Hello SIW2.
So this helps clear up what I've just done; as this is my disk management shot.
Just to confirm: Windows 7 is now ready to be removed with no problem; correct?
For those that don't know; this is the thread I started about this earlier.

Sooo, seems that I should be fine with removing 7 from my second hdd as the Vista OS partition on disk 0 is the one marked active.
Why is my external drive also marked as active?

Hi Gary,
There can be one Active partition per hard drive.
You may have seen this referred to as "Flagged On" if you have used Linux, or a Linux tool such as Gparted.
If you right click an inactive partition in Disk Management, you will get an option to "Mark partition as Active ". (Do not do this - the other partitions on that drive would then be inactive and you won't be able to boot.)
First you need to boot into Vista. Then remove the 7 boot files using Easy BCD.
Then, in Vista's Disk Management, right click on the 7 partition and format it. Or you could delete the 7 partition if you want to change the partition sizes on that drive.
Barefoot kid - looks the same procedure for you too.
Hope it helps

Hi Mr Grim,
B ( in this view ) contains Vista boot files and Win7 boot files , it also contains Vista o/s.
C ( in this view ) contains Win7 o/s files.
Your external hd is marked as active as there is only one partition.
If you carve it into several partitions with Disk management , i.e shrinking from the right - you will find the partition on the left ( with lower address numbers on the hd ) will remain the Active partition by default.
Hope that helps

Hi Smarteyeball,
Thanks for posting the screenshot - it's interesting.
I installed 7 first on a new HD and then Vista after 7. Your setup may be different:
7 created a small (200mb) partition at the beginning of the drive (containing all the boot data) and then installed itself on the next partition.
So my system looks like:
Hd0,0 (200mb boot data)
Hd0,1 (107GB Windows 7 6801)
Hd0,2 (195GB Vista x64)
Hd0,3 (290GB Data)
Both 7 and Vistas boot data reside on the 200MB partition. In my case, deleting that 200MB partition will wipe out Vista's boot as well.
Was that a new hd that you partitioned with Win7 during the installation ?
Everyone else seems to have installed after Vista and got the expected result , i.e. 7 installs it's boot files on the existing Active partition ( which for most people is the partition that already contains Vista's boot and o/s files ).
As you installed 7 first , it seems to have made it's own additional first partition.
Anybody else done the same thing, and got the same result?
It's a good thing as you can make an image of that 200mb partition to restore in an emergency. I have the Paragon Drive Backup, which lets you make a small bootable cd - so you can boot in , find the backup image and restore it - I assume Acronis etc are pretty much the same?
You could try using EasyBCD to remove the 7 boot files from the 200mb partition.
You might find that Vista doesn't know they've been removed and will still show 7 as a boot option. In that case it can be deleted from the boot tab in msconfig.
It will be fun to see how this pans out for us all

Vista, XP, 7, Debian
Wait, so SIW2, what you're saying is (assume fresh install on a clean hard drive), if I had a 100GB HD and I (hd0,0) was a 200MB partition and the rest 99.8GB was (hd0,1), I can guide the 7 installer to install boot files to the 200MB partition?
Does that mean that when I get to the disk management page in the setup, that I select (hd0,0) as my installation partition? or will it automatically install the boot files to the first partition?
As for a backup of my boot record (not windows boot files), I use HD Hacker to create a raw image of my MBR just incase.
Also, just to clear something up with the 'active' partition thing. I recall when I installed OS X, I had to mark my 4th primary partition dedicated towards it as 'active' through the command line. I then decided to boot up GParted and check how the flags were re-associated, and my Vista partition was no longer the boot partition, (hd0,3) was. This insured that my MBR was not touched, and Darwin was installed to the bootsector of (hd0,3) - my question, does the same go for Windows?
Say I had GRUB on the MBR, can I tell Windows not to touch the MBR by flagging my second partition (or whichever partition I want to install it onto) as 'active'/boot?
Thanks for all the info so far everyone.

Brian Janezic, 27, was in the equipment room of one of the two Auto Wash Express self-service locations he owns in Tucson, Ariz., going through his cleaning supplies and vending machine items to determine what to reorder, when it hit him.
"We have machines that automatically size and wash a car, mix chemicals, activate pumps, turn on lights — and here I am still counting inventory by hand," he said.
An online search introduced him to FileMaker Pro, a software product well suited to small businesses and tailored to the iPads that Janezic envisioned for himself and his three remote employees — not to mention the employees serving the six Arizona Auto Wash Express locations owned by his parents.
"Now we can pull up any of our sites and see what's on hand," he said. And FileMaker "creates a PDF of a purchase order for us to send to one of our local suppliers or an online supplier."
That was only part of the savings. Before Janezic installed sensors on the carwash chemicals, monitoring use meant taking a yardstick to each drum, noting liquid levels and measuring again a week later. Gallons consumed divided by the number of cars washed told him how much of each solution was used per wash.
"Now we're able to monitor those levels continuously," he said. "So instead of having two data points in the span of a week, we'll have 500 data points. And we can do that across our entire company."
Increasingly available
A wealth of information that some call big data is becoming increasingly available to small businesses. Such information was once available only to big corporations with vast computing power and deep information technology departments — and more recently to online startup companies with data-mining capabilities.
In 2010, just 1.7 percent of small businesses were using business intelligence software, according to a survey of companies with fewer than 100 employees conducted by IDC.
By last year, 9.2 percent had adopted such tools, said Ray Boggs, a small-business market analyst at IDC. He cited easier-to-use products and lower prices as prime drivers of the increase.
"You don't need a degree. You don't need a manual," said Ramon Ray, co-creator and host of the annual Small Business Summit, where entrepreneurs meet with technology and marketing experts. "You can drag and drop spreadsheets, upload a file — even from your phone. The new tools provide better customer insights, so you know better what to sell them or what not to sell them; you can see which of your products has the best profit margin. You don't have to do things on gut check anymore."
Monitoring posts
With price plans starting at $3 a user a month, one such software tool, Desk.com, helps small businesses address customer feedback — not just by pooling and parsing emails to customer service reps but also by monitoring Facebook feeds, Twitter comments and Yelp posts to help quell brush fires promptly.
"Say you're a mom-and-pop dry cleaner and somebody says on Twitter, 'My dry cleaner is terrible. They broke all my buttons,'" said Leyla Seka, senior vice president and general manager of Desk .com. "That would show up in Desk. And then you could respond: 'Sorry, please bring your shirts back and we'll fix them immediately. And here's a 20 percent off coupon.'"
Andy Husbands is chef and owner at Tremont 647, a 100-seat restaurant in Boston. Husbands and his managers use a cloud-based tool called Swipely to monitor a variety of business metrics, many pertaining to customers.
Angus Davis, the founder and chief executive of Swipely, calls it "an affordable on-ramp to big data." By replacing payment processing companies that exist between merchants and the banks that issue consumer credit cards, Swipely gains access to a wealth of data, which it analyzes and presents on easy-to-understand dashboards, "more than half the time at little or no cost," Davis said.
"The crux of Swipely is using the data behind transactions to help businesses make smarter decisions," Davis said. "We've built specialized tools for retailers and restaurants that answer the types of questions those small businesses have, like which item on their menu is most likely to turn a first-time customer into a repeat customer. But answering that question requires us to look at a tremendous amount of data."

Georgia will go up against two former assistants under Mark Richt when it plays at Tennessee.
It could have been three.
Wide receivers coach Tony Ball, who has been on staff with the Bulldogs since 2006, interviewed in late February to be Tennessee's running backs coach, a position he coached for three seasons at Georgia.
"The opportunity was there," Ball said. "I went up and visited. I'm very appreciative of the fact that they were interested and they gave me an opportunity to come up and visit with them, and so I'm very appreciative of that. Obviously, with Willie (Martinez) and (John) Jancek being there and our prior relationships here, that had a contributing factor."
Ball got a $50,000 raise to bring his annual salary to $260,000.
"Tennessee's obviously a top-tier program, everybody knows that," Ball said. "It warranted my attention."
Georgia's receivers haven't missed a beat after top wideout Malcolm Mitchell went down with a torn ACL in the opener. Georgia's receiving corps also withstood season-ending knee injuries to Michael Bennett and Marlon Brown last season.
"Tony's done a great job," Richt said. "He's a great teacher. They all run good routes and they know what to do, and we're in a cycle where we've had guys around for a while. ... It's just so nice to have the same coordinator, the same receivers coach for all that time."

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by Roddickulous, Aug 16, 2013.
The new Prestige looks pretty good on tv in Haase's hands.
It does. Has he switched frames? Looks like no caps on his frame. He used a prestige mid didn't he?
How do you know this? What is your source? Head and the other tennis companies don't publicly release their sales figures. You're just assuming because of the evolving game and the trend of the MPs and Tweeners..
These came up when I clicked your link, but when I pulled up Racquet Finder and typed in the same thing they didn't come up.
Double post, sort of. These came up when I clicked your link, but when I pulled up Racquet Finder and typed in the same thing they didn't come up.
No I live here in Asia, I play tennis here and I know the majority of racquet shop owners in my city.:neutral: Trust me, Six-one team, Surge, Pro Staff 100 of Wilson; Aero Proteam & Pure Storm team of Babolat; Speed Elite & Radical S are best-sellers here. The average fitness, height and weight of Asian people is still relatively low, such things like Six-one 90 or Prestige Pro are mainly for collection purpose and of course their sale is much much lower.
This is getting interesting. Rev Pro stiffness = 61
But it vibrates like a tuning fork.
I am curious if grips + Cap grommets + pallet customization + string set up would ameliorate that.
Paint job......
Got any video and audio evidence of this mysterious music-related phenomenon?
Unfortunately there are no full CAP grommets. I used a multi when I tested the Rev Pro.
I played with it for week!
There are currently two pinging and singing Prestige threads at the same time so I'm curious to see and hear the Justin Bieber of the tennis world - a Prestige tennis racquet with vibrato.
All I can tell you is it has a lot of vibration that you can still feel while the ball is on the other side of the net. That's a very long duration.
I don't mind vibrations, they help me to feel connected to the ball even after it left the strings, making the contact feel "longer".
But I hate this jarring metallic cheap sound and feel.
Are those higher frequencies? Does vibration dampener help at all?
Yeah, because is Tommy Haas hitting with it!
He was referring to Robin Haase. He was playing Dimitrov the other night at the Brisbane international
A pt10 with no caps grommets?
Huh, I see...
When we tested Rev Pro it had Sonic Pro at a very low tension. Low to mid 40´s and the 3 guys that played it all loved the new Rev Pro. No bad guys either. One really good junior that has won matches on Future-level, one +45 year old that is one of Swedens best, and me
We all had the same sensation that it deliverd good power and control for such a light frame. It will be a very good platform-stick for customizing
vsbabolat has his own agenda. anything not in his 'definition' of a good racket is garbage. oh well his loss really.
exactly. in some good players hands it has very good feedback as you pointed out. i had the same experience with other juniors
How would you say it compares to the likes of Pure Strike, Pure Control, or Graphene Speed Pro? I know there's a significant weight difference but wondering about sweet spot, power, and comfort.
Let's hope there will be a cap grommet mod in the future
Honestly, VS is one of the most resourceful people on this board when it comes to racquets (besides the pro stringer users). I think him and ChicagoJack are the highest. They know their stuff..
i dont know about chicago jack, but vs is pretty funny. if head sent a bag of poop out of austria he would say it was fantastic. you believe whatever you want. i know what i know. i work in the industry.
I personally like Hankestein's feedback on frames. For example, he was right about the Organix Mids.
It seems to me that there is also an element of 'backinthedayism' as in back in the day of the Prestige and iPrestige when Head played great.
I quite like Head Prestige racquets at the moment, but yet to try Graphene. I like the concept behind the technology but the feel seems to be a possible problem.
Head seems to specialise inn alternating between more crisp/metallic and more soft/plush feeling racquets
agreed. hes stuck in the past. thats what he wants i guess. which is fine. my point is just that you shouldnt go on here and take his words as the 'truth'. his posts are merely his, not fact. do your own research, demo your own rackets. dont let some guy on the internet tell you 'this is the best'
I just like lookin at vsbabolat's avatar, she's pretty hot!
Well said, Z. Information such as "year made", "specs" are non-debatable in most cases and accepted as factual. However, when someone says a racquet sucks because it pings like a tuna fork (yes.. I did throw in an REO Speedwagon reference there!!), that's someone's OPIONION. Some of my players LOVE the sound of a loud ping.
I've had the Rev Pro as a gift from someone at Head mgmt. since mid - September and have loved hitting with it. I did add a bit of weight to make the racquet heavier, but I never felt it vibrate abnormally.. Maybe I'm still managing to hit the sweetspot, eh?
I know what I know too and know you're full of poop. I don't like everything out of Austria. You don't have any comprehension about me. I like quality muted frames that don't have tons of vibration. Yes, for its mass the Rev Pro has good power and stability but the feel is not nice.
I'm not stuck in the past. You don't read my post very closely I guess. I hit with many new racquets and give my honest assessment on the racquets. A lot of them I have liked quite a bit. Dont worry I wont let you tell me "this is the best" because you don't have very much experience.
To each their own. I played with it stock with a multi strung at midrange.
Look at Zappy big timing it. LOL. Amazingly classic poast.
With all due respect, why every time in a discussion about "jarring feel and sound" people divert to "good power and control for such a light frame"?
Right... The problem is, every adult knows this industry is full of bs. And your argument is a classic example of that.
We actually didnt experience any jarring feel and sound in the frame we tested. Rev Pro will be a pleasent surprise to many many players.
Hmm, so maybe Vsbabolat got a faulty sample?
I wonder why there is no playtesting going on with Graphene Prestige, like Babolat/TW do it with Pure Strikes? I mean, it's a major once in a decade redesign, and no early reviews or anything. So easy to assume the worst...
Honestly, I don't think many people here read your posts closely, and burn1986 knows why:
I know Head has been VERY clear with the fact that no information or anything else shall leak with those new Prestiges before the Aus Open.
The new Prestige MP is imo one of the best Head MP every. The base feels like a PT630 they have made 10 grams lighter and 1-2 pts stiffer
And yet they sent out demo frames to distributors etc. How is this policy even possible in this day and age? I still think the real reason was the frames were not finished and some last minute changes were to be made. And Vsbabolat et al. got some pre-production samples, hence the confusion.
This sounds almost too good to be true. We could only dream of PT630 re-issue in a lighter package and some extra oomph
Did you mean more muted like the speed and radical, kind of metallic feeling?
The Graphene Prestige MP was not metallic feeling. It feels fortunately nothing like the Radical.
Radical is feeling like a Babolat-frame in my world. What´s your thoughts of the new Radicals?
That's good news. In my opinion, Radical Pro felt metallic, and weirdly heavy to me, very unpleasant.
I have a head youtek radical mp 98. And i have no idea the grip size (bought 2 in 2009 and the Mark of the size is not visible anymore)
Any chance to know the size?? I think is 4 1/4 because i have an overgrip (tourna) and still is thin the grip so....
i want to buy the new graphene radical pro so i need to know the grip size.
Remove the grip and look at the pallet. Or you could just measure it around with the grip on and then get the same thing. Or just try some other Head racquets and see what feels right. Pretty simple.
I guess you haven't been paying attention
VSBab has given his opinion on the new radicals many many times.
Here, I'll save you some time...He hates them...very stiff.

Every time there's a notable cybersecurity breach, someone (even me) writes a comprehensive primer on the proper way to create "secure" passwords. Lather, rinse, repeat. Until a few years ago, everyone (including me) based their password advice on a 2003 paper from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the catchy title "NIST Special Publication 800-63." The paper recommended that passwords be cryptic, contain special characters, and be as close to nonsense as possible.
I was in a camp I called "How to Make a Cryptic Password You Can Easily Remember." The short version was this: take a phrase you know, such as a favorite quote from a movie, and use the first letter of each word. For example, Sheriff Brody's famous line from Jaws, "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat," becomes [email protected] The trick was using Leet (a technique where letters are replaced by numbers and symbols; see my post from July 2012, "Yahoo! Hacked: What You Need To Do Now") to add the numbers and special characters. But as you can see from the example, a password made in this way is total nonsense to everyone but you – unless you forget your favorite quote.
That Was Then
Right after the Sony Hack became public knowledge (circa November 2014), cybersecurity paranoia set in and everyone started grasping for ways to enhance their cyberdefenses.
Once again, passwords were in the spotlight, but two strategic camps had evolved. Camp one was advocating the creation of more-cryptic passwords and changing them often (like monthly), and camp two began advocating for the longest passwords possible, made from any words you like and left alone until there was a reason to change them. All my cybersecurity friends fell squarely into the second camp, advocating for the longest passwords possible. My thinking evolved and I fell into line with camp two.
Fast Forward to Today
According to the Wall Street Journal, Bill Burr (the man who wrote the NIST memo back in 2003 that recommended the cryptic craziness and frequent replacement guidelines) has had an epiphany. "Much of what I did I now regret," said Mr. Burr, 72 years old, who is now retired. If the reporting is accurate, he had very little evidence upon which to base the NIST's recommendations. (Sort of makes me think about the USDA Food Chart I grew up with. But that's for another article.) Why were Mr. Burr's assumptions wrong?
The Math
This very widely circulated cartoon from XKCD tells the story beautifully.
The key takeaway is that the longer the password is, no matter its complexity, the harder it is for a computer to guess.
Now What?
The good news is that Mr. Burr's old memo has been discarded and the NIST has published new Digital Identity Guidelines. The bad news is that it is going to take quite a while for these new guidelines to become widely adopted. Many sites limit the length of your password to "8-12 characters." If that's the case, you can't use a password that is long enough to be considered safe under the new guidelines. As you know, many sites (especially government sites) require a special character and a number for a password to be considered strong. In practice, it may be years before the Internet catches up. By then, we may not be using passwords at all.
No Passwords
For consumers, passwords are just a way to validate that you are who you say you are. If you forget your password, you can request an email, a txt, or in some cases a phone call to obtain a temporary replacement. So if there's another valid way to authenticate you, passwords really aren't necessary. Google, Facebook, and several other sites can be easily used to verify that you are who you say you are. If proper authentication protocols are used, any site could determine you are you by checking to see if you are properly logged in to Facebook or Gmail. Lots of sites already do this, and there are a host of biometric and multifactor identification and authentication schemas fighting to be the new new thing in secure Internet living. Password science is evolving quickly, but it's likely to be a hot mess for the foreseeable future.
So What Do I Do?
Do what the experts are now telling you to do. Start using the longest passwords possible. I would not use correcthorsebatterystaple, but "passwordswedontneednostinkinpasswords" will absolutely do the job.

A giggling Onyango Obama — the president's illegal alien half uncle — made a brief appearance in Framingham District Court today on charges he was drunk when he nearly struck an unmarked police cruiser last month.
Obama, 67, was visibly amused at the media spectacle, stifling laughter several times before his 30-second court appearance where a judge set a Nov. 17 pre-trial conference.
Advertisement - story continues below
Obama did not acknowledge a Herald reporter's question upon arrival at Framingham District Court and neither he nor his lawyer made any comment on his way out where they were followed to the parking lot by a horde of media.
His attorney, P. Scott Bratton, did, however, tell the Herald that Obama, who has been living illegally in the United States for nearly 20 years, has returned to work at Conti Liquors in Framingham.

Purifry is a versatile way to cook your family's favourites
The Purifry from Russell Hobbs uses technology to harness the cooking power of pure, fast-circulating air to cook family favourites like chips or chicken nuggets without using oil or fat. The coatings are still crispy and the taste will speak for itself.
Because there is no oil to heat it is fast and convenient
The Purifry is designed to be quick and easy to use. Unlike traditional fat fryers, there is no oil to heat so cooking time is reduced. As well as using less fat, the vapours and odours of fried food are reduced so all you will experience is the aroma of cooked food.
You can roast and bake with it too
With its sizeable 2 litre capacity drawer with food separator you can cook meat, fish and vegetables separately at the same time, just set the controls to the right temperature and time that you need. There's no paddle to break up the food, it only needs a shake half way through. What's more, you can whip up various baked treats such as scones, pies and cupcakes or even roasted joints, the versatility is endless. There is no messy oil to dispose of and it is dishwasher safe too making it quick and easy to clean too.
With the Russell Hobbs Purifry, you can roast, bake or fry a variety of ingredients making it a great multi-purpose addition to any kitchen.
Fast-circulating hot air
For fast and convenient dinners and snacks, the Purifry heats up quickly and cooks more efficiently than a conventional oven.
2 litre capacity drawer with food separator
With a sizeable drawer, you can cook a variety of vegetables, meat, fish, potatoes and the food separator feature allows you to do a couple of things at the same time.
No oil or fat required
As there is no need to use any oil or fat, meals are made healthier and with fewer added calories than when prepared using a traditional fryer requiring these additions.
Dishwasher Safe
With no oil to dispose of which would risk clogging up water systems, you can simply slip out the containers and wash them in the dishwasher. This makes cleaning up after use much simpler.

Daycare centers are a rising need of the day in Indian metros. But when it comes to sending your precious little one to a daycare center, sound judgment is more invaluable than blazing testimonials.
There are numerous daycare centers today, screaming for attention with fancy brand names. Don't fall prey to brand equity though. Look out for the ten most important things that a good daycare center should have, before you make this crucial decision.
1. Central location
Ideally a good daycare should be centrally located. It should have an easy access by road. If this is not possible, try to locate a good daycare center in your area that is in close proximity to your home or office, whichever you prefer. If you're a working parent and prefer to be close at hand for your child, a daycare near your office may be more suitable.
2. Accreditation
Ensure that any daycare you choose is duly accredited according to the state or country standards for daycare. This will give you an assurance of high quality care for your children.
3. Qualified personnel
Personnel are very important to the quality of an early learning center. Take the time to check that the center where you wish to send your child has qualified and competent personnel.
Attitude is important too. Pay attention to how the caregivers behave around you and the rest of the kids. You do not want an authoritarian caretaker who will bully your child. A completely meek caretaker is just as undesirable.
You might prefer that the caretaker has a gentle, yet firm, sense of authority. Find out what is the adult to child ratio. It should optimally be one adult for five to eight kids.
4. Doctor on call
Is there a qualified pediatrician or a nurse on call in case of an emergency? This may not seem important at first, but when your child is not with you, wouldn't you prefer it if you knew that there's a competent physician on hand should the need ever arise?
5. Open space
Children need an open space to foster their creativity. They need to run around and play. Cramped quarters hamper their growth. A good daycare center pays heed to this point and has at least a small open garden area where kids can play freely. They should also have a safe area for sleeping, if the kids are tired.
6. Non-toxic toys
Most daycare centers have a lot of toys with them. Some even have a toy library. Ask if the toys are non-toxic? Most small children have a habit of putting things in their mouth. You do not want anything that has harmful chemicals going into a child's mouth.
Are the toys age-appropriate? Do they have small detachable pieces? This is not such a problem with older kids. Younger kids, on the other hand, are at the risk of choking and asphyxiation if they ingest these pieces.
7. Basic kitchen
Some daycare centers serve food on-site. Others do not. Ensure that they have at least a basic and hygienic kitchen, where they can heat the food you've sent with your kids.
If they're serving the kids their own food, is it healthy, nutritious and clean? You do not want packaged or refined foods finding their way into your children's tummies.
8. Hygiene and sanitation
The surroundings need not be completely sterile. Lets face it – even our homes are never completely free of bacteria. But grossly unhygienic conditions are a complete no-no.
A good daycare will not only keep their place clean and dirt free, they will also teach the kids everyday hygiene, such as washing hands before meals. Kids pick up on things easily, given half a chance.
9. Fun activities
You do not want your kids to get bored when in the daycare center. Children tire of anything quite easily. Do they have activities designed to keep them stimulated? Water play and sand play are fun activities for most kids.
Supervised activities with clay are also wonderful for the kids. They love to make different shapes with clay. Interesting activities are fun for the kids, and do not stress them out when they are away from you.
10. Positive atmosphere
All in all, the atmosphere of the daycare center should be infused with positivity. If you were a stay-at-home parent, wouldn't you provide the same for your child? Why should your daycare be any different?
Good daycare centers are like a second home for your kids. Your children deserve all the tender loving care they can get. A good daycare center knows this, and does everything possible to provide a safe haven for your child.

You can share songs, pictures and videos across all your iOS devices, but why limit sharing to just those 3 things? Why not extend your invitation to allow sharing of your custom remote control configurations? Now this might sound somewhat ridiculous and perhaps you think I've gone off the deep-end, unless of course, you're someone who owns a VooMote Zapper.
The VooMote Zapper, by zero1.tv is a hardware/app configuration that turns your iOS device into this incredibly flexible smart universal remote control. The hardware is a small dongle that plugs into your 30-pin connector on your idevice, which strangely resembles the head of Darth Vader. It acts as an infrared transmitter just like a handheld remote control that you find in your home everyday.
The VooMote Zapper – Universal Remote Control app is the software that allows you to simulate the remote control of your AV equipment using your iOS device.
Easy app configuration
The app uses a step-by-step wizard to help you configure the remotes for your gadgets. Select from a database of remotes for TVs, DVD and Blu-ray players, audio components and even set-top boxes or have it "learn" from the ones you have. It also allows you to customize and identify which device it is and even which room it's to be used in making finding the right remote just a swipe or two away. You can even combine the most commonly used functions of multiple devices on one screen. In fact you can even create macros that simulate the execution of multiple button pushes and other functions with a single touch, so you don't have to commit hari-kari switching from one device to another.
The app is available as a free download from the App Store and the VooMote Zapper is available for $69.95 CDN at the Apple online store.
While the product is not new what is new is the latest update which adds the integration with iCloud allowing you to conveniently share your remote configurations as well as your custom setups you've created, across all your iOS devices.

Hi all, any special instructions on how to replace the Dell Dimension 8200 CR2032 CMOS battery located in the mobo? Thanks
Nothing special. Power it off before removing the battery. Just make sure you get the new one installed with the correct polarity.
The Dell manual doesn't even show anything on it.

Thanks fireberd, I posted this question because as you say the Dell manual does not mention any instructions on replacing the CMOS battery.
Will the BIOS settings be lost when replacing the battery? If so, should I take note of all the settings to be able to restore them afterwards? I read that even when the CMOS battery is removed, the mobo will keep the BIOS settings for about 15 minutes which is more than enough to place the new battery and not lose the BIOS config.
The BIOS will reset when the battery is removed. If you have any custom settings in the BIOS, make a note of those so you can reset them after you are done.

Hulk Hogan Tape: FBI to Meet With Wrestler Who Promises 'Someone Will Pay' (VIDEO)
Hulk Hogan is reportedly taking the leak of his sex tape to higher authorities after discovering the local police can do nothing to prosecute the person responsible for making the film public.
Hulk Hogan is looking to ensure that those responsible for the leaking of a private tape revealing an intimate encounter between Hogan and his friend, Bubba the Love Sponges', former wife, Heather Clem, are punished. It was initially believed that Hogan's best friend, Bubba, might have leaked the video. He is seen at the end of the film telling Clem that the footage could be worth a lot of money, according to TMZ.
After hearing the news, Hogan was more than ready to discard the friendship.
"If you had anything to do with this, that means we were never friends," he said according to TMZ.
But Bubba was later cleared from the accusations. During an interview on the Howard Stern show, Hogan appeared confident that his friend was not involved. Left without a culprit, Hogan decided to take the case to police. "Someone will pay," he said, according to TMZ.
But the police suggested that there was nothing they could do about it. The film was allegedly shot in 2006, two years beyond the four-year statute of limitations, meaning that charges could not be pressed.
The matter of the video being leaked crosses state lines which potentially makes it a federal issue.
"As a result, Hulk's lawyer says he has contacted the FBI to track down the sex tape leaker ... and bring that person to justice," TMZ reported.
Hogan allegedly has plans to meet with members of the FBI on Monday.

Bhavin Shah, CEO, Equirus Securities picks Hexaware as his favourite midcap IT stock. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Shah said, "Hexaware can deliver 20% plus dollar revenue growth in the calendar year 2012 with a target price of Rs 154."
Bhavin Shah, CEO, Equirus Securities picks Hexaware as his favourite midcap IT stock. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Shah said, "Hexaware can deliver 20% plus dollar revenue growth in the calendar year 2012 with a target price of Rs 154."
Besides this, Shah has a target price of Rs 310 for Gujarat Gas and is bullish on L&T Finance Holdings, upgrading its target price from Rs 47 to Rs 54.
Below is the edited transcript of his interview with CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying video.
Q: Hexaware has really been the start in the midcap IT space but, this time people were not so enthused by what they heard in Hexaware's guidance. How do you approach that stock and do you think there is still a case to be made for its last year like performance?
A: I think last year's performance is difficult to repeat but, we still think Hexaware can deliver 20% plus dollar revenue growth in the calendar year 2012. First quarter results and the commentary about 2nd quarter provided confidence that they remain on track.
A lot of other indicators were also quite robust. Contribution margin which is revenue minus cost of employees remains the best in the midcap category and the cost for employees is now among the lowest. They continue to pay very good dividends, 58% dividend payout in this quarter.
We were pretty happy with the results and on the back of a fall in rupee, assuming Rs 51 going forward, we increase our target price to Rs 154.
Q: That is assuming a 20% growth or do you think there will be through the course of this year some kind of guidance upgrades from the management?
A: We increased our estimates by about 6% in rupee terms and in terms of dollar revenue growth I think we are assuming just north of 20%.
So far there are no reasons to assume there will be guidance upgrade. The upside in the stock is purely going to come from delivering along these lines.
Obviously Hexaware - trades that are reasonable, multiple compared to its growth rates and as the growth continues, the share price can appreciate. Remember, there is very healthy dividend payout.
Q: What about Gujarat Gas, it's been embroiled in other kind of controversies etc but on the core numbers how did you read them?
A: Gujarat Gas has adopted the strategy of focusing more on the higher value added customer. They have been raising prices significantly and the impact is visible in their volumes.
Volume was below our expectations and has been soft for last two quarters. This quarter, it also had an impact on the margins which were below our expectations. The results were slightly better than the fourth quarter, the December quarter. So, there was an improvement from there.
For a meaningful improvement, we'll have to see and ultimately as you said, the big issue is the overhang with respect to regulation and so on. We actually have a short rating and target price of Rs 310 and until some clarity emerges it's difficult to get more positive on the stock.
Q: The big trigger also for Gujarat Gas was of course what happens in terms of that BG (British Gas) stake sale. Do you think that – there is a spanner in the works over there because of this PNGRB (Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board) note and the potential impact in terms of what exactly Gujarat Gas could finally get valued at?
A: Yes, absolutely! I think there were not too many bids first of all and there will be some revisiting of the valuation post the recent regulator ruling. It remains to be seen where that stake sale ends up at. Whether it happens or not and happens at what price.
Q: You have also picked out L&T Finance Holdings. What did you make of those numbers?
A: L&T Finance Holdings results came 16% (net profit) better than our forecast on the back of very good cost management. The costs were below our expectations and we also think that there is an improvement in asset quality.
Going forward, we think, it will continue and the credit growth rate has been very strong. This company has delivered very strong growth rates in the past as well. So, we upgraded the stock from neutral to long. We had previously set a target price of Rs 47, we upgraded to Rs 54 and also increased our estimates for FY13 and FY14 on the back of the results.

FABRICIO COLOCCINI has rejected suggestions that Newcastle United's players are lacking motivation and claimed there is a collective desire to ensure the club's fine start to the season is not undermined by a tame end to the campaign.
Coloccini returned from a seven-week absence to play a crucial role in Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa, a game that marked an end to a three-match losing run that had seen Newcastle concede ten goals without scoring.
Since the Argentinian suffered a knee injury in the New Year's Day defeat at West Brom, Newcastle's form has nose-dived, with the January departure of Yohan Cabaye contributing to a sense of growing unease and thwarted ambition.

With the Magpies safe from relegation, and unlikely to qualify for Europe even if both cup competitions are won by teams in the top five, is there anything to drive on the club's players in the final two-and-a-half months of the season?
It didn't look like it as they collapsed to a four-goal defeat against Spurs, but after Sunday's hard-fought win over Villa proved that Newcastle's battling instincts have not completely disappeared, Coloccini has challenged those who have been questioning his team-mates' application.
"People might say there is not a lot to play for in the rest of the season, but that is not correct," said the Magpies skipper. "It is never a problem to get motivated when you are playing for a club like this.
"All of us in the dressing room know about Newcastle's history, and we know we are playing for one of the biggest clubs in the country. That is what we are fighting for when we go on the pitch.
"The biggest motivation is knowing that you are representing Newcastle and the Newcastle fans. When you think about the 52,000 fans who come here to support us, you know you have to go out and give your all.
"We know we have been in some bad times. It has not been easy for the fans or the whole of the city. The mood has been a little bit sad because of some bad results, so we knew the game against Aston Villa was going to be a massive one, and the three points are very important for us.
"It will give us a lot more confidence and improve everyone's mood. It should also prove to the fans that we will always give our best.
"Whenever we are on the pitch, we fight as hard as we can to get the three points. Sometimes it is not always possible, but it is never for a lack of trying. We always try and that is one of the key messages that came out of this game."
Another conclusion that can be drawn from Sunday's success is that Newcastle are a much stronger force when Coloccini, Cheik Tiote and Loic Remy are playing.
All three returned from an absence of at least two matches at the weekend, with Tiote bolstering the heart of the Magpies midfield while Remy held his nerve to fire home the stoppage-time winner that broke a scoreless sequence that had extended beyond seven-and-a-half hours.
Coloccini's presence was equally influential, with the South American slotting back alongside Mike Williamson to ensure that neither Christian Benteke nor Gabriel Agbonlahor were able to enjoy any time or space in the final third.
With Coloccini in the side, Newcastle look a much securer proposition than when either Steven Taylor or Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa are starting, and after the 32-year-old travelled to his native Argentina for the second season in succession to aid his rehabilitation from injury, his return could hardly have been timelier in light of United's recent defensive disasters.
"It has been a tough few weeks," he said. "It is very hard to watch from outside the pitch and see that the team is not having the best of times, but then not be able to do anything about it yourself.
"That is the worst thing for a footballer – not being able to get out there and make a difference. Now, I am better and getting fit. I can help now, and that is what I am determined to do. I am happy now because I feel like I can make a difference.
"The injury is healed. I am not 100 per cent yet because after more than a month out, it is always going to take a little bit of time to get your sharpness back. The first game can be difficult, but game by game, I know I will get better."
Newcastle's next game takes them to Hull City on Saturday, and with three of their next four matches featuring teams in the bottom half of the table, the hope is that Sunday's victory will mark the start of a decent run.
"There had been a few games where we hadn't been able to get the three points, so it was important to stop that," said Coloccini. "Now, we have to start looking forward.
"There are still plenty of games to play, and as long as we show the same fighting spirit we did against Villa, we should do well in them."
* Newcastle will take on Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup at St James' Park on Tuesday, March 11 (7pm).

BMW has virtually introduced the new Vision Gran Turismo sports car exclusively for the Gran Turismo 6 video game, for the PlayStation 4.
If you enjoy your brand new PS4 and your Gran Turismo 6 than you will be glad to know that there is now more downlodable content as the German based automaker BMW has recently introduced the Vision Gran Turismo for the popular video game. The model in question has been developed by the BMW Group Design team who was inspired, obviously, by the M235i Racing track toy, coming with some major modifications.
The BMW Vision Gran Turismo has received new front and rear spoilers, carbon fiber air conduction elements which reduce drag and allow the model weigh 1,180 kg (2,601 lbs), and a 3.0 liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine, which is currently producing a total output of 549 HP (404 kW), between 6,200 and 7,300 rpm, with a peak torque of 680 HP (501 lb-ft), available at just 1,900 rpm. The unit is connected to a 6-speed sequential transmission which can send power, through the paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, to the rear-wheel drive.

I am new to this forum (in fact ... didn't even know we had a beekeeper forum on DG until today!). I noticed there is no sticky thread to address basic questions, so I hope some of you don't mind answering questions that I am sure have been asked and answered many times before in other threads ... I do appreciate it!
I live in a residental neighborhood, though I do have vacant and overgrown lots behind and to the west of me. I garden for Hummingbirds and Butterflies. And of course, I don't mind the bees at all either. But I have become concerned lately. I have several large porterweed and Golden Dewdrop bushes and I have a Coral Honeysuckle bush that has been trained as a standard. So it is in tree form now. It is currently blooming profusely. For months before the CH bloomed, I could hear buzzing near the back of my privacy fenced in yard. The fence is 6' vinyl white fencing. There is a vacant lot behind that area. And there is a rotted out old tree (not sure what kind). But I see no bees coming from that area. I just hear them.
Well the past couple of days, my CH tree has been putting on a beautiful show of colorful orange blooms. Today is Saturday and I am off from work, so had time to observe. I noticed that my resident hummer is avoiding the blooms. She was going for them when the tree was just starting to bloom. Now she is back at the Shrimp Plant blooms and the Firespike blooms next to the CH tree. I decided to investigate and went outside to see what was going on. Much to my shock, there are hundreds, maybe a thousand or more bees. They look just like honey bees buzzing around the blooms! So many that even the butterflies can hardly get a sip of nectar.
My questions:
1) Where do Honey Bees typically build their hives? I am trying to determine if there is indeed a nest behind my fence somewhere. There are large Brazilian Pepper trees in those vacant lots. (Which are everywhere unfortunately!)
2) I am also concerned about African Killer Bees (which I have seen a swarm here in the past). How can I tell the behavior of my bees to determine if they are actual non-aggressive bees or african bees? So far I have not been attacked by any of these bees, but they do act odd at times. They will fly/buzz right near me, but none have bumped me yet.
3) There used to be citrus groves about a 1/2 mile away, but most of those groves have been abandoned or removed. Could these bees be looking for another nectar source and have now come into the neighborhoods that host nectar flowers?
4) If there is a honeybee nest near my yard, how dangerous is this for me and other family members? Do honeybees normally mind their own business and ignore people or can they become protective and attack?
I am sure I will have more questions, but these were my main concerns at this time. Thanks for any answers folks here care to share to enlighten me.
Bee questions ...

The hive could be located any where in a 2 mile radius. If its a feral hive it would be any where that is dry dark and near a water source. I would contact a local beekeeper to help you locate the hive, and fine out what type they are . If it located you can have it removed or just leave it alone and make your friends and family aware of them. If you are unsure of who your local beekeeper is contact you state department of ag.
Thanks, JsHoney! I will look into that. I had no idea that they could have a hive so far away and all fly together to a nectar source. If that is the case, it could be anywhere in the wooded areas that take up a large percentage of that 2 mile radius. Maybe I have one of the few nectar sources currently for such a large colony.
I just read this post. I've followed the same bees for 47 years. They are gentle and the only time there have been stings are when someone walks through grass/clover and a bee might get in their shoe, or, one time, a kid was racing to dive in the cement pond & he ran into a bee, which stung him. The stings were not serious, and go away quickly. I have tall crepe myrtle, planted for the bees and they hoover in them all season, their buzzing is so loud - and an unusual sound. Once guests understand that they are 'sweet' bees, we sit on the deck under the crepes & enjoy their buzzing. They collect so much pollen that they appear drunk & their load is so heavy, they fly like they are drunk. And, it's a pretty long way home (as a heavy laden bee flies, ha!) to their hives that are in big, old trees on our property, approximately a couple of hundred yards from our deck.
The bees hate the blower, so we blow early in the am or late in the pm. And, they are most compatible with people, we respect them & their job, and they leave us alone. Some are nosey and buzz around me while I pot plants & tend to gardening chores.
A while ago there was a hostile bee takeover instigated by African Bees, who were aggressive pests but none of us were stung. Our bees were way more plentiful and they just continued their work and the mean bees moved on. Several in my community reported similar situations. We are all bee people & we don't use harmful sprays & we avoid pruning the trees, shrubs when the bees are into heavy pollen harvesting, we mow around the bees schedule.
We love our bees and we are delighted they return each year...
How did you recognize the fact that the invaders were Africanized?
How do the experts tell AHB from other bees?
At the local level, a Fast Africanized Bee Identification System (FABIS) test can be performed. Starting with a sample of 50 to 100 bees, 10 bees are randomly sorted. The right wing is removed from each and mounted on microscope slides, and the average wing length is calculated. If the average wing length is over 9mm, the bees are European Honey Bees. If the average wing length is under 9mm, the bees are suspect Africanized Honey Bees. They are only suspect AHB because there are some Egyptian Honey Bees in the county that are a domesticated bee but are slightly smaller that the EHB. Some EHB are also slightly smaller than usual. The FABIS test is like the TB skin test. If the test is negative, you do not have TB. If the test is positive, you might have TB but need a more sophisticated test to be sure.
If there is a need to know for certain that the sample is AHB or not, e.g., a multiple stinging incident or death, the sample is sent to the California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) for further testing. They can perform either a DNA, or complete morphometrics test. The DNA test compares the DNA from the sample to known DNA standards to determine whether the bees are AHB or not. This test can be done on a small sample size but not if the bees were killed with certain pesticides. The chemicals used to kill the bees interfere with the test. Complete morphometrics can be used when the sample is contaminated with pesticides. Complete morphometrics is a series of very precise measurements of various parts of the bees in the sample. Some involve lengths of specific body parts, some involve the angles of wing veins. These measurements are then averaged and compared to a standard. A complete morphometrics test requires a larger sample size than the DNA test. Both tests are quite accurate and are considered the final word in AHB determination.
Picture of a AHB
The media reported the African and, or killer bees in our area. The 'mean bees' were larger & not as cute/pretty as our 'honey bees'. Our bees have been tracked on this property since the first neighborhoods were established. The African bees were were larger, darker in color, their wings more flat, and, as I recall, and the segments in their bodies, were not as distinct as the honey bees, which are rather 'chubby' and, or curved. The honey bees have a more pleasant hum, the other bees buzz & dart when they fly toward you, in an aggressive fashion.
We absolutely love our bees & we are so glad the intruders did not succeed in their hostile takeover attempt...also, crepe myrtle honey is the very best ever!!!
I have been watching the bees here in SW Nevada now for about seven years, since I planted lots of fruit trees in the yard. A few years ago they became somewhat agressive and seemed to be "africanized." But, this summer they were back to their usual calm selves. The problem was that their numbers were down and I also had deeply pruned in the winter here. So, very little fruit and nuts produced.
Now, in the middle of our "winter," I have lots of honey bees visiting the 3 hummingbird feeders on the North side of the house. For some reason, not many are attracted to the one on the South side. Good for the "hummers" as they don't mix well with the bees.
This was the worst summer for Peach Tree Borers and I ended up painting all the trunks of all the fruit and nut trees....plus some amputations and one cherry tree had to be replaced.....by a Bartlett Pear.
We have fruit trees, plum, fig, blueberry, pear, mulberry; yet, our bees LOVE the crepe myrtle - Natchez White is their favorite. I'd think they'd like the red, pink, purple crepes best, but it's the Natchez White that attracts them - could be because they grow taller than the other fruit trees & the colored crepe.
I'm in an odd location that only attracts under a dozen hummers a season, but they do fine with the bees. Actually, nothing seems to bother the bees or hummers, both very determined & single minded re their 'work' and seem to ignore each other...good luck with your bees - we absolutely love ours...
Becky, if you have honeybees flocking around, you should feel nothing but lucky. Not only are they pollinizing everything within sight, it means that your general environment is on the healthy side.
i have a group of bees in my front yard in a circle on the grass
they just showed up yesterday. what should i do? will they attack people or pets ?
we have a lot of people that walk their pets in the evenings help
How many bees? Does it look like thousands? Are they in a clump? If so, they are a migrating hive looking for a new home -- get on the Internet & find the nearest beekeepers & they will come take care of them for you!
Beckygardiner - beautiful - hummingbird garden - i hope the hummers come back to your cape honeysuckle. In Oregon I can't grow that - love your morning glories also.

text: Hello to all RV'ers, we love this site and hope it gets better and better. We stayed at La Hacienda RV Park in Austin for the Christmas '06 holiday. I had a bad experience with the management of this park and wanted to share it with everyone right away. My beef: We called the morning we were travelling to Austin to see about staying there, they told us they were booked, but just had a cancellation so we should book the whole time we think we might stay. So we said we might stay a week or 8 days, not sure. We were expecting another couple to stay with us in thier RV so we asked to reserve another slot if it becomes available, which it mysteriously did. They charged our credit card for a week plus one day for two slots immediately. We arrived and after looking around decided we would look for another place the next day. When we asked the manager if we could cancel and get a refund they were very rude and addimant that there were no refunds after check-in. I suspect they double bill as many slots as they can. If we leave early, I bet they will rent our slot to some other unsuspecting victim. -Eric -editted: I stand corrected on our webmasters expediance in posting our reviews and I want to say "Thank You" and I appologise for jumping to conclusions about the new policy. My question is: Do most RV parks have a similar No Refund policy? Or am I alone in getting taken with this type of game?
