I've done all the steps, but when I remove the USB drive and plug into another computer to boot it gives the effor that the boot sector is corrupted. Do you have any suggestions?
Have you made sure that another drive is plugged in sata or ide channel or BSOD after install procedure (used or unused).
Meaning this only boots off usb vista, if there is another hard drive present in the system.
Has something to do with vista verification of disk drives. The ide or sata drive doesnt need to boot, it just needs to be present. (seen this with some hardware, others boot fine without any other attached drives)
I have been running Vista from my USB drive (using your excellent instructions) since I added a new hdd to my laptop and installed windows 7 (RC1 at first but now full 7 ultimate) and windows xp. I haven't had any trouble until now. SP2 downloaded and installed and now i can't get Vista to work on the USB drive.
I have plugged back into the sata on the laptop and it boots no problem. redid all the reg entries and put back in the usb caddy and still it won't work. Do have any suggestions?

I managed to start it in safe mode. Could not find anything wrong. While in safe mode.
I gave up and went to shut down but hit restart instead. It all started without a problem !!???
Black magic I suppose
One question:(Lazy mans quick install...
Here is a working INF file which you can copy (by assigning deassigning drive letters to your usb drive)
put it in c:\ of your windows install, inside vmware right click install the inf file. It wont change the usb
inf files for you but it will add the reg and copy usbstor.sys for you. For those who dont want to regedit and such...)
isint usb drive in vmware C ?
I realize that this is a Vista forum, but I am interested in whether this procedure for installing and running Vista from an USB drive will work for Windows 7 Home Premium. I have tried this, but am having difficulty getting to the external drive even in VMware. I downloaded VMware Workstation 7.1.2 and attempted to follow the directions in this post, but there are differences in the current version of VMware and I may be missing something. When I power on the virtual machine (on the usb harddrive) I get the error "BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart." Going into the virtual machine bios and selecting CD/DVD device in the boot order, Windows setup begins and the screen shows "Windows is starting," but then a dialog box opens as follows:
Windows 7 - VMware Workstation
? Operation on file \\.\PysicalDrive1" failed.
If the files reside on a remote file system, please make sure your network connection and the server where this disk resides are functioning properly. If the files reside on removable media, reattach the media.
Choose Retry to attempt the operation again.
Choose Abort to terminate this session.
Choose Continue to forward error to the guest operating system.
But choosing "Retry" simply brings up the dialog box again; choosing "Continue" seems to do nohing at all; and choosing "Abort" ends the VMware session. I have tried this with both a Windows installation CD and with an ISO file, but neither will install Windows 7.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong and/or missing?

Cute and interesting little place. Food was beautiful, very modestly priced, definately the best chinese I've had! I recommend the special new canton chicken dish and sweet and sour duck!
I have been going to this place for many years, for both dine in and take away. For me the draw card is most definately the quality of the food over the ambience of the restaurant. Highly recommended!More reviews

Human Rights Watch Goes After Facebook
Human Rights Watch took on Facebook Inc. over comments a company lobbyist made in The Wall Street Journal in early May.
In a May 10 letter made public overnight by Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth, the organization's executive director, expressed concern "about the human rights implications of Facebook's possible entry into the Chinese market, particularly in light of Adam Conner's quote in the Wall Street Journal stating that the company may be allowing 'too much…free speech.' We urge that, as you work to define the terms of your entry, you do not collude with Chinese authorities in censoring political speech or helping them retaliate against Facebook users who want to benefit from the openness and connectivity that Facebook promotes."
The letter goes on to mention specifics such as censorship and protection of users' identities.
"This is a particularly perilous time for human rights activists in China…We have long believed that the internet has an enormous potential to advance human rights, but only if corporations safeguard the ability of people to use it freely," Mr. Roth writes.
Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes issued the company's standard response to queries about its China plans: "Right now we're studying and learning about China but have made no decisions about it or how we will approach it."
Arvind Ganesan, director of business and human rights at Human Rights Watch, said Facebook officials had offered to meet with the group, but had as yet not formally responded to Mr. Roth's letter.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/10/2013 (1381 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The federal government's announcement an Egyptian-based company cannot purchase MTS Allstream has delivered a serious setback to the Manitoba company, while raising questions around the world about Canada's openness to foreign investment.
Accelero Capital Holdings had been pursuing Allstream for two years when a $525-million purchase deal was reached last May. Then, 136 days later, Ottawa announced the deal could not proceed because of unspecified national security concerns under Canada's foreign investment rules.
Meanwhile, Allstream is out of pocket about $35 million in restructuring costs and its share prices have dropped because of the sudden turnaround in its fortunes. This is not an acceptable practice, and it has again raised concerns Canada's foreign investment rules are opaque and arbitrary.
The government owes MTS an explanation as to why it waited so long to issue its ruling, particularly when Ottawa's bureaucracy has been dealing with Accelero for at least five years in connection with other business deals that were approved. Ottawa even went to court to overturn a CRTC ruling against Accelero's financing of another telecom.
MTS Allstream is apparently a security matter because its fibre-optic network is used by corporate customers, some provinces and the federal government. But if Accelero is truly untrustworthy, presumably because of its Mideast connections, then someone in Ottawa must have been aware of it long before Monday's abrupt ruling.
An independent review is needed to determine if the government's security concerns are valid and if the delay in reporting its findings were unavoidable. MTS, and the general public, need assurance beyond the government's three-paragraph statement that it acted quickly and in the best interest of Canadians.

You'd think a cellphone's screen is too tiny for any, uh, "intimate" viewing. Apparently not. The words "sex" and "porno" are among the most popular terms on mobile search engines, says a report from Crisp Wireless, a publisher of mobile phone websites for companies such as Time Warner, Paramount Pictures and USA TODAY.
Those were the eighth- and ninth-most-searched-for terms, according to Crisp's study of more than 14 million mobile Web users in the first quarter of 2008.
AD TRACK ARCHIVE: What's happening in the marketing world
Barack Obama not only beat Hillary Clinton for the presidential nomination, he bested her in online search, too. "Barack Obama" or just "Obama" was the No. 1 search. "Hillary Clinton" was 14th.
Among Crisp's other findings:
•Only about 8% of mobile Web users use search engines to navigate. Nearly 40% type in URLs directly, have favorite sites bookmarked or click on text links. The majority only access websites prelisted on the phone directory networks, the so-called on-deck portals preloaded by their carriers.
•Users were more interested in stars than stocks: Horoscopes was the No. 7 search term, while Nasdaq was 16th and Dow Jones, 25th.
•Also in the top 10: American Idol.
Oh yes, he's back
MasterCard has enlisted Mr. Bill, the "Oh, noooo!" clay man of Saturday Night Live fame, as a pitchman. A new debit card TV ad from agency McCann Erickson mimics the 1970s shorts on SNL, with the multicolored icon suffering a series of mishaps.
Among them: He's burned by a $2 cup of coffee and falls off a treadmill while using a $59-a-month gym membership. As always, Mr. Bill cheerfully recovers from each disaster, only to fall into another. His MasterCard tag line: "Making it through the day: Priceless."
Baby talk
The fast-talking, spit-up spewing E-Trade baby is now up-to-speed on wireless. New TV ads show the tyke — who made a splash in two Super Bowl ads — trading stocks, receiving real-time streaming quotes and taking calls on his BlackBerry. Now 14 months old, the babe uses E-Trade Mobile, which offers wireless access to E-Trade accounts via BlackBerrys.
Most important, there appears to be a gal in the baby's life — and it's not Mom. "What a bad girl!" he says in the commercial, upon receiving a juicy e-mail.
"Everyone loves babies," says E-Trade marketing chief Nick Utton. The campaign "is a marketing trifecta — cute, funny and complete with an 'ah-ha!' factor."
Connecting with moviegoers
With all the cinema ads these days, the Ad Team's popcorn doesn't last until the film. But now, cinema ad company Screenvision has an activity that could keep our hands out of the bag. This month in 10 markets, it will roll out on-screen polling via text message. The first poll is sponsored by Verizon Wireless, but moviegoers with any phone can play.
Audiences in cities such as New York, Boston and Los Angeles will be asked "What's your favorite music genre?" They can text "A" for pop, "B" for country, "C" for hip-hop or "D" for rock. A bar chart on the screen before the film will show the audience's response.
Latecomers won't miss Verizon's pitch. Lobby TV screens and, of course, the popcorn bags, will have ads for the carrier. So texters don't forget to turn off their phones, a pre-movie clip with Verizon's "Can you hear me now?" guy will remind them.
Eternal happiness
There's no doubt that recently deceased Fredric Baur, 89, was proud of being the brains behind Pringles canned potato crisps: He wanted his ashes, or cremains, enshrined in one of the iconic cans. Bauer's children honored the request, placing some in a can, while putting the rest in two urns. For the record, the Ad Team is proud of its work, but is not prepared to spend eternity in a USA TODAY coin box.
Q: There are three Marriott Residence Inn commercials: Balance, Trapeze and Plate Spinner. Jinny Jacinto is the Balancer, but who are the other two? —Harley Rhodes, Centennial, Colo.
A: You must be a Cirque de Soleil fan to spot Jinny Jessica Jacinto (see YouTube video). The dramatic, highly choreographed ads began airing last summer for the Marriott chain of long-stay hotels. Each ad promotes a different hotel feature. Jacinto highlights in-room grocery delivery, which inspires her to do a handstand on the counter.
The trapeze artist (YouTube video) is Seiline Vallée, who twirls from red drapes. She's based in Prague, where all the commercials were filmed. The plate spinner (YouTube video) is Tim Eagle, a London-based dancer and martial arts expert, who twirls plates in a newly designed full kitchen.
The campaign, by McGarryBowen, N.Y., has a fourth ad (YouTube video). You missed the one with juggling fire breather Alex Poulter, who was an aerialist consultant for the 2004 Olympics Opening Ceremony. He promotes the chain's outdoor fire pits.

Reviews of this property
Appartamento si trova in una posizione fantastica. Ottima ospitalita e comunicazione. La camera pulita con l'unica pecca che non ha una serratura decente ma non ci sono stati problemi. Lo consiglio per le persone senza molte pretese.
The worst place in Barcelona, I know becuase I was there. Insects in the bedroom, but when I ask for this situation..."you can going other place".
The manager told me that situation can do it in anywhere...What?? maybe for you that´s a normal situation... insect walking on the bed.
I can´t change the place, because Barcelona was full...The worst place in the world
Perfekte Lage, keine 5 Minuten zur Rambla und 7 Minuten zum Placa Catalunya. In der Wohnung, die einer Touristen-WG entspricht, gibts alles was man braucht (Küche, großes Bad). Nachteil am Zimmer sind die fehlenden Fenster. Kommunikation mit Carlos hat auch gut geklappt. Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt gerne wieder!
Carlos is a very nice host, very helpful and kind. The room is cheap, the location is great and the flat is clean. However, it is very old and the room has no window. I can perfectly recomment it for a short stay only but I am sure that the bigger rooms with windows would be perfect even for a longer stay.
Reviews for this host's other properties
No se podía pedir demasiado por el precio que pagamos y donde estaba situado pero no parecía la habitación de las fotos, la pared descorchada y con un montón de humedades, hacia un calor insufrible en la habitación había dos ventiladores pero el más grande hacia demasiado ruido para poder dormir con el, el colchón de las camas bastante viejo y con muelles y las almohadas dos especie de cojines, aunque el edificio parece bastante viejo parecía que estaba limpio, Carlos muy agradable pero debería mejorar algunas cosas para que sus huéspedes estén satisfechos con su estancia.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very dissapointent experiance.
No window in the room, if you could name it a room.
It was more like of a prissoncel.
No way to get some fresh air in the cel (2x2,5m).
We tried to get a better room, but the host was very determined about it " this was exactly wat we ordered".
When we booked it it says from off 32 euro but we paid 46 euro. I wonder if there was a room that was even worst than this one. Not to be recommented.
Das Zimmer ohne Fenster gefiel mir nicht. Es war sehr hellhörig. Es gab Schwierigkeiten mit dem Türriegel meines Zimmers, statt sich zu entschuldigen bekam ich noch Vorwürfe vom Vermieter.

All the advantages of Spanish guitar building applied to a full-size steel-string.
The D11-CE is the top of Cordoba's Acero Series guitars, a line of all-solid steel strings approached from a classical or Spanish guitar building perspective. Most notably, Cordoba is using an integrated neck joint or "Spanish Heel" instead of a traditional dovetail joint to join the body and neck of the guitar. This method of construction offers a lighter weight and more stable heel joint that increases resonance and is less prone to movement as the guitar ages. The bracing pattern is a hybrid of a Torres-style Spanish fan pattern and X-bracing, and allows the top to move freely with an explosive attack and rich resonant tone.

The atmosphere made the time for us so special especially with family visitng from out of country.
Family oriented hotel, very welcoming, nicely decorated. Very good kitchen. Attentiveness to our kids.
Excellent food and service.
The hotel was located in a nice quite area approximately 5 kilometers from Triberg
Our stay at the Hotel Dorer exceeded all our expectations. The room was very clean as was the en-suite bathroom. The view from our balcony across to the forest was delightfull. The standard of the food was also exceptional, so much so we dined at the hotel every night. The new spa facility with swimming pool, steam room and sauna was a wonderful way to relax after a full day of sightseeing. All in all the Hotel Dorer and its owners could not be faulted; nothing was too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend this hotel.
Really enjoyed this hotel, everyone went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Exquisite food, we had every meal there. They designed an auto tour for us. Room was very comfortable.
Please write at least 15 words
Hotel Staffs were very kind and frendly. Breakfast was fantastic. This hotel should be called as 'Gasthof / Inn' rather tahn 4-star hotel, though everything has been prepared.
Atmosphere The time schedule for the swimming pool and other facilities are very limited.
Fantastic gourment meals, excellent breakfast! Rooms were immaculate. Area was quiet!
The location was excellent, Italian restaurant nearby, clean, quiet, very nice breakfast.
This hotel is in good locality with a nice pizzeria just beside it. Hotel staff is excellent . the views from breakfast room is breath taking. The rooms are nicely furbished and have mordern amenities. We would recommend this hotel and would love to stay again there.
Wonderful location, right on the main street, close to the waterfall and shops. If you have a room facing the main street, be prepared for some noise, particularly early in the morning.
Friendly and informative staff. Good breakfast and the hotel was wonderfully located. The shelf above our heads at the headboard end as we kept banging our heads when getting up in the morning
The room with balcony, the great breakfasts and most of all the friendliness of the staff.
rooms were clean, balcony was very nice, very central location close to everything, owner very friendly, accomodating and spoke good english. we had to leave before breakfast was served one day so the owner prepared a tray of food for us to eat before we left in the morning which we really appreciated. The buffet breakfast was excellent; by far the best we've been served at a hotel. the hotel is on a main street, which is great because it's close to everything, but it's somewhat noisy at night and early in the morning because of the traffic. This isn't really a problem, just something to be aware of.
Staff was excellent and very helpful and willing to go beyond what she should have to do for her guest
Excellent breakfast. Operator was very friendly and helpful in directing us to the parking out back. The location is perfect for walking to everything that Triberg has to offer. Though the rooms are clean, they are a bit dated; not that we really minded. The good points outweighed this small negative.
Good location in town Very small rooms, noisy street
location, location, location! A great European style hotel
Excellent location
We loved the bathroom, Really Big, The Whirlpool tub was outstanding...breakfast was very good...outstanding SERVICE...all the staff was friendly and smiles upon their faces. Wellness spa, pool, workout room..This hotel was really good for the money. Close to shopping..clocks; sightseeing and fresh air, beautiful country side. My room needed just a little more space; it was a little tight
Everything. Very clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location in the village.
Great room with cozy historical feeling. Lovely staff, great location, nice breakfast. Spa services are a great plus! There was nothing I did not enjoy about the stay.
Everything! The spa was a real treat, the rooms were magnificent and the hotel staff very friendly. Breakfast was of an excellent standard and the gourmet restaurant was exquisit and not overly expensive given the quality of food. Nothing!
A good centre for visiting the Black Forest area including Titisee and Freiburg. Pleasant ambiance of the hotle bar and grounds Duvets - tog rating too high, so too hot in bed
Everything!Room,spa,garden.This hotel is one of my favorite hotel in my life. No AC.We were hot at room and restaurant.
Very nice spa area. Helpful and friendly staff. Same CD playing at dinner and breakfast. Not enough staff available at check out time
Centrally located, good buffet, nice little cat, beautiful garden by the guest house, friendly and helpful staff. Nothing.
Excellent rooms, restaurant and spa facilities. Rooms had lovely decor and furniture. Breakfast was excellent but food ran out without being re supplied
Good country setting, comfortable room, indoor and outdoor pool.
in the country, quiet atmosphere. Great outside hottub/pool. Very relaxing. Very dog friendly
the location is fantastic for relax break. we stayed only one day but we enjoyed it, breakfast was very good. A four strar Hotel must have a receptionist. The cook and the personell in the kitchen are doing the reception, if the cook is cooking you have to wait
Room was big, private bath and balcony, swimming pool, kids room, pool table, relaxing atmosphere
The facility was very nice and clean. The location was quiet and picturesque, out of town, but close enough to the places we wanted to go. The staff spoke adequate English for us. The pools and sauna were great. The only problem we encountered was at checkout, the rate from the internet was not reflected on the bill. However, the owner readily agreed with the rate we had been quoted.
The hotel is simple as a farm hotel need to be. The staff are very nice people and very helpfull. The sauna and swimming pool are excellente, and good breakfeast. Maybe they could have the menu for dinner in english. It is only in german.
Love the swimming pools and sauna area. Did realize there was a work out room until we were leaving.
The setting and outlook was very pretty. Room was spacious with a good sized terrace. Heated outdoor and indoor pools with sun loungers. Didn't use the sauna etc so can't comment. Breakfast was good. The staff were friendly but they spoke minimal English. We ate dinner there one night but didn't know what we were ordering because the menu was only in German.
Spot-On Hotel. Would recommend with no reservation.
The people was not nice
We have looked on internet for a long time to find a hotel with good prices in Luzern. Landhaus Lena has allowed us to stay near the city centre (10 minutes far from the city centre walking along a beautiful street) with a price that we can define acceptable for the Switzerland. The room was really clean and big with new and 'Japanese style' furnishings. The shared toilets are really clean (they offer a disinfectant for the wc, also) and they look really beautiful and with a modern style. Travelling with a motorbike it was really important for us to have a parking and in Landhaus Lena it is in front of the entrance! We could not ask for more...The location is really quiet and silent and it's opened 24 hours because the staff give to the guests the key for the main doorway. The staff is too gentle and helpful but, I'm sincere, I don't know if there is somebody to the reception 24 hour at day. Our impression was really positive and we recommend Landhaus Lena without problems! In the morning after keeping closed the room for all the night, it was just a little bit of smell, probably caused by the moquette. We know that it's not unusual in a hotel with the floor covered by the moquette.
We were very impressed with this Hotel. The room was very large and a comfortable size balcony. Large bathroom. I would stay at this hotel if I ever get back to the Black Forest!! The hallways don't soak up any of the noises. When you shut your door to your room, it echos all the way down the hall.
Walking distance to the waterfall and trails in the woods.
Beautiful view of the city and surrounding scenery. Very helpful staff Would like to have air conditioning
the location can't be beat for walking the town of Triberg. Very close to the falls and shopping and the countryside is wonderful. No sep. shower
The staff go above and beyond to make your stay a pleasant experience. The rooms are great and the view is fantastic. The hotel is well equipped with services and facilities, and all are in good order, neat and well maintained. The location of the hotel is great. This is an ideal hotel in all aspects.
Nice place to stay.Really welcome people Pity that we have to pay to get acces to the sauna
great location, pool, comfort...
Lovely spacious rooms,good batheroom,best view from room of black forest Hotel did not reply our query on email regarding inquiry about reaching hotel inspite of our 3 mails and it was really necessary as its far from station triberg and transport from station is bad and guidance from hote;l staff to the customer is necessary especially when asked!
Very beautiful view of the mountains and town. Very nice breakfast. The beds are worn and needs attention. We had 2 rooms and the beds in both were worn out. Room smelld like smoke although it was non smoking.
My children realy enjoyed swimming pool a lot. We have a nice stay.
Fabulous location, friendly and professional owners&staff, great cuisine & fine selection of wines, sauna, home cinema room - all in a cottage where you may feel like a remote member of the family. Loved the freshly caught trout from the backyard creek that would become the mighty Danube. Nothing comes to mind...
This is a very nice, family run bed and breakfast hotel. The hotel is about 7 Km from the town of Triburg and is right in the middle of the forest. Lots of hiking trails and countryside. We really enjoyed our stay and the food was wonderful. They are set up well for families with small children. Our daughter enjoyed the children's playroom, outdoor playground and bunk beds. Highly recommend this hotel.

YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - Patti Worley, Yongsan's Volunteer of the 4th Quarter, knows firsthand the impact one person can have on the Community.
Her dedication and commitment as USAG Yongsan Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) Volunteer Program Manager (VPM) was instrumental in the success of the yearly conference, which affects both the Garrison and Army Community.
Worley's volunteer experience began in 2007 as part of the Family Readiness Group in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In 2008, she was introduced to volunteering as an AFAP Delegate at Fort Sill.
Worley continued her interest in volunteering at Yongsan. "When I arrived in Korea, I went to the ACS building and I found myself part of the USAG Yongsan AFAP Conference Planning Team. It is here that I realized my passion for the AFAP program."
"AFAP is a process. You can be a part of something that can improve the quality of life for the members in your Community and even the entire Army Family. It is that exciting!" explained Worley.
On winning the Volunteer of the Quarter, Worley remarked, "I honestly was not expecting to win, so my feeling was definitely shock! There were so many other volunteers up for the title that I was humbled."
Being a volunteer allowed Worley to give back to the Community while learning valuable skills useful at future duty stations.
Worley noted, "Volunteering for this program has taught me how to deal with team dynamics, plan events, manage deadlines and work within the protocol. All these are assets that any employer seeks for their organization. It is valuable experience!"
Looking back on the experience, Worley says, "As our time here in Korea is coming to a close, I had to leave my position as VPM for USAG Yongsan AFAP. The ACS here in Yongsan is the best that I have seen and had the pleasure to work with. They have a great team working for our Community and they are in need of volunteers to help run the various programs within it."
The Army Family Action Plan Conference will be held October 3-5. For more information or to learn how to become a volunteer, please call 738-3617. To learn how to become a volunteer at USAG Yongsan, please visit the ACS building or call 738-7505.

I concur with all of the past comments on bottle bills. Here is a link to the State of Maine - the state has all of the information on line with Facts and Myths, etc. The ONLY way that we will ever achieve this goal is to implement a deposit and redemption program. It will provide funds for individuals and groups to collect cans and bottles to raise money. Maine has over 30 years of experience.
Florida needs to take leadership in this. All the education in the world will not work unless you give people an incentive and hit their pocketbook.
Here is the link. I hope someone takes the time and looks at it and finds someone in the house and the senate to offer a bill for Florida.
We cannot waste any more time.

MR. WALLACE: And we're back now to talk about the future of the Republican Party with two rising GOP stars.
From Richmond, Virginia, Congressman Eric Cantor, who is in position to become the number two Republican in the House. And here in-studio, Mike Pence, who's set to move up to the number three spot.
And Congressmen, welcome back to "FOX News Sunday."
REP. PENCE: Thanks, Chris.
REP. CANTOR: (Good morning. ?)
MR. WALLACE: Congressman Cantor, you just heard John Podesta, the head of the Obama transition team, talking. He said that he believes that Election Day was a victory for the progressive philosophy.
Is he right?
REP. CANTOR: You know, I -- obviously, Chris, I disagree with that. I think if you look at some of the indicators in the polling post the election, this was not some kind of realignment of the electorate, not some kind of shift of the American people toward some style of European, social, big-government type of philosophy.
I think instead what has -- we have seen happen is a tremendous distrust on the part of the people in their government. We were associated with this government for the past eight years.
And you can look at some of the things that people are upset about, whether it was the latest in the financial crisis, whether it was the handling of the response to Hurricane Katrina, or whether it was the continued ratcheting up of federal spending in Washington. All of these things, I think, led to the fact that we did not perform well in this election.
We'll have to re-group. We'll have to come back to this notion that it really is not about the left versus right; it's not about conservative versus liberal. It's about right versus wrong.
And we're going to have to take into consideration the fact that this country has grown more diverse, and -- but there is still yet a common element among the American people, and that is they want to see a government that works for them.
And we still believe very strongly that it is our common-sense conservative principles of a limited government, of lower taxes, of reining in federal spending that will provide the type of solutions to the challenges that face American people in their everyday lives.
And I do believe that this will be what our roadmap will contain, going forward.
MR. WALLACE: But let me bring this -- bring up something that you just said with Congressman Pence.
Congressman Cantor at the beginning said this wasn't a victory for big government and European social solutions. Now, obviously, the Obama campaign -- or the Obama camp, now -- wouldn't call it that.
But those were certainly the issues in this campaign -- questions of taxes, the idea -- the charge of socialism was brought up. The American people didn't seem to buy it.
REP. PENCE: Yeah, Chris. I do want to agree with Eric. I don't think this was a victory for a progressive or liberal victory. I think this was a victory for Barack Obama.
And I want to begin this morning by offering my sincere congratulations to the president-elect and to his team on running an exceptional campaign.
MR. WALLACE: But he -- forgive me, Congressman, he stood for some things in that campaign.
REP. PENCE: Well, he stood for some things, and I read Rich Lowry's column this morning where he pointed out that exit polls showed that only 22 percent of Americans embrace what is describe as a liberal world view. That's the same as it's been the last four and eight years.
I agree with Eric. I don't think this was a liberal realignment. I think this was an enormously effective campaign run by the president-elect and his team. But also, I'm not immune to the fact that this was an extremely moving and historical moment in the life of this nation.
You know, I grew up in a time when my heroes were John F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And I have to tell you, to see an African American president-elect walk out on that stage and say to the world, my story would only be possible here in America, was deeply inspiring to me.
MR. WALLACE: Well --
REP. PENCE: And so I really do believe this was not a realignment. This was an extraordinarily compelling figure. And the fact that John McCain still came away with, I think, 46 percent of the vote shows the resilience and durability of common-sense conservative ideals.
MR. WALLACE: Well, for all the good feeling, Congressman Pence, you have been quoted as saying that you feel your job over the next two years is to, quote, "expose, dismantle, and defeat the liberal Democratic agenda."
REP. PENCE: Right.
MR. WALLACE: So much for cooperation.
REP. PENCE: Well, let me say, look, I'm a conservative, but I'm not in a bad mood about it, Chris. The purpose of the opposition is to oppose, to oppose every time that we do.
And look, we're -- I prayed for our president-elect this morning. I think Americans all want to see their president successful. We're going to get through an inauguration, and it's going to be a historical moment.
But as Eric and I both know, having dealt with the Democrats on Capitol Hill and knowing the policies of the president-elect, we're going to have some pretty vigorous disagreements, and they're going to be along traditional fault lines. And we're going to cheerfully provide that loyal opposition.
MR. WALLACE: Congressman Cantor, let's look at some of the exit polls from Tuesday night. Back in 2004 the same percentage of voters, 37 percent, identified themselves as Republicans and Democrats. Tuesday, Democrats had a seven-point advantage.
And look at these voting blocs. Mr. Obama did 14 points better among Hispanics than John Kerry did; plus-eight among people making more than $100,000 a year; plus-12 among young voters.
Congressman Cantor, when you look at those numbers, when you look at the fact that you are losing the West Coast, you're in the process of losing the Rocky Mountain West, and you know don't have a single House Republican member from New England, isn't the GOP in some trouble?
REP. CANTOR: Well, listen. There's no question the numbers are startling. And if you do look at the turnout numbers and the responses of those interviewed, we have to demonstrate, number one, that we understand what people are going through. Our vision going forward has to be one of reform.
But look, there's no question Barack Obama is an extraordinary communicator. The success of his campaign was largely based on a message that he was able to connect with a broad swath of the American people.
There's no question that the Republican Party has got to stop doing things the way they've always done them. We were doing things that we've been doing for the last 10 years. The incredible innovation and use of technology that the Obama campaign and the Democrats employed is stunning.
We're going to have to change. The Republican Party will have to begin to adapt those innovations and that technology to make sure that we can reach out to the increasing diverse population of this country.
But at the end of the day, it is about a message of change. And what we're going to be faced with when come back to Congress in January is a president who probably will be facing extraordinary challenges at a historic level.
If you look at, obviously, the roiling global financial situation; if you look at the fact that much of this country distrusts its government; if you look at the fact that we're still fighting in two wars, I think that the Republicans in Congress will stand ready to work with this new president.
But if he then says, I'm going to pivot away from my campaign promise to raise taxes and find a solution where we can help families and small businesses create jobs and find some type of security again, then we'll support him.
If, in turn, that he veers left and says no, the way to do this is to crank up the government spending machine and to raise taxes on families and small businesses, we're going to oppose him.
And so there is going to be, I think, a willingness to try and get things done. But at the end of the day, I think you will see a Republican Party in Congress serving as a check and a balance against Mr. Obama's power and Speaker Pelosi's power.
MR. WALLACE: But -- forgive me, Congressman Pence, an awful lot of what Congressman Cantor just said was what John McCain was saying, and the public rejected it.
REP. PENCE: Right.
MR. WALLACE: I mean, those were the issues on which this campaign was fought. I don't think this was just all about the charm of Barack Obama. I think there were some issues involved here as well.
How do you come up with a new message that will resonate in the parts of the country -- and I'm talking about New England, the far West, the Rocky Mountain West, where people are beginning to tune you out?
I had Karl Rove on on Election Night, and he said it's not enough to just go back and say well, we're the party of Ronald Reagan. He says you've got to come up with new, conservative solutions to the problems that people face today.
REP. PENCE: Right, but you build those conservative solutions, Chris, on the same time-honored principles of limited government, a belief in free markets, a belief in the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.
You look at those social issues, Chris. You know, there were three state referendums on marriage. All three of them carried, I think, in Florida, California, and Arizona.
The vitality of the conservative movement around the country is very real. I don't think we should draw any broad conclusions, as Eric said, about a big realignment. You know --
(Cross talk.)
MR. WALLACE: So what do you do, as I say, to speak to people to say we can solve your problems better than the Democrats?
REP. PENCE: Well, I think that -- I think, number one, I like your question because I think being in the minority in the House and Senate for two years, what we've learned is we've got to speak to the American people.
What I -- what we've learned is that a minority of conservatives in the House, plus the American people, equals a majority. And last August, when House Republicans held the House floor for five weeks and demanded that Speaker Nancy Pelosi abandon her historic opposition to more domestic drilling, the American people mobilized, contacted their members of the House of Representatives, and the policy changed.
That's exactly the kind of approach you're going to see. It's going to be a cheerful opposition. We're going to carry those timeless principles of limited government, a strong defense, traditional values, to the American people.
And we're going to invite the American people, when the opposition is appropriate, we're going to invite the American people to join us in stopping any slide to the left by the Obama administration or Pelosi Democrats.
MR. WALLACE: And finally, Congressman Cantor -- and we have less than a minute left -- how long do you see Republicans in the wilderness? Is this something that takes years, or do you think you could actually take back the House or the Senate in 2010?
REP. CANTOR: Well, I think it's pretty unbelievable that we sit here today, given this (state ?), and four years ago the discussion was all about the Democrats unable to find their footing.
So I do think in this age of the 24/7 news cycle and the Internet world, we're going to have the ability to reach out to many supporters and many people across this nation, and allow them to see very quickly the differences in terms of vision of where we want to take this country.
And I think our challenge going forward is to make sure that we are able to connect with the younger people in this country in explaining our vision, in talking about the conservative principles that will be adapted to the everyday challenges that people face.
And I think that's our challenge, as you suggest, Chris, in the Northeast and the Upper Midwest. We will not be taking back a majority unless we are able to put in place a plan that does just that.
MR. WALLACE: All right. Congressman Cantor, Congressman Pence, we want to thank you both for talking with us. We'll be watching you both in action over the next two years, and we'll have you back often.
REP.PENCE: Thank you, Chris.
REP. CANTOR: Thanks, Chris.
MR. WALLACE: Thank you.
Up next, our Sunday Regulars read the first tea leaves from President-Elect Obama and try to figure out what his administration will do.
Back in a moment.

On Tuesday, former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz walloped the state's lieutenant governor, David Dewhurst, to ice the GOP nomination to replace retiring Sen Kay Bailey Hutchison. In a place where Democrats haven't won a statewide election since the 1990s, that all but guarantees Cruz will join the world's most deliberative body next January. The Washington Post's Sean Sullivan calls it "a victory for the tea party and national conservatives who lined up behind Cruz even when a surprise win appeared unlikely." This is mostly true, but there's something else that's worth noting about the GOP's fresh young face: For someone with a reputation as an "intellectual force," he holds some pretty out-there views.
He thinks George Soros wants to ban golf: Like many conservatives, Cruz believes that the United States' sovereignty is under assault from an obscure United Nations agreement called Agenda 21. Although Agenda 21 does not have the force of law, right-wingers believe the treaty's sustainable-development precepts will force Americans to live in "hobbit homes" and forcibly relocate residents from rural areas into densely populated urban cores. "Agenda 21 sounds like absolute crazy conspiracy theory nut stuff, but it's not," explains Glenn Beck. As Cruz puts it on his website:
The originator of this grand scheme is George Soros, who candidly supports socialism and believes that global development must progress through eliminating national sovereignty and private property. He has given millions to this project. But he is not the only one promoting this plan; in fact, the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) now consists of over 600 cities in the United States.
Agenda 21 attempts to abolish "unsustainable" environments, including golf courses, grazing pastures, and paved roads. It hopes to leave mother earth's surface unscratched by mankind. Everyone wants clean water and clean air, but Agenda 21 dehumanizes individuals by removing the very thing that has defined Americans since the beginning—our freedom.

Wilmington, Del.-based DuPont Crop Protection plans to sell its copper fungicide business to Tokyo-based Mitsui & Co. Ltd.
The sale, which is expected to close the fourth quarter of 2014, includes the brands Kocide and ManKocide as well as DuPont's Houston copper fungicide production facility, according to a news release.
Under its wholly owned subsidiary Mitsui AgriScience International USA, Mitsui will establish Certis Cu LLC in Columbia, Md., and CCU will acquire DuPont's copper fungicide business assets.
DuPont will continue to sell Kocide within the Asia Pacific region for up to five years, with Mitsui supplying the product, according to the agreement.
The main active ingredient in the products is copper hydroxide, also known as cupric hydroxide.
Copper is widely used as a fungicide and bactericide. Depending on the formulation, it also may be used in organic production.

text: Established in 1967 with a gift by Mrs. Clark Diffenback, the long raised mound of Clark Garden was built using recycled excavated soil from a renovated UD building, with a low retaining stone wall running most of its length. Plant donations, such as the large paper bark maple (Acer griseum) from Millcreek Nursery (the former nursery of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Frederick, Jr.), laid the foundation for an extensive woody plant collection. Some of the plants in this garden are the most mature specimens in the UDBG. Other notable specimens include California incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens), Leonard Messel Loebner's Magnolia (Magnolia x loebneri 'Leonard Messel'), and golden larch (Pseudolarix amabilis). This garden features a diverse collection of ornamental conifers, interspersed with deciduous flowering shrubs and trees and broadleaved evergreen plants which provide ornamental interest throughout the year.

As of Tuesday afternoon when the charges were dropped, Muschamp hadn't changed his stance, but his statement left some wiggle room if he wants to change his mind.
"As of now nothing has changed with Antonio's discipline status," Muschamp said in a statement released on Tuesday.
The Gainesville Sun first released video of Morrison's arrest on Monday, and soon after, the case was being dismissed.
"The dismissal is based on the lack of evidence to warrant much less legally sustain those charges and the complete inappropriateness of pursuing court action against Morrison or anyone else, under the circumstances,'' State Attorney Bill Cervone told the Gainesville Sun.
Morrison's attorney echoed the thoughts to the Sun.
"I would say there was no evidence," Gainesville attorney Huntley Johnson said. "The actions of the police were embarrassing."

Water price hike for consumers
Page Tools
Victorian ratepayers from metropolitan and regional areas will be hit with a five per cent average water price rise under an action plan to conserve the state's water supply.
Announcing the blueprint today, Premier Steve Bracks said the extra money raised would go to a $225 million water fund.
From October 1 this year, metropolitan and regional Victorians will pay on average five per cent more per year or $24 extra on their water bill.
Rural Victorians will pay on average two per cent more.
Over the next four years that money will be spent on improving the state's river and ground water supplies and repairing the irrigation system.
Under the plan, householders will face a revised tariff system for their water use.
"The more water you use the more you pay," Mr Bracks said.
The new water plan also involves an historic agreement with the state's farmers which gives them legal rights over irrigation water known as "sale water".
At the same time, 20 per cent of the sale water will be returned to the Murray River each year.
Altogether, 145 billion litres will be returned to the Murray each year to improve its natural flow, Mr Bracks said.
As well, permanent water saving measures for households in Melbourne will be introduced, including bans on hosing driveways.

Sacred Land Blog
In July, we traveled for the second time to Russia's Altai Republic, this time to film a meeting of 25 sacred site guardians from all over Central Asia who gathered to discuss strategies for protecting cultural and biological diversity locally and globally. At the invitation of the Foundation for Sustainable Development of Altai (FSDA), delegations from Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and Russia's Lake Baikal area met at Uch Enmek Nature Park with Altaian colleagues for two days of discussion about how best to deal with tourism, mining, climate change, archaeologists and government bureaucrats. Altaian environmentalist Danil Mamyev, a key character in our film, observed, "By networking sacred site guardians you also connect the places — and the guardians and the sacred places are all strengthened."
We learned when we arrived that our friend, shaman Maria Amanchina, had become very sick after we filmed her in the summer of 2007. When I saw Maria I apologized for any role our filming might have had in her illness and she said, "No, it wasn't you or the equipment, but I should not have allowed filming inside my yurt." Initially, we heard Maria would not permit filming on this trip and that she would not accompany the group on a pilgrimage after the conference. As the meeting went on, however, she changed her mind and allowed filming ("no tight shots please") and agreed to come with the group on a long journey to the Ukok Plateau.
On the final day of the conference, the participants took a journey with Danil Mamyev, the founder of Uch Enmek Park, into the heart of the Karakol Valley, where Danil explained how the three communities within the park protect both the ecology and spirituality of the valley through traditional customary law that guides careful management of biodiversity and sacred sites. We stood in a carpet of wildflowers richer and more diverse than any I have ever seen.
Danil is racing to survey and map the entire Uch Enmek Nature Park by the end of December 2009 to prevent the Russian government from privatizing the land within the sacred valley, which would allow distant hotel operators to buy land and build tourism facilities. We filmed Danil working with two students from Moscow University doing GPS mapping near an offering site by a tranquil mountain lake. The mapping work will be used to manage tourism by re-routing roads and trails and building a visitor education center. Danil's mapping work received a great boost this month with a National Science Foundation grant that should enable him to complete the survey work by the end of the year.
After the sacred site guardian meeting in the Karakol Valley ended, the participants journeyed to the Ukok Plateau, a World Heritage Site known even to the ancient Greeks as a hallowed burial ground. Before attempting to go over the pass to the plateau, Maria Amanchina led a sunrise ceremony with Danil and FSDA's Chagat Almashev and Maya Erlenbaeva offering milk to the four directions. After the ritual the group made a circuit of 13 springs before heading off for the far reaches of the Ukok Plateau, where they hoped to make it to the Mongolia-China border and the burial site of the renowned Ukok Princess, a 2,500-year-old mummy unearthed in 1993 by Russian archaeologists.
After a six-hour ride in indestructible Russian-built vehicles known as Uazis, passing ancient standing stones, the group made it to the now-empty burial site. The young woman had been buried in permafrost and her skin was well preserved, still bearing intricate tattoos, her clothing in perfect shape. Altaians immediately protested the removal of their ancestor and demanded her return. A major earthquake rocked the region soon after, and the locals attributed the earth tremor to the disturbance of the dead. Maria and Danil conducted a solemn ritual at the site of the excavated kurgan and prayed for the return and re-burial of the Ukok Princess.
When the Ukok pilgrimage concluded, we traveled to sacred Mt. Belukha and met a group of Europeans making a spiritual journey with a Russian-born healer named Ahamkara. As the drumming shaman invoked the Altaian nature deity, Erlich, the wolf, two members of the group began growling and writhing on the ground as they transformed into wolves. Tourism is on the rise in the Altai and native shaman have voiced growing concern about outsiders conducting such rituals, which the traditionalists describe as a form of "spiritual pollution."
Back now at our new home in Berkeley, I feel as if one of the mountains I watched all day lying quietly at the edge of the Ukok Plateau, Nairamdal, is still calling out to me. From half way around the world I can see its brightness hovering in my mind and I wonder: is it touching my soul? The Altaian mountains are potent and alive. When I close my eyes I see a series of softly rounded snow peaks stretching along the horizon under blue sky and puffy white clouds — a dazzling being whose name means "Friendship." The mountain was my first view of Mongolia. In front of Nairamdal I can also still see the endless barbed wire fence running to infinity along Russia's southern Siberian border.

I have a rash on the bottom of my right breast what could thsi be from?
The bottom side of the breast is a dark, warm place that is prone to heat and fungal rashes, so that is the most likely explanation. If this rash has lasted longer than a week or if it is really uncomfortable, I'd suggest you show it to a doctor. You would need a different type of cream for a fungal rash than for one from another cause, and the doctor is the one who can tell you what kind of rash you have. There is a type of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer that presents with red, dimpled skin. It is usually accompanied by swelling, pain and itching. So if your symptoms get worse or don't go away, make getting to a doctor a top priority.

Amerigo Vespucci
Spain and Portugal
- Primary Goal:
He explored the lands opened up by Christopher Columbus.
- Achievement:
He theorized that America was a separate continent and not part of Asia.
Amerigo Vespucci was born in the Italian city-state of Florence some time around 1451 or 1454. The Vespucci family was quite prominent in Florentine affairs; his grandfather (also named Amerigo) was a powerful politician with the city's ruling senate, and his father was a wealthy merchant and political insider. His uncle Georgio Antonio Vespucci was a leading scholar and churchman who would pass on to his young nephew a love for collecting books.
Little is known of Vespucci's youth. By the time Vespucci was in his early twenties, he had an enviable education in the works of Classical Greek and Latin writers. While his uncle Georgio steered Vespucci towards a scholarly life of writing and science, his father Nastagio was determined to make him a merchant. Vespucci's three brothers had typical enough jobs: Antonio was a notary in Florence, Girolamo was a soldier fighting the Turks in Hungary, while youngest brother Bernardo was a wool merchant. Nastagio would not abide a son who sat around reading books all day and gazing at stars all night. Vespucci was the only son Nastagio did not send to study at the University of Pisa; legend has it he was too afraid of forever losing Amerigo to a life of scholarship and cosmography.
In 1479, the city of Florence was in the grips of a political upheaval that made life difficult. Young Amerigo was sent off to Paris with his older cousin Guidantonio, who was the Florentine ambassador to France. Vespucci spent two years in France, acting as Guidantonio's secretary and assistant, learning the ways of diplomacy and how to act around kings and nobility. When Nastagio Vespucci died in 1482, it was his son Amerigo who took over the family's now struggling merchant house (the Florentine civil war had been bad for business). A year later, Amerigo Vespucci was made manager of the extremely powerful Medici merchant business.
The Medici family had ruled Florence since the 14th century, dominating the city's government, religious institutions and economy. They were also heavily involved in the European banking and merchant trades. Amerigo Vespucci apparently had quite a skill for turning a profit to have a powerful family such as the Medicis hire him. He was responsible for the proper handling of all business transactions for Lorenzo di Pier Francesco de Medici, then just 20 years old, and his younger brother Giovanni. Vespucci would remain Lorenzo's and Giovanni's financial manager for fifteen years, and through his sound business sense, both Vespucci and his patrons became quite wealthy. With money to spare, Vespucci indulged his love of science and geography by slowly acquiring an impressive collection of books and maps.
In 1491, Vespucci went to Spain to oversee the Medicis' business there. At the time, Spain was ruled by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who were busy fighting the remaining Moors and expelling Jewish merchants from the kingdom. With trade disrupted by war and a lack of qualified merchants, Spain was the perfect place for an enthusiastic man like Amerigo Vespucci to set up shop. As a merchant in Seville, Vespucci struck up an unofficial partnership with two other Italians, Donato Nicollini and Giannotto Berardi. Through Berardi, who specialized in outfitting ships, Vespucci made a number of contacts among mariners on the Seville riverfront.
Christopher Columbus, a fellow Italian and a favorite with the Spanish Crown, returned from "discovering" a new route to Asia in 1493. All of Spain was abuzz with what Columbus had apparently achieved: he had sailed west from Europe to India, land of jewels and spices. Men like Vespucci knew a fortune could be made if a merchant exploited this new route to the riches of the East. Before Columbus' voyage, Europeans were forced to pay extremely high prices charged by Greek and Arabic merchants for spices shipped overland from the Orient. The Portuguese had only just found a direct route by sea to India in 1488, when skilled mariner Bartolomeu Dias sailed around the tip of Africa into the Indian Ocean.
(The Europeans did not realize that Columbus hadn't actually reached India until the early 1500s. History credits Amerigo Vespucci with first theorizing that perhaps the land Columbus called India was actually a different, unknown continent altogether.)
When Berardi died in 1495, all his business in obtaining supplies for Spanish ships went to trusted Seville merchant Amerigo Vespucci. As Vespucci heard more and more from sailors returning from the New World, the more he wanted to sail there himself. In 1499, Vespucci managed to get himself assigned to an expedition headed back to the lands Columbus had discovered. Leading the operation was a young Spanish nobleman named Alonso de Ojeda, who had sailed with Columbus' second voyage and had his own ideas as to how best to find the westward sea route to India.

The government is stepping up efforts to rectify the sloppy handling of pension records, aiming to make progress by the end of the current fiscal year.
In the roughly six years that have passed since the loss of some 50.95 million pension records came to light, trust in the public pension system has quickly eroded.
During that span, the government and Japan Pension Service have since been cross-checking paper records against data stored in computer systems.
As of December, the investigation had resolved some 28.95 million cases and recovered records for about 13.24 million people, resulting in pension payments since May 2008 rising by ¥84 billion.
With some 22 million cases still unresolved, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the government is working to recover records for "as many people as possible."
But with little or no information on many of the remaining 22 million cases, it will be extremely difficult for Japan Pension Service alone to recover more records.
The pension records debacle is a challenge that has continued to vex Abe, as the problem first surfaced during his 2006-2007 stint as prime minister.
The Democratic Party of Japan, which was defeated by Abe's Liberal Democratic Party in last December's Lower House election, pledged to bring a settlement of the pension record problem into sight by the end of fiscal 2013 on March 31 of next year.
The target remains in place under the current LDP-New Komeito ruling coalition.
"We would like to complete the work by the end of fiscal 2013," said Keigo Masuya, senior vice minister of health, labor and welfare.
In January, Japan Pension Service launched a campaign calling for individuals to reconfirm their pension records.
"It is important for individuals to come forward" if they think their pension records may have been mismanaged, a senior welfare ministry official said.
The organization has been distributing information via its website and brochures on how lost records may be found as well as help for individuals who have changed jobs or names or whose names can be read in different ways.
It is also upgrading its Internet-based Nenkin (pension) Net service so that people can check on lost records by inputting their names, birthdays and other personal data.

I have a series of events that I recall every year about this time as my own personal memoriam, since 2008. Much like Nick Carraway describes looking back on his first interactions with Jay Gatsby, I didn't think too much of these events as they happened, and a lot of living went on around them. It was hindsight that brought them to the forefront as markers in a path and linked them in my mind. 2008 seems much longer than just four years...so much has changed and faded in my mind in four years.
But not this story, which probably taught me most of what I know and take to heart about my job, who I am, and my purpose. However, to fit the whole story, I am going to present it in four posts (posted every other day starting 11/3, ending 11/9) called In Memoriam and number them. I just wanted to give a heads up so that anyone interested in reading them would connect the events in chronological order as the posts come out.
Thanks for your interest in this story I've wanted to put into writing for the past four years.
