Longshot he gets either but i would love to see him get one or even both records. Hell if Luck can continue to improve and nobody else emerges as a receiving target he might just do it.
9 receptions and 112 yards per game.
Marvin's reception total is a pace that is hard to keep up with. Welker has been on pace to break it a couple of times, but just a "good" week with 6 catches and 80 yards can kill you, along with late season weather issues (maybe less of a concern for RW). Plus those 10 reception games are likely to take a toll on your body.
It is more likely for an outside guy like Reggie to do it vs. a slot guy who is likely to get creamed if targeted on every down. Impressive to say the least, since you wouldn't call him a burner by outside WR standards, or a guy you target with the jump ball-type pass very often.
I haven't seen much Colts action thus far frankly, but from highlights it seems like he is lining up in multiple places, unlike in the past, correct? That versatility certainly helps make the defense unable to load up on limiting him by one strategy.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Marvin's reception record has to be one of the most impressive NFL records ever. I think it will stand for a long long time.
Yes, Reggie has been all over the field. Spent a good portion of the GB game in the slot actually where he got to line up 1 v 1 vs. Charles Woodson's corpse.
Reggie is AFC player of the week.... officially...
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
I doubt that will happen. Reggie had a great game and a great season so far. There is a long way to go.... ...
Does anyone besides me wonder about how much the Colts would've benefitted from a house cleaning in the coaching staff and FO a while back? True, Luck is relying on Wayne somewhat... but Wayne is also making himself a fine target too. I don't think the constant movement for Wayne at the los should be discounted. It's obviously working. And it's not like it's some radical idea. We were stuck in a rut and nobody apparently wanted to consider there might be a better way than the system as it was being run (on both sides of the ball).

I think a lot of these offensive 'problems' came from Peyton. Reggie ALWAYS to the left. Marvin ALWAYS to the right. As great as the years Peyton had here were, defenses never had to worry about alignment or deceptive plays. They knew what was coming and while it was often tough to stop it because of the talent of Reg, Marvin & Peyton - it gave the D a slight - SLIGHT - advantage.
Peyton said 'this is what we're going to do' and the coach, O-co-ord and everyone else just said 'Sure, OK. Whatever you want.'
It sure is nice to see another chapter in the playbook.
That would've sucked.2. Wayne's world: Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne deserved plenty of props for his 13-catch, 212-yard performance to help beat Green Bay, Chuckstrong style. But he deserves even more applause for returning to Indianapolis one season after the Colts finished 2-14 and Wayne had at least one better offer elsewhere. The one team that made a significant push to sign Wayne last offseason was the New England Patriots, according to league sources. The Patriots offered Wayne more money than the Colts, yet the veteran wide receiver felt a certain sense of loyalty to Indianapolis, something not always evident in sports today. Wayne wound up passing up the Patriots' offer, accepting a slightly less lucrative deal with the Colts and returning to Indianapolis to help usher in the new era of football.
I agree, although I do have to admit those times where they did change it up it always seemed to devastate the defenses.
And way to go Wayne. So glad he stayed. But seriously Loyalty in pro sports...the hell?
He was absolutely fearless. He dominated the middle of the football field like a Tight End. And when he felt like it, he slayed cornerbacks on the outside and down the field unmercifully. I dont recall a more dominant performance like that. I mean, you look at guys like Calvin Johnson or Cruz and see these amazing stats, but I never walk away from watching those games, thinking about how they dominated an entire defense. Here's a brilliant break down of the coverage on Wayne, that just goes to show you how dominant he was.
Also, guess what. I dont blame Reggie for that poor performance against Revis two years ago because i realized something. The Colts and Peyton Manning went into that game game planning to stay away from Revis. They were playing scared. However, against Woodson and Tramon Williams, two excellent cover DB's, Andrew Luck clearly didnt know any better. He threw to Reggie 20 times. He didnt over-respect the ability of those guys and decide to take Reggie out of the game plan. He went to him early and often and because he did, Reggie dominated. It was one of the more special sports performances i can remember in Indianapolis.
I have heard some chatter, but I just don't see a WR winning the MVP in this day and age.
Reggie's pace is now 131, Welker 128, Percy Harvin 131.
amazing stat: Welker's 48 catches come from being targeted only 51 times (94%). That is so off-the-scale efficient, no other WR comes remotely close to it. Harvin might be next best at 79%.

I don't think many receivers have been MVP..... so I agree with you...
Smothered Chicken!
He won't be breaking the record, but he still leads the league in receiving yards
Yea, I never expected him to keep up a pace of 150 yards/game lol. That early 200 yard game skewed things. The fact he's still leading the league in yardage at his age is just amazing. To even be in that range is just awesome.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
What's the record. How many receptions/yards does he need

AT&T Southeast, Communications Workers Of America Reach Handshake On Tentative Agreements In Contract Negotiations
Handshake on Agreements Comes on Heels of Tentative Agreements in AT&T Midwest, AT&T Corp
Dallas, Texas, August 07, 2012
AT&T* today announced that AT&T Southeast (BellSouth Telecommunications) has reached a handshake on a tentative agreement with the Communications Workers of America in contract negotiations. Additionally, AT&T reached handshakes on tentative agreements with the CWA on two other smaller Southeast regional agreements covering AT&T Billing Southeast and Southeast Utility Operations.
Paperwork is being finalized. All three agreements will be submitted to the union's membership for a ratification vote, and collectively cover more than 22,000 AT&T wireline employees in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
The three-year agreements include wage increases in each year and modest pension increases. Health care benefits remain among the best in the country.
The agreements come on the heels of tentative agreements AT&T reached on July 21 in wireline contract negotiations for the AT&T Midwest region and AT&T Corp. (CWA Telecommunications and Technology Office), where contracts expired on April 7. The Midwest agreement covers more than 13,000 employees in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The AT&T Corp. agreement covers about 5,700 employees located throughout the country.
In addition, AT&T Midwest on July 13 announced an agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on a one-year contract extension covering nearly 7,000 wireline employees. Most of the IBEW employees covered under the contract are members of IBEW Local 21 and are in Illinois and northwestern Indiana; the rest are spread across the country.
AT&T continues to seek agreements in the East and West regions, where wireline contracts expired April 7. The employees in those regions perform the same type of work as those in all of these CWA and IBEW contracts where tentative agreements have been reached.
More information will be posted on www.att.com/corewirelinebargaining as it is available.

HOUSTON - Gallbladder cancer is rare, affecting about 7,000 Americans a year.
The disease is often discovered at a late stage, making for a poor prognosis.
The gallbladder stores bile and is tucked under the liver. Dr. Rachna Shroff, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at UT MD Anderson, told KPRC Local 2 the gull bladder's hidden location means the cancer can often grow undetected.
"I always refer to gallbladder cancer as the great masquerader. About 50 percent of gallbladder cancers are found incidentally through laproscopic removal of your gallbladder," said Shroff.
Symptoms can include abdominal pain, fever, nausea or jaundice.
"Prognosis (of gall bladder cancer) is not as good because it likes to spread to the liver, the lungs and the abdominal cavity," said Dr. Shroff.
There is no known cause, but there are risk factors. The disease is more common in women than men. Risk increases with age and it's most common in those who've had gall stones in the past.
Dr. Shroff said that a diet high in fat and not as rich in fruits and vegetables can lead to chronic inflammation of the gall bladder and gall stones.
She also told Local 2 that the average survival rate for advanced stage gall bladder cancer is just under a year.

For essential information for our reviewers, please see detailed information about the Mathematical Reviews Database.
MathSciNet® is an electronic publication offering access to a carefully maintained and easily searchable database of reviews, abstracts and bibliographic information for much of the mathematical sciences literature. Over 100,000 new items are added each year, most of them classified according to the Mathematics Subject Classification. Authors are uniquely identified (by their MR Author ID), enabling a search for publications by individual author rather than by name string. Continuing in the tradition of the paper publication, Mathematical Reviews (MR), which was first published in 1940, expert reviewers are selected by a staff of professional mathematicians to write reviews of the current published literature; over 80,000 reviews are added to the database each year. Extending the MR tradition, MathSciNet® contains almost 3 million items and over 1.7 million direct links to original articles. Bibliographic data from retrodigitized articles dates back to the early 1800s. Reference lists are collected and matched internally from approximately 550 journals, and citation data for journals, authors, articles and reviews is provided. This web of citations allows users to track the history and influence of research publications in the mathematical sciences.
January 3, 2017
Search Result Sorting and Faceting
Search result lists are now sortable in a number of different ways, such as forward and reverse chronologically and by citations.
Search result lists now include facets that allow users to filter and refine searches by author, journal, or year. Users are able to "search within results" to refine their queries even further.
Watch a video explaining some of the new sorting and faceting improvements.
January 1, 2016
New Author Profile personalization element added
A new element of personalization is now available: Full name in native script. You may enter your name in any script encoded in UTF-8. This personalization element adds to the three personalization elements added in 2014: personal photograph, personal e-mail address, and personal URL.
Public Author Profile page
A portion of the information available on a MathSciNet Author Profile page is now freely available outside of a MathSciNet subscription. Any personalization added to the profile is part of the freely available data. The URL that points to an MR Author Profile page is of the form
http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/MRAuthorID/<MR Author ID Number>
For example, the link to David Hilbert's page is:
http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/MRAuthorID/85745When someone who has access to MathSciNet clicks a link of this form, they are taken to the full author profile in MathSciNet. Everyone else is taken to the freely available short version of the MR Author Profile. It is an ideal link to place on your personal home page.
June 5, 2015
Complete run of Crelle's journal added
MathSciNet now contains DML entries for Crelle's Journal (Journal für die Reine und Angewandte Mathematik) from 1826 through 1939, adding to the regular entries from when coverage in Mathematical Reviews began in 1940. This is thanks to the generosity of the publisher, de Gruyter, who contributed to MR the metadata that made construction of DML entries possible. The contribution of data from de Gruyter joins the contributions from the American Mathematical Society, JSTOR, Oxford University Press, Project Euclid, NUMDAM, and Springer-Verlag, making a total of 79,910 DML entries added since 2003.
Author Profile Personalization
Authors indexed in MathSciNet can now add personal information to their Author Profile Page. Initially, this personal information will consist of:
- a personal photograph,
- personal e-mail address, and
- personal URL.
This information can be added in whole or in part and modified at any time, after AMS Login. All that is required is a valid AMS Login. To add this personal information, first navigate to your profile page, using an Author Search. Then click the Edit button to login. The first time you do this you will be asked to verify that the author is yourself. In this initial release, personalization will be available to anyone with access to MathSciNet. In the future, it will be extended to anyone with an AMS Login.
October 1, 2012
Preliminary Data
MathSciNet now includes Preliminary Data items, which are created from bibliographic data received directly from publishers. This data allows users to view early information about new papers in mathematics while full processing, including author identification and editorial decisions, is ongoing.
Preliminary Data items are marked as such until processing is complete. The initial group of publishers who have agreed to provide preliminary data feeds includes the American Mathematical Society, the Canadian Mathematical Society, the European Mathematical Society, the Mathematical Association of America, SIAM, Elsevier, and Springer. Publishers interested in participating in the Preliminary Data program are invited to contact: email@example.com.
In addition, new MathSciNet item tags allow users to instantly assess at what stage an item is in the review process. The seven tags are: Preliminary Data, Pending, Reviewed, Expansion, DML, Indexed, and Thesis. For more information and detailed descriptions of each item tag, please visit: www.ams.org/mathscinet/help/fullitem_help_full.html.
May 21, 2012
Remote Access
Remote Access allows authorized users to 'pair' their mobile devices--tablets, laptops, smartphones--with their host institution's subscription to MathSciNet, as well as to the institutional subscriptions to AMS, and AMS-distributed, journals and eBooks. Once 'paired', the user will have access to those subscriptions without having to be connected to the host institution's network. The pairing will last for 90 days. It can be renewed for another 90 days at any time. More information about Remote Access is available at www.ams.org/remoteaccess.

Reference Lists from AMS Journals prior to 1997
The number of Reference List Journals has grown from 33 in 2001 to 485 today. Currently, reference lists from new Reference List Journals are added to the Mathematical Reviews Database back to 2000 at the earliest. A few journals from the earliest days of the project have reference lists back to 1997. The reference lists derived from the retrodigitization of the complete run of AMS journals have now been added. As a result, the oldest reference lists in MathSciNet are now associated with issues from the year 1900. See, for example, MR1501215. It is hoped that more publishers of Reference List Journals will contribute their reference list data from retrodigitization projects, thus enhancing the richness of this resource in MathSciNet.
September 27, 2011
MathSciNet® Tutorials
In response to requests from MathSciNet users and librarians, MathSciNet now offers tutorials on how to get the most out of searching.

Moore dazzles again, No. 7 Beavs blank Trojans
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Andrew Moore threw 7 2/3 innings in a scoreless start as he and the seventh-ranked Oregon State baseball team shut out USC, 3-0, in front a season-best 3,103 fans at Goss Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Michael Conforto homered and Tyler Smith and Ryan Barnes drove in runs for the Beavers, who now look for a sweep of the Trojans Sunday in a 12:05 p.m. PT start at Goss Stadium.
Moore held the Trojans scoreless through 7 2/3 innings, scattering four singles while issuing two walks and hitting one batter. He induced inning-ending double plays in the fifth and seventh innings.
The Oregon State (33-8 overall, 13-4 Pac-12 Conference) defense was stellar behind Moore as Max Gordon ended USC's third with a diving catch of a sinking liner and Conforto threw out a runner attempting to go to third on a single in the eighth. Jake Rodriguez threw out a runner trying to advance to third on a ball in the dirt later in the eighth, and Smith turned a double play in the seventh on a grounder that skipped off the mound.
Moore, who ended the game with just one strikeout, got the win to improve to 8-1 this season. His quality start marked the 11th consecutive in a weekend game for the OSU staff - and 12 of 13 overall - as Moore won his fourth game at home.
Tony Bryant picked up his first save of the season with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, which helped the Beavers to their eighth shutout of the season. That is the most in the Pac-12 this season and tied for second nationally.
USC's (16-25, 8-12) starter, Wyatt Strahan, worked 7 2/3 innings in the Trojans' loss. He allowed five hits and three runs while walking three and striking out three. The righty took the loss to drop to 2-3 on the year.
Barnes opened the game's scoring when he reached on an infield single in the second. The ball deflected off USC second baseman James Roberts, That enabled Dylan Davis to score from second.
Conforto extended the Beavers' lead to 2-0 with a solo home run in the fourth. It cleared the left field fence near the foul pole and snapped a 20-game streak without a home run for the sophomore.
Smith gave the Beavers an insurance run in the eighth. His second single of the game scored Rodriguez from third.
The clubs complete their three-game series Sunday starting at 12:05 p.m. Tickets can be purchased, beginning at 10 a.m., at the Goss Stadium ticket office.

So this is what it's like to wander through the ear of a secretive collective of conspiracy theorists. By the sound of their latest LP, 3:33 (Parallel Thought) decided to teleport somewhere without oxygen. At its best, In the Middle Of Infinity pumps like the score to NASA's Curiosity Rover. It's ethereal, provocative, while terrifyingly skeletal simultaneously – all things rolling through the cosmos is supposed to be.
There's no telling if 3:33 had a particular style of emcee in mind when crafting this collection of instrumentals, despite having Bone Thugs-N-Harmony as the impetus. "ITMOI-4," with its crashing symbols and hammering drums that seem to detonate on impact, rumbles lovely in a fashion only suitable for a Homeboy Sandman or a Roc Marciano or a Doom or any emcee comfortable kicking it off-kilter Vordul. Same can be said for "ITMOI-6" and "ITMOI-10." Spacier offerings like "ITMOI-2" and "ITMOI-7" seem to minimize the drums or relegate them to shorter breaks within the track, accentuating the background zips and echos that have become 3:33's trademark. There are few moments that incite a random off the top freestyle or an impromptu two-step; few moments of fodder for static Rap fans, yet still plenty of marvelous mood swings to tempt interest. "White Room" is not only an album's length on its own (41 minutes-plus), but an expansive clinic in experimental Hip Hop instrumentation.
In The Middle Of Infinity oddly dances in a realm few producers dare to revel: So close to the edges of what conventionally screams Hip Hop that many heads might miss the spaceship. Any samples that 3:33 might've included are unrecognizable, for example. Any sliver of digestible brown-nosing were seemingly left on the cutting room floor, if they ever existed. Undoubtedly, it takes work to develop the talent required to create a sound bed as rapt with ingenuity as this project, but unfortunately it also takes work to repeatedly listen to it. By 106 minutes' end, In The Middle Of Infinity is a brilliant one-time spin that has chronically light replay value. Sometimes that's the risk of pushing too far past the margins.

To move toward this recommendation, states may use multiple policy levers, starting from different points. Potential state policies include the following:
Require in state licensing that child care providers receive pre-service training that includes information on age and culturally appropriate assessment for infants and toddlers, including the benefits, recommended screening schedule and information on connecting families to services.
Embed developmental screening, referrals, and follow up services for infants and toddlers in the levels of a state quality rating and improvement system.

David Copperfield
Magician and illusionist David Copperfield is a media-savvy entertainer who has made his name through relentless touring and live performances, along with television specials featuring grand-scale illusions performed at well-known world landmarks such as the Great Wall of China.
AppealHe landed Claudia Schiffer, so what more do you need? In 2001, two years after they had split up, Claudia Schiffer called David Copperfield her "first love" and that he will "always be special" to her. Let's not forget the tens of millions of dollars he's been known to make in a year, coupled with his sensational showmanship. In short, the man has some serious woman magnetism.
For a mostly average-looking guy from Jersey, that ain't bad.
SuccessUp until very recently, David Copperfield was something of a regular on Forbes' annual rich lists as one of the top-earning celebrities in the world, averaging somewhere around $50 million a year in revenues from show tours and the sale of merchandise. At times he has performed an unbelievable 500 shows a year.
He's also won an Emmy, landed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, been knighted by the French, and been given a Living Legend Award from the U.S. Library of Congress. And then there's Musha Cay, that private island cluster he owns in the Bahamas.
David Copperfield BiographyAt the amazing age of 12, the man born David Seth Kotkin in New Jersey became the youngest person ever admitted to the Society of American Magicians. At the astonishing age of just 16, he taught a course on magic at New York University. By then he had adopted the stage name of David Copperfield, after the Charles Dickens novel.
Two years later, he enrolled at Fordham University but lasted just three weeks before being cast in the musical The Magic Man. However, just a year later in 1975, he was headlining his own shows in Hawaii, and soon, both ABC and CBS came calling.
david copperfield and the statue of libertyOn a TV special in 1983, David Copperfield performed one of his more memorable magic tricks, seeming to have made the Statue of Liberty disappear. A year later, he performed an illusion that saw him "float" over the Grand Canyon, and in 1986, he appeared to walk directly through the Great Wall of China.
In 1990, he won his only Emmy with The Magic of David Copperfield XII: The Niagara Falls Challenge when he appeared to levitate over the falls. His numerous other TV credits include appearances on Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Saturday Night Live, Scrubs, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Larry King, and more.
david copperfield gives back with project magicIn 1982, the magician established a rehabilitation program for people learning to use their hands and arms again called Project Magic. The program involves the method of sleight-of-hand to help patients develop coordination. Project Magic is used at over 1,000 facilities worldwide and is accredited by the American Occupational Therapy Association.
David Copperfield met supermodel Claudia Schiffer the way you would expect a magician might: in 1993, he brought her onstage as his "volunteer" at a Berlin event. They were engaged three months later and planned to marry the following year although they never did. During that time, Claudia Schiffer would often be part of her husband's act: he would make her levitate, disappear, reappear, and then he would saw her in half.
Perhaps this bit of hocus-pocus contributed to their ultimate break-up in 1999. Nonetheless, according to Claudia Schiffer they remain very close friends.
david copperfield's legal problemsIn 2006, David Copperfield claimed that the Fountain of Youth existed on the private island cluster he owns in the Bahamas. Since this announcement, he's had nothing but trouble.
First he and some assistants were robbed at gunpoint. Then, in 2007, the FBI and a Seattle federal grand jury opened investigations into David Copperfield's alleged rape of a woman staying at the resort on his private island. He was later, allegedly, caught on a recording trying to bribe her with a $2 million cash payment. Then later that year he was sued by a promoter for allegedly pulling out of dozens of scheduled shows despite accepting over $2 million from the promoters.

I just got my new Thinkpad W700 2757 CTO. I want to make a clean hard disk image using Acronis TIH 2010 boot disk before I load anything on the machine. However, I just cannot get the machine to boot from the CD. I made the CD the fist boot device in the setup, and excluded the USB FDD. The Win 7 just keep starting up normally. What am I missing?
Your help/advice will be appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I have stumbled across this a few times myself....can be very frustrating...especially when attempting to update the BIOS on a 64-bit system (CD ISO required).
A couple ways that I have been able to do it:
1) Boot to BIOS....hit the ESC key to exit. If you have the ODD listed first in the boot order, it should boot to that drive.
2) F12 at the splash screen and select the ODD from the list.
I have seen it take more than once to work.
I'm having the same problem and my patience is running out. I have spent the last couple of hours trying every possible configuration to boot a cdrom (CD-R). I have booted the same cdrom without any problem from an IBM thinkpad T40p. I can also see the contents of the cdrom from within my windows 7 installation on this w700. Mine is a 2757-cto as well. I have tried your steps without success. I have been on hold the entire time with your tech support line. WTF? Has anyone figured out what is up with this. If I can't boot a cdrom, the factory restore disks are worthless. Does anyone ever check to see if these things actually work?
Let me restate:
Does anyone know of a solution for a w700 2757-CTO that will allow me to boot a cdrom from the included DVDRAM drive?
Allright, if you have this problem there are only a few (haha) things that can be wrong:
1. The BIOS is not setup up to allow booting from the dvdram drive or it's not the first one checked.
2. The cdrom media you are using is incompatible with the drive or it isn't bootable.
3. The optical drive is bad.
4. The BIOS or system board is bad.
The first two are really the most common problems -- on any computer. So here is the sequence to troubleshoot before you call tech support so you don't waste a lot of time:
1. Get several bootable CDs that you know work. I recommend using the factory recovery disk you have created as well as a cdrom that is a commercial one (say an old windows install disk).
2. Next check that the BIOS is set up to allow booting from the dvdram drive.
Reboot the computer and press F1 or whatever is needed to get into "Setup." Once in there, look for the "Startup" option, then the "Boot" option. You should be able to follow the on screen instructions to position the dvdram drive as the first bootable device. While you are in here, record the version and date of the BIOS. If you can't figure this out, get a friend to help you or call tech support.
2. Save your settings and reboot. The cdrom should boot. If it doesn't, try rebooting again and press F12. You should get a boot menu that allows you to select the device. Try selecting the cdrom and see if it boots. Try this sequence with each of the cdroms you selected in step 1.
3. If none of that worked and you happen to have a compatible optical drive sitting around (or maybe a friend?) swap them out and repeat step 2.
4. If you have gotten this far, congratulations, you have saved yourself some time and maybe some real heartache. Can you imagine if this had happened when you were trying to restore your hard drive at some later time. Like when trying to resell your laptop. Or how about trying to boot a recovery disk in order to recover valuable data!! Now put on your patience cap, call up tech support (be nice), and explain the procedure you just went through. Expect them to ask you to reflash your BIOS. Make sure you give them the version and date of your BIOS you recorded in step 2. If the BIOS they want you to reflash with is the same version, what you're doing is most likely a waste of time. Ask for a repair box or the phone number of a local certified warranty service provider.
Good luck,
I know just enough to be dangerous so take that into consideration.
Have you tried recovering with the bios config for the sata drive(s) set to "Compatibility".
I have a continuing problem noted below but I have been able to boot in this mode.
I am going to jump over into this forum from another "won't boot from CD" forum because I have a sneaking suspicion that there is something going on here other than the normal problems.
I too just received a W700ds 2757-CTO in late January 2010.
I accidentally ordered the computer configured as a raid0 when I wanted a raid1. I realized this a week after ordering it 12/11/2009. I called technical support and they said no problem just call when I received it. Well I did just that, without going into the obvious details and have yet to get it to boot from a CD when the bios is set to RAID. In fact the only way I have gotten it to boot - and I have tried about every combination of events I can think of - is to set the config raid to "Compatibility". With the compatibility setting and the two disk set up as non-raid the system will pick up and build and appears to be a normal one-harddrive operating system. The one thing I have not tried is to go back to a raid0 and see if it rebuilds. I'm not sure what that would tell me even if it did.
I've recovered it now about 5 times because everytime you try to set up the raid it then has to be recovered. The screen I always get to when it is not going to rebuild is the screen that lists the boot devices and has noted that no operating system was found.
I've talked to numberous Atlanta Tech support personnel and they set me new Lenovo Recovery Disks but they act just like the ones I built. They also sent out a new CD-DVD rom drive but no change.
Is it possible that something was set at the factory that I cannot access that is causing this.
I believe that RAID0 disks don't have to "dynamic" disks but RAID1 disks do. Everytime I use recovery disks - and even some created after I had set the hard drives to "dynamic" in windows 7 come up as "Basic". How can I set these to dynamic before trying to create a RAID1 in the set up utility?
Thoughts on why it will only boot from the "Compatibility" mode?
Is there a way to get into more detail in the boot sequence to analyze or try something? Software - routines?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
It has taken 3 sessions with Lenovo support, but I can now boot from CD. The trick for my machine was not only to ensure the proper boot order, but also change the BIOS setting: Config -> Serial ATA (SATA) -> SATA Controller Mode Options -> Compatibility (from AHCI). When this is done, the machine boots from CD.
I have no idea what this latter setting does, and why is is not documented in the instructions for using factory recovery CDs. I made sure to correct the instructions on my set of CDs. If someone knows the answer, please let me know.
Interesting Charles10. Thanks for posting that. Changing that BIOS setting to compatibility mode allows me to boot from the cdrom but then when I boot from the hard drive I get an immediate blue screen. In fact, the behavior is perfectly described here:
Enabling AHCI or RAID after installing the operating system is not recommended or supported
This is not a solution for my case because the vendor clearly doesn't support changing the setting after the OS is installed.
What's strange is that the computer already had AHCI enabled and I (presumably) disabled it by going to compatibility mode. Switching the BIOS setting back to AHCI restores the system to the original behavior. However, Windows detects "a problem" and wants to do a repair before booting. Now I can boot windows 7 but not the cdrom.
Just for fun, I changed the setting to RAID (I don't have a raid system) and rebooted just to see what happened. Setting it to RAID allows Windows 7 to boot, however, I'm still unable to boot a cdrom.
This might be relevant for someone, who knows?
I found another possible workaround after I'd been playing around with an W700 for my post here.
BIOS defaults except the ODD as first boot device.
With the boot cd in the ODD I pressed the blue ThinkVantage button after turning the system on, this will probably only work with a factory install, and after it had booted into R&R I selected the advanced version and then simply restart. The system restarted and booted from the cd. I repeated this 3 times to be sure it wasn't a fluke.
After booting to Windows and then shutting down, the system would not boot from cd with the exact same BIOS settings.

Here in Amerikwa they call them the Greatest Generation: the morons who crossed the ocean to invade Europe and annihilate Germany for Jews, only so they can come back and be ridiculed and mocked as "racists" and "fascists" by Jews 20 years later. They were fools, traitors, and criminals, and deserve nothing but contempt.
They deserve more than just mere contempt: those that still live need deserve to suffer the Hellstorm they inflicted upon the Germans and have bequeathed to their great-grandchildren. Scum.

A pic of the admin of this site when he was thirty-three years old.
The greatest of the "conservative" thinkers, Joseph de Maistre, pointed out long ago that the French Revolution led the revolutionaries rather than was led by them. For he believed that certain Providential forces rule our lives. These forces he saw in Christian terms, but others, like Heidegger, for instance, saw them in terms of Being, over which humans have no control.
In either case, the force of Providence or Being or Destiny has a power that has often made itself felt in our history. For this reason, I have little doubt that Europeans will eventually throw off the Judeo-liberal system programming their destruction. I'm less confident about we Americans, given the greater weakness of our collective identity and destiny. But nevertheless even we might be saved from ourselves by this force—as long as we do what is still in our power to do.
"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world." —Charles Darwin
An American Renaissance commenter opined about Darwin's remarkable statement:
"It is much to my chagrin that for the near future (e.g., next 60-100 years) that Darwin will be shown to be incorrect. If not for the artificial and noxious interference by liberals—guilty Whites—evolution would be allowed to take its proper course. How I wish I lived in the alternate time line where this occurred and the earth only knew of the Negro in the manner that it knows now of the Neanderthal or Homo erectus. And if they were to perish? What would be lost? Really, what would the world lose that would not be replaced by such that is infinitely better?" (More about Darwin's exterminationist views: here.)
"We here at the Daily Stormer hate all non-Whites, and believe they should be exterminated." —Andrew Anglin

HTML 5 not working in IE 7
Posted 22 March 2012 - 09:03 PM
i have just bought a one year membership to the Killersite university. I have downloaded the project file for the HTML5 CSS3 project and put the folder on my desktop. When i view the index page in Firefox, everything is fine, but in IE 7, everything is all over the place. I know that in the videos the teacher talks about the code "lt IE9". Normally it should work with any browser. Is it only because the root folder is on my desktop and not online that IE7 do not display the site correctly?

If You are just starting out I would suggest that you get familiar with html and css and then work on the conditional comments as you progress. This is just my personal opinion.

<!--[if lt ie 9]> your different styles here <![endif]-->
The above code should go in the head section AFTER the main stylesheet link or after the head section style tags so that it supersedes them. Styles written inline (inside html tags) will take priority over those in a conditional comment.
It should work from a local file or online.
The lt IE 9 conditional comment should work with all IE browsers less than IE 9 (assuming that your styles inside the conditional comment are appropriate and supported by the IE version).
the teacher talks about the code "lt IE9". Normally it should work with any browser.

For some other cool features,like video in old IE, you need to use workarounds like Flash for video and Javascript libs for canvas.

As mentioned in a previous post, Google html5 shiv (or shim)

Buy all 300+ lessons for only $87.00. Use them over and over with your classes.
Our exclusive search engine makes it easy to find exactly the right lesson for your class in seconds.
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

The Doctor's Office - September 25, 2017Lesson Collection #3 - Lesson 11c
This fantastic pair-work lesson is guaranteed to bring any class to life. And it's really short (about 15 minutes) so it's a perfect ice-breaker or an even better send off activity.
While having a lot of fun, students will be working with sentence parts (verbs, adjectives, etc.), building vocabulary and practicing singular vs. plural nouns.
This lesson begins as a 'cloze' activity (fill in the gaps, information gathering), but when students begin reading their scripts, no one will be able to keep a straight face.
There are several of these types of exercises in the EFL4U lessons, they're all fun and wacky.
Worksheet A is for the Doctor, Worksheet B is for the Patient. Together, students add the missing elements of the dialogue by providing their partner's with names of flowers, adjectives, carpenter's tools, sports verbs, etc.
When finished, they will read their dialogues. A typical conversation could look like the following:
Doctor: Hello. I'm Dr. Oink Oink Wilson.
Patient: Hi, my name is Hibiscus but everyone calls me banana head.
Doctor: Wow! That's a wonderful nickname.
Patient: Thanks.
Doctor: How can I help you?
Patient: Yesterday, I crashed into a leaf.
Doctor: Well, I'm afraid I have to cut off your foot....
And it just gets sillier and sillier. There are several of these types of exercises in the EFL4U lessons, they're all fun and wacky. They are:
The Lost City of Ohmygosh (See Lesson 11a above)
The Maitre d' (See Lesson 11b above)
An Original Story (See Lesson 11d below)
A Call to Santa (See Holiday Lesson Set - Xmas 01) -and-
Cupid's Solution (See Holiday Lesson Set - Valentines 02).

A possibly stupid question about sweetening
Hi all!
Bit of a newbie round here, looks like a great and passionate community though!
This may have an obvious answer (of "no"), but could anyone suggest a way to sweeten tea (normal, everyday black tea) without refined sugar, or sweeteners with aspartame/sucralose please? Maybe even an old wives tale or odd ingredient?
Many thanks in advance!
Stevia, raw honey, agave, pure Grade A maple syrup.
This is the second mention of maple syrup I've heard today. I don't know why I never thought of putting it in tea before… especially considering I've used it as a sweetener in vegan baking before.
But I've used honey, agave, and raw sugar. All are yummy.
An article I read once mentioned using fruit. They said perhaps lemon (although I think that would have to be an awfully sweet lemon to really "sweeten" it.) I could see orange slices working well in iced tea, maybe even peach.
Just added a little mango juice to some earl grey tea…pretty good actually!
It was! Now I am actually contemplating adding a few drops of mango juice to the Chocolate Malt Honeybush I'm about to brew! lol
But then again a lot of people swear by the combo of orange and chocolate and that isn't my thing either.
That's actually what gave me the idea! I love chocolate and orange… Of course I know a certain someone who swears by chocolate and cayenne… and that's not exactly a too common combo either! ;)
In Mexican cooking it is:) It just depends on where/what kind of food you're used to eating I guess.
hmm – mango and chocolate that could be interesting – I had chocolate covered pineapple once and that wasn't too bad
True enough, Cofftea. As for the chocolate malt honeybush/mango combo, just tried it, would not recommend it. The mango is true strong, it drowns out the other flavors!
Nothing "wrong" with adding sugar. Some flavored teas " need" sugar to bring out the flavors. Oolongs don't require sugar, but some black teas , like Assams, really need sugar to cut the astringency. For a while, I was adding way too much sugar (either white or turbinado) but now I am trying to cut down on my use.
Personally, I never could get used to Stevia as a replacement.
I think we need to be careful to not say there's anything "wrong" w/ adding sugars or that they "need" it, even if it's in quotes. Matt's already made it clear that for whatever reasons he has he doesn't want use white sugar. And whatever reasons those are, they're fine. To also say some teas "need" sugar I don't think is being mindful of some people's tastes to not to want to sweeten their teas.
Jam/jelly is always an option. It's seen in Russian tea culture; I've tried it myself (although I rarely sweeten teas), and since it's fruit, you get a sort of tart sweetness (thus it works better with black teas, where it won't overpower them). It can leave a bit of a residue at the bottom of your cup, though—unmelted/dissolved pectin and fruit bits.
But still, delicious.
Hmmm… I like where you're coming from w/ that idea, but then you need to worry about the above sweetners Matt wants to avoid cuz they're in jam… unless you'd make your own w/ stevia (I've never seen it in a store). Would the jam settle to the bottom?
I've had lattes made with jam. There's some settling, but most of it melts into the hot tea. I find that the jams make them sweeter than using honey or sugar.
I have thought of jam with tea before, thanks for recommending this! I am so trying this out tonight!
Confirming jam works for me. I put a heaping TB of raspberry jam in 16 oz of a black tea that was supposed to be blackberry but really has no fruit flavor. Hints for next time: Steep it an extra min, don't use jam w/ seeds. I also think this is best for blacks and herbals… not sure I'd use it for greens or whites… But I think that's just my one personal preference against sweet tea and being insanely picky about my fruit flavored teas.
Yes! I'm converting people to jam!
Yeah, it's definitely too strong for anything other than black teas. That's all I use it in.
Wow, thank you everyone for the great response and really useful ideas! I love the idea of using fruit especially. Mango and Earl Gray sounds like a little piece of heaven!
My reasons for not wanting aspartame/sucralose is due to a nervous system condition I have that was caused by having a Diet Coke once a day for a month. My system is very sensitive to artificial sweeteners and can cause restricted blood flow to my brain! It's a nightmare to avoid as they are so prevalent :)
As for no refined sugar, I just don't like it ;)
Thank you so much everyone! Great debate here too, hope it continues :)
I can't have aspartame either, it makes me very ill. Sucralose does not affect me quite the same way, but, I don't like it. I don't really care for stevia either, but, you might like it, so I would recommend trying it to see how you like it… I do recommend using about a third less of it than you would sugar because it is very sweet.
I prefer not to use refined sugar also, but I do use raw sugar sometimes. I prefer raw agave nectar though or locally harvested raw honey. Those are my two favorite sweeteners when I choose to sweeten my teas.
You should try agave nectar! It can be found in many grocery stories now, and health food stories. It's organic and all natural sweetener made from the juice of the agave plant. It's perfect for hot and iced tea, it's a lot sweeter then honey so you use a little less but the consistency is thin so it's easy to stir into your tea and it doesn't just stay at the bottom! I really recommend it!
Ice cream!
I don't do this regularly (I think I did once, for chai), just getting into the spirit of creative suggestions! I usually find just adding (whole) milk is enough sweetener for me, but generally use honey when it's not. I've tried stevia, and find it acceptable but a little odd tasting.
I don't know if this is far enough away from refined sugar, but my favorite sweetener for tea is raw sugar cubes. They are brown & not really a cube, but more of a lump.
I like the varying sizes they come in, since I don't always need the same amount of sugar per cup/tea.
I love honey in tea and find it very versatile, it goes well in blacks, chais and even the occasional green that I think would benefit from it. I find some other sweeteners such as artificial ones or white sugar can only really be tolerated (by me) in a strong black tea like Irish Breakfast. I haven't tried any of the special honeys (organic, clover etc) but just liquid or creamed honey (if it's all I have) seem to work great. I've even seen solid honey drops (I'm sure someone here could supply the company(s) that make them) so you could take your honey on the go with your new mug!

When I was a kid we'd hop on a Greyhound bus and take a trip back to my mother's home town, Winterset, Iowa, and spend the summer. Winterset is a quintessential Iowa farm town that is also home to the famous covered bridges of Madison County.
While in Winterset, I'd work the register at my Aunt Dobbin's corner store and the local girls would come by and check out the strange boy from California.
One my favorite memories of Winterset was a little candy store downtown called The Candy Kitchen. My sister and I would walk into town and spend some of the money we'd made on jawbreakers, waxed lips and, our favorite, chicken bones. Small towns and candy stores seem to go hand in hand.
Patty McKee passed away last week and I want to thank her for giving my kids some sweet memories to carry through their lives of their own small-town candy store, The Candy Cupboard.
I remember when the kids were young, maybe 6 or 7, and they'd get bored during the summer, as kids are apt to do. They would come and ask for couple of dollars, and permission to walk into town so they could buy some candy at The Candy Cupboard. Or maybe I'd take them for a treat when they brought home a good report card?
They had their favorites, as all kids do. Madison loved sour candy, the sourer the better, a choice I never understood.
The Candy Cupboard is an icon for the children of Idyllwild. I'm so grateful I could raise my children here in Idyllwild where kids still have a shot of a carefree childhood.
I'm grateful I found a place where Travis, Madison and Georgia could walk into town without worry and enjoy some good sweets. I'm grateful for Patty, who always had a smile on her face and a friendly greeting. I'm grateful for The Candy Cupboard. I'm grateful for stumbling into Idyllwild 20 years ago and finding my home.
Here's to Patty McKee. She created something our kids will always remember. Someday they will tell their kids about it. She made all our children's childhood sweeter.
Rest in peace, Patty. Heaven could always use a good candy store, for the children and the young at heart. Do me a favor Patty — set aside some chicken bones for me.

With Sacramento television station cameras recording their every move and about 30 people looking on, Woodland's City Council backed away from what had been a restrictive water-waste ordinance.
Before it was "red-lined" to modify or provide for greater methods of relief, the controversial plan would have had some people facing "criminal penalties" for wasting water. Among those penalties were "criminal citations," liens or having the violation listed on the property title.
But acting Tuesday night, the council sent the plan back to city water managers for a rewrite that would include clearer language and additional means of dealing with chronic scofflaws. The ordinance is expected to be back before the council in March.
City officials have spent the past 18 months working to update the ordinance, but only recently stepped up their efforts following state Gov. Jerry Brown's call for a 20 percent reduction of water use statewide two weeks ago in the face of an historic statewide drought.
The plan drew the attention of Woodlanders - many of whom have already cut their water use after the installation of a metering system - as well as Sacramento media because of its perceived harshness.
But City Manager Paul Navazio as well as Water Conservation Coordinator Dawn Calciano assured the council the ordinance is not designed to go after people who over water their lawns, or wash their cars during a drought. Rather, its ultimate intent is to provide severe penalties for deliberate and large-scale users who tamper with their meters, or commit outright water theft.
For this year, Woodland has plenty of water available through its well system. It is also working on supplemental supplies from the Sacramento River. As well, Calciano said the city has already cut its water use by more than the 20 percent being sought by Gov. Brown.
She also assured the council that in five years she has been working for the city, there has never been a citation issued to a resident over wasting water, a statement echoed by Public Works Director Greg Meyer, who said in his 35 years on the job he has never seen a person severely penalized. According to Calciano and Navazio, a citation - basically the equivalent of a traffic ticket - is the last resort. Rather, the city prefers to work with people and businesses to determine why excessive water use is taking place and then work out a conservation program.
As rewritten, the ordinance sets out a more structured, or progressive series of steps to be taken against those using excessive amounts of water such as door-hangers and personal visits before getting tough, which could mean installing flow restricters. A "criminal citation" is considered a last resort.
Unlike Sacramento, which has set up a task force to patrol streets and enforce rules that limit outdoor watering, Woodland has no "water waste patrols," but relies on private residents and city staff to learn who might be watering excessively, whether it's a private residence or a city park.
In fact, Calciano said the city's new water meters are basically the first line of defense, providing data which could mean a leak or line break. As well, she noted, the city welcomes people who let staff know about leaky sprinklers or other problems at parks or on city property, because there are not enough people to spot every problem.
Woodland councilmen also heard from a handful of people who primarily said the ordinance was unfair to those already conserving water to be asked to conserve even more.
Clara Tafoya, for example, said she has already cut her water use. She asked the council whether her water rates would go down because she's cut back, a question which drew laughter from the audience and council alike.
Another resident, Doug Reed, said the ordinance itself was written poorly, noting the opening paragraph was repetitious and almost unintelligible. In addition to setting out penalties, the ordinance also defines the circumstances under which the council would declare various stages of water shortage and the water use restrictions.
Mandatory water restrictions would begin at Stage 1, a "water alert," forcing a 10 percent cutback. A Stage 2 "water warning" would mean a mandatory 25 percent reduction. A Stage 3 "water crisis" would mean a 50 percent cut. And a Stage 4 "water emergency" would limit use to people and agencies deemed "essential to health and safety."
Woodland Mayor Skip Davies as well as Calciano assured residents that those already conserving were not the targets of the ordinance, only those who are creating health and safety problems by vandalizing equipment or stealing water.
Calciano also emphasized that those owners of large lots, apartments and businesses would not be signaled out. She reiterated that the first steps if higher water use were spotted, would be to find out if anything was out of the ordinary and then try and figure out a solution.
"People here are conserving," Davies assured those attending the meeting, "but there are others out there who still don't see this as a serious situation." And it's for those people that the city is trying to set some rules, Davies noted.
Other councilmen, such as Bill Marble, didn't see the ordinance as an emergency. He wanted information on what other communities were doing, but he also stressed that the state is facing an emergency.
"(Woodland) is not there yet, but we're close," said Marble. "Anyone who has looked at Folsom (Lake) should be worried. Folsom is going dark."
He also wanted to make sure the ordinance had been seen by the city's Water Advisory Committee before coming back before the council.
Councilman Jim Hilliard praised Calciano for her presentation and also emphasized the city was focusing its sights on "unusually high users" and that he personally hasn't heard of "any complaints where the 'water Nazis' have come to the door."
Councilman Sean Denny agreed, noting that he's a "glass half-full kind of guy. We're much better off than other places."
Davies agreed, but said Denny shouldn't say that "too loud" so as not to give a false impression that things were OK.
