 1 and press enter.
Next you will be prompted:
1 – Edit user data and passwords

3- RecoveryConsole settings – – –
9 – Registry editor, now with full write support!
q – Quit (you will be asked if there is something to save)
What to do? [1] ->
Type 1 and press enter.
The next step is to select your username
Select: ! – quit, . – list users, 0x – User with RID (hex) or simply enter the username to change: [Administrator]
Type in your username as shown above this command. You should see a bunch of different logins including Administrator be sure to type in the username of the user you want to delete the password of and press enter.
You will then be prompted with:
– – – – User Edit Menu:
1 – Clear (blank) user password
2 – Edit (set new) user password (careful with this on XP or Vista)
3 – Promote user (make user an administrator)
(4 – Unlock and enable user account) [seems unlocked already]
q – Quit editing user, back to user select
Select: [q] >
Type 1 and press enter.
Your next step is to type ! which will then bring you back to the main menu
Loaded hives:
1 – Edit user data and passwords
2 – Syskey status & change
3 – RecoveryConsole settings – – –
9 – Registry editor, now with full write support!
q – Quit (you will be asked if there is something to save)
Type q and press enter and when prompted to write files back type y and press enter.
You can now press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot your computer and remove the boot disk from the CD drive. If successful, when Windows starts the password should be removed.

iPad Scanner, as easy as it can get...
By the IT guy for my parents....
from Los Angeles
Best Uses
This scanner is Extremely easy to setup and the FREE app i-scan is Extremely easy to use. It really only has ONE button. "SCAN". You line-up your document or photo to scan, you press scan and it's done. I definitely would give this a 4.5 Star rating. My only complaint is that you cannot adjust the scan quality. It's a one size fits all and I think it's a basic feature to have. I bought this for my parents whom are both well over 70yrs old. They are pretty comfortable with the iPad and were in need of photo and document sharing. This is the absolute best solution. As far as reliability, it's just good enough. Not rock solid, but it works. The document feeder is a little sketchy at times. It doesn't work well with photos that have a glossy finish so you have to use the feeder envelope they include. Otherwise, it works and whenever buying from Hammacher Schlemmer, no need to worry. Lifetime Guarantee is hands down the best in the industry.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A very handy thing to have
By Mijjy
from Toronto , Canada.
I always have my I- pad with me & it is very handy to have a small compact scanner that is easy to carry with me too. I had to buy a slightly larger ( but still pretty small) carrier bag to accommodate both the I pad & the scanner but that's o.k. All I need now is a small , compact , portable printer to go with them. Maybe they already have one available but I have not seen it. My office all in one small bag !

According to a recent article in USA Today, at least 41 children have died so far this year in the U.S. because absent-minded parents or caregivers left them in cars in hot weather.
NHTSA warns that a car's windows act like a greenhouse, trapping sunlight and heat. It says cars parked in direct sunlight can reach internal temperatures up to 131° – 172° F when outside temperatures are 80° – 100° F. Within 10 minutes, the temperature in an enclosed vehicle will rise an average of 19 degrees.
Janette Fennell, founder and president of the advocacy group Kids and Cars, notes that the number of children who died in overheated cars increased after laws were passed mandating rear-facing child seats.
She and other safety advocates want automakers to install warning systems that would let people know they have left a child behind, and the advocates are calling on government to force the issue. Solutions are out there, including a baby seat sensor developed by NASA in 2002. Should NHTSA force automakers to provide warning systems – or would that be one more example of unnecessary intrusion by the "nanny state?" If an automaker did offer such a warning system, who would buy it? Who, after all, thinks they would need it?
Why would a parent or caregiver leave a kid in a car on a warm day? Two reasons come to mind. One is that the person doesn't realize the danger, in which case education really could make a difference – as the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers advises. The best idea I heard is to put a briefcase, purse, or cell phone in the back seat close to the child. Make that a habit.
The other possibility, heard most often, is that the caregiver simply forgot that the child was in the car; thought he or she had dropped the child off – just like always. Reading the anonymous comments to articles on this topic, it has clearly struck a nerve. We've all been guilty of carelessness at one time or another and sometimes, as in leaving a child in a car on a hot day, the consequences can be tragic. But the idea that the government could force people to pay for a feature necessary to protect other people from their own carelessness sparks a lot of what seems to me to be self-righteous indignation.
In fact, I can't imagine a term of scorn that comes close to what a caregiver would heap on him/herself were this to happen.
A child has died.

Max & Mo Series
Brian Floca
Reading Level: Grades 1 - 2
Max and Mo are a pair of school hamsters who remind us of certain library rodents we know you all love. Max and Mo share a habitat in the school's art room and watch the children participate in class. In each book they sneak out of their cage to have some fun of their own using a few basic art supplies. Each book has directions for an art project at the end. The only way this series could be made better would be if Max and Mo were gerbils instead of hamsters.

Danny from Hobbs, New Mexico writes: Where can I get books that are read to you for my Android Tablet? I like stories but I don't like to read.
Danny, you have several options for enjoying audio books on your Android tablet.
If you're interest in free audio books, you might want to check out LibriVox in the Google Play Store. It provides access to over 6,000 audiobooks that you can either stream or download free of charge. The works are mostly classics, put together by dedicated volunteers who record, edit and distribute the books.
As you can tell from its user ratings in the Google Play Store, this app has a lot of fans.
It's a free app with free content, so just head to the Google Play Store and click Install. You can also check out other free audio book apps like Audiobooks Traveling Classics.
If you'd like to borrow Audio books from the library, check out the Hoopla and Overdrive Apps. Both will allow you to borrow from participating libraries. My local library uses Overdrive and there's a good selection of audiobooks available. You can learn more about Overdrive by clicking here.
If you're looking to buy newer books, there's Audible. Audible is a division of Amazon and offers 100,00 plus titles for sale. They also have some free books available for download.
The books are not cheap, best sellers often run around the $30 mark if they are unabridged. But audible does offer monthly and annual plans that allow you to save some money.
Fortunately Danny, you have a lot of options. Check them out to see what works best for your needs and your budget.

NYPL notes: Self confident in his role
Doubledays closer prefers the 'fast tempo' of bullpen work
By Brian Moynahan / Special to MLB.com | August 17, 2012 6:44 AM ET
Though he currently ranks third in the NYPL with 10 saves, these facts don't seem to bother Auburn's Derek Self, who's reluctant to apply the closer label to his current role in the Doubledays bullpen.
"There's really no set roles right now, especially here in short-season," said the 22-year-old right-hander. "Who knows? They could try to turn me into a starter next year. I still don't know. But I feel like if you're still performing pretty well at the role they have you in, they will try their best to keep you there."
A ninth-round pick from Cave City, Ky., who recorded seven saves as a senior at Louisville after starting 16 games during his first three seasons at the school, Self was used primarily as a middle reliever to begin the Doubledays season. He struggled in his first few outings, allowing five runs on nine hits in eight innings.
His first save came against Lowell on July 4. Since then, he's allowed five runs on 13 hits in 16 1/3 innings while converting 10 of 11 save opportunities.
"I guess they saw something out of me to make them want to start using me out of the back end of the bullpen like I did in college," said Self before a recent game against the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. "I feel like I had more success in the back end of the bullpen."
He's enjoyed that success with a four-pitch repertoire that consists of a fastball, cut fastball, slider and changeup. The fastball sits in the low-to-mid 90s and is the pitch he uses most often, while the cut fastball has become one of his most trusted offerings.
"I just recently put the cutter in, last year in college, and it really worked well for me," he said. "It's been one of my go-to pitches, or when I'm facing a solid hitter where you can't just throw straight fastballs to him, because anybody can catch up to a fastball."
While it might be considered unusual for a relief pitcher to throw four different pitches, Self feels that having so many options makes him better, especially if one or more of them isn't working on a given day.
"I feel like it's important if you've got four of them you can throw, then you just really have the hitter off-balance," Self said. "Because maybe one day the cutter isn't working, I might go with the slider. Maybe one day both aren't working -- I need an off-speed pitch -- I go with the changeup. Because you can't just sit there and rely on your fastball the whole time."
Despite the variety of his repertoire, his collegiate background as a starter/reliever and his reluctance to call himself Auburn's closer, it's clear that Self is pleased with the path his career is taking.
"I think I like the 'pen a little better because starting, you're more relaxed and you've got to keep your composure a little better. It's a slower tempo," said Self. "I like the fast tempo. I like getting amped up before I go out there to throw. I like to go out there and throw all-out, so definitely [I'm more comfortable in] the 'pen. I like pressure situations."
Former Doubleday reaches milestone: Bluefield Blue Jays manager Dennis Holmberg won his 1,300th career game last Friday with a win over the Burlington Royals. Holmberg won 429 of those games in the NYPL, where he spent 10 years with the Newark Co-Pilots (1977) and Auburn Doubledays (2002-10). He won division titles in his first five seasons with the Doubledays, capping the run with a championship in 2007.
The road ain't so bad: Tri-City leads the league with a 41-14 record, including a 23-5 mark on the road. Since 2005, only the 2005 (26-12) and 2006 (25-12) Oneonta Tigers won at least 25 road games in a season. The ValleyCats play 10 more games away from Joseph L. Bruno Stadium this season, traveling to Brooklyn, Lowell, Connecticut and Vermont.
Challenging history: The last pitcher to lead the NYPL in wins and strikeouts was Hamilton's Dave Oehrlein in 1992, but Brooklyn's Rainy Lara is in position to challenge for leadership in both categories: his seven wins are currently the best total in the league, while his 63 strikeouts are only four behind teammate and league leader Luis Mateo.
Ouch: State College Spikes outfielder Tyler Gaffney has been hit by a league-leading 17 pitches in just 31 games this season. The NYPL single-season record is 24, set by Mahoning Valley's Christopher Gimenez in 2004. Gimenez went on to play the 2005-06 seasons for Cleveland's Class A affiliate in Lake County, where he was hit by a total of 51 pitches over the course of the two seasons.

Rebuilding the front suspension, with pics
1999 BMW 528iT, 120K miles. Front end is original.
Used OEM or better for the overhaul. Struts, Thrust arms, control arms, tie rods, sway bar links and all the misc accessories.
At the last minute decided to do the wheel bearings and what a good decision that turned out to be.
I wish I could take credit for this but let's just say I got a bit of capable help with it.
I won't duplicate the already excellent "Front Suspension DIY" but here are a few additional items to point out.
Here are the thrust arm and control arm installed, the Beilstein HD strut is visible in its unmistakable yellow color.
The new wheel bearing installed.
I tried to use an air tool with the plate out and laying on the floor and 4 bolts visible in the back, but my compressor was flaky so ended up putting it in a vice and undoing the 4 bolts in the back. The other method is to unbolt the wheel bearing with the plate installed in the car, that's another good idea, just a bit slower.
My old wheel bearings were on the verge of wearing out, judging by the slight noise that came out of them. The fact is, the wheel bearings are impossible to remove without removing the strut, more evidence of engineering genius. Since I had the whole thing out, I thought might as well swap the wheel bearings too.
One of the most troublesome elements in this whole saga was the passenger's side sway bar bushing, difficult to remove the old one and nearly impossible to put in the new one, very little clearance. To be specific, the bushing itself went in OK but the bracket that goes over it was the problem, it just wouldn't go in. The trick was to loosen the driver's side sway bar bushing bolts, giving it some room, then the impossible becomes just difficult. Stupid design, needs just a few inches of clearance.
The driver's side sway bar bushing was OTOH a piece of cake, just came out, since there is no exhaust in the way like on passenger's side.
Let's review this pile of the dead bones.
First, the OEM struts were completely, catastrophically dead, all the oil leaked, could be compressed by hand. The "bounce test" suggested they were shot.
The thrust arms, control arms and tie rods were all in various stages of decomposition. The bushings cracked, one tie rod pretty loose.
The wheel bearings were either already worn out or just about to be. They, like the rest of the components had 120K miles on them so they were right on time.
The bearings for the struts were in bad shape. One was completely gone.
The sway bar bushing were obviously worn but not destroyed.
The only piece in the whole suspension that was "OK" and could probably be reused, especially considering it's the easiest component to replace, was the sway bar links. They were put in some 40K miles prior which explains why they weren't shot.
One casualty of this whole engagement was the unrelated air pump vent tube. During the jacking up phase, it just decided to crack its tired, brittle 10 year old self. A quick trip to the dealership and 35 Federal Reserve Notes later, resulted in a new one installed. I know I could have used regular hose but what the hey. Basically a POS is a POS and the new tube doesn't seem to be redesigned.
To summarize, the handling has improved, which is obvious in that the steering wheel is greatly responsive to the slightest move. Basically, it handles like a new car, precise. I haven't yet tested it on curvy roads but I expect less body roll.
What cost of all the parts? Time?
Time: about 8-10h depending on the experience.
(The only hiccup is the passenger's side swaybar bushing as I mentioned in the DIY, it took me 1.5h just for that stupid thing).
Very doable.
My car runs really solid now.
I am doing the REAR suspension in a few months using mmm635's DIY and will post a DIY later.
Nice! Gotta ask how you torqued up the thrust and control arm bushing bolts. I replaced my control arms, weighted the car, turned the wheels lock to lock to access the bushing bolts and torqued them. This caused my steering wheel to be out of alignment. :cry: Not a huge problem, more annoying than anything. I have since redone this torquing procedure several times but the steering wheel is still out of alignment. The last time, I loosened up the bushing bolts, drove the car slowly, turning the wheel lock to lock to hopefully undo what I did. I then straightened the wheels, jacked up the car onto wheel pads I built of 2x10s, weighted the car and retorqued the bolts using new nuts. It's still off line. :mad: Is there a proper way to torque these bolts or should I just have an alignment done? :dunno: I'm gonna do my thrust arms and struts in a few weeks so I'm planning to have an alignment done anyway. Just wondering if you experienced anything like this.
Fudman, you did everything right, torque the nuts with car on the ground/weight.
Yes, you need alignment.
etc, I sent my old parts to a local metal scrapyard.
I keep 1 old thrust arm for target practice (tapping new bolts into aluminum!).
Good pics. The seller I purchased my car from had new OEM thrust arms installed (look like yours) with the OEM rubber bushings. I later read about solid bushings as an option (Bav Auto and others have them), did you consider these? I'm told our OEM thrust arm bushings will be toast in 60k just like the originals where the solid type have a longer life, how long did your first set last. Also, how do you like your new struts? Those are what I'm considering putting in as well, heard nothing but good reviews on them. Nice to have a tight front end again isn't it?
What you see in the pics above the Meyle HD Bushing pressed in there.
well done! A complete front overhaul is a bit of work but the rewards are well worth it.
Jared has made up lists of the most commonly replaced suspension items for e39s, you can bookmark them for later reference. they are helpful to show you what parts are wear items and current pricing of the parts.
6 cylinder e39s: http://content.eactuning.com/diys/34...ion-parts-list
540i e39s: http://content.eactuning.com/diys/34...ion-parts-list
To clarify, I got major help on this project from another dedicated forum member, half an hour from me. I did my share of the job but I wasn't the brains in this overhaul.
However, my confidence level has risen tremendously, if I have to do this again, I think I could probably do it alone. A great learning experience.
To reiterate, it's mostly time consuming but there are a few rough spots you have to watch for that can really slow you down. Like making sure the Strut spring fits nicely in the rubber gasket and does not rub against the metal. I think a hour was lost right there trying to seat it right. And another hour was lost fitting the passenger side sway bar bushing due to the idiotic design with no clearance.
That and an hour was lost trying to get the compressor to work right, to no avail and resorting to hand tools.
That includes the somewhat optional wheel bearings. If you have to overhaul the front end, you should probably overhaul the wheel bearings while you are at it, since (1) they are probably close to being shot and (2), they are super easy to do with the struts out.

Post subject: REDandPEWTERs's updated 1.1 version: Mock Offseason.
Normally, I don't do 2 mock off-season predictions in 2 weeks, but I did a pre-mature off-season with us slated for the top 10. We are picking 13th.
Tampa Bay Bucs Current Free Agents:
- S Ronde Barber UFA
- RB LeGarrette Blount RFA
- TE Dallas Clark UFA
- G Roger Allen RFA
- DE Michael Bennett UFA
- CB E.J. Biggers UFA
- LB Jacob Cutrera UFA
- LS Andrew Economos UFA
- CB Danny Gorrer UFA
- G/T Derek Hardman UFA
- DT Corvey Irvin UFA
- DT Roy Miller UFA
- WR Roscoe Parrish UFA
- LB Nathan Triplett UFA
- C Cody Wallace UFA
- RB Danny Ware UFA
DE Michael Bennett
DT Roy Miller:
G Roger Allen: RFA Tender
RB Danny Ware
LS Andrew Economos
LB Jacob Cutrera
S Ronde Barber
Coaching Changes:
Cap Casualties/Cuts:
CB Eric Wright:
Worst Signing ever. Enough said. Glad his stupidity relieves us of any cap hit.
P Michael Koenen:
No punter in the NFL is worth 3.25 mil a year. Hasnt really been impressive either.
LB Quincy Black
: Hard to do this with his injury, but I cant see us paying him 6 million next year.
CB Myron Lewis:
WR Arrellious Benn:
Off-Season Signings:
CB Mike Jenkins:
5 yrs .
: Jenkins returns back to Tampa and regains his starting gig. Physical CB who can tackle and bump and run. Something Schiano will love.
CB Cary Williams
: Already turned down a 5 year 15 million offer from the Ravens. I think we can get him for 5 years about 5-6 mil per year. He's really flashed in Baltimore, but they have too much money tied up in other players that they let him go, and still have Webb and Smith.
TE Martellus Bennett:
Re-uniting the Bennett brothers together and also filling a top need.
T Doug Free:
I think Dallas cuts him loose with his big contract. His play has dipped a bit, but he's someone that could definately come in and start alongside Joseph.
1st Round: Enzekial Ansuh DE BYU
- Ansuh is going to be a stud. Only playing the position for 3 years, he really seems to have caught on pretty quick. Can you imagine what an NFL coaching staff can do with his talents? I compare him to JPP. Very strong, quick, and athletic who may not have had a high production, but consistently lived in opponents backfields. He consistently harrasses QBs and has lined up at DE,DT and OLB. This guy is going to be a stud and instantly improves our pass rush.
2nd Round: Kasheeme Greene OLB/MLB Rutgers
- Another instinctive LB that is brought in for Schiano to mold. Greene is highly athletic, big, strong, and fast. Converted safety and has shown great coverage ability to play in nickel situations with our other stud, Lavonte David. Foster has been good, but faded a bit towards the end of the year and struggled mightily in coverage. I think Greene has great versatility to play Inside and Outside. Him and David could really wreak havoc.
3rd Round: DJ Swearinger FS South Carolina
Yep. 3rd straight defensive pick. Him and Barron will be a physcial tag team duo back there for years to come. Love this kid. Well coached as well.
4th Round: Landry Jones QB Oklahoma
- Something needs to be done. Jones is definately an upgrade over Orlovsky and he's got very good tools, strong arm, and accuracy. Reminds me a bit of Matt Schaub coming out. Could spark Freeman. At worst, he's a quality back up we get.
4th Round: Josh Boyd DT Mississippi State
- Add depth to our dline. Boyd has some upside and solid pass rushing moves. I like this selection here.
5th Round: BW Webb CB William and Mary
- Small school CB prospect who's physical and got good ball skills. Kinda reminds me a bit of Assante Samuel, unknown guy. Nice developmental guy to come in and compete.
6th Round: Corey Fuller WR Virginia Tech
- Solid addition that is tough and can make catches over the middle. Fuller could compete with Underwood immediately.
7th Round: Mike Zordich RB PSU
- Big physcial back who can take some goal line and short yardage situations. Really like his versatilty and the way he converted from FB to RB.

The lack of bringing a cb in from the draft sticks out. It's a very deep draft class and EXPECT one in first 2 rounds
Next there is no improvement to the Slot position. Sorry a 6th rounder can't be the guy IMO
I love Green as much as the next person but don't know about the value there of a non pass rushing 2 down lb. Lets say he even takes over for Foster on nickel situations. Doesn't pop to me

The thing is, we get 2 younger vets in FA at CB position and a small school prospect with upside to develop. You're telling me you wouldn't feel comfortable with 2 vets such as Mike Jenkins and Cary Williams starting at CB with more depth/talent along the front 7?
If you were to put Darrell Revis and Nmadi Asomugah on this buc squad, we would still be bottom 5 in the league against the pass. Why? We were bottom 5 in sacks.

Also, I understand. The slot WR position isn't addressed. I just felt Greene was too good of a talent to pass up. BPA

Pretty meh tbh. Penn is much better than Free, and Dotson is a decent RT. I also don't see us drafting a DE when we already have 3 of starting caliber. Also, what about Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie? He's way better than Jenkins and Williams?

Doug free would not replace penn. he'd add competition to Dotson who played well but had his share of inconsistencies Che can be a solid starter but free will be available.
DRC might be the most overhyped and overrated CB. Freeman basically made him look like a guy buc fans want. From ring from pa and seeig quite a few eagles games guy is soft. Eagles fans said he'll get overpaid on the market and won't be worth it. Not physical at all but looks the part.
You say we have 3 starting caliber DE yet were bottom 5 in sacks as pressures. I think an upgrade needs to e made. Your secondary is only as good as you're front. Look at San fransisco. I look at their secondary as solid but their front 7 makes them look great.

"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 17?" he asks solemnly.

Lions wide receiver Titus Young was suspended for Week 12 due to multiple incidents that have been basically grouped together and labelled as conduct detrimental to the team. He has already been moved beneath Ryan Broyles on the positional depth chart, and there's a chance that Young won't play at all over the final five weeks. Head coach Jim Schwartz said Tuesday that Young is still not with the team following his suspension and when asked if Young may not play again this season, Schwartz responded, "Potentially."
Fantasy Analysis:
Young has no one to blame but himself. He was given a golden opportunity to show that he deserves to be the team's No. 2 WR, but he complained, whined and moped that chance away. Broyles looked fantastic against the Texans on Thanksgiving, catching six passes for 126 yards on 11 targets. He should be added in all leagues with special attention given in PPR leagues. The Lions still have the Colts, Packers and Cardinals on their schedule, good matchups for pass-first offenses.

Events Sierra Club meeting Reminder
Sierra Club meeting Reminder
Join the monthly Sierra Club meeting in Baruch next Thurs. Sep 5 at 7 pm for a presentation by Catherine Main, the new Executive Director for the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy. Main will give an update on existing East Cooper Land Conservancy projects and planned projects.
Catherine has an extensive personal and professional background in land conservation in the coastal southeast. Born on Hilton Head and raised on St. Simons Island, Catherine's passion for land conservation began early. "Living on the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia my entire life has given me great appreciation for how fragile our coastal communities are, and how land trusts can play a vital role in preserving a community's quality of life," says Catherine.
She was the founding director of the St. Simons Land Trust, helping to develop a Board of Directors, create a membership program and acquire land donations and conservation easements. Shortly after its founding, the St. Simons Land Trust was recognized by the Land Trust Alliance as one of the most successful new land trusts in the nation. Catherine continued her involvement in coastal conservation with work experiences at the Lowcountry Open Land Trust and most recently at the Kiawah Conservancy.
Catherine resides in Mount Pleasant with her two children and is excited to have the opportunity to work on preservation initiatives closer to home. "Mount Pleasant is a thriving community where people truly love where they live. One of the biggest conservation challenges in the East Cooper area is how to foster the economic benefits of rapid growth without losing the natural community characteristics we all love. If we do not work now to protect natural areas, they will be lost forever."
Sierra Club Membership meetings occur at 7 pm on the first Thursday of each month at MUSC Baruch Auditorium, 284 Calhoun Street. For more info: http://www.southcarolina.sierraclub.org/lunz/
Please note that that the "Dolphins as Sentinels for Human Health" presentation by Dr Diane Kamen and Dr Patricia Fair has been rescheduled for the Oct 3rd meeting.

SPCA dogs take to the wheel of a MINI Countryman to drive adoptions.
On Monday December 10th at 7pm local time three SPCA* rescue dogs, Monty, Porter and Ginny, got behind the wheel of a MINI Countryman Cooper S and proved you can teach an old dog new tricks. This world first was shown live on New Zealand's leading current affairs programme, Campbell Live, and was intended to raise awareness for the SPCA to help change some common misconceptions about rescue or shelter dogs.
MINI NZ has long been a supporter of the SPCA and earlier this year tasked their advertising agency, DraftFCB, with developing a campaign that would really make a difference. The Driving Dogs concept was a perfect integration.
"The campaign has been a monumental success with people talking about SPCA rescue dogs in news and social media all over the world. We hope that Porter, Monty and Ginny learning to drive a MINI Countryman will encourage people to make the SPCA their first choice when adopting a dog", said Simonne Mearns, Brand Manager of MINI NZ.
The 'Driving Dogs' collaboration between SPCA Auckland, acclaimed animal trainer Mark Vette from Animals on Q, MINI New Zealand and DraftFCB, began just two months ago when the three dogs were selected from SPCA Auckland.
After eight weeks of training at the Animal on Q headquarters the clever canines single pawedly accelerated down a straight road, maneuvered around a corner, straightened up and finished with a confident paw brake.
"The bigger MINI Countryman was the perfect model for our drivers, four doors for four paws. After modifying it slightly Monty, Porter and Ginny were able to reach the pedals, move the gear stick and grip the steering wheel. MINI is renowned for personalising vehicles, however, customising the MINI Countryman for a furry,
four-legged driver was an all time first", said Ms Mearns.
"We are delighted with the outcome of the Driving Dogs project. MINI as a brand is full of energy, extroverted and cheeky; this campaign reinforces this and demonstrates how gifted, talented and intelligent SPCA animals really are. We hope it will encourage people to consider SPCA dogs for pets, raise awareness and drive adoptions", said Mearns.

Nat & Mike
September 10
Napa, California
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
We wanted to have a very intimate wedding from the beginning (we had 40 guests). We wanted to find a small and cozy venue where our guests are not going to get lost. In addition, we got inspired by our friend's wedding the previous year – they rented a villa in Mexico for a whole week. Being wedding photographers, we knew that the wedding day is going to fly by and loved the idea of prolong celebration and being together with our friends and family. And so we were looking for a place that could accommodate at least some of our friends and family. We looked around for a while and when we finally saw the villa in Napa it was love from the first sight.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. We both knew we wanted to see each other before the wedding for the first look, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the day – just being able to hug and hold my husband to be took all the tension and stress out.
2. I loved having one long dinner table – it brought everyone together and dinner was so much fun!
3. My wedding dress – it took me a while to find it, but I still cannot get over how perfect it was! I wanted a light dress in which I'd be able to breath (it was an outdoor wedding in a 90 degree heat, and I didn't want to have a corset ). Also, I really wanted to have a dress that I haven't seen before on any of my brides (being a wedding photographer makes you so much pickier for your own wedding!). I went dress shopping with a friend and decided to try on that dress mostly for fun but when I put it on we both saw that that was the one!
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Both of us cannot stop thinking about the overall feel of the day. We wanted a wine country wedding at that's exactly what we had. It was warm, the air smelled of dry earth, ripening grapes, and wine; all of our dearest people were there, and we felt being absolutely surrounded by their love for us.

Portland Timbers brimming with humble confidence
The Caleb Porter-led Portland Timbers have never been a side lacking in confidence.
The first-year head coach has instilled a hard-working sense of self-belief tempered with humbleness amongst the group from Day 1. Heading into their first-ever MLS Cup Playoffs – coming off a 5-0 drubbing of Chivas USA in the weekend's season finale – as the top seed in the Western Conference that couldn't be more true.
"This group is very, very hungry," Porter told MLSsoccer.com over the phone. "And I think they smell a little bit of blood in the water with the playoffs. And I like our chances. Obviously, it's not going to be easy, the teams we're going to have to match up against are very good teams."

Miley Cyrus' VMA performance breaks Twitter record
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus' controversial performance at the MTV Video Music Awards is now the most-tweeted moment of the year.
Twitter announced on Monday that Miley and her provocative dancing with singer Robin Thicke set a record on the social networking site, garnering 306,000 tweets per minute. Four-point-five million tweets about Miley went out during the award show's two-hour airtime.
The performance beat out the previous record holder, Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show, which brought in 231,000 tweets per minute in February.
Miley may have went home without a moonman, but she's proving she played a part in the network's ratings boost. Last year, the entire VMA ceremony saw a total of 96,000 tweets per minute. That pales in comparison to the 306,000 that came in from Miley's appearance alone on the show this year.
Smilers! My VMA performance had 306.000 tweets per minute. That's more than the blackout or Superbowl! #fact.— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) August 26, 2013
The singer tweeted about her social media record, but remained silent about what many had to say about her onstage antics.

Contradicting polling, Dobbs claimed "illegal immigration" is among "the top three issues for American voters in both political parties"
Lou Dobbs claimed on his radio show that "illegal immigration" is among "the top three issues for American voters in both political parties." In fact, no recent polls support Dobbs' assertion that "voters in both political parties" consider illegal immigration "one of the top three issues," although some polls indicate that immigration is among the top issues for Republican voters.
On the March 10 edition of his radio program, The Lou Dobbs Show [1], Lou Dobbs claimed that the issue of "illegal immigration," which he grouped together with "border security" and "port security," is among "the top three issues for American voters in both political parties." In fact, while some recent polls have indicated that immigration is one of the top three issues for Republican voters, no recent polls support Dobbs' assertion that illegal immigration is among the "top three" issues for Democratic voters or for voters as a whole. Dobbs also alleged that "you wouldn't know" that illegal immigration was such an important issue from "listening to Senator [Barack] Obama, Senator [John] McCain, or Senator [Hillary] Clinton right now." However, both Clinton and Obama have stressed the importance of the immigration issue in recent months.
Six different polls conducted since January asked respondents to name the issues most important to them, and not one indicated that illegal immigration was in the top three among voters as a whole:
- In a New York Times/CBS News poll [2] conducted February 20-24, 4 percent of respondents cited "immigration" as the most important problem facing the country today. The most frequently cited issues of concern were the "economy" (29 percent) and "war" (15 percent). Respondents named four other issues ("health care," "Iraq," "terrorism general," and "other") as more important than illegal immigration.
- A DIAGEO/The Hotline poll [3] conducted February 14-17 also found that 4 percent of respondents cited "immigration/illegal aliens" as "the most important issue facing the US today." The top three issues were the "economy in general" (39 percent), "war in Iraq -- oppose" (7 percent), and "fear of war/feelings of fear in this country" (6 percent).
- In a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll [4] conducted January 30-31, 7 percent of respondents cited "immigration" as the most important issue in deciding their vote for president. The top issues were the "economy and jobs" (30 percent), "war in Iraq" (23 percent), and "terrorism and national security" (10 percent).
- In an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll [5] conducted January 20-22, 10 percent of respondents indicated that "illegal immigration" should be the federal government's top priority. "Job creation and economic growth" (26 percent), "the war in Iraq" (17 percent), and "health care" (17 percent) were the top three issues.
- In a CNN/Opinion Research poll [6] conducted January 14-17, 31 percent of respondents said that "illegal immigration" would be an "extremely important" issue to their vote for president. The three top issues were "the economy" (45 percent), the "situation in Iraq" (43 percent), and "terrorism" (42 percent). "Health care," "gas prices," and "the situation in Iran" also were cited more frequently than illegal immigration as "extremely important."
- In an ABC News/Washington Post poll [7] conducted January 9-12, 4 percent of respondents cited "immigration/illegal immigration" as "the single most important issue" in their choice for president. The three most important issues were the "economy/jobs" (29 percent), "Iraq/war in Iraq" (20 percent), and "health care" (10 percent).
The following recent polls have indicated that Republican voters place immigration among the top three most important issues (or tied for third), but Democratic voters do not: the February 14-17 DIAGEO/The Hotline poll [3], the January 30-31 Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll [8], and a Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll [9] conducted January 18-22. A CBS News/New York Times poll [10] conducted January 9-12 found that immigration was the third-most important issue for Republican respondents; the poll did not ask Democratic voters to express their view on the topic.
Moreover, both Clinton and Obama recently stressed their support for comprehensive immigration reform during the Democratic presidential debate [11] in Austin, Texas, on February 21.
From the March 10 edition of United Stations Radio Networks' The Lou Dobbs Show:
DOBBS: One of the issues of this presidential election campaign year, of course, is illegal immigration, border security, port security. Now, you wouldn't know that listening to Senator Obama, Senator McCain, or Senator Clinton right now, or, for that matter, Ralph Nader, the independent candidate. But the reality is that it is one of the top three issues for American voters in both political parties. And there are all sorts of writers on the left -- I will just describe them that way -- left-wing, not necessarily radical, but including radicals, but left-wing, liberal Democrats, and on the right, right-wing, conservative bloggers of all sorts, aligned with, of all people, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- the business roundtable.
And they're trying to suggest that you forget about the issue of illegal immigration, suggest you forget about the issue of border security, port security, you know, the war on drugs, the fact that most -- nearly all -- methamphetamines, most marijuana, most cocaine, most of the heroin entering this country originates in Mexico. They wouldn't want you to think about that when we talk about border security. They wouldn't want you to think about the fact that right now the illegal immigrant population in this country is at its highest level ever. In fact, one in 25 residents now living in the United States is here illegally.

Behold the awesome snackiness of my Vegan Cuts Snack Box, of which I was the fortunate recipient for review. The Snack Box is available as a monthly subscription ($19.95 in the USA, $27.95 in Canada, shipping included) from the good folks at Vegan Cuts—a fab company that offers many more innovative cruelty-free products for sale, from food to clothing, make-up and accessories.
If you subscribe to a Snack Box, each month you will be presented with a selection of 7-10 vegan snacks and samples, often gluten-free, from an array of well chosen cruelty-free companies. My Snack Box consisted of the following treats:
- Meow Meow Tweets Moisturizing Lip Balm, which glides on smooth, without any sticky, waxy residue. Mine was cocoa flavoured. Im a devoted lip balm fan. Very nice.
- Oloves, deli-style, snackable olives with only 50 calories per bag and no preservatives. I enjoyed my package of Lemony Lover Oloves at the airport during a recent trip and they were the perfect snack on the go, as well as a welcome departure from the regular snacking carb-fest.
- Milas Foods Savoury Bruschetta Blend. I made bruschetta of course, enjoying mine on a thick slab of crusty sourdough bread. Delicious.
- 22 Days Protein Powder, which is non-GMO, organic, dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free, and perfect for a quick breakfast when youre short on time and great for traveling. Mine was chocolate. Good stuff.
- Food Should Taste Good Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips, a delicious baked twist on sweet potato chips. They were gone in a flash. I felt like I was enjoying chips without being bad.
- Teeccino, herbal coffee in a tea bag. Awesome idea, no? Full-bodied and robust. Im a big Teeccino fan. Love them.
- Skinny Pop, guilt-free, incredibly tasty all natural, fibre-rich popcorn with zero trans fat. I saved mine for the plane and savoured every last bite.
- Chicago Vegan Foods Teese, a stretchable, meltable line of non-dairy cheeses free from GMOs, soy, gluten, and palm oil. I received the nacho cheese sauce, which is the best Teese Ive tried yet. These are the same folks behind Dandies vegan marshmallows. Love them.
- Beyond Meat coupons, thanks—Ill be on the lookout for some! So curious.
- Parmela Parmesan Style Aged Nut Cheese. The perfect way to top off to a steaming bowl of pasta, and I did. Excellent. Seriously though—how do they do that? Its so much like Parmesan I did a double-take.
If you like tasty snacks, trying new products and getting packages in the mail, this sweet setup is right up your alley. Very fun. Many of the companies I received samples from werent even on my vegan radar, so discovering them was awesome. A big thank you to the generous folks at Vegan Cuts for sending me a Snack Box of my very own to try out.
Highly recommended. Check them out and get snackified. Enjoy.

There's (mostly) good news about Thursday's Real Salt Lake-Seattle Sounders playoff game.
It will be on live TV after all. The NBC Sports Network will carry the match at 8 p.m. MT - a half hour later than originally scheduled.
That's great news for anybody who doesn't have a ticket.
The only caveat is that, once again, NBCSN will pick up Seattle's telecast of the game. Which means that, once again, the godawful Ross Fletcher will be doing the play by play.
Note to Seattle: Just because someone has a British accent does not make him a good soccer sportscaster.
Note to NBC: Same goes for Arlo White, the godawful announcer you hired away from the Sounders this season.
I'd suggest a drinking game in which you take a shot every time Fletcher says something utterly meaningless, but you'd be passed out on your couch long before halftime.
Ah, well. At least the game will be on TV.
And there will be no replay on KUCW-Ch. 30. It's unnecessary at this point.
By the way, the fact that RSL and Seattle tied 0-0 in the first leg of their playoff series means that whoever wins on Thursday wins the series and moves on to face the winner of the Los Angeles-San Jose series.
The way things are going for RSL and the Sounders, one goal might do it.

Château de Pez is located west of the town of Saint-Estèphe. The estate consists of 74 contiguous acres, with 54 acres under vine. The vineyard is situated on a high plateau with well-exposed slopes. From a summit of 59 ft. the land descends northward to 39 ft.
Château de Pez remains resolutely faithful to wood. The blend is composed in December and the wine is stored in barrels where it is racked every three months. After approximately one year, roughly midway through the maturation process, the wine is fined using fresh egg whites. The wine is matured in small oak casks with 40% new oak, 30% "Premier vin", 30% "Deuxième vin". It should be noted that the wine undergoes absolutely no filtration. View all Chateau de Pez Wines
About St. EstepheView a map of St. Estephe wineries (saint ess-TEFF)
St.-Estèphe is the northernmost of the 4 communes hugging the Dordogne river in the Northern Haut-Médoc area of Bordeaux. While the appellation has no premier crus (first growths) of its own, it's southernmost chateau, Cos d'Estournel, is a highly acclaimed second growth, geographically separated from the famed Lafite-Rothschild in Pauillac by only a stream. Many believe Cos d'Estournel consistently produces wine of a first growth level.
Notable FactsWine from St-Estèphe typically matures more slowly than its southern counterparts. The soil is heavy and rich with clay, leading to wines with firm, muscular tannins and high acidity. Dark and opaque in color, the wines can be a bit austere in their youth, though most get softer as they age. Cabernet Sauvignon is the primary grape in most of the region's blends, although Merlot is important in helping to soften the wines. In volume, St-Estèphe creates the most wines of the top four Haut-Médoc communes. There are quite a few Cru Bourgeois properties, which are more approachable when young and, even better, lower in price. To get a feel for St-Estèphe, look for Cru Bourgeois like Chateau Haut-Beauséjour.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Michael Buble Defends Reese Witherspoon Post-Arrest
Listen to Michael Buble on iHeartRadio
Michael Buble has some words of encouragement for actress Reese Witherspoon, who appears on the singer's new album - and was also recently arrested for disorderly conduct.
As Buble's "To Be Loved" scores the number one spot on the Billboard 200 this week, Reese is dealing with the embarrassment of her drunken confrontation with police last month.
Buble tells "ET Canada" that Reese has made the best of a bad situation. The singer says that in her handling of the incident, she's only reaffirmed to her fans that she's "a kind, humble, down-to-earth, real girl." Buble adds that he hopes that he would show as much "graciousness" and "class" if he ever makes a similar mistake.
Buble enlisted Witherspoon to duet with him on a cover of Frank and Nancy Sinatra's "Something Stupid" for the album, as he was a fan of her Oscar-winner portrayal of June Carter in "Walk The Line."

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
Here's an article from a year ago of a doctor throwing the BS flag on the deer antler spray: http://thesportdigest.com/2011/02/do...-deer-antlers/.
Basically, yes IGF-1 is a banned substance and yes the deer antler velvet contains IGF-1, but the amount is so minuscule that you would need to take millions of doses to have an effect - your body would naturally create a variance in this hormone greater than what would be show up from this spray. This would explain why several athletes who have admitted to taking the spray haven't failed any tests.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
The Sun just posted an article essentially saying that IGF-1 is not stable enough to be maintained in a deer antler spray without being freeze dried. Therefore, whether Ray knew it or not, it was highly unlikely that he took a banned substance even if he took the deer antler spray.
The article also points out that the NFL does no blood testing -- which is how a positive IGF-1 result would be found. The NFL only tests urine.
Again, this makes me mad that we now have to spend Super Bowl week talking about a story that might have neither legs nor smoke. Thanks again, SI.
Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
I like the deer atler plaid. I wanted the wooley Mammoth hair but it is in such short supply.
But, I must say, there's nothing like bringing in a herd of Scottish deer...
Re: Thanks, media
Wait, so now it turns out that the amount of banned substance isn't even enough to be traceable?

Re: Thanks, media
So now we are mad at the media for doing their job?
Where was this disdain when PFT was running stories ad nauseum about Ben raping someone?
You can't ask for the media to be more involved then get mad at the outcome. There isn't a media outlet on the planet that would have ignored this story, given the controversy surrounding PED's in pro sports.

Re: Thanks, media
12 years ago during Superbowl week, the media united us even more than we already were.
We had a MLB who was grilled about an incident that they knew nothing about.
We had a QB who was thought to be our biggest weakness on a defensive minded team.
We had a rookie running back who was stealing the spotlight from the veteran.
We had a string of improbable victoriesm keyed by a divisional round win against the top seed in the AFC where special teams played a huge role.
A hall of fame safety Who was probably as big a leader as the MLB.
And a TE who made huge plays in the playoffs to put us in this position.
Kinda feels like de ja vu to me.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
Around the Horn guys are speaking on it as its fact, and ripping Ray for not answering questiongs. Kevin Blackinstone was very upset, and said he should not be allowed to work at ESPN becuase he wouldnt answer questions today at he podium. And to the testing.. I was hearing earlier about the blood test, and they dont do blood tests, and they would need a baseline first, to even do an accurate test. But SalPal reported earlier that the NFLPA said the NFL DOES test for the substance that makes reighndeer fly..er...makes you heel faster.
Re: Thanks, media
I am mad that they ran a story, what seems to be prematurely. And to top it off, what the company claims they gave him, we don't know if he took, and if he took it, it is such a small amount it would have little to no affect.
And to top it off, they're reporting it as they do everything - to hype it up and lead people to believe this is the next BALCO scandal and Ray is Barry Bonds, Mark Mcguire and Jose Canseco combined.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

Are Injured Veterans Worth The Risk In Fantasy Baseball?Everyone likes to grab the hot rookies in fantasy baseball, but the truth is, only a few of them really stay productive over the course of the full season.

HRTV's opening week of five exciting shows from Aachen features the Marathon Driving Event CAIO, where teams of four horses and three drivers exhibit deft precision and communication in maneuvering through numerous complex obstacles.
In the weeks ahead, shows from Aachen will include Eventing, the Aachen Grand Prix Dressage Freestyle, the Rolex Cup headlining the Aachen Prize of Europe Jumping CSIO, and the Aachen Grand Prix of Jumping.
The opening show from the outstanding international festival in Aachen provides a seamless follow-up to the recent well-received webcasts -- via www.tvg2.com <http://www.tvg2.com/> -- of the prestigious HITS Pfizer $1 million from Saugerties, NY this past weekend, as well as the acclaimed Hampton Classic from Bridgehampton on Long Island, NY over Labor Day weekend.
