Just a little heads-up for those considering wasting time, hard drive space and bandwith on NFS Most Wanted demo - it's limited only to 15 minutes of playtime (per one session, then you need to restart and sit through forced intros). It's basically Burnout paradise rather then classic NFS so if you loved BP (like me) you'd most certainly like this one as well. Also - NO ONLINE in the demo (unlike BP where the online part was the reason I've bought the game on the first day once it was released).
It's a SHAME tha EA together with Sony forced Criterion to such pathetic and insulting step like limit the (already limited) demo to be timed as well. BLEH! I was considering to get this game before Xmas (actually both for PS3 and Vita) but I'll thing twice now.
Also - why is there no Crossbuy discount on this like it is lets say on Mina Golf 6 in Japan? If you have one of the game purchased in full (either physical copy or PSN download) you can purchase the other version for less than 40% of the full price. That's what I call a proper incentive ...

It wil become free soon i guess on plus...

I doubt it - "free" PS+ games are hardly those just released - maybe mid next year earlier, more likely by end of the next year.

Corticosteroids in Advanced Cancer
Corticosteroids in Advanced Cancer
ABSTRACT: Despite the fact that there are only a few controlled trials demonstrating the benefits associated with the use of corticosteroids in specific situations, these agents are administered frequently to patients with advanced cancer. Corticosteroids may be used alone or as adjuvants in combination with other palliative or antineoplastic treatments. For example, corticosteroids may help prevent nausea, vomiting, and hypersensitivity reactions to treatment with chemotherapy or radiation. They are also commonly used as appetite stimulants in patients with advanced cancer. In the adjuvant setting, corticosteroids help to alleviate pain in advanced cancer patients, including specific situations such as back pain related to epidural compression. This article reviews the evidence supporting the use of corticosteroids in a broad range of situations seen in patients with advanced cancer. [ONCOLOGY 15(2):225-236, 2001]
Corticosteroids are commonly used in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer. However, much of this use stems from the experience of practitioners rather than from data collected in controlled clinical trials.[1] Although little is known about the actual mechanisms by which corticosteroids exert their effects in patients, a substantial amount of evidence supports their monitored use in specific situations. This article will review the available evidence on the use of corticosteroids in advanced cancer, including treatment of refractory malignancies, use as premedication with chemotherapy, and symptom palliation.
Background Information
The most commonly used corticosteroids in the United States include prednisone, prednisolone, methlyprednisolone, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone, all of which were approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the 1950s. There does not appear to be evidence to support the use of one corticosteroid over another in any given situation, although physicians have their preferences.
Corticosteroids exhibit varying glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid effects (Table 1).[2,3] More potent glucocorticoid effects are desirable in inflammatory states, whereas mineralocorticoid effects are needed to treat adrenal insufficiency. Corticosteroids inhibit inflammatory and immune responses, most likely through alteration of cellular transcription and protein synthesis as well as through effects on lipocortins, which inhibit the release of arachidonic acid. The use of corticosteroids in advanced cancer revolves around their glucocorticoid effects, combined with an avoidance of the salt-retaining properties that characterize mineralocorticoids.
That said, it is important to remember that patients previously treated with corticosteroids may have some degree of adrenal suppression and, therefore, may require supplemental corticosteroid therapy during stressful situations. In this setting, mineralocorticoid properties are desired.
Effects of Long-Term Use
Chronic use of corticosteroids causes adrenal suppression and may blunt or prevent normal adrenal response to physiologic stress. To avoid this effect, many cancer patients may receive intermittent doses of steroids as antiemetics to prevent hypersensitivity reactions, or as adjuvants for pain control. Spiegel and colleagues performed adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-stimulation tests in 14 patients receiving high-dose prednisone for emesis prophylaxis prior to chemotherapy.[4] Adrenal function was suppressed in 13 patients at 24 hours and remained suppressed in 5 patients for more than 1 week.
Investigators at the University of Rochester performed ACTH-stimulation tests in nine women with ovarian cancer before and during chemotherapy in which dexamethasone premedication was used.[5] They noted effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis for up to 8 days, but reported no long-term suppression. It is probably not necessary to taper steroids when they are administered in brief, intermittent doses, but adrenal suppression should be considered when patients who have received such treatment present with hypotension and severe illness. The use of replacement-dose steroids in patients with cancer who are undergoing surgery was recently reviewed by Lefor.[6]
The risks associated with corticosteroid use in patients with advanced cancer have been reviewed extensively.[2] Acute side effects include dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, insomnia, oral and vaginal candidiasis, anxiety, and glucose intolerance. Side effects from chronic use include development of a cushingoid appearance, weight gain, edema, cataracts, osteoporosis, proximal myopathy, thinning of the skin, infection, and impaired wound healing. Corticosteroids can also lead to neuropsychiatric changes including depression, agitation, and delirium.[6]
It is important, therefore, to carefully weigh the potential benefits of corticosteroid therapy against potential side effects, and to closely monitor the efficacy of therapy. If no improvement is noted, treatment should be adjusted or discontinued.
Corticosteroids as Anticancer Agents
Corticosteroids have been used as anticancer agents since the 1940s,[8] with activity reported in a wide variety of solid tumors, including breast and prostate cancer, and the lymphoid hematologic malignancies. They are commonly found in regimens for acute lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, myeloma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This section will focus on the use of corticosteroids as palliative anticancer treatment once chemotherapeutic options have been exhausted or abandoned.
Multiple Myeloma
Several studies have been reported suggesting a benefit with the use of corticosteroids in refractory multiple myeloma. Alexanian et al reported the use of pulse prednisone therapy in patients with myeloma refractory to melphalan (Alkeran).[9] Prednisone was administered at 60 mg/m2/d for 5 of 8 days, for three pulses followed by a 3-week rest, with the cycle repeated. The investigators noted a greater than 50% reduction in tumor mass in 5 of 16 patients, and found that responding patients benefited clinically with less pain, improved performance status, and increased hemoglobin.
Norfolk and Child performed a similar study in 17 patients with relapsed or refractory disease. Patients in this study received prednisolone, 60 mg/m2/d for 5 days, followed by a 9-day rest.[10] Fourteen patients completed six cycles of treatment, and 10 had more than a 25% reduction in serum paraprotein or a 50% reduction in urinary light-chain excretion. An overall improvement in quality of life was also noted. Notably, two of the nonresponders demonstrated an improvement in performance status. Median survival for the group was more than 19 months.
In 1991, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group reported a pilot study of high-dose, pulsed dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory disease.[11] Patients received dexamethasone, 40 mg/d, 4 days a week for 8 weeks. Of 32 patients enrolled, 13 (40%) achieved objective responses and 28.5% showed improvement in pain or performance status. The study also reported significant toxicity, with 19 patients experiencing side effects assessed as at least grade 2. Median survival was 19 weeks, and the authors suggested that less frequent administration at longer intervals should be considered.
Alexanian also reported on the use of intermittent, high-dose dexamethasone, noting a 27% response rate in patients who did not respond to their prior treatment.[12] The Southwest Oncology Group reported a trial of alternate-day administration of corticosteroids (oral prednisone, 100 mg every other day for 2 weeks, then 50 mg every other day for 10 weeks) in 121 patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma. They measured glucocorticoid receptors from patient samples and found an improved response, but no change in overall survival among patients with a moderate number of receptors, compared with patients with a low number of receptors. They reported a 10% partial response rate (defined as a 50% to 75% decrease in M-protein), although 81 patients maintained stable disease while enrolled in the study.
Prednisone, as used in this study, was well tolerated and appeared to be associated with response and median survival rates (12 months) similar to those reported with other drug schedules used in myeloma.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
In 1996, Newcom reported on the outcome of two patients with refractory, poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma who had been treated with continuous corticosteroids (prednisone, 60 to 100 mg/d).[13] Both patients improved within 3 weeks of the initiation of single-agent prednisone, and both reportedly experienced regression of nodes and organomegaly as well as an improvement in function. However, the patients died 14 and 15 months after initiation of therapy with prednisone.
Breast Cancer
have been used in the primary treatment of breast cancer in elderly women after failure of front-line hormonal therapy.[8] Minton et al followed 91 women aged 65 years and older in whom disease progressed following initial hormonal therapy with estrogens, tamoxifen (Nolvadex), or androgens.[14] A treatment-free period of 1 month was recommended to control for a withdrawal response. The majority of patients received prednisolone, 15 mg daily, and 10 patients received hydrocortisone acetate, 75 mg daily. Objective responses were noted in 13 patients (14%). Another 19 (21%) achieved stable disease for at least 6 months. There was no correlation with any prior response to endocrine therapy, and toxicity was felt to be acceptable. Unfortunately, the authors did not report a clinical benefit as subjectively reported by the patients.
Mercer and colleagues reported a prospective randomized trial of aminoglutethimide (Cytadren, 125 mg twice daily) vs hydrocortisone (20 mg twice daily) in advanced breast cancer.[15] All patients were postmenopausal and had experienced disease progression on tamoxifen. Of 61 patients entered into the trial, 56 were included in the analysis. Three patients who received aminoglutethimide achieved a partial response (11%), while one partial and five complete responses (21%) were reported in the hydrocortisone group. Although this difference was not statistically significant, it does serve as evidence that corticosteroids have activity in breast cancer. The authors did not report on clinical benefit.
Prostate Cancer
Hormone therapy is well established in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, progressive disease after failure of hormone therapy is a difficult problem for patients in this setting. Tannock and colleagues from the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto have reported their experience with prednisone in the treatment of hormone-refractory disease.[16] In an informative study, these investigators prospectively treated 37 men with symptomatic bone metastases with 7.5 to 10 mg of prednisone daily. Pain scores were assessed by three different measures at monthly intervals.
An improvement in all three pain scales without an increase in opiate dosages was reported for a minimum of 1 month in 14 (38%) patients. Responses did not correlate with alkaline or acid phosphatase measures, but did appear to correlate with suppression of adrenal androgens. Although the median duration of response was only slightly more than 4 months, the investigators concluded that there was improvement in quality of life with little toxicity or expense. These investigators have now reported on the superiority of the combination of mitoxantrone (Novantrone) and prednisone as palliation for a similar group of patients; however, this therapy was not associated with a survival advantage.[17] Some patients will opt not to receive chemotherapy, although corticosteroids alone may be beneficial.
Sartor and colleagues assessed the effects of prednisone, 10 mg twice daily, on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in 29 men with progressive, hormone-refractory prostate cancer.[18] Twenty-six of the patients were symptomatic. PSA levels declined by at least 25% in 14 (48%) of the patients, and 23 of 26 reported an improvement in appetite, weight gain, or pain control. The median progression-free survival was 2 months; however, median overall survival was 12.8 months after initiation of therapy with prednisone. The duration of symptom control and any correlation with PSA measurements were not reported, but would be of interest as patients lived an average of 10 months beyond the development of progressive disease.

Interview: Cinematic Folk Musician Ben Abraham
Talking genre, the Melbourne music scene and inspiration
The title singer/songwriter can mean a great deal to a world's worth of musical listeners. And while Ben Abraham fits under that catch-all, there's something about his music that places him elsewhere. Abraham has been referred to as a cinematic folk artist and a listen of his debut album Siren explains why. Each track tells a tale, layered lyrically and sonically. Delicate moments yield themselves to escalation of all sorts. His voice is lovely, but it's the orchestration surrounding it that paints a bigger picture. With so many poetic music-makers out there, it's tough to stand out. Abraham does because of his inherent understanding of music, and we met with the Melbourne-based artist on our turf (at NYC's Souvlaki GR) to get more insight.
Your music has been described as cinematic folk. What does that mean to you?
I don't know who came up with that. It was either one of my friends or a producer I worked with. For me, genre is such a frustrating thing. There's a great Nico Muhly blog post on that. He talked about his experience where someone came said, "What's your genre? You need to tell me!" and he sort of responded with, "I'm the artist; it's my job to create. It's your job to interpret it or categorize it." My frustration is that I don't want to call myself a folk musician. People think of Bob Dylan. You also don't want to say you're a pop musician. So, cinematic folk I liked because the concept of being cinematic is about narrative—narrative with scope. I think when I listen to these songs, there are simple narratives but there's a scope to it all where they live in their own universe. That's aesthetically, but also lyrically. People need it, they need genres. If we get into the semantics of it, cinematic folk doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's been very helpful.
What do you cite as inspirations for your work?
People have talked about how personal the album is. It's personal because as an artist you can't help but inject your personality into it, but the engine of a lot of the songs is from other people's lives. I was fascinated by that as a storyteller. As I've come into my own as an artist, narrative as a whole—in every aesthetic—has come to inspire me. As does the entire body of an artist's work. When listening to an entire musician's contributions it doesn't just become, "Did you hear that middle eight of that piece? That's amazing!" I'm more about hearing that section of that piece in light of and in the context of everything else. That's the kind of the artist I want to be. It's not about hype taking a track to number one. I'm interested in learning the way people do stuff and why.
Can you talk some about the Melbourne music community that you've witnessed and taken part in?
It's really thriving. The joke in Melbourne is that everyone is in a band. That's kind of cool. There's a live venue on every corner. There's a lot of creativity, in general. I don't know how it would compare to American music scenes, but the Australian creative stuff has no money. There's literally no money. It's as robust a music scene as a population of four million can give. Certainly for musicians, though, it's the city you want to live in.
Has being a part of that impacted you?
I think because it is so easy to form a community, that's the best thing. When I first started out, I really looked for a community of musicians... For me, I'm really big into collaboration and Melbourne really benefits that.
Another thing about Australia, that I feel I've observed, maybe because we are in isolation and that sort of environment benefits outliers and crazies but sometimes the trap of that can be a lot of aesthetic exploration but not narrative exploration. A lot of the time you hear amazing Aussie producers saying, "I don't really care about the lyrics. I am just really interested in constructing the sounds." I'm interested in both of those things. I want to make music in service to telling a story. I learned that making this record.
What was your process in recording this album?
Up until this album I was mostly just recording songs with instruments and voice, and I was intimidated by the process of recording. I worked with these two guys from Melbourne and I learned over the process of production how much more compelling it is when you produce to the narrative of the song. Maybe that's self-evident, but I had never thought of it. Where, that synth line represents this narrative arch or this emotion. This is super-interesting to me. It's no longer just about the aesthetics.
What are your musical inspirations? And what were you raised listening to?
This is a hard one for me. I feel like I categorize it when I'm thinking about inspirations. As a singer, I have people who inspire me, like Thom Yorke or Donny Hathaway or Peter Cetera or even Gotye. Thom's ability to get inside a lyric and change his voice to convey that narrative is what does it for me. With Hathaway, it's about the emotion he gets through. As a writer, it's people like Joni Mitchell or Cat Stevens—the way they tell straightforward stories that everyone resonates with. As an arranger, or musically, I am really fascinated by Kate Bush and Feist, or Peter Gabriel. In terms of the whole approach to artistry, it's people like Sufjan Stevens. When Sufjan takes the stage, he inhabits the space of the song and it's phenomenal.
My folks raised us in an environment where it was always about the emotional or the spiritual—I never had any sense of cool or not cool
My parents were musicians and I grew up in a musical family. What I love about that is that my folks raised us in an environment where it was always about the emotional or the spiritual. I never had any sense of cool or not cool. It wasn't until I went to school that I found out that there were bands that weren't cool to listen to. My dad is Indonesian, and Indonesian as a language and culture is very direct, so the western music they love tends to be direct or literal. I was raised on a lot of Chicago. I know every song back to front. My dad loved The Beatles and James Taylor, and my mom sings as well, but Chicago was the thing growing up.
Ben Abraham's Sirens is out tomorrow, 4 March, via Secretly Canadian and available in vinyl or CD or on iTunes.

Before the Bush Administration revived the so-called "son of star wars" project, there were plenty of sceptics who questioned whether long-range missiles truly posed a credible threat to the United States. The sceptics included advisers to the Australian Government, who noted it was not unusual for Washington to magnify security threats and for such exaggerations to be used to justify military countermeasures which might not be necessary.
In theory, a defence system such as the planned $US1 trillion missile defence shield will intercept incoming missiles long before they hit, rendering even sophisticated weapons incapable of striking the US and its allies. Already it is changing the way the world thinks about defence. A missile shield would cement America's global military supremacy because Washington could confidently topple, for example, the North Korean regime, while protecting itself and its allies against possible nuclear retaliation. In doing so it would finally render redundant the Cold War doctrine of MAD - or mutually assured destruction.
Last year the US scrapped the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty drawn up with the then Soviet Union. This allowed both nations to maintain sufficient launch-ready nuclear missiles to destroy each other, thus ensuring the nuclear button would never be pressed. Washington has since announced plans to incorporate "mini-nukes" in its first-strike arsenal. This overturns conventional defence thinking which has long classified nuclear warheads as catastrophic weapons of last resort.
Because allies of the US would, in theory, be safe under a missile shield, the impetus for global disarmament would dissipate. In 1991, the US and Russia agreed to reduce gradually their nuclear stockpiles. Little progress has been made since then. Little should now be expected. Rather, a missile shield may provoke a new arms race among nations outside its protection, most notably China.
Of some 31,000 long-range nuclear weapons in the hands of the world's eight known nuclear powers, almost 95 per cent are in the US or Russia. Yet the shield's stated purpose is protection from rogue regimes, not established powers such as Russia and China. This suggests it is more about American hegemony than any imminent long-range missile threat from rogue nations. Global terrorism, on the other hand, cannot be contained by a high-tech defence system, no matter how sophisticated.
Technical barriers and immense cost mothballed the original "star wars" plan conceived by the Reagan administration in the 1980s. Some scientists dismiss the latest version of the shield as a stunning waste of public money, and say the accuracy required for it to work may never be achieved. This technical debate, however, is a diversion. Even the possibility of a missile shield is a significant global strategic development, an action with reactions. The Howard Government has indicated support for a revived US missile shield program. It should hasten slowly. At the very least it should provide a detailed account of the costs and obligations arising from such Australian support and allow a comprehensive debate to precede any final commitment to it.
Australia, we are regularly and loudly reminded, enjoys one of the world's finest lifestyles. There's space, affluence, opportunity and relative peace. More muffled is acknowledgement of the underbelly, those realities of society that generate less joy and pride. Youth and adolescent suicide are examples in which Australia ranks near top of the world. That's the tragic backdrop. Now consider this. Acknowledging that something must be done to counter rising depression and other emotional anxieties, the Government initiates well-intentioned national campaigns urging GPs to take mental illness more seriously. Doctors, often ill-equipped in diagnosis and treatment, turn to antidepressants, many of which are suspected of exacerbating self-harm tendencies in young recipients. That would seem to present an obvious remedy. Dangerous drugs should be removed.
The problem is that these drugs are beneficial when prescribed appropriately. In the right hands, they offer the depressed a coping mechanism, a means of dealing with an otherwise dark existence. Do you deny relief from debilitating depression for those helped by drugs so that others are spared adverse effects?
The Therapeutic Drugs Administration is considering following this month's decision by its British counterpart to stop the prescribing of antidepressants (apart from Prozac) for children. In the past year, at least 16,000 Australians under 20 - and 1000 children aged five to nine - were prescribed antidepressants. It's a sign of the times in the Western world: materially competitive but dislocated societies wittingly and unwittingly exposing their most vulnerable to enormous pressures to achieve and conform and, when things go off the rails, expecting cure-alls for complex illnesses with multilayered causes. Manipulating chemistry helps us to manage the excesses of mental illness. Drug therapy is not a cop-out by doctors, but neither is it a complete remedy.
Those whose lives have been disrupted by another's mentally ill behaviour will appreciate the contribution of drug treatment. But there is a wider challenge. Much more needs to be invested in the science of understanding mental illness and in facilities for its holistic treatment. On the issue of antidepressants, the Government should consider restricting to specialists their prescription for children under 12. But the main initiative must come from the community. It could start by reflecting on the circumstances that drive too many of our young into depression.

USF Bulls Basketball
March 15, 2012 by staff
USF Bulls Basketball, Stan Heath hears the critics who say USF's brand of defense-first basketball is downright ugly, and from where he's sitting, preparing for the Bulls' first NCAA Tournament appearance in 20 years, he appreciates the compliment.
"Ugly is in the eye of the beholder," Heath said after a Big East tournament game last week. "I love the way we play. … I don't apologize at all for how hard my guys defend. I'm proud of it. I think there's probably 90 percent of the coaches that would love to do the same thing. So there's no apologies."
The Bulls (20-13) play tonight in the first round against fellow No. 12 seed California, whose coach, Mike Montgomery, can appreciate USF's devotion to defense and the success that has come with it.
"I think it's smart," Montgomery said Tuesday. "You can win with defense. … Stan figured, 'Look, let's go defend first, let's use our size, our strength, maybe our length, and try and defend and give ourselves the best chance to win.' And that's obviously worked for him."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2012 (1747 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There are days when having a song stuck in your head can almost make you crazy. And there are other times -- say, for instance, when that song is something you like, rather than Achy Breaky Heart or Don't Worry, Be Happy -- when it can almost be a pleasant experience.
Such is the nature of the earworm -- for better or (the vast majority of the time) worse, it's an aural/cranial intrusion that becomes the relentless soundtrack of your day.
I mention the earworm concept here for two reasons: First, the new MuchMoreMusic series Wedding Band is necessarily full of tunes that have limitless inner-soundtrack potential; and second, the show itself might very well qualify as the TV-show version of an earworm.
It isn't brilliant or groundbreaking, but once you've seen it, it's very likely that you won't be able to get it out of your head.
Wedding Band is a lightweight but instantly appealing comedy/drama about a quartet of Seattle dudes who once had rock-star ambitions but have since downscaled their dream to being the best darned wedding/bar mitzvah/birthday party band in the northwest Washington state area.
The band -- aptly named Mother of the Bride -- consists of four fairly stock rock-band characters: Tommy (Brian Austin Green), lead vocalist and perpetually single pretty boy; Eddie (Peter Cambor), lightning-fingered guitarist and wife-whipped father of two; Barry (Derek Miller), drummer, wild man and inevitable Jack Black clone; and new guy Stevie (Harold Perrineau), talented African-Canadian session musician who's hungry for the camaraderie of a live-performing band.
The pilot episode opens with a montage of the band playing a variety of odd-themed events, augmented by a voice-over that explains -- to band newbie Stevie, as well as to the audience -- some of the basic rules of the wedding-band game.
These are important trade secrets, like: always spot the guy who has no chance of hooking up at the wedding -- make him an honorary member of the band, and he'll sneak drinks to you all night long; Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive must be played, because it's an anthem for every woman who's ever had her heart broken, and when you play it, find the female who's singing along loudest and you've found your post-gig hookup.
The guys are good at making the most of their small-scale stardom, but the lingering problem is how small that stardom currently is. Mother of the Bride is basically a B-list band on the Seattle wedding scene, and they won't become A-list until they impress the area's top event planner, Roxie Rutherford (Melora Hardin, formerly of The Office).
The opportunity to win her over arrives in the form of an unexpected visit from Tommy's ex-girlfriend. He thinks she wants to get back together; in fact, she's there to announce that she's getting married and she wants Tommy's band to play the wedding, which is being organized by Rutherford.
What follows, of course, is a frantic nail-biter of a gig in which Tommy's bruised romantic ego is distinctly at odds with his ambitious plans for the band. It's fun to watch, thanks mostly to the capable and credible manner in which the series' four lead actors hit all the right notes, both musically and comedically.
There's nothing new in Wedding Band, really -- if you've seen Wedding Crashers or The Wedding Singer, you'll recognize all the gags -- but this is a series that plays those oldies with a whimsical style that will leave you humming happily along as its jokes and songs are replayed, over and over, in an endless loop in that familiar place inside your head.

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
Hi , i would like to help .
Sounds like the memory stick is PC format ? NTFS maybe , what size it the stick , what do you use it with Mac only or PC & MAC . ??
It isn't a stick - it's an IOMEGA external 500gb drive. I figured it might be because it was for my PC before. Can I use it for both? Seems mad that I am try to just move .jpg files so a pain that I can't copy them. I can move them to a memory stick but not to this external hard drive.
permissions issues are another issue with USB sticks etc and moving files , esp photos . I can help with this . Firstly can you move files to the Mac desktop ? and can you move files back on to the USB stick ? Does this basic funtion work ?
Hi , ok the fault is the same . I think the disks are formatted NTFS , you can get your mac to work with NTFS with some additional tools installed. Mac OSX will only READ NTFS normally , you can WRITE , unless the tools have been added .
I have exported them to the desktop as I read that somewhere else - but can't get any further than that. My memory sticks would be too small for the photo's I want to move (used somebody elses before) so just want to move them straight to external drive. I was going to get a stick and copy to stick and then use PC laptop to copy to hard drive - but this isn't a great solution everytime I want to back them up.
Oh OK - that explains why I can see everything on it but can't write back to it. Thanks - what tools?
Can you write to the disks from the Mac ? If not then this is the problem .
Yes , Mac OSX works with FAT32 normally , for both READ and WRITE . but there is a 4GB limit on file size .
FAT32 is the older PC file format .
write to what disks?
ok , one second and i will get the info..
Any thoughts?
Always copy your photos from the external to the Mac desktop , and then add to the iphoto library . this can avoid other permissions issues . Setting up NTFS for PC / Mac HD and memory sticks :-Firstly downloading NTFS tools for the mac is a great help when using PC format disks. Format your USB stick as NTFS or FAT32 to use to transfer your data to the Mac , and it should work fine .Always safely un-mount "or remove " your connected HD disks or USB memory sticks by dragging them "The desktop icon " to the Trashcan / Eject button in the lower Dock right hand side Trash / Eject on Mac OSX .1 Get NTFS tools here for OSX :- http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ 2 Install and reboot , you will see an extra control panel in the System preferences for NTFS Preferences on the Mac. "See the control panel in the :- Apple menu / System preferences , NTFS control panel pane " .3 . Launch Disk utilities on the Mac , use Spotlight search to find the application and launch with a left click on the name found in the search results. 4 Once NTFS tools are installed on your Mac you can format NTFS in the Disk utilities application on the Mac , Found in Applications / Utilities .If you need extra help doing this please ask :)Extra help :-You now can now read and write NTFS disks on the Mac , this means you can use an external drive or USB memory stick with a PC as well as the Mac as you require.1 Load Disk utilities "Optional instructions for format "2 Select your external drive in the left column list . See the current format and other volume information ,This is now displayed to the bottom of the screen window within Disk utilities .3 Partition the drive and format with NTFS and GUID table. If needed .If the drive or memory card is not NTFS .4 For HD disks to be used on the Mac only , please use the Apple standard HFS+ or Mac OS Extended (journaled ) formats .You can now use the NTFS volume formats , both your Mac and PC can use those formats to read and write data. The reason you need NTFS tools , and use the format is that you can still use files above 4gb with NTFS , Fat 32 can only use files up to 4gb and is obsolete in my opinion . I hope this gets you up and running. This is a cross compatible solution for your Mac setup and future use.Remember , If you need to back up files from Mac to PC use the NTFS standard for your External HD disks and USB memory cards .If the USB Memory card is less than 4gb you could still use FAT32 , as it makes no difference here .Macs with OSX can read and write FAT32 format out of the box .But only read NTFS and this is why NTFS 3G tools or similar are desirable .Please note :-Time machine only works with Mac OS Extended / (journaled ) formatsI hope this helps .Thanks.
Thanks very much for your help - I will give that a try. Jane
You dont need to format your disks if they are already working ok by the way . :) just install the tools and test ..
:) yes this should fix 95% of the problems .
Please can you press accept on the answer once happy , also please let me know if you have any issue , i will give extra info to fix permissions on photos and files if needed .

Our Mission
Shit is bleak and there is a point when when you look around and say "Why bother?" These days it seems everyone does. Well, we continue to bother.
We do this because we believe the world is dying, and we've gone through the 5 stages of grief – Denial – Anger- Bargaining – Depression – Acceptance… and Swellco & Swellco is a direct result of this 5th step. We see the dark times ahead as the Empire begins to burn, and we have made peace with that.
The overwhelming hordes of literal and figurative barbarians are at the gate, and we think it's time to hand out fiddles.
Money Guns Weed, Death By Party, Hangover Makeout and all Swellco & Swellco sites are being constructed as a hospice during the great decline we are witnessing. We feel a lot of people need protection from the cold.
We recognize the American Dream is no longer in our grasp by playing their game. It is truly rigged and there is no way to win by their rules. But if you can't win, why even play? Why not honestly create a new reality?
We set out to do just that. In our world, there are no market researchers trying to dissect us in order to water down and wash out our passions. In our world, there are no corporations steam-shoveling our futures into their pockets as Judas politicians give excuses. In our world, there are no religious fanatics trying to beat us down with their dogma and rules. Maybe those things are all still there, but we no longer allow them to affect us.
Here, Drag Queens are role models and porn stars are saints. Here there are no whores, there are no losers, there are no judgments. There is joy in the realm of honest consent and, within that realm, anything is possible. Straight, gay, master, slave, clown, goddess, nerd, twenty-year-old or senior citizen, everyone comes to our party. There is only us and them.
We take the blind ignorant narcissism and excess that is the national symbol of their control and make it a conscious insolent act. Our hedonism is an act of defiance. We loot the buffet as the ship starts to sink, and we give the finger as we drink from the last bottle of champagne.
Why do we do this?
Because there is no reason to cry when you can laugh, and there is no reason to stress about your life when you can run away and join the circus.
-R.E. Brown, Executive Director

Walt Disney Pictures has confirmed that the first screenings of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" will be held on May 24 starting at 8 pm.
Applying the same strategy Sony conducted for its blockbuster flick "Spider-Man 3", Walt Disney Pictures has announced that it will also bring up its highly-anticipated "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" to the surface earlier than its official release date.
Yes, the forthcoming seafaring tale will come to the presence of its fans on Thursday, May 24 instead, starting at 8 pm. It is expected that the flick can lead Disney to conceivably regain bragging rights for the top opening frame after the record set by "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" got shattered by "Spider-Man 3."
The third installment of the hit adventure series, "Worlds End" brings back Gore Verbinski to the director's seat with Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio returning as the screenwriters. Pic will encounter its world premiere on Saturday, May 19 in Disneyland, home of the ride that inspired the movie and where the first two films in the trilogy debuted.

Geelong have seen off another AFL challenger, counter-punching superbly to beat Essendon by 28 points.
Geelong pulled away in the second half of a pulsating contest on Friday night to win 17.11 (113) to 11.19 (85), meaning they are the only unbeaten team after seven rounds.
Speedy midfielder Steven Motlop and Steve Johnson starred for the Cats and Mathew Stokes kicked three goals.
The much-anticipated blockbuster attracted a capacity crowd of 53,014 - the fourth-biggest AFL attendance at Etihad Stadium.
The Bombers' first loss of the season was sealed when they kicked a wasteful 1.8 in the third term despite controlling play for an extended period.
They will be kicking themselves after having 30 scoring shots to 28 for the game.
When the Bombers were pressing in the third term, it was 25 to 20 and yet they trailed by nine points.
Key defender Tom Lonergan then kicked a crucial goal to wrest the momentum away from the Bombers.
Lonergan was influential as the Cats continued to move their key position players around the ground to great effect.
Geelong started the second half with a four-point lead and took that out to a decisive 33-point advantage early in the last term.
Essendon were far from disgraced and had Geelong under intense pressure in the second term.
The Bombers led by 21 points midway through the quarter.
But a feature of Geelong's season so far has been their amazing ability to recover from early deficits.
They kicked the last four goals of the half to negate the Bombers' strong play.
Geelong were handicapped early when they lost run-with midfielder Taylor Hunt, who suffered a shoulder injury in the first term.
Essendon small forward Alwyn Davey was subbed off in the third term with a hamstring injury.
Essendon won the clearances 41-22, but Geelong negated that advantage with much better counter-attack.
While Cats coach Chris Scott acknowledges they keep having to fight their way out of tight spots, he is pleased with his team's start.
"I agree with the assessment of some people that we might have been lucky at times," he said.
"Some people would argue it's a little bit more than luck - it happens a little bit too often for it to be luck."
Scott praised key forward James Podsiadly, who went back in the second term and played a crucial role as Geelong stopped Essendon's surge.
"Late in that second quarter, he was as important as anyone," Scott said.
While Johnson had a game-high 36 disposals, he was also wasteful at times, particularly early in the game.
"He did some very good things and some very bad things," Scott said.
"When you go for the one-out-of-10 option a lot, you're going to miss a few."
Essendon coach James Hird said his team wasted opportunities, but would learn a lot from the game.
"We certainly felt we were in the game and closer than the scoreline said," Hird said.
"We would have liked to have used the ball a bit better in the second quarter when we had a (21 point) lead," he said.
"Also, kicking 1.9 never helps."

> Clayton icon Parties in the Park is making a change of location and time for its upcoming season. This year, the party is moving to Meramec Avenue, which will be closed between Forsyth Boulevard and Maryland Avenue. The event will still be held on the second Wednesday of the month from May through September from 5 to 8:30 p.m., a half-hour longer than previous years. Even though it won't be at Shaw Park anymore, look for the name to remain the same.
> We've learned that Chef JACK MACMURRAY III has left Sage Urban American Grill to start a new restaurant. The new venture is still in the planning stages, we're told. JEFF SCHAFFER has stepped up from the kitchen ranks into the role of executive chef at the popular Soulard eatery.
> Earlier this year we mentioned that Select Wines would be debuting soon in the CWE. Since then there's been a slight change. The fine wine purveyor, located at 4906 Laclede Ave., is now called West End Wines. The shop opened it doors Feb. 1. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and there will be evening availability for private tasting events. Check out their wares at westendwines.com.
> The food truck trend is certainly in full effect in St. Louis. Mangia Mobile is the latest addition to the fleet. This family-run concern is serving up Italian cuisine inspired by Sicilain street food. CATHERINE DAAKE, who founded the project with siblings THOMAS and ALEX, says many of the recipes they're using have been handed down from their grandmother. In addition to offerings like toasted ravioli and arancini, they'll also have Chauvin Coffee and bread from Fazio's Bakery onboard. Daake says the truck will be based at the intersection of 8th and Walnut Streets downtown, but will be traveling all over the area. For menu info and to find out how to follow the truck, go to mangiamobile.com.
> We told you a while back that Local Harvest Grocery was going to be moving to more spacious accommodations just up the road at 3108 Morganford Road. Well, the time has come! The store announced that the doors will open at the new space on Sunday, Feb. 27.
> The space formerly occupied by HUBERT KELLER's SLeeK at Lumiere Place will be the future home of Stadium Sports Bar and Grill sometime this spring. Keller's other Lumiere restaurant, Burger Bar Saint Louis, will continue on as-is.
> Cocktail fans, head over to the bar at Eclipse Restaurant at the Moonrise Hotel in the U City Loop on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and take advantage of what bar manager LUCAS RAMSEY has dubbed Bad Apple Cocktails. Each week Ramsey and his crew will present three themed cocktails, based mostly on his whims, and take your cocktail questions. Try them all or just one, and if you find one that strikes your fancy, recipes will be available.
