In Act 1.1 of Romeo and Juliet, what is the cause of Romeo's behavior and why is he unhappy?
- print Print
- list Cite
2 Answers
Romeo, who has become a prototype of the Romantic, emotional and melancholy lover, bemoans his being "out of favor while I am in love" (I,i, 90). The object of his love has "forsworn to love" and rejected him. Romeo's speech introduces the theme of opposites:
She [Rosaline] is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair,/To merit bliss by making me despair:/She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow/Do I live dead that live to tell it now. (I,i,187-190).
That he "was not at this fray" as Lady Montague mentions when she asks Benvolio about her son indicates Romeo's "in love with love" personality.
i think is attitude is unhappy because he is falling for juleit and he knows they are to way different people all along....

The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe
Sarah Churchwell, Metropolitan Books, $26
All biographers who are honest with themselves and their readers concede the iffy nature of the enterprise. Much of the time, we barely understand our parents, our siblings, our children, our lovers, our work colleagues. So how can we pretend to write the ''definitive life'' of somebody we hardly know and in many instances have never met?
The iffiness of the enterprise is especially obvious when multiple biographies exist of the same person. During her 36 years on Earth (1926-1962), Marilyn Monroe elicited just about every reaction imaginable from women and men who style themselves as chroniclers of someone else's personal truth.
Before reading Sarah Churchwell's The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe (Metropolitan Books, $26), I had read four of the 60 or so other Monroe biographies. Still, I had failed to fully grasp the scandalous divergences of Monroe's biographers until Churchwell accomplished the mammoth task of reading just about every English-language book written about the celebrity and then shared her findings in this endlessly fascinating, disturbing account.
Churchwell is a graduate of Vassar College and Princeton University who lives in London and teaches at the University of East Anglia. The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe is her first book. Given her brilliance as a cultural critic, it should not be her last. Only a few facts are agreed upon by Monroe's biographers: the identity of her mother, birth and death dates, the movies she appeared in, the marriages to astoundingly divergent celebrities Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller.
The differences among her biographers include the identity of Monroe's father, how long she lived in an orphanage, whether she underwent lots of abortions or none, how many times she married, whether she was brainy or vapid, whether she was sane or insane, whether she was the illicit lover of President John F. Kennedy and/or his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy, and - most famously - the manner of her death.
Did she commit suicide? Did she die of natural causes? Did President Kennedy and/or Attorney General Robert Kennedy order her assassinated?
Here is one passage, of hundreds, from Churchwell's narrative, demonstrating the differences among Monroe biographers:
''Two new biographies appeared together in 1998, Barbara Leaming's Marilyn Monroe, which insisted that Monroe deliberately committed suicide, and Donald H. Wolfe's The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe, which argued that she was assassinated. . . . Not just agnostic toward the stories of cover-up, Leaming omits them, eschewing any mention of some of the most controversial of the stories.''
Wolfe, on the other hand, errs in the opposite direction, Churchwell shows: ''Since she couldn't have wanted to die deliberately (based on evidence of a new contract with Fox Studios), apparently there is only one other possible cause of death - Robert Kennedy had her injected with enough pentobarbital to kill a horse. There isn't a conspiracy theory that Wolfe doesn't endorse; if someone said it, that seems to be proof enough.''
The scandal permeating Churchwell's study is that most Monroe biographers knew - or ought to have known - they were publishing falsehoods as facts. Churchwell explains another phenomenon, too: The life of the biographer affects how the life of the subject is presented.
''Marilyn stands as a prime example of the seductions of biography, the temptation to substitute belief for knowledge, prejudice for thinking,'' Churchwell comments.

In designing an object an engineer must choose the proper material. Never is this more important than in the "black box" flight data recorder.
Transcript If an airplane goes down, its the infamous black box that gives us information about the plane's speed and altitude before the crash. So, how do you make something that can record all that information, but still withstand impact 3000 times the force of gravity, and temperatures of up to 1000 degrees celsius?
Well, the answer isn't this flimsy outer casing, but instead it's this framework and especially the magazine held inside. This is made from steel, see here the delta airlines logo - I bought this on ebay for about 100 bucks.
The magazine shows the key component that allows the black box to record information so consistently and durably: Inconel steel. This metallic foil records flight parameters. They're engraved, or scratched on to this inconel sheet. In fact the real name for this device is a "foil oscillographic recorder."
Now tucked away in the black box we see instruments that measure altitude and airspeed.. they're right here.
Two other instruments are even tucked away in the black box they measure magnetic heading and vertical acceleration. Now look through the front and you can see a small arm attached to each instrument.
A very tough piece of metal on the tip cuts the gauge's readings into the roll of metal in the magazine. This system of gears move the foil at six inches per hour - a spool is two hundred feet long, meaning it can record 400 hours of footage, as you can see here on this gauge.
The key to making the black box work is the inconel metal used in the magazine. Typically used in furnaces, it is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, and when it is heated to high enough temperatures, it forms an oxide layer that protects the surface from further attack.
Now, today's Black Boxes are typically solid state, and, of course, digital, but, you know I still love these old flight data recorders - the show the ingenuity of the engineers in using inconel steel in the magazine, one of the few substances that could do the job. I'm Bill Hammack, the engineer guy.

text: Coming out of the temple the first noticeable feature is a stone tortoise, plated with a brass sheet. Its diameter is twenty-eight feet. This tortoise is used as a 'rangashila', a platform from which kirtans, singing or dance concerts in honour of the god are performed. Next to it, opposite the temple is a small cell formerly used for performing the rite of 'Bagad' Behind it and also facing the deity is a giant image of the demon Mani. It is carved in stone and is nine feet in height. On either side of these are tall dipmalas with elaborately carved brackets. There are certain other gods resident in the same prakara. There is a Mahadev known as Panchalingeshvar, a small temple of Tuljabhavani, a Ganesh shrine and so on. Very few of them seem to have either any iconographical or legendary connection with the chief object of worship at the kshetra. Having finished the darshan and a round of the shrine one can go round to the Karhe-Pathar. For this he has to get out of the enclosure through the western gate The path descends down for some time and then it enters' into a zigzag and up and down pattern thatmakes the journey to and fro rather tiresome. Karhe-Pathar has also a direct approach from the village. Instead of going to the town one has to walk down some one-and -a-half miles towards the west. From this point a small foot-track leads the way up to the Karhe-Pathar temple. This track is partially made of steps, partially of plain walk. The ascent to the temple takes about half-an-hour. The route from the Gad kot to Karhe-Pathar has also a number of archways over it. Half way up, a spot is shown known as 'ghodeuddan', the place from where the horse of Khandoba jumped to reach the Gad-kot.

I am 5"0 weigh 115 and recently got a consultation and was recommended to go 550 cc's high profile. I had 2 children and my breasts are not perky anymore. Any suggestions? I am currently a 34C. I don't want a porn star look or a lift.
550 Cc's High Profile for 5"0 Too Big? Porn Star Look?
Doctor Answers 12
Implant Selection Process
Thank you for your question. To give you an accurate answer, an in office exam would be necessary to measure your chest wall and breast mound. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
Dr. Gill
Are implants the right size
A large implant is not a substitute for a lift which you may need but it is difficult to recommend based on your description. Try sizers on for a day and get a feel for the volume.
Learn more: http://www.bodysculptor.com/
Breast implant size on a small frame
Your breast implant size should complement your overall frame and hopefully bring better proportion to your physique. If you are 5 ft and 115 lbs, I feel that a 550cc implant may be too large for your body. This is difficult to answer however without seeing photos. There are studies which show that women with larger implants (like 550cc) tend to have more complications in the future due to the excess weight of the implants and due to thinning out of their natural breast tissue.
I prefer to use 3D imaging to demonstrate to a patient what they may look like with a specific size implant. I find this to be very useful for the patient to preview what they may look like before surgery.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruno

Large implants in a short patient
While there is no accounting for taste I personally think that is much too large an implant for someone your height. Large implants will make you look older and heavier. I doubt that is the look you are going for!
I have my patients try on gel sizers while wearing a surgical bra and a close fitting top. This is done at the initial consultation.They have found this to be very helpful in selecting a size that is appropriate. Patients are generally much happier with the final size result if they have the opportunity to participate in the decision process. I will typically use a high profile gel implant in patients desiring a relatively larger volume.
Ask your surgeon to try them to see the implants and try them in different outfits to give you idea of how they may look.
I would advice you to really care carefully about the sizes and shapes of your implants and it is possible to ask your surgeon to try them to see the implants and try them in different outfits to give you idea of how they may look.
Your surgeon will also recommend discussing in detail why you're surgeon recommended this size of implants and researching it more on the internet about the results that can be achieved with this approach.
Breast implants
The key to your question is to have a consultation. Without seeing you it is difficult to say what would be best. 550 cc implants are pretty large.

550 Cc's High Profile for 5"0 Too Big
Only if you want a full D cup are the size of 550 cc's OK. You did not specify the size you want, so I'm assuming you want a large breast??? From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091
Hard To Know Correct Implant Size Without Examination
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to judge what the appropriate implant size is for someonewithout seeing them and doing a full examination. Based on your height/weight, 550ccsounds on the larger side, but it all depends on your frame, breast tissue, desired size, etc. If you have any doubts, then meet with your surgeon again or go for another consulttaion and see what another opinion is.
The 550 cc high profile implant
The implant you have chosen, the high profile 550 cc gel is a very full and round, rather projecting implant. The 'average' implant is about 350 cc. The implant could be just what you are looking for, though we suggest you take the time to be sure.
Best of luck,
Learn more: http://www.peterejohnsonmd.com
Too big?
You cannot go just by size to answer your question. In general, I would think that 550 high-profile implants are at the higher end of the scale, especially for your petite size. There is actually a lot that goes into choosing the appropriate implants to match your natural anatomy, your desires in size and shape, and your tolerance for risk and side effects.

Poor start dooms Bees in loss at Tucson
Salt Lake scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning, but the Bees' rally fell short in a seven-inning, 9-6 loss at the Tucson Padres in minor league baseball Sunday night.
Tucson (56-52) scored five runs in the second inning and two more in the third for a 7-2 lead. Bees pitcher Dustin Richardson was chased after allowing seven runs on seven hits in three innings.
Luke Carlin and Matt Long each went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI for the Bees (61-47). Salt Lake had won seven straight games before Sunday night's loss. The Bees continue their road series at Tucson on Monday before returning home to face Iowa on Tuesday.

MATTHEW Laverack's response to our debate on the Living Wage once again fails to address the issues at hand, and in particular: Despite protracted requests, he has not provided any supporting evidence or research that the introduction of a minimum wage (and thereby a living wage) is linked to increases in youth or other unemployment– and similarly fails to acknowledge the established benefits to employers of a happier and more settled workforce.
Secondly, for someone that often requests direct responses in his correspondence, he fails to clarify whether he thinks large multinational supermarkets should pay a living wage (although his latest letter of August 13 suggests not, despite paradoxically being understandably proud of being a Living Wage employer himself).
For the record, I reiterate that I have respect for any entrepreneurial spirit and that risk and hard work should be fairly rewarded.
That said, I also do believe in social justice and that a living wage is an intrinsic part of any equitable system. If that opens me up to ridicule, so be it but Mr Laverack will not persuade me (or many other businesses) that the rewards of entrepreneurship are necessarily mutually exclusive with fair pay.

If successfully prosecuted, it could usher a series of indictments against spammers with operations in Virginia, the epicenter of Internet traffic and home to the country's toughest anti-spam law, legal experts say.
He said the suspects used false identities to evade AOL's spam filters.
``When you masquerade your identity, that's when you have a problem,'' McGuire said.
Defense lawyers countered that sending spam is not illegal under Virginia law unless prosecutors can prove that the defendants intentionally masked its origin and can prove that the junk e-mail was unsolicited. They said prosecutors will be unable to meet that burden.
``Marketing via the Internet is not a crime,'' said Thomas Mulrine, attorney for defendant Jessica DeGroot. ``It may be annoying to you, but it's not a crime to market on the Internet.''
Jeremy Jaynes, Richard Rutowski and Jessica DeGroot are accused of pumping thousands of spam e-mails through false return e-mail addresses and false Internet routing information last year.
Jaynes, once rated one of the top 10 spammers by watchdog group Spamhaus Project, worked with his sister, DeGroot, and an accomplice, Rutowski, the criminal complaint alleges.
All three face up to 15 years in jail and fines of up to $10,000.
All three have pleaded not guilty.
David Deane, an attorney representing Jaynes, said the North Carolina resident was "acting within the law" and will be exonerated.
DeGroot's attorney, Tom Mulrine, says she is an employee of Jaynes' legitimate Internet marketing company.
Fourteen jurors were selected Monday.
Virginia officials are pressing their case because several Internet service providers, including No. 1 America Online, have e-mail servers in the state. About 80% of Internet traffic flows through Virginia.
AOL assisted in the investigation. Indictments were announced at AOL's headquarters in Virginia last year.
"If you send spam by fraudulent means through Virginia — whether you live here or not — you will be prosecuted," says Lisa Hicks-Thomas, senior assistant attorney general for Virginia. She says the state has indicted two people in another case, involving an operation in Texas.
The case is expected to deter some marketers from clogging computer in-boxes with billions of illegally sent e-mail messages, and offers a litmus test for Virginia's tough anti-spam law.
The federal law, which started Jan. 1, does not apply to the case and is considered watered down.
Virginia's anti-spam law is one of the nation's toughest, legal experts say. It prohibits falsifying information to mask a bulk mailer's identity. A violation becomes a felony if the volume of spam exceeds 10,000 messages in 24 hours, 100,000 in 30 days or 1 million in a year.
The federal Can-Spam law bars individuals and companies from disguising their identities and collecting e-mail addresses from the Web. Commercial messages must include opt-out options. It imposes fines of $250 per e-mail and includes a provision that lets states, such as Virginia, also pursue criminal charges against spammers.

OFFICE fit out business Chameleon Business Interiors has merged with warehousing specialist iGSG Group.
The new company, called ISIS Commercial Environments, will have a combined turnover of more than £5 million and a 17-strong workforce.
Shaun Watts, managing director of Chameleon Business Interiors, which has an office in York, said the two companies have worked together closely for a number of years.
He said the merger would simplify the procurement process for customers investing in both offices and industrial premises, allowing them to target the whole market with a single offering.
He said: "We have got to know each other's business very well and recognise there is a lot of synergy in terms of business and opportunities.
"It made perfect sense to have one offering so whatever the type of commercial property, there is an element of the business that can service it.
"Our clients will now be dealing with a company that has a great reputation across the country in both sectors – offices and warehouses.
"It also opens up our opportunities and creates a genuine turn-key package for all our clients."
Iain Gillard, managing director of iGSG, said: "Merging brings clear advantages to both businesses and ultimately creates a company with a significantly enhanced service and product portfolio."
The company will begin trading as ISIS Commercial Environments from March 1 and the main functions of the business will remain in Hull, with offices in Leeds and York.

Slot-waveguides allow light to be guided and strongly confined inside a nanometer-scale region of low refractive index. Thus stronger light-analyte interaction can be obtained as compared to that achievable by a conventional waveguide, in which the propagating beam is confined to the high-refractive-index core of the waveguide. In addition, slot-waveguides can be fabricated by employing CMOS compatible materials and technology, enabling miniaturization, integration with electronic, photonic and fluidic components in a chip, and mass production. These advantages have made the use of slot-waveguides for highly sensitive biochemical optical integrated sensors an emerging field. In this paper, recent achievements in slot-waveguide based biochemical sensing will be reviewed. These include slot-waveguide ring resonator based refractometric label-free biosensors, label-based optical sensing, and nano-opto-mechanical sensors.
Optical sensors are remarkable tools for analyte detection in biochemical, health and environmental applications. The use of photons for sensing makes possible multi-dimension (intensity, wavelength, phase, and polarization) and remote interrogation, immunity to electromagnetic interferences, multiplexed detection, and availability of well-established technologies from communication industries: e.g. lasers of almost any wavelength, detector arrays, micro-/nano-machining, waveguides, and high speed links. In addition, optical frequencies coincide with a wide rage of physical properties of bio-related materials in nature.
Optical biosensing can be carried out by using two different detection strategies [
Both labeling-based and label-free sensing schemes can be implemented by using integrated optical devices based on planar waveguides. These possess important advantages as compared to bulk optic elements and fiber optic based biochemical sensors. Planar technology facilitates fabrication by using standard lithographic techniques, allowing mass production (low cost) and integration of arrays of compact devices on a single-chip for the simultaneous detection of several analytes. In addition, mature Si-based materials and processes—CMOS technology—can be employed, which adds the capabilities of sensor integration with electronics on the same chip and sensor miniaturization due to the high refractive-index-contrast available in Si-based CMOS-compatible materials [
Conventional strip and rib waveguides are commonly used in biochemical sensors based on integrated optics. In these waveguides, the guiding mechanism is based on total internal reflection (TIR) in a high-index material (core) surrounded by a low-index material (cladding); the TIR mechanism can strongly confine light in the high-index material. On the other hand, there are also planar waveguides non-based on TIR, such as hollow-core waveguides [
A novel guided-wave configuration, known as a slot-waveguide, was introduced by Almeida
In this paper, recent progress in slot-waveguide based biochemical sensors is reviewed. In Section 2 label-free refractometric biochemical sensors are presented and discussed, with emphasis on slot-waveguide microring resonators. Section 3 deals with labeling-based optical biosensing configurations. In Section 4, opto-mechanical transducers based on slot-waveguides for biochemical sensing are overviewed. Finally, conclusions are collected in Section 5.
Refractive index (RI) sensors based on planar waveguides play a prominent role in chemical and biochemical analysis [
Guided-wave planar optical RI sensors are commonly implemented by means of interferometric configurations such as directional couplers [
The first experimental demonstration of a slot-waveguide based biochemical sensor was achieved by Barrios
Homogeneous sensing was studied by depositing drops of liquids (water-ethanol solutions) with varying refractive indexes (concentrations) over the ring and monitoring the corresponding red-shift of a ring resonance wavelength. The resulting bulk RI sensitivity was measured to be SB = Δλr/ΔnB = 212 nm/RIU (see
Device surface sensitivity was characterized by studying the adhesion of biomolecules to the Si3N4 slot-waveguide ring resonator [
Recently, similar surface sensing experiments have also demonstrated immobilization of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) molecules on a Si3N4 slot-waveguide ring sensor [
Another Si3N4 slot-waveguide microring resonator was also used to demonstrate optofluidic device-reconfigurability [
To date, the latest achievement in Si3N4 ring-resonator sensors has been the integration of a Si3N4 microring array with a PDMS microfluidic network on a Si single chip, enabling accurate multiplexed assays in labs-on-chip [
The use of high index-contrast material system, such as Si/SiO2, enables to reduce photonic-device dimensions and to increase the E-field enhancement at the slot/rails interfaces in slot-waveguides, that is, to increase the sensor sensitivity, as compared to moderate index-contrast material systems, such as Si3N4/SiO2. Dell'Olio
On the other hand, higher index-contrast also implies higher sensitivity to device-dimension deviations and surface roughness (optical scattering losses), and, in slot-waveguides, narrower slot widths (≤ 100 nm) than those required in Si3N4/SiO2. The latter issue makes difficult to introduce certain liquids inside the narrow slot region of Si/SiO2 slot-waveguides due to capillary and surface tension considerations. However, this drawback does not exist for gases, making Si/SiO2 slot-waveguides ideal structures for gas sensing on-chip. Robinson
Recently, Claes
Difficulty to fill narrow gaps in vertical slot-waveguides also ocurrs when the slot region is intended to be filled with a condensed low-index material (e.g. SiO2) by using common deposition techniques such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and low-pressure CVD.
In addition to microring resonators, other interferometric configurations, such as Mach-Zenhder interferometers, directional couplers, and Fabry-Perot cavities, could also work as highly sensitive transducers for RI label-free sensing. Both, passive directional couplers [
The minimum detectable refractive index change was calculated to be 10-5. Sensor design and optimization allowed a good trade-off between device length (L) and sensitivity. The estimated sensor limit-of-detection to glucose concentration change in an aqueous solution was of the order of 0.1 g/L.
In the optical configurations described so far, vertical slot-waveguides with a single slot-sensing region have been always used. However, the slot-waveguide principle can be extended to other geometries such as vertical multi-slot [
The evanescent field in planar waveguides can be employed in both optical absorption based sensors and fluorescence sensors. In the former, the presence of an absorbing label (e.g. a gold nanoparticle) within the penetration depth of the evanescent field induces an increase in the propagation loss of the guided mode. Such an increase can be related to the concentration of the target analyte. In fluorescence-based sensors, the evanescent field can be used to excite the fluorescent labels residing in the immediate region near the waveguide interface and to collect the fluorescence via back tunneling into trapped modes of the waveguide [
The evanescent field of waveguides extending into the surrounding liquid can also serve to trap and transport particles [
Micro-opto-electro-mechanical (MOEM) devices based on the principles of integrated optics and micromachining technology on Si have immense potential for sensor applications. For example, Zinoviev
The optical performance of a slot-waveguide is very sensitive to small variations of the slot distance because of the high E-field confinement. This property has been used to propose original sensing configurations based on slot-waveguides formed by movable elements. Barrios [
The air gap distance (tslot + d) can be increased up to 100 nm by replacing the bottom Si disk by a Si3N4 disk [
Other nano-opto-mechanical configurations based on slot-waveguides, such as those analyzed by Almeida
In this article, the emerging field of using slot-waveguides for highly sensitive biochemical sensing has been overviewed. Hitherto, fluid (both liquid and gas) RI detection, label-free and labeling-based biosensing, trapping and transport of nanoparticles (including biomolecules) and opto-mechanical transduction based biodetection have been either demonstrated or theoretically analyzed by using CMOS-compatible material systems: Si3N4/SiO2 and Si/SiO2. Moderate index-contrast Si3N4/SiO2 is less susceptible to device structural imperfections and allows wider slot-widths facilitating liquid and particle infiltration inside the slot region; high index-contrast Si/SiO2 provides higher E-field enhancement in the slot, and therefore higher biochemical sensitivity, and enables larger integration level. In all cases, the use of slot-waveguides has been proven to be advantageous over conventional waveguides in terms of sensitivity and potential use in applications requiring the fusion of nanophotonics and nanofluidics. Future work is expected to be focused on the optimization and experimental demonstration of some of the reviewed sensing configurations, extension to other material systems, and development of new sensor architectures based on slot-waveguides for lab-on-chip platforms.

Breathtaking and Beautiful Alaska!: Star Princess Cruise Review by PattiRA
Overall Member Rating
Breathtaking and Beautiful Alaska!
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
Negatives: our balcony neighbor had ALL his large family visiting with him at 4 a.m. to enjoy the sights-every day. I am supposing they paid for cheaper rooms and used his balcony for viewing. They talked very loudly and we lost sleep over their family chatter. Coffee was aweful & had to upgrade to buy something drinkable--leaving More out of Seattle this was hard to believe with Starbucks and Seattle's Best readily available.
We took side trips at each port and all were very good except one--in Ketchikan we went to a Wildlife Preserve and it was not worth the money we paid. The walk as supposed to be a mile and it wasn't 1/8th of a mile & a very unprofessional guide--she showed us bear "scat" and fungus on trees. Who really cares? The side trips for Alaska are higher $$$ than most cruises we have been on. Alaska was on both of our "kick the bucket" lists and enjoyed it greatly. Princess Cruise Line did an overall good job & helped us accomplish our goals; which was to view wildlife-humpback whales, lots of Eagles, mother Seals with their pups and more....would recommend the ship & trip! Less

Port and Shore Excursions
Mendenhall Glacier
It was an expensive tour of $200. per person!! It was whale watching & Mendenhall Glacier--we watched humpback whales doing "bubble feeding" and it was awesome. Many bald eagles too.
Whale Watching
Mendenhall Glacier was overpacked with tourists and we did no have a lot of time to really enjoy. There were so many buses for pick-up that I was panicking thinking I had missed ours. I spent more time trying to figuere out pick-up than enjoying the beautiful glacier. I tried to go into the visitor center and it was totally impossible.
Not worth it!! We walked about 1/8 mile with an overly talkative tour guide giving not much of information. She kept telling us that there was "bear skat" on the trail and fungus on the trees. Who really cares?? My husband kept hearing the zip-lines going overhead and asking why we were doing this. I complained to the cruise line & have never been on such a side trip.
City Tour
Great over view of Seattle-only 2 short stops. The tour guide was very entertaining and informative.
Once we did this, we were able to go back and stay longer at the those sights. Would highly recommend for first time visitors as ourselves.
White Pass Scenic Railway
Really enjoyed the train ride and the tour guides gave the history of how & why the railroad was built. Lots of great sights, too.

Find fulfilment in everything you do
So I left England in September 2009, and went to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.
I then went back to Sydney and worked from June 2010 to December 2010, before heading back to New Zealand for three months and then a couple of weeks in Indonesia before arriving home on 15 March 2011 - exactly 18 months to the day after I left.
Without a doubt the 18 months I was away for were the best of my life.
Football, music, films and the occassional drink
Anywhere I have travelled to, but the top three would be:
1) Yasawa Islands, Fiji
Amazing sunsets, amazing night skies, cocktails, Fiji bitter, hammocks, beaches, no roads, beautiful seas, great food, great people = paradise
2) Gili's Trawangan and Meno, Indonesia
Great beaches, great sunsets, beautiful seas, very cheap, amazing nightlife (Trawangan), idyllic beauty (Meno), no roads, lots of cats = paradise
3) Queenstown, New Zealand
Lots of bars, great vibe, beautiful scenery = great times
16 Sep 2009 - 15 Mar 2011

Lindsay Lohan's in a Bikini
My but I would like to pick those plums.
Whoa boobs.
You can dress up a tattooed ex-con in a nice lace outfit but it's still a tattooed ex-con.
I won't even start on all the other problems this chick has.
Stay out of trouble LiLo. If you stay out of any more trouble & your jugs don't drop any lower you may still have a semblance of a entertainment career.
Harsh. Life happens to people, stop pressuring people.
Wow, this was when Lindsey Lohan was likeable and lanetted until she morphed into a crack-whore. So sad to think what she could have been had she made the right choices and not let her innder-demons wreck her life.
She looks like crap when she's got a butt in her mouth. She should stop smoking.

At a weekend meeting of Westchester Democrats, Rep. Maxine Waters accused one of the region's most powerful congressmen of misleading her regarding his position on Los Angeles International Airport's modernization plans.
In the speech, recorded by one of the attendees, Waters claims that Rep. Henry Waxman, a fellow Democrat, promised her he would study the issues regarding LAX's proposed modernization before he decided which side to support. Waters is against a plan to move the airport's northernmost runway 260 feet closer to Westchester homes and businesses.
"I had a long conversation with Congressman Waxman about this on the House floor," Waters said in the speech. "And I asked him about this position on LAX because I thought I was hearing some rumors. He said to me, 'Yes, I have been approached but I haven't made up my mind.' I said I want it to be clear that there is strong opposition to the airport plan and I want you give it all the consideration that you need to, but I want you to be with me on this. And he said, 'I hear you.' "
Soon after that conversation, Waters claims that she heard from a third party that Waxman was aligned with a business and labor coalition supporting all LAX modernization plans. Waxman, she said, was circulating a letter of support for the project.
"Then the very next day I had an elected official come to me - and I wish I had gotten the letter - but she waived the letter, and she said Henry Waxman just asked me to sign on to LAX expansion," Waters said Saturday at the Westchester Democratic Club meeting. "I don't like that, and I don't have any respect for (him) for having done that. "
The LAX expansion plans, which also include less controversial projects like a people mover to shuttle passengers among terminals and consolidated rental car facility, are a long way from being ready for construction.
The Los Angeles City Council will next take up the issue. That process is expected to be contentious.

Africa gets extra slot, as Blatter restates confidence in host
AFRICA will present six teams at the 2010 World Cup and this is official. The world football governing body (FIFA) yesterday announced that South Africa's slot as host would not be part of Africa's five slots.
Also yesterday, FIFA brushed aside the avalanche of criticisms that has trailed the organisation of the World Cup in South Africa as the body restates confidence in the people and government of South Africa to host the world.
Of late, there have been calls that because of African teams' "poor" performances at last World Cup, they should not get an extra slot for the next edition. Also, some foreign journalists have called on FIFA to cancel the hosting rights granted South Africa and move the tourney outside Africa.
The body also announced that the World Cup would take place from June 11 to July 11. FIFA Executive Committee has also decided to keep the qualifying format of the last World Cup, so the host's place is guaranteed.
"We didn't change anything," said FIFA President, Sepp Blatter.
Blatter reiterated that FIFA had faith in South Africa, but added: "We have said that they should bring a little bit of fire to the preparations."
The decision to keep the same number of qualifying places will see five African teams plus South Africa secure a place in the tournament. In addition, there will be places for 13 European countries, five Asian and Oceania teams, and a total of eight for South America and the Central American regions.
The bidding process for the 2014 World Cup was also officially opened after the two-day meeting. This will be held in South America, with Brazil as favourite, after a decision in May 2002 to rotate the competition on a continental basis.

IBM Thinkpad T40/T41 Hard Disks and Recovery CDs
This is a bit subjective, but the Thinkpad T41 (with 40GB drive) looks to be a bit unreliable. Getting replacement disks looks to be a real pain in the neck. The good news is you don't (necessarily) need IBM though.
For the uninitiated, the IBM Thinkpad T40/T41 machines are really very nice indeed. They have loads of great features, and look to be pretty tough (certainly their predecessors like the T21 and especially the 600 range were good).
Previous models came shipped with a "recovery CD". This CD was (for all intents and purposes) a clone image of Windows that could be loaded onto the machine (thus losing all the data, but installing "factory fit" windows). The recovery image, or the initally shipped image of Windows wasn't bad - unfortunately only a single partition, but contains all the right drivers and toys to make the Thinkpad work. For business use, we tend to remove a few bits, and configure a few things differently, but all in all, it's pretty good (if you're just getting into this - you can almost certainly strip out vast quantities of stuff in the IBMTOOLS directory).
On the T40/T41, the recovery CD is gone. Instead, there's a hidden partition on the hard disk. It's completely inaccessible from the OS because it's enforced by the Bios. There's a Bios option that turns off this protection, so you can use the whole disk if you want (provided you don't mind losing the recovery image). If you do have it though, then you can just boot into it (via a Bios option) and rebuild your machine, losing the data, in about 20 minutes (and about 15 reboots). Again, pretty good.
This hidden partition is potentially an IBM stitch up. If your disk fails (as they seem to be doing frequently in our recently purchased batch of T41s), then you'd seemingly have to get IBM specific replacements (after all, no one else will put the recovery partition on the drive, right?).
If your Thinkpad is on warranty, then you can call IBM Service & Support and just get a new one sent to you (it takes a couple of days, but they'll also pick up the old one from you). However, having just taken delivery of a replacement, I found it doesn't have the recovery partition on it (despite specifically ordering the correct FRU part number). A few calls to Product Specialists reveals that replacement disks don't have the recovery partition on them. Service & Support have to send you a CD which puts that partition back on the disk.
If you look after a few T41s, you may be thinking about getting a spare drive to replace all the failed ones a little more rapidly than you could do using Service & Support alone. If you order the drive from IBM, it could take up to four weeks to be delivered (unless by some miracle they have stock). Alternatively, you could use an 'ordinary' drive from any supplier you like, probably delivered to you in a day or two, and simply apply the recovery image.
My advice for any T41 owners: If your hard disk fails, get a replacement from IBM but make sure to ask for the recovery CD that puts the hidden partition back (they may not ask you, and won't send it unless it's been explicitly requested). If you want it done a bit quicker than that, buy a drive from your favourite supplier and use that (along with the recovery CD). Since we use Ghost images we don't immediately need the recovery partition, so we can get moving quickly. We'll need those partitions back on the machines when we come to sell them on though, so it's worth thinking ahead.
recovery disk set copy.
can U please give me the price for recovery disk set copy.I can pay through Paypal. My postal code 60089 in USA.
cristoforo: I know that I am
I know that I am a few years late, but do you still have the recovery CDs for the T51?
I really need copies of software for my T41 please
Recovery Disks
I used the IBM recovery program to make 5 recovery disks plus the boot disk for a factory restore. When I run it after booting it asks for a password. I give it the admin password on the system which it rejects. It rejects all passwords from all users. I can log on normally. What is going on?
Wrong Password
I am facing the same problem. Recovery is asking for password which I don't have. And I have several but not succeeded. Have you solve the problem? Please email me the solution.
Thank you.
Re: Wrong Password
Have yall figured out the solution? I have the same problem. If you have fixed the problem can you email me. Appreciate it.

dear friend . I have large problem. my laptop shows pasword when i swicted on it which i does not know. it shows 00161 and00163 error on screen. if u have any solution for that. please help me. i shall wait for ur ans.
T41 and Rescue & Recovery vs. Rapid Restore
Greetings. Does anyone know if I can use Rescue & Recovery 4.0 on my T41? One tech at IBM said yes, another said no, and the documents are ambiguous too (only T43 and up is listed, but you can find other docs that make it sound like any compatibly system will do). I want to replace the Rapid Restore Ultra that shipped w/ my machine so I can back-up a restore point to an external drive . . . w/o using the 22 cds that RRU wants me to use (b/c it has no option to archive via a USB port) . . .
Non-IBM hard drives for the T41
I am thinking of buying a used T41 on eBay, but after reading up a bit on the T41, it seems that the factory-installed IBM 40GB hard drive is prone to fail (I once had a regular IBM PC hard drive fail on me about two and a half years after I bought the PC as new, which kindda shocked me - you don't expect things from IBM to fail (at least you didn't back then, before IBM was sold to the Chinese (no crippling insult meant to all you chinks out there, in ten years time the best PC technology in the world might just stem from Lenovo... don't forget the scene in "Back to the Future" where somebody made a disparaging remark about all things Japanese, and our hero, who knew better, corrected his mates from the past!!))). Does anybody have anything good to say about the Hitachi 60GB hard drive inside a T41?
No Worse Than Any Other...?
I used to look after about 20 T41/42s, some of which got treated pretty badly and some others used incredibly heavily. We did have a few disks fail here and there (all were 'graceful degredation' rather than complete failures). I wouldn't say they were any worse than any others, although perhaps a bad batch (40GB drives were pretty new back then). As with all such things, it depends how you treat it as much as anything else. If it's made it this far, it's probably not a duffer ;-) The T41 is generally a good machine, you could do worse.
i need master password for hitachi hard dirve
i have i have a ibm t41 thinkpad but i lost my hardisk password, my important document in hard disk. so i need a master password for this hard disk.
the hidden partition and recovery
As a newcomer to the T41, second hand on ebay, I think it lovely but could not understand why there was only 35 G on a 40G disk. Now I know that it is a recovery system. But not having the handbook, if I ever wished to recover things, what do I do??
I am thinking about cloning the hard drive using my Apricom software which always does a super job, and I guess that it would clone the hidden partition, but I think I will need a larger disc sooner or later, and I managed to clone the much smaller disk on a T20 I have.
But how does the recovery system work please?

Keep the old drive
>>I have a 80gb travelstar hdd for my t40 that has been recently replaced. I was able to keep the old drive and it actually wasn't the culprit of the warranty service and so I would like to now access my old data and use it as a backup drive. (By grant)
I am in the same situation, and wonder how I can keep the old drive. Has anyone ever been able to keep the old drive after receiving the replacement drive without being charged?
Stick it in a USB enclosure and you're all sorted. Enclosures (available almost anywhere) cost about £20 or less.
IBM Thinkpad T 20

When booted up it says that "hard disk drive not installed or OS not installed" , then i booted form a XP cd and started running the setup, I could see the hard drive. But when the installation is finished, when restarted its back to sqr 1.
can some one help me pls, thanks
HELP!! My screen shows "error loading operating system"
I have a IBM T40, when I turned it on, the screen only shows "error loading operating system" and wants me press any key to reboot it. I tried to reinstall it by using ACCESS buttom, but it doesn't work at all. Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Reinstall, maybe a new HDD
That error means the BIOS can't find an Operating System to load. That's possibly because the hard disk has failed, but the only way to be sure is to try to re-install the OS. Since the blue button isn't working, it looks to me like you're going to need a set of recovery CDs (if you want Windows) or else download Ubuntu Linux or something.

t40 new recovery cd's?
my t40 has so much buried junk on it that i was going to rebuild it. i tried the "recover to factory" option but it made a reference to windows 98 (is this thing THAT old?) and stopped. I found 3 of my 4 original recovery disks dated March of 2003. Since i may never find that 4th one, was wondering if ibm sells current versions that i can buy from them- which would have all the many enhancements and updates that are missing from the originals anyway.

Required Recovery CD for Thinkpad R50e after deleting service partition. TP out of warranty. Model 1834-2LG.
May just have to breakdown and go to Recovery-cds.com.
Got myself a stinkpad t21 (2647-csu) from a friend at work. got the harddrive to work after putting Dmitry's HDD Regenerator on it overnight...5 bad sectors recovered...then noticed that the Harddrive may have been put in upside dowm or at least wasn't fully put in the right way...should not have worked at all, I guess you figure...me too. Anyway, got the harddrive to CORRECTLY reportitself in the Bootup screen as hitachi-XXXXXXX, before it was [?????????] or something like that....Now just like you i am looking for the iso's to down load.
My guess is that everyone is looking on the net for the iso's...
Well. They appear to be at this one site that keeps popping up on google. recovery-cds DOT com.
Like maybe many of you posting on this site, I'm poor. and I am looking for a site (like Goodell's Dell restore and utility pages) for IBM stinkpads. Something to manually setup and fill in the parts for for an IBM with all IBM goodies.
aaaanyway maybe i'll have to go and get it at this site up there...i really do not want to pay anything...BUT I'll guess i have to...

T40 restoration failed
I purchased the 5 CD recovery CD set from IBM for my T40. Four are labeled 1 of 4, 2 of 4 etc. and the fifth is labeled 1 of 1.
I try to recover with the set of 4. (The 1 of 1 is a security update of some kind and doesn't seem to be a bootable CD.)
I get an "error 1828" ... something about 'size too small'
The DOS-like screens show files trying to load but a there isn't enough room. Finally, upon restart, the computer says operating system cannot be found.
Unable to create T42 Product recovery dis
I finally figured out how to create the CD set from my T42. However, it all runs fine until it wants to burn Product
Recovery Disc 5. Then it hangs at 13% and tells me that the file is corrupted. I renamed the file IBMRNRUS and its folder and started the creation process all over again. Same thing. Tried two different brands of CD-RW, Same thing. Its always at the same point in the burn of the last CD.
What worries me the most is that if I ever need to reinstall to factory load, there is something wrong with the hidden partition.
a) if there is some trick I should be trying (Machine is disconnected from net)?
b) I have a part number for the CD set but I cant tell if its the full set to do the install as from the factory or not. Anyone know?
c) So far I cannot find any way to contact to buy the set. Anyone have a contact phone?
Recovery CD's for thinkpad T20 & T30
Hey everyone....could really use some help here. I have a Thinkpad T20 & T30, got them from E-bay, great laptops, and my kid crashed both hard drives, so, I want to buy new hard drives, but I have no recovery CD's. There's a guy on E-bay selling a hard drive and a set of CD's for the T-30, but I don't know if the CD's would work for the T20, or, if anyone has a set for sale, I'd gladly by both. I'd even consider a 40 gig from someone's laptop that they were upgrading and didn't need if it still had the drivers and Windows XP on it. Not trying to do anything wrong, just would like my computers back without having to spend a small fortune. Any info would help! Thanks

I put a replacement hard drive in an IBM T40.
When I try to install XP pro, I get told there is no hard drive to install to.

Recovery Software for IBM Thinkpad T42p
Just fixed one for a customer, fortunately he had the windows xp professional sp0 :-( disk with it.
[it required a lot of updating]
I tried installing with xp corp SP2 but that wouldn't register with the label reg key.
Normally a generic (real) retail or oem xp pro or home disk will be ok on most computers (not sony or nec) though. If you can get pass the key installation screen, but pops up with invalid activation, you can phone the micro$oft reg guy and they will sort it over the phone.
In the end i cleared both partitions created a 40/20 split with partition magic on the 60GB Hard Disk clean installed xp with updates, then used Ghost 8 to image the primary partition over to a FILE on the secondary partition. You will have to download the Network card driver from ibm to get hooked up if you have the intel pro 1000 card, then use the ibm driver management software to do the rest.
The cause of the original problem was the 1GB Hynix memory chip, located under the keyboard, which was faulty. Memtest showed me that; after much head scratching.(I should have run memtest first)
Hope This helps

T43: Only to install OS =winXP from recovery cd´s
Hi guys, is it possible to ONLY install the windows Xp from recovery CD?
I got a fresh new HDD, and dont want to install all the drivers in the recovery cd´s, because they are out-dated..
And further is it possible to do this without lossing data on HDD.
please help!
Sorry, not really :-(
Sorry, what you're asking isn't really possible. The recovery CDs and recovery partitions basically wipe the system back to the way it was bought (so removes all data, and installs a bunch of drivers and software).
I see your problem with drivers - if you do use a recovery partition, it's probably a good idea to burn a CD with the latest Windows Service Pack on it. Then, do the recovery and immediately install the service pack before even thinking about putting it on the network.
If you really want to go back to vanilla Windows, then you're only option is to buy a Windows CD and install that. Personally, I wouldn't advise it - I'd use the recovery and then service pack it. Or better still, install Linux ;-)

Thinpad T41 hdd upgrade
I have TP T41 with 40GB drive and just recently bought 60 GB Hitachi Travelstar ATA-6 drive. I tried cloning with Northon Ghost with no success ("No operating system found" message). I just tried to even install fresh XP on it but my bios does not recognize the drive. It is recognized in windows but not in dos or bios. I tried Partition Magic 8, format through windows but nothing. I read on IBM website that this is compatible drive for upgrade (I believe ATA-6 is compatible).

Rescue and recovery failure
I had a hardisk failure on a T42. I bought a new (IDE) hardisk and ordered the Rescue and Recovery CDs from IBM.
I got the CDs, but when I try to restore the system to its original setting - restore factory contents -(following the instructions that came with the CDs).
The recovery process stops right after step 8. (accept the terms and conditions). In reality it starts to copy some files and then it stops and display the following message.
There was an error during initialization.
Therefore It does not even let me go further than the Startup disk of the rescue and recovery CD set.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Alex and Richard drop me an email to jtfeelfree at gmail.com happy to help, basicly going to confirm monday 9am but I had this set and I never got rid of the orginal so I should still have it, I just went through the sets I have on the floor but they are z61 and t40, email me.
Errod regarding your problem you need to do this.
1-What size is the drive, is it with in the maximum size supported by that machine, ie: if it is 200gb it might not work thats a slightly older model, if its like 100gb you should do bios update but I notice the max size listed is 80gb
See here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-46474.html
Also for your ref go here and type in your type number
80gb then I would run
-A drive fitness test across the drive, download the cd
here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/downloads/dft32_v415_b01.iso
Floppy version
here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/downloads/dft32_v415_b01.EXE
Is the drive ok if so run a a total erase of the drive with kill disk (runs zeros across the whole drive).
Here; http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm
Make a floppy or a cd depends what you have there to use.
Ok I just checked and I actually have the t42 disks, your first disk should be,
Field Value
0) Name: R51,T42,T42p
1) CD#: Disc 1 of 7
2) Date: 01/28/2005
5) Lang: EN
7) MS Date 2004
8) Type: 1829,1830,1831,1836,1840,1841,2373,2374,2378,2379
Boot from that.
The thinkpad systems are great machines honestly great build quality, I am happy to help any one get there systems up and running, write down your problems or email me.
good luck

T40: Recovery without CDs, including the hidden partition
Thinkpad T40 Windows XP Pro
80 Gb Hd (capacity 71.3 Gb)
I wanted replace my internal hard drive (for a larger 100 Gb) without any recovery CDs (not available anymore from IBM/Lenovo), and then "recover" all my prior data (documents, programs, drivers, etc., including factory installed and later additions and that pesky but vital hidden partition) on the new drive. These are the steps I took. They worked perfectly and maybe some of this info will be useful:
1. Did a backup of my computer "as is" on an separate external hard drive. (Note: this was not onto the new 100 Gb laptop hard drive. Also, routine backup will not copy recovery data located in the "hidden partition", but its a good idea just in case.)
2. Downloaded free the progam "todo-backup" from the web. (Google it)
3. Connected the 100 Gb (formatted) destination drive to my laptop (externally) via USB.
3. Ran "todo" and chose clone (selecting as prompted the original then destination drive from the list.) (Cloneing took 4.3 hours.)
4. After cloneing, the destination drive mirrored the original drive (it showed the same 71.3 size, but this copied everything including the hidden parition.)
5. Because destination drive was larger, I had to repartition it to gain/recognize the unallocated space. Downloaded free "partition magic" and ran it from the internal to the destination drive.
6. Shut down the computer, and swapped out the original drive for the destination drive, and viola! My computer has a larger drive and everything original to the machine and later added is all there.) (I even went to Lenovo support and chose "detect my machine", it recognized my computer and didn't detect that the drive was an alien.)
Hope this helps someone. K

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants football added as an Olympic sport, and the league is in the process of trying to make that a reality in the future.
"We're already taking steps to gain that IOC recognition," Goodell told ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio on The Dan Patrick Show.
"We have, I think, 64 countries that are playing American football now, and that's one of the requirements. That's been growing dramatically -- I think it was 40 just five years ago.
"Our point is just to keep growing the game. ... We are seriously contemplating as early as 2013 playing two NFL games next season (in Europe), and I think we'll do that. It's a response to the tremendous fan reaction and the growth of the game. If we can continue to grow the game there and have the fan reaction that we have, there very well may be a franchise in London."
The guess here is that we'll see an international NFL franchise well before we see American football become an international sport.
