Do Anxiety and Distress Increase During Active Surveillance for Low Risk Prostate Cancer?
Purpose: Anxiety and distress may be present in patients with low risk prostate cancer who are on active surveillance. This may be a reason to discontinue active surveillance. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 Dutch patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance in a prospective active surveillance study received questionnaires at study inclusion and 9 months after diagnosis. We assessed changes in scores on decisional conflict with the decisional conflict scale, depression with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, generic anxiety with the State Trait Anxiety Inventory, prostate cancer specific anxiety with the Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer and the self-estimated risk of progression. We explored scores 9 months after diagnosis vs those at study inclusion for physical health (SF-12® physical component summary), personality (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire), shared decision making, prostate cancer knowledge, demographics, medical parameters and prostate specific antigen doubling time during followup. Results: Questionnaires at study inclusion and 9 months after diagnosis were completed by 129 of 150 (86%) and 108 of 120 participants (90%) a median of 2.4 and 9.2 months after diagnosis, respectively. Anxiety and distress at study inclusion were previously found to be generally favorable. Significant but clinically irrelevant decreases were seen in mean scores of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (p = 0.016), Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer fear of progression subscale (p = 0.005) and the self-estimated risk of progression (p = 0.049). Anxiety and distress 9 months after diagnosis were mainly predicted by scores at study inclusion. Higher Eysenck Personality Questionnaire neuroticism score and an important role of the physician in the treatment decision had additionally unfavorable effects. Good physical health, palpable disease and older age had favorable effects. No association was seen for prostate specific antigen doubling time. Nine men discontinued active surveillance, including 2 due to nonmedical reasons. Conclusions: Anxiety and distress generally remain favorably low during the first 9 months of surveillance.

Mind the Virtual Gap - Convergence of Everything
In the last 7 years, virtualization has profoundly changed the IT world. In 2013, even though the latest buzz may have shifted towards cloud computing, big data and mobility, virtualization remains the foundation for all of the above
With wide ranging benefits that include reduced capital and operational costs, greater IT efficiency and agility, virtualization is truly core to many IT organizations, large or small.
But those benefits you've been enjoying are perhaps only the beginning. In this latest report from Gartner analyst Philip Dawson paints a clear vision for the next phase of virtualization by answering these three key questions:
- How will virtualization drive technology convergence?
- How is virtualization changing IT organizations and processes?
- How is the convergence changing the vendor landscape?

I met Susana Morgado when she was working the door at a show that she had planned and promoted here in Toronto. Not only was the show excellent, thanks to the great bands on the bill she'd expertly curated, but I was also struck by how positive and welcoming the environment of the show was. As I attended more of Morgado's shows, I came to realize that this was her standard operating procedure: an expertly chosen set of local and touring bands, a show that runs smoothly and professionally, and a positive environment for fans and performers alike. It was high time for Girls Don't Like Metal to talk to a promoter, and I soon realized that Morgado would be an ideal subject, as she contributes a great deal to the local scene in the form of great shows. Plus, she fills a vital role in organizing events for the heavy metal community that is often invisible, and deserves to be celebrated.
* * *
How did you first come to fall in love with heavy metal? What is your love story?
Honestly, I don't remember the first moment that I fell in love with heavy metal. Growing up, my musical tastes were always varied; everything from listening to '50s songs in the long car rides with my parents to being introduced to the likes of Soundgarden, Tool and Nirvana by my older siblings to finding my own musical tastes in my teens. The one thing I do remember is sneaking into my brother's room when he wasn't home so I could listen to his Tool Enima CD because It was inappropriate for my age.
Growing up I didn't have many friends who were into really heavy music, until I was about 15, when an old elementary school friend that I had re-connected with invited me out to a Cradle of Filth concert . It was the first time I had someone to hang out with who liked heavy music, and was willing to go out to shows. I remember not even being that familiar with the music, but wanting to go to check it out. At that point I still mainly listened to bands such as The Deftones, Silverchair and Incubus….going to a Cradle of Filth concert was a whole other story.
From there I got into punk, hardcore and anything else I could get my hands on. I discovered underground music, and I have to thank a lot of the random people I've met along the way for introducing me to some pretty incredible bands. As for now I still straddle the lines of many musical genres, but the heavy/strange is still what I call home sweet home.
What is it about heavy music that draws you to it?
There are no exact words that can describe what draws me to heavy music, it just evokes a feeling from me that I can't describe that I feel a connection with. For whatever reason heavy music has just always done that more than others. I guess it's the rawness that I am drawn too. There's just something about someone who sounds like they might throw up or break down from how hard their singing/screaming. There's an energy there you just don't really get anywhere else.
Heavy metal is renowned as a genre for intense live shows. What do you most love about the live metal experience?
The energy, meeting new people, discovering new bands, seeing bands go ape shit and mosh pits doing the same thing.
What made you realize you wanted to start putting on shows instead of just attending them?
I was just out of high school, and was going to a lot of local hardcore shows throughout Toronto. I saw people my age putting on these gigs, and thought ,"Well fuck, I can do that."
I wasn't in a band, couldn't scream and couldn't really play guitar all that well. It was a way for me to become a part of this scene that I was falling in love with more and more each day.
I just wanted to do anything I could to help out the bands I loved, and bring them to Toronto. It was my way to contribute and keep the local scene alive.
What do you hope to bring to the shows do you put on? What kind of an environment do you want to create for concert-goers?
I want to create an environment where anyone would feel comfortable coming out to one of my shows. There is no dress code, acceptable bands to like, or any of that bullshit.
I don't know who came up with all these "rules" that come with being in a scene, but I for one am against them. Who gives a shit really? I think if everyone was more open-minded in general, scenes would thrive so much more instead of having to create little niches for each one. The one thing we can all agree on is that we love the music that we listen to.
All I ever ask from the people who come to my shows is to have an open mind, and respect not only for the other people there, but also for the bands.
What is the most challenging aspect of booking and putting on a show?
Time management. I work a full-time job on top of throwing gigs so sometimes it can get a little crazy when both are busy. This doesn't include going to other shows than my own, friends, family and life in general.
For many reasons (tight-knit community, challenging music, visibly intimidating audience/band members etc.) many people are often cautious or nervous about attending a metal show. How do you go about making newcomers feel comfortable?
I just try to let people know that anyone can come out to my shows, and I do invite out anyone I know regardless of musical tastes. I want people to know who might be attending to know that when you walk in it isn't going to be this room full of aggro people who are going to punch you in the face. Most people who are into heavy music are some of the nicest people I know.
While there are more and more women active in the metal scene all the time, some women are still uncomfortable attending live shows for a variety of reasons (reputation, expectations, bad experiences, etc). How do you work to make your metal shows a positive experience for all attendees?
Just as I stated above, I try to make everyone as comfortable as possible. I also don't allow bullshit such as harassment to happen at my shows, and I would hope that anyone who attends any one of them would never fall into that category. People wonder why some scenes die out I think that the last two questions are a big example of that.
What advice would you have for anyone, and especially young women, who are interested in putting on their own shows and becoming promoters?
Don't be afraid to get out there. If you promised a band a guarantee, PAY THEM! Promoters out there who promise one thing and do another give the rest of us a bad name. If you can't pay them or aren't sure if they can draw that crowd then work out a different deal, and if they don't like it then they can work with someone else. There will always be bumps in the road and lessons to learn, but you can't let that hinder you from what you're doing. It's too easy to become frustrated and give up. I urge any girl — well, anyone really — to just keep going.

Recreation: Work begins at Litchfield park
By Jackie R. Broach
A year ago Waccamaw Neck residents and Georgetown County officials lined up with gold-painted shovels to move the first bits of earth at two important sites: a park to be developed in Litchfield and the future home of a recreation center at Parkersville Park.
It was a day all had long been waiting for, and more waiting was to come. There wasn't much visible activity on the projects in the year following the ceremonies, but after next month there won't be any question that progress is being made.
Site work started this week at Stables Park, and construction of buildings on the property and a concession stand at what will eventually be soccer fields is scheduled to start Jan. 13, said Beth Goodale, county recreation director.
Construction at the Waccamaw Regional Recreation Center in Parkersville should start at the end of the month.
The park is scheduled to open between late August and mid-September next year and the center will open on its heels in December.
"We're very excited to have these projects under way," Goodale said. "One of the things we've been so looking forward to at Stables Park, in addition to field capacity, is we'll also be able to answer the call for tennis."
The recreation department has had a lot of interest in tennis programs for everyone from kids to senior citizens, but there aren't any public courts on the Waccamaw Neck. The tennis teams at Waccamaw High School uses private courts around Waccamaw Neck for practice and matches.
The first phase of the park plan includes construction of 10 tennis courts. Once they open, the team will start using those courts instead.
"We've also spoken with the athletic director about a potential tennis component as part of the gym class programming," Goodale said. That will open the sport to a wider range of kids.
"We're already exploring a lot of opportunities that will open up when we have tennis facilities," she added.
Economic opportunities are also anticipated with the park's opening.
"We're excited about not only the facilities and being able to serve the citizens on the Waccamaw Neck, but the fact that tennis and soccer facilities are being designed and constructed in a way that we will be able to attract tournaments and visitors from outside the county," said County Administrator Sel Hemingway.
A tournament is already scheduled for the summer at a softball complex under construction in Georgetown. The county is working to secure other tournaments.
County Council awarded bids on Tuesday for "vertical construction" at Stables Park and for a general contractor for the recreation center. For each project, 11 bids submitted. Walker Engineering and Construction of Pawleys Island got the Stables Park job with a low bid of $915,002. Construction of ball fields will be awarded under a different contract.
The recreation center job went to the Palmetto Corp. of Conway for $3.7 million.
One of the biggest advantages to the center's opening will be the availability of a gymnasium for recreation team sports.
"Right now we're very dependent on the schools and that gets hard, especially during basketball season when they're needing those facilities as well," Goodale said.
"The other piece is we'll finally have a nice program space where the congregate dining program can be brought back to Pawleys Island."
The program for senior citizens offers nutritious meals five days a week, along with programming for health, education and entertainment.
"It gives them a place to socialize," Goodale said.
The program takes place at five locations in the county, but the Waccamaw Neck location closed several years ago due to low attendance. But the space also didn't offer much opportunity for programming, Goodale said. The nearest program location for Waccamaw Neck seniors now is in Georgetown.
The new center will also have fitness equipment for seniors, and programming to teach about topics including diabetes education and chronic disease self management.
Goodale has already started getting calls from people concerned about traffic on Ford Road resulting from construction at Stables Park. She assures residents that's not the only construction entrance. Petigru Drive and Gillman Road will also be used, keeping any one road from being overburdened.
For unpaved roads being used by construction traffic, the contractor is required to use dust control measures as needed and repair any damage done to the roads by construction traffic.
She also assures residents that construction won't keep the farmer's market from taking place at Parkersville Park in the summer, and tree buffers at both parks will remain in place, with more greenery to be added.
"We hope the neighbors will be as excited as we are," Goodale said. "I've looked at some studies and information, some for as close as Charleston, and they say property values should appreciate anywhere from 10 to 30 percent from being in close proximity to a park like this."
Council will receive a report on recreation projects scheduled throughout the county at its next meeting in January. The update will address work schedules and actual project costs compared to budgeted costs.
"By that time most of the projects will be bid, so we should have a real good handle for what the costs of projects would be," Hemingway said.

Macroeconomic Consumption Functions for Czechoslovakia: A Planners' Permanent Income Hypothesis
This paper presents estimates of the macroeconomic consumption function for a Soviet type economy. Systemic differences, however, require that two relations instead of the usual single behavioral relation be estimated. The first relation, which we call the 'planners' consumption function', models planners' decisions to allocate a certain portion of national income to consumption. Clearly such decisions are closely related to their investment decisions. The 'planners' consumption function' appears to be - at least for Czechoslovakia - basically linear in form, it has a very high positive intercept - implying a declining average share of consumption in national income; its slope is only slightly above .5 - implying that planners allocate for consumption only about one half of the increment of national income; the observed 'counter cyclical' fluctuations in consumption suggest that planners behave in a way similar to the permanent income hypothesis, namely that they determine aggregate consumption more on the basis of 'permanent income' than on the basis of 'transitory income'. The second behavioral relation, which we call the 'consumers' consumption function', models the aggregate effect of the millions of independent decisions of individual consumers to divide their disposable income between consumption expenditures and savings. This function is conceptually closer to the macroeconomic consumption functions for Western market economies. The empirical estimates for Czechoslovakia showed the 'consumers' consumption function' to be again linear in form but different from the Western-type consumption function as well as from the 'planners' consumption function' in the following respects: its intercept is small and it is not significantly different from zero, which implies an almost constant share of consumption expenditures in disposable income; its slope - marginal propensity to consume - is extremely high (about .96); no time lags in consumer behavior could have been detected, which implies either very myopic consumers or the almost total absence of transitory incomes in the Czechoslovak economy.

Adrien Brody is a serious actor. After all, he won an Academy Award for his portrayal in The Pianist of a Polish Jewish musician struggling to survive in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. And after lending gravitas to the Beyoncé vehicle Cadillac Records, the 35-year-old stars as the more serious sibling opposite Mark Ruffalo in the seriocomic con artist caper The Brothers Bloom. Brody will, however, lighten up a bit for his gay fans — just as long as you steer clear of homo hypotheticals. Seriously.
The Advocate: I hope you're in a good mood today for some silly gay questions.
Adrien Brody: I'm in a good mood, but let's see if I'm still in a good mood at the end.
We'll ease into it. Are you aware of your gay following?
Well, I've lived in West Hollywood, Chelsea, and right off Christopher Street — all largely gay neighborhoods — and I was aware of a number of people there who were fans of mine, so I guess that's a nice thing. You're aware of it?
Sure. Let's talk about 1997's The Last Time I Committed Suicide, in which you played a character patterned after gay beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
You know, that's so funny, because [my publicist] sent me an e-mail about possible interview topics like gay roles, and I thought, I haven't really had the opportunity to play a gay role. But yes, I did. I forgot about it; it was so long ago. Let's talk about it.
How did Ginsberg's sexuality inform your performance?
Obviously, the character had an intense physical attraction to the character based on Neal Cassady, but Neal didn't share the same feelings. As an actor, an emotion is an emotion regardless of who it's for. It's challenging to do any role where there's a great deal of physical intimacy, but I haven't had to deal with that [opposite another man].
At 13 you made your acting debut in the off-Broadway play Family Pride in the Fifties as a working-class kid who wants to be a ballet dancer. Did you think that character was gay?
Oh, good, you did some research! A part of the conflict there was that the father struggles with his son's sensitivity. I was very young, so I guess I didn't give it enough thought, but perhaps he was a gay character as well. We're racking 'em up. [Laughs] I once had an opportunity to play a transvestite who wasn't gay and was actually somewhat homophobic. It was a very complex story, but the script wasn't quite where I wanted it to be. It would've been challenging, but part of what attracted me to the material was how difficult it was.
What conversations did you have with director Spike Lee about your character Richie's sexuality in Summer of Sam?
[Laughs] Spike doesn't like to discuss those things. I think Spike would probably have a different point of view from mine. Richie was a guy who was all about experimenting and exploring, breaking all the things that were imposed on him by society. Spike didn't particularly have a ton of direction with that, but I think Richie's homosexual encounters were purely based on monetary gain. He was selling himself. The character was based on a person that I knew, but I don't think that he was really attracted to men; he was basically just willing to do whatever was necessary.
Did you go to any seedy gay clubs to prepare for the role?
I did hang out in that world. But, I mean, I've gone to gay bars before. It's not like that's something I would only enter for a role. Obviously I'm not there to pick up anybody, but I'm not afraid to hang out in a predominantly gay establishment.

Oregon Democrat Proposing Making Cigarettes A Prescription-Only Drug?
February 3, 2013 in Politics
"A lawmaker in Oregon has proposed making nicotine a Schedule III controlled substance in the state, placing it in the same category as many prescription tranquilizers and stimulants. The bill, introduced by Democratic Rep. Mitch Greenlick, would require anyone who wished to smoke a cigarette to first obtain a prescription from a doctor. Nicotine-containing products would only be available from pharmacies. Those caught using nicotine without a prescription could face up to one year in prison and a $6,250 fine under the proposed law."

SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego County authorities say 14 people have been arrested and pounds of narcotics were seized in a suspected drug-trafficking operation.
U-T San Diego reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/1lyqnrh ) that the arrests were made during a sweep by 50 sheriff's deputies and agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration's violent trafficking team.
Nearly 16 pounds of marijuana, 10 pounds of cocaine and seven pounds of heroin were seized, along with Xanax tablets and LSD.
Authorities confiscated almost $40,000 in cash during the course of the investigation.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Caldwell says teams served warrants last week in Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido.

AVON LAKE - Marine Lance Cpl. Colin Smith was welcomed home during a Veterans Day ceremony Monday at Learwood Middle School in Avon Lake.
Smith, 20, a 2005 graduate of Avon Lake High School, was shot through the head by a sniper on Oct. 30, 2006, during a mission in Karma, a city near Fallujah. He spent 10 months at trauma centers in Germany, Maryland and Virginia.
The details of his shooting and the aftermath were reported in the New York Times, which had a reporter traveling with the platoon. The platoon had been searching several houses, where they found five Kalashnikov assault rifles and bomb components and were getting back into their vehicles when the gunshot rang out.
Smith, who was peering out of the first vehicle`s gun turret, was struck by an armor-piercing bullet, according to the article.
During the ceremony Monday, which WKYC-TV Channel 3 attended and videotaped - the video is posted at www.WKYC.com - Smith, dressed in a red T-shirt emblazoned with the word Marines and wearing a protective helmet, was the guest of honor and appeared alongside his father, Robert Smith.
Robert Smith helped walk his son to the podium, where he instructed him to briefly remove his helmet to show the students the damage inflicted by the bullet.
Colin Smith overcame a grim prognosis, his father told the students, and has fought his way back through a grueling rehabilitation regimen consisting of 12-to-16-hour days.
Students and veterans alike listened quietly as Robert Smith described what it was like seeing young soldiers, day-after-day, trying to recover with amputated limbs and brain injuries.
"It`s all we ever saw," he said. "But I learned that not one of them ever had a regret, and the reason that is is because of people like yourselves thanking them."
Colin Smith smiled and looked intently at his father. Colin Smith didn`t address the students himself, but he can be seen saying Semper Fi to another Marine at the ceremony.
Robert Smith said he was proud of his son`s service, and asked those in attendance to reflect on the sacrifice of all U.S. veterans.
"When you honor veterans, remember you`re honoring yourselves," he said.

Mike Martz's game plan is not effective. Needs to use Olsen more, work the inside slant to Hester instead of the long ball.
Wonder has two keys for the Jets: (1) No horrible turnovers, ie throwing a 40 yard ball downfield which is INT'd is not a horrible turnover. (2) When you get to Roethlisberger, you must bring him down and tackle him. If the Jets do these 2 things, they will win the game. IF the do only 1, the game is up in the air, and if they do none of the 2 they will lose.

So the answer to the "Chorus Line" question is no. I am not my résumé. Hi, I'm Vanessa Claire Stewart, and I hate auditioning. There, I said it. Socrates says "Know thyself," and I do. I'm no good at fashioning a character over the course of a day and bringing it in to a total stranger, then pretending that a CD's office is really a romantic setting, or whatever the premise is. I know that I naturally have anxiety and sometimes have to have a cocktail before an audition to calm my nerves. I know that I'm a good actor, but only after I've lived in the shoes of my character for a couple of weeks. So how have I been able to get jobs in this town?
Looking at my résumé, I mathematically deduced that 75 percent of my work has come from people who have cast me before or known my work, or it was me creating my own job. It was quite a different feeling coming into a CD's office when he or she saw me in the role I wrote for myself. The tables had turned from me thanking him or her for the favor to the CD thanking me for coming in. The show business idiom that I keep hearing is, It takes a person six months or 10 years to "make it." My roommate from Oxford made it in six months because she knew exactly what box she fit in and could work a room. And of course, without trying to be on the 10-year plan, I was. But only after I figured how it was going to have to work for me. I had to be the best "me" I could be to wrap my head around playing other people.
And right now, I'm learning more about my process by watching other actors go through their own. We have a brilliant cast for my next play, "Stoneface: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Buster Keaton," starring my husband French Stewart as Buster Keaton. It's a very helpful thing in the life of an actor to just sit back and observe sometimes. We can learn so much.

Coffee Joulies
The days of burning your mouth so bad that you cant taste anything for the next week are over. Coffee Joulies work with your coffee to achieve two goals. First, they absorb extra thermal energy in your coffee when it's served too hot, cooling it down to a drinkable temperature three times faster than normal. Next, they release that stored energy back into your coffee keeping it in the right temperature range twice as long.

I once saw a Tumblr post that said something like, "I feel like Michael Cera never intended to act but was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and was too awkward to tell them he wasn't an actor so filmed stuff anyway, and now he's let it go too far and can't back out," and I lol'd for a good several minutes. (I don't really think that, of course…)
Turns out, however, that karma remembered that I laughed about Michael Cera's supposed acting backstory. And now I find that Tumblr post a lot more relatable. Let me explain.
~story time yaaaaaaay~
Once upon a time (If I begin it like a fairytale then maybe it will all just be a dream?) two days ago, I had an appointment at an elementary school in Bologna to interview a teacher about how school lunches work there.
I got to the school at 8am and walked in with a swarm of 7-year-old Italians, so that was adventure #1. When I got to [teacher]'s classroom, there was a substitute there who told me [teacher] wouldn't arrive until 8:30. I figured I'd just hang out in the classroom and listen to adorable children speak Italian better than me.
Well. Was I ever wrong. (About the hanging out part, not the kids being better than me at Italian part)
The sub had me introduce myself to the class, which I thought was somewhat weird, but I went along with it anyway. I should tell you that it's common for college students here in Bologna to volunteer at elementary schools as English teachers.
Can you see where this is going?
After the sub took attendance, she gestured toward me and said to the class, "This is going to be your teacher for the day! She's going to help you learn the days of the week in English! Michele, start naming them and Molly will correct you."
Did I just get roped into teaching English?
I just got roped into teaching English.
"I'm not here to teach English!" -is what I should have said right away. But I just couldn't. I became Tumblr Michael Cera.
Finally, at about the third kid naming the days of the week, I found my voice and explained to the sub that I was just there to interview [teacher]. As soon as I got the words out, the real English teacher showed up. She was from Georgia–—the country. She spoke no Italian, and only kind of spoke English. With a veeery thick accent.
I almost wish I had been supposed to teach them because now that Georgia was there I had to sit through her not realizing that some of the kids were saying that Saturday came after Wednesday. I mean, I know we all wish it did, but I also want those kids to actually learn English.
Anyway, that's the story of how karma is on Michael Cera's side. What a morning.
I like to think that I just wasn't completely awake yet and would have spoken up earlier if I had had time for coffee… But who even knows.
I BLAME YOU, MICHAEL CERA. At least in the end I got some good lunch info. And a good story.
And here's a recipe for the dangerously delicious scones that I should have been telling you about, but you're happy you got a story instead, right? (Srsly though, lemon and basil is a winning combo. Please make these scones. And please don't laugh at Michael Cera.)
Lemon Basil Scones with 2 Ingredient Lemon Glaze
For the scones:
3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
¾ tsp. salt
¼ c. granulated sugar
½ c. (1 stick) cold unsalted butter or earth balance, cut into small cubes
¾ c. nondairy milk mixed with ¾ tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice*
1 large egg
Zest from one lemon
2 tbsp. to ¼ c. chopped fresh basil
1 beaten egg, for brushing scone tops before baking
Lemon Glaze:
1.5 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp. lemon juice (use the lemon you zested for the scones)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter until the mixture feels like sand.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and vinegar mixture. Add to flour mixture ¼ cup at a time and stir until the mixture comes together in a soft dough. You might not need all of the liquid. Fold in the zest and basil.
4. Turn dough onto a floured cutting board and gently flip it over itself about 10 times. Pat into a wide rectangle one inch thick and about 4-5 inches tall. Cut the dough vertically into 4 smaller rectangles, then cut each rectangle in half diagonally to create 8 triangles. Arrange triangles a few inches apart on lined baking sheet. Brush each scone with beaten egg. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until scones are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Make the glaze: Combine the sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk thoroughly. If glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If glaze is too thick, add a little milk or water. Spoon glaze over scones and enjoy!
*If not dairy-free you can substitute buttermilk for the entire mixture, or make the mixture with dairy milk

Pauline Medrano sweats the small stuff. The District 2 City Council member has records documenting thousands of code violations and other nuisances she says she's reported to the city during daily district patrols. This attention to detail, contrasted against opponent William "Billy" MacLeod's somewhat amorphous grasp of the key issues in District 2, makes Medrano the better candidate.
The contrasts between the two could hardly be sharper. Medrano, 57, is soft-spoken and measured. MacLeod, a 42-year-old marketing consultant, is brash and quick to interject even before he has his facts straight. Medrano reports code violations; MacLeod suggests this wastes taxpayer dollars.
Medrano, the deputy mayor pro tem, might not be the most persuasive speaker, but she studies the issues and knows when it's important to listen. MacLeod rumbles forth, offering unworkable proposals backed by data of questionable accuracy.
Although the Medrano family's political dynasty is dogged by campaign irregularities, the council member's record is clean. MacLeod has had run-ins with the law dating to a 1987 DWI arrest. Asked when he was last arrested, MacLeod said 2006, but state records list a marijuana possession arrest in 2010.
We don't always agree with Medrano, especially when she defended a District 2 scrap metal yard's expansion onto land where the city attorney's office said it was operating illegally. This newspaper also would like to see her spend more time taking bolder leadership positions.
But MacLeod doesn't belong in this office. Medrano is voters' only real choice.

Is there any provision for TA/DA for attending second appeals perticularly when the appellant stays far away from SIC/CIC Hqrs.If otherwise it is a very costly affair?
Is there any provision for TA/DA for attending second appeals perticularly when the appellant stays far away from SIC/CIC Hqrs.If otherwise it is a very costly affair?
Sorry!! No. Attendance of appellant is not compulsory. When some one attend a hearing it is for his own purpose of getting the information sought for. When you need an information why should the government pay? However when you are summoned as a witness for helping the government, I believe, you are entitled for TA/DA
True attendence is not compulsory but when he does not represent the decision most likely be one sided for PIO/FAA.In fact one appeals when one's right got denied by PIO/FAA.Normally PIO/FAA denies under section as
1.Application or appeal not given any response or
2.Use of Cl of exception Sec.8 wrongly interpreted suiting their purpose of not giving i.e to save the offenders if any from punisment.
3 Genuine cause too.
When appeal order in favour of appellant,true PIO/FAA was wrong,then why the appellant shall bear the cost ,huge cost of travel at the fault of PIO/FAA ,the employess of Public Authority,why not public authority is directed to pay TA/DA to appellant when he succeeds.There is provision of penalty for erring PIO why not a provision for compensation?Can SIC/CIC direct compensation in terms of cost to appellant for his travels/lodging and incidentals.This will definitely give an indication to take decision judiciously by PIO/FAA perticularly in situation 1 and 2 as above.Or else they will all show path of 2nd Appeal to the appelants,SIC/CICs are ultimately flooded with appilications as of now.Appellants to pay or spend a ransom for his informations of course genuine .May be some are public interest litigation cases .Why not compensation made at least for them
Should this matter be brought before law commission or any writ be filed before Apex court for this by RTI India.Org.Expenditure can be pooled on from volunteers including myself!

IC can order compensation to information seeker, if information is wrongly or malafidely denied. In relief column of second appeal, we should include prayer for reimbursement of expenses and loss sustained due to wrongful denial or delay of information.
It takes each of us to make difference for all of us.
As far as CIC is concerned, following are cases where compensation has been awarded to the appellant:
1. Appellant turned up for hearing but respondent (PIO/AA) did not
2. PIO/AA did not come prepared for the hearing
3. Appellant could justify that denial of information led to his wasting
time, money and efforts
4. Appellant was harassed and victimised because he submitted a RTI application
5. PIO did not inform AA details and appellant could not file First Appeal
6. PIO/AA ask for one more hearing of CIC
In some of the above cases either TA has been given (money for 2nd class AC) or respondents have been asked to provide the appellant with a valid ticket.
In one case (I think it was Vaishnavi v/s IIM Bangalore), because the hearing was held 3 times since IIM was not prepared and wanted to present additional evidence and arguments, Vaishnavi was awarded to and fro air fare. Vaishnavi is physically challenged.
Twitter: @cjkarira
There is no harm asking for "avoidable expenditure solely attributable to PIO/AA",since it has precedence. And ,preferable and comparitively less taxing to prove are reasons 3 and 4 of Karira's comments/post. You have nothing to loose,everything to gain. I will definitely suggest go for it.

it seems either way I disable the Wi Fi by the 'switch' itself or 'Airplane' mode it is a pain to get it on and have to manually 'disable the entire WiFi and then enable it joggin the WiFi off and on til it seems to catch on I am trying to turn it back on. I am only trying to turn it off to save battery right now but is this normal? Will a fix be forth coming because i'ts a pain right now.
I have not tried the audio but I figured out the WiFi issue, update you're tablet with all dells venue 8 pro drivers and software, if it says the driver or software is newer than what's being installed cancel that installer and move to the next one. Next, toggle Bluetooth off then back on and keep Bluetooth on, I've not lost WiFi yet since I did all that. Good luck!
All of the problems described here are also happening on the Venue 11 Pro. If the tablet is left unused for a few hours, the wireless goes to sleep and won't wake up. This happens even if the tablet Power Management Sleep setting is Never, and happens whether or not the unit is plugged in. Usually toggling Wireless off and on using the charm will fix it. But today I had to go into Control Panel and disable/enable the wireless network adapter to get it to wake up.
This is similar to a problem that Dell machines used to have with the wireless power plan settings. However, on this tablet the driver software seems to be incomplete as it does not have wireless power plan settings. I don't think it is a defective adapter, I think it is defective software.
Matter of fact there is :P
I discovered that todays updates (12/10) have broken the wifi again. The fix is to delete windows update (KB2903939).
Im not sure what Dell is waiting for in regards to fixing these incompatible windows updates with its firmware. (I installed the latest 12/9 firmware)
I would go ahead and disable windows updates from automatically installing updates. If you really want to be up to date, youll have to update each update 1 by 1 to weed out the bad ones.
Hope this helps!
I also have a WIFI issue with my new Dell Venue 8 Pro. WIFI connectvity is lost after the tablet goes into sleep mode. After waking from sleep mode the status of my WIFI shows limited connectivity. The only way to get it back up is to disconnect from my network manually and reconnect. I've tried reinstalling the latest Dell Drivers but no change. It's very annoying.
I wanted to update that my access point is a Netgear R7000 and they have a reported issue with wireless disconnections that sounds very similar to what I had reported. They feel this is an issue with their access point and so I need to withdraw the issue as a potential issue for me on the Venue 8 Pro - for now anyways!
It would be handy to provide Netgear logs of the specific behaviors of the card when the disconnection occurs - can anyone tell me how to capture detailed wlan status change information?
Having the exacts same issues. Have tried already these steps with no solution. Talked to Dell Support (useless) and surprised that they are not aware of this universal issue
- Updated driver to latest version - Did not resolve
- Updated chipset - Did not resolve
- Updated BIOS - Did not resolve
- Hard reset the entire unit - Did not resolve
- Changed setting to "metered" ON - Did not resolve
- reset TCP/IP - - Did not resolve
Not sure what else to try... but getting to a point that not worth time to keep the unit and continue to have issues.
My network router is a Linksys WRT54G. It's been running solid as a rock for over 5 years. I have two other Dell XPS Laptops using wifi with this network and they both work fine without issues. Only the Venue 8 Pro seems to have this issue after going to sleep mode. I also tried turning sleep mode off in settings and the prblem is still there.
I am also having the issue. I have a Trendnet GEW-633R wireless AP / router, but I don't think the AP manufacturer is the problem. It seems obvious to me that this is either a hardware flaw or a driver issue. The WiFi connection will simply cut out (and not ever reconnect) while I am actively using the tablet. The only way to re-establish the connection (other than rebooting) is to either disconnect from the wireless network and reconnect (which works some of the time), or to turn off all WiFi and turn it back on (which always works).
I can sometimes go hours with it working fine, and there never seems to be a pattern for when it fails.
It is likely there is more than one problem at work here for several of us - working with their tech support would be a good way to work the specifics of your issue. I was pretty convinced my problem had to be the Dell because I had 10 other devices on this access point and only the Dell was showing the disconnect issue - seemed like a reasonable diagnosis - until Netgear chimed in that they were seeing disconnects in rare situations. I think the lack of better diagnostics when the link drops is a real problem - when the link drops we have no way of really knowing what's going on - we're flying blind.
Try these tweaks....
Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your network adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.
Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance.

- There is No "power management" in Venue Pro
Additional to my last message that I have already replaced the unit so the issue is not with the hardware... it is something else.
- Also tried to make static IP instead DHCP - no solution
running out of ideas.... have already called Dell support and I don;t think they have either a solution.
"Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance." is not an option in Venue Pro 8
What type of security are you using in your wireless router?
What channel?
I am not sure of what is being used in this, but trying to help.
If it's possible, Can you run Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and REGISTERED OWNER, and/or run an ipconfig /all log and post it back here.
You can go to device manager? If yes, device manager, network adapters. Double Click on your network adapter. Do you have a Power Management tab? If yes, uncheck the box, allow Windows to turn off this device to save power.
Click on advanced. Does this adapter have Antenna Diversity? If yes, change the Antenna Diversity from Auto to Aux.
What virus program and firewall do you have installed?
What type of security are you using in your wireless router? - WPA
What channel? - 6
I have 2 Mac, 2 Windows 7 wireless desktop, 2 iPADs & iPAD mini connected to the same router with NP. Also to test I disconnected Venue from my home network and connected to Xfinity public wifi and still same problem.
If it's possible, Can you run Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and REGISTERED OWNER, and/or run an ipconfig /alllog and post it back here. - Will do later today
You can go to device manager? If yes, device manager, network adapters. Double Click on your network adapter. Do you have a Power Management tab? If yes, uncheck the box, allow Windows to turn off this device to save power. - No Power Management tab
Click on advanced. Does this adapter have Antenna Diversity? If yes, change the Antenna Diversity from Auto to Aux. - No
What virus program and firewall do you have installed? - None
As mentioned in my last message that I have already replaced the Venue Pro with a new and still the same problem.
Does anyone have ideas to how to escalate this issue to Dell US Support? Dell India Support is useless and they just read/refer to what is in the manual... this issue seems to be beyond that.
Try channel 11?
I use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings I use channel 11. You can get faster speeds using WPA2 and maybe with WPA-AES but some wireless devices do not like this type of security.
Update on router settings (sorry was looking at wrong router)
Security mode: WPA2/WPA Mixed PersonalChannel: 9 - 2.452 GHz
Trying with Channel 11
My AP is now set to channel 11.
It was set to WPA2 only and "AES or TKIP". When I tried setting to TKIP and WPA (per the recommended doc), the tablet couldn't connect. After setting to WPA and AES, I was able to connect.
Will report back on what happens, and whether this helps.
I have the new linksys smart wi-fi EA4500 and has only settings as in the image..

When conducting a reduction in force (RIF), it's vital to handle severance offers carefully. Make sure you don't needlessly give discharged employees the idea that they can file an age-discrimination lawsuit when you offer severance pay in exchange for signing a waiver promising not to sue.
The Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) requires you to provide laid-off employees a list of the ages and job titles of employees scheduled for termination. You must provide enough information to allow them to judge whether age discrimination may have entered into the RIF decisions.
But there's no need to release companywide figures, especially if those figures show many older workers are about to lose their jobs.
You'll satisfy your legal obligation by releasing data only about the pool from which you selected employees for the RIF.
Recent case: When McDonald's restructured operations nationwide, it merged 38 regions into 21 and slated 500 jobs for layoff. Carolyn Burlison and four other older employees were among 66 out of 208 who lost their jobs when three regions merged into one.
McDonald's gave Burlison and the others a list of the ages and job titles of every employee in the three merged regions, identifying terminated employees as well as those who kept their jobs. It offered them severance pay in exchange for a promise not to sue. They all accepted the offer but sued anyway, alleging that the fast-food giant should have provided information on employees in all of its regions.
The 11th Circuit disagreed, saying McDonald's was obligated to provide information only about employees in the new region. (Burlison, et al., v. McDonald's Corporation, No. 05-13991, 11th Cir., 2006)

I'm a bit biased but I like it
Striking pose, lots of detail. Anatomically good interpretation- the wings look like adapted paws, as they should.
As a sort of badge/logo its perfect, I suppose- red dragon person for Red Dragon with a apt background.
To truly inspire me as a painting- 10/10 it would have to resolve into a bit more detail on Full Size, with a more realistic look. It looks just a bit too shiny/plasticky perfect unlike a real, living character, without a flaking scale or a scrap of dirt, no craters on the moon and the wings are too symetrical for a figure standing at an angle. If it had maybe a nick out of an ear or a few scatches on the blade it might look like it had the neccesary experience to actually win that battle.
Your interpretation of the legs is interesting. The claws look like talons, as most dragons are given, but you have raised the animal up onto its toes, digitigrade like a cat or dog, with a dew claw. That would mean it is geared up for running, rather than grasping with claws from on the wing, like an eagle- which given that it has forepaws like a human, makes a kind of jack-of-all-trades sense for an animal blessed with six limbs.
Thank you for commenting on my work! It's been sometime now that anyone took the time and tell me what to improve on and what's wrong or right in my pictures.
On deviantART every buddy are to layback, That's not bad but it's a little bother some when you even ask for some Critique and they wont give you any and say it's perfect while it's not.

Gandhi-Irwin Pact, agreement signed on March 5, 1931, between Mohandas K. Gandhi, leader of the Indian nationalist movement, and Lord Irwin (later Lord Halifax), British viceroy (1926–31) of India. It marked the end of a period of civil disobedience (satyagraha) in India against British rule that Gandhi and his followers had initiated with the Salt March (March–April 1930). Gandhi's arrest and imprisonment at the end of the march, for illegally making salt, sparked one of his more effective civil disobedience movements. By the end of 1930, tens of thousands of Indians were in jail (including future Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru), the movement had generated worldwide publicity, and Irwin was looking for a way to end it. Gandhi was released from custody in January 1931, and the two men began negotiating the terms of the pact. In the end, Gandhi pledged to give up the satyagraha campaign, and Irwin agreed to release those who had been imprisoned during it and to allow Indians to make salt for domestic use. Later that year Gandhi attended the second session (September–December) of the Round Table Conference in London.

Kokomo HS Athletic Director Jim Callane '64 Announces Retirement
February 8, 2005
February 8, 2005, Greencastle, Ind. - "After 40 years in the education field, including 29 with Kokomo Center Schools, Kokomo High School athletic director Jim Callane said he's had enough," begins an article in Indiana's Kokomo Tribune on the 1964 DePauw University graduate. "Callane's retirement, approved at Monday night's school board meeting, takes effect at the conclusion of this school year."
Callane tells the newspaper, "You kind of know when it's time to get out of coaching and you also know when it's time to get out as an athletic director. I thought about retiring last year, but didn't. It's been fun, but it's time to step away and do other things."
The story notes, "Callane is a 1960 graduate of Rushville High School where he lettered in football, baseball and basketball. He continued his basketball career at DePauw University and in 2002 was inducted into DePauw's Athletic Hall of Fame."
Writer Dave Kitchell adds, "He taught at Spencer, Rushville, Danville and Linton before coming to Kokomo, where in 1976-77, he took over as varsity boys basketball coach at Haworth High School. He stayed in that position until the reorganization of Kokomo and Haworth in 1984. Callane replaced Ron Barsh as Kokomo High's athletic director in 1987-88 and during his tenure, three times received the Charles F. Maus Distinquished Service Award. He was also named Athletic Director of the Year in District II in 1997. While Callane has been the school's athletic director, Kokomo teams have won four state championships and five North Central Conference All-Sports Awards."

McCarty's Jewelry was established in Belmont Shore in 1932, back when this sleepy little beach town was growing fast and was far enough away from downtown for small businesses to spring up and be supported by the community. The original location was actually down the block on the south side of 2nd St. where Chase Bank stands today. In 1958, the store moved to its current location here at 5011 E. 2nd St. and has remained a fixture in Long Beach. McCarty's Jewelry has had four owners in it's 80 plus years in business which is testimony to its roots as a "family business". The original McCarty family owned the business from 1932 to 1963. Then it was purchased by Bob & Ann Weeks who owned it from 1963 to 1982. Frank Rooney & Gary Borden bought the store in 1982 and in 1988 Page Henley, the current owner, joined them as a third partner. Page, now the sole owner, has maintained the integrity of this historic Long Beach retail establishment and brought it into the 21st century.
Although McCarty's Jewelry is a contemporary jewelry store, we still maintain traditional values of superior customer service and long term, personal relationships with our customers. This has been our company mission and the reason for our longevity.

I'm glad you're enjoying SS1! It's such a superb game that gets too little attention in my eyes. And I agree that $20 for the figurine isn't worth it, but as I mentioned before, that's not the reason I personally bought the Limited Edition. If anything, the pics I put up flatter the figurine a bit. He's a cute little guy but the craftsmanship (if such a word can be applied to an mass-produced resin figurine made in China) is pretty poor. Nevertheless, he now protects my servers with an iron fist… err… tunneling bit?
I should mention that lil' Big Daddy stands quite well on his own, balanced by what feel like weighted tanks on his back, but is heavy and has a pretty high center of gravity, so I wouldn't set him somewhere where he or the surface he is on is going to get bumped.

So, continuing on the thread of Everything is an object, let's look at other items in the C# language that you might want as an object.
References. See our previous work on IReference & friends for an example of how this can be powerful.
Expressions. Suppose you could do:
Expression e = new Expression (1 + 2);
int x = e.Evaluate();
q = customers.select (zipcode = 90210);
Note that I don't pass a string here; I really pass a C# expression. We see something like this with anonymous methods, but I'm going a bit further here.
Got any other ideas?

RealNetworks' 2Q results reflect restructuring
Seattle Times technology staff
RealNetworks' second-quarter financial results, reported Wednesday, reflected continuing efforts to revamp and restructure the company.
For the quarter, the Seattle digital media company reported sales of $65.5 million, down 21.8 percent from $83.8 million a year ago. At the same time, the company swung to a profit of $81 million, or $2.32 a share, from a loss of $6.8 million, or 20 cents a share, a year ago. The results reflect the sale of patents to Intel for $117.9 million, as well as $3 million in sales of other assets.
"It's clear that there's a lot of work to do to get RealNetworks back on track," interim CEO Rob Glaser said in a statement. "We are moving quickly to put a plan in place to do so."
Glaser, founder of RealNetworks, returned to the top post after former CEO Thomas Nielsen resigned in July, less than a year after taking the job.
The company said revenue declined in various segments of its business, including a 22 percent decrease in emerging projects, 15 percent in core products and 31 percent in games.
The company forecast sales of $59 million to $62 million in the third quarter. It also said that because it expects "significant restructuring activities" in the second half of this year, it would not be providing full-year guidance.
RealNetworks released its results after the market closed. The company's shares were unchanged in after-hours trading. In the regular trading session Wednesday, they closed up 5 cents at $8.04.

Windows 7 HoPr Install Problems on x64 machine.
Hello everyone
( i am new to these forums, so bear with me in case i make a mistake or two )
I have recently had some quite serious problems with my system. I had the 41 kernel-power issue, due to an imcompatibility with my internet browser. After a while, it got worse, and when i turned my PC on, the ON light would almost instantly go away, as if it had stopped working. Then after a few moments it would suddenly come back to life and make the usual first BEEP, but it would just stop there, and my monitor would'nt even react to it. Then it would be luck based, whether or not it would load Windows. it did hoever, from this point always load the Packard bell startup screen, where i could enter Bios and such.
After a few minutes this morning, the computer was running fin, until suddenly a crash in IE. no big deal, as i was used to this, but when i tried to restart the computer, it turned itself off quickly, again and again...
After a long time of hopeless on/off'ing, it finally loaded up windows ( i suppose its actually loading the C: drive, as windows never ACTUALLY appeared ). Onstead of the ordinary Bios menu:
Start windows normally, safe mode blablabla, it came up with startup repair and start windows normally. i chose repair, fixed it, but none of the options had an impact on the startup. Finally, i decided "Whatever" and Told it to reinstall windows ( While backupping my files, that is ).
It seemed like a success, and when it finally finished, it came up with an error, saying that windows could'nt be installed to the drive. it then restarted, and i nervously waited. it then came with the message: Installation is starting sevices. (my translation )
Right after this, it would give me the message: Windows could not complete the installation. Restart The Installation to install Windows.
It has looped like this for a while now.
i decided not to turn it off in bios menu, as i would not benefit from it atm.
To Cut right to the chase: i need HELP installing windows. i WOULD PREFER if i could keep my data, but the alternative i can live with...
Before you say anything, the computer came with installed windows.
i have run RAM dianostics through a windows repair that i burned onto a disk.
Thank you for taking your time reading this post.
System Specs:
Intel Core i5
6gb. ddr3 RAM
nVidia geForce 460 GT
*No data regarding MOBO*
my tower has more than sufficient cooling, and i have not modified anything, except for an added ( clean ) HDD and a wireless internet card.
Again, Thank you for your Attention.
EDIT: I am currently not able to enter either Windows ( in safe mode or anything )
Or the original Startup repair which includes the install/uninstall tools.
(i am atleast not AWARE of any ways to open the installed repair )
EDIT - EDIT: I have acquired ADMIN CMD and a primitive version of windows EXPLORER, allowing me to open hidden folders, and backup more or less what i want to keep, to my Ext. Hard Drive.
According to my right click Options, i AM able to Format the Windows installation drive from here
( as far as i know ) however, i wont do it just yet, as i would like to hear your response(s) and perhaps i am making a huge mistake by doing it?
Thanks once more, for your Attention :P

Work through these steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. There is a step to rescue data from an unbootable OS.
To get the cleanest slate for your reinstall first wipe the HD with Diskpart Clean Command
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2012
First, let's rescue your data.
One approach is to burn Puppy Linux to a CD and use Puppy Linux to copy your data over to an external usb drive or to a usb stick.
Puppy Linux Community Home - Getting Started
A more common approach is to use a Win 7 System Repair Disc.
Since your system is rather non-functional, then you will need to create the System Repair Disc on another Win 7 computer.
If your Win 7 is the 32 bit variety, then the other computer must also be 32-bit win 7.
If you are running Win 7 64 bit, then go to another 64 bit win 7 system to make the disc.
Making the disc is very simple:
START | type System Repair | Enter key | Create Disc button
You boot FROM the System Repair Disc, go to a command prompt and then use the good old dos copy command to copy everything dear to your heart to a usb stick or usb drive.
1) Insert System Repair Disc into optical reader.
2) Shutdown computer.
3) Boot up computer from the System Repair Disc
4) A SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS dialog appears.
5) NEXT button
6) select Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows
7) NEXT | Choose Command Prompt
Run desired commands and type EXIT when finished.
Remove the System Repair Disc.
Shutdown computer.
Power on computer.
If your computer doesnt boot from the optical drive, then
Immediately after pushing your Power ON button,
start tapping the F2 key to get to the BIOS to change the boot order
On some computers, Immediately after pushing the Power ON button,
start tapping the F12 key and choose CD/DVD to change the boot order
only for this time.
After completing these steps, then we need to determine why your computer is not working correctly. I strongly suspect a hardware problem.
Let me know when the backup is finished.
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2012
I have successfully moved everything that i want to my External HDD. now i just need to know how to, and what drive i should format.
i Have run CMD and explorer exe, using the Repair disk i made from my laptop.
ooh, and additional info includes:
When i open the "Computer" folder in explorer, i can see rather many Drives.
RECOVER ( E: ) Packard Bell ( F: )
Before the Crash, i had 3 HDD's in my system.
i SUPPOSE the new ones, are "partitions" or
Ghost drives for installation purposes. etc.
( buffallo is my external HDD, and DATA D, DATA G and Packard Bell F are the original 456gb drives)
In case it matters, The backup i made was transferred to Packard Bell ( F: ), from which i moved what i needed to the External.
|My System Specs

Did you know that underneath the area where you type in a reply, there is an "Additional Options" section.
One of the options is to disable smilies in text. eliminates the problems caused with drive letters.
Any way, carry out following so that I'm 100% certain of what partition is where.
Run disk management:
WIN | type DISKMGMT.MSC | ENTER
This method gives you a display without the unneeded navigation pane.
WIN=key with Microsoft logo on top.
Maximize the output of Disk Management:
Maximize the output of Disk Management:
ALT-Spacebar key combo | X key (selects Maximize) |
Drag the field separators (such as between Status and Capacity) to show entire field.
Make a snapshot:
WIN | type SNIPPING | ENTER | New
Drag the cursor around the area you want to snip.
File | Save as | select save location and name | Save
Post the snapshot:
Post a File or Screenshot in Seven Forums
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2012
Screenshot, as requested:
Thank you for the tip, really helpful since i was a bit annoyed by the drive letter thing.
So Anyways, i noticed your reply and hit the power button, only to be greeted with... Nothing.
after 3 or 4 attempts it finally loaded my drive, and i opened cmd and typed in the diskmgmt.msc.
As usual, i did this while the "windows could not complete installation.... was open.
When i do the dskmgmt.msc enter ( holding down Win key ) it shuts down, as the enter key also hits the Ok option.
I therefore opened CMD and ran diskmgmt.msc. I could not get the WIN snipping stuff to work ( probably made a mistake ) BUT i did make the "screenshot" using my laptop Cam.
IF any relevant information is lacking, please let me know, as i can easily make the snapshot from another angle, with other information ( although not much is missing )
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2012
sorry , but that is rather useless.
try again with the snipping tool.
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2012
i just tried the snipping again, but without success.
i enter the error code installation screen and hold down WIn key.
While holding it, i type "diskmgmt.msc" and hit enter ( while still holding down the win key)
Instead of opening the diskmgmt, it takes the enter as-if i wanted to hit the Ok, and restart button in the error message.
I am clearly doing something wrong, so if you could do me the favor of a (slightly) more detailed guide, i'd be in deep joy.
Also, Thank you for the very quick responses. I am grateful, that you are taking the time helping me.

Work through these steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. There is a step to rescue data from an unbootable OS.
To get the cleanest slate for your reinstall first wipe the HD with Diskpart Clean Command
Did you unplug the other HD's before install? Did you wipe the HD?
We have a 100% install rate here for those who cooperate. You haven't started yet.
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2012
Sorry for this.
By other HD's, do you mean the Installed HDD's, or the external?
in either case, i had no external storage devices connected to the PC, while i was doing the reinstallation.
Neither have i "Wiped" any of my Hdd's, Though, the installation DID apparently do something.
obviously, for windows to be installed, it needs to clean the drive, and re-partition it. how it manages to make the backup, i do not know, however if i could just find a way to [U]SAFELY[U] Wipe the Drive ( and to know Which drive i need to wipe ), i could probably install it from startup.
Here's how i see the "dream scheme"
Wipe the HDD with corupted windows files.
Start up the computer, which will have no OS and AFAIK run the windows installation from the X: drive.
install windows, and if there are no Hardware failures, i can go back to my ordinary routine ( though i might spend a bit more time on this forum )
However, i am obviously prepared for any kind of "no no" and professional advice on how to do this.
Once again, sorry GregRocker
