Windows 7 fresh install, incredibly slow and 100% CPU usage
I just installed a completely fresh windows 7. I wiped and formatted the hard drive prior to installation. For some reason the install took like 7 hours. And afterwards, it still runs horrifically slow. I checked task manager and it shows my CPU usage at 100%. I checked applications and processes, and there are very few there, and all are between 2-8% CPU usage. I'm not very tech savy so I'm just going by the number shown under the CPU column in the Processes tab. Also it says there are 33-35 processes running, even though it only lists about 8 in the task manager. I've only installed 2 things since I installed windows 7, and those are google chrome and microsoft security essentials. Before someone says that either of those 2 could be the problem, they were installed afterwards, and it was slow and laggy before then. Windows has supposedly updated all the stuff it needed to because it restarted and updated a number of times, and I'm no longer getting update messages.
I'm using an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz with 4 gigs of ram.

7 hours is a bad sign.
Go to the process tab of task manager and click at the top of the CPU column to rank the processes in order of CPU usage. Post a screen shot of what you see. Make sure you have checked "show processes from all users".
33-35 processes is pretty good.
I assume you have no anti-virus running currently?
Was the install from a known legitimate DVD onto hardware with no known problems?
Do you see any yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?
Any known temperature issues?

i cant post a screenshot, when I say its horrifically slow, I mean its unusable. I'm typing this and browsing other threads on a different computer. Here's what it looks like though:
Image Name CPU
taskmgr.exe 44-47
dwm.exe 0-2
csrss.exe 0-2
explorer.exe 0-2
msseces.exe 0-2
GoogleUpdate... 0-2
taskhost.exe 0-2
dllhost.exe 0-2
consent.exe 0-2
winlogon.exe 0-2
wermgr.exe 0-2
i clicked the "Show Processes from all users" but its so slow theres no telling if it actually registered me clicking it, if it did anything at all, or if it did do it and thats all there is.
MSE is installed atm, but this problem was present before I installed it.
I got the disc from a student / employee supply store that sells to schools and colleges. When I installed windows and put in the product key that came with the disc, it was invalid. I called microsoft and got a working key from them (it took 5 hours to verify the key)
I can't access the device manager at the moment because it would take about 30 minutes to open it.
I've never had any temperature issues before.

When you said you wiped and formatted the drive did you delete the original partition (s)?
If not, I'd be inclined to make a fresh start and re-install Windows.
Delete any existing partitions and create a new one. There's no need to format it again, Windows will offer to create a 100MB boot partition and will automatically format the partition it is installed on.
You may also have to face the fact that you may have been given a bad disc.
If that's the case you can download a Windows 7 ISO from Digital River and burn it to a DVD for installation then use the product key given to you by Microsoft to activate Windows.

The list of processes from All Users finally showed up and the top process was MsMpEng.exe which I know is an anti virus thing. I tried to end the process, but then my monitor went black.... I'm restarting the computer but it takes forever to start up with its lag.

These symptoms indeed could be the result of a bad hard drive or a bad sata cable. When windows has a hard time reading or writing to a drive it tries incessently until it succeeds (as it should). Running the CPU up to 100% and taking ghods forever to read or write.
Maybe use your Linux disk and repartition/format it and run a linux disk tool on the drive to test the read/write speeds?

I know windows 7 is a lot more than XP, but it was never even a bit slow with XP (and same hardware). So unless windows 7 is THAT much more demanding, I strongly doubt its a hardware problem.
|My System Specs
|07 Nov 2011
Not entirely related, but I discovered recently that hardware faults can have unexpected repercussions.
After battling for six months to try and find out why my computer was taking up to 15 minutes to boot up, it turned out to be a faulty optical drive. I only discovered it when I ran a full diagnostic test and the drive failed the read/write tests.
Changed the drive and now my computer boots in under 40 seconds. All I can suggest is look for the unexpected, it can have a positive effect.

At some point, a few years down the road, the NFL Draft will be an extension of Wrestlemania — with greased up collegiate athletes grabbing microphones and giving speeches, taunting, and gesticulating amidst a shower of sparks. Given that players now have the option to choose an "entrance song" to be played when their name gets called, the day when NFL turns into the WWE might not be that far away.
For the first time ever, draftees have chosen the music that plays over speakers as they walk to the stage in Radio City Music Hall.
— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) May 7, 2014
Of course, because the players drafted are generally under the age of 22, the songs they'll pick most likely will be poppy hip-hop tracks that come out next month so us old folks won't recognize them. Here are the songs that we've decided no one can pick:
•"Happy" by Pharrell Williams (If one person picks it, everyone will, and that'll be lame)
• Any Drake track (That's Manziel's thing now)
Otherwise, we expect to hear "Turn Down For What" by DJ Snake & Lil Jon, "Loyal" by Chris Brown, and that corny "Best Day Of My Life" bullshit by American Authors. The rest will be a mix of music you can hear on KISS FM and the occasional useless bubblegum country track.
Here are the entrance songs we'd select for the first 10 guys our in-house NFL expert Matt Rudnitsky expects to be selected in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Sermon: Sunday 1 May 2016
Sixth Sunday of Easter
The Revd Canon Dr Johannes Arens, Canon Precentor
There is something perplexing and difficult at the heart of the Christian faith. This perplexing something is the central value of the Kingdom of God; the primary, identifying characteristic of the Christian Church at its best and the clearest picture we have of our relationship with God in Jesus and his relationship with us. At the same time, this perplexing and difficult something at the heart of our faith is both the best description we have been given of who God is and the clearest command our Lord gives to us. It's a quality or a type of relationship, and it's proclaimed as the greatest, strongest, and most persistent gift we are given.
It's what the Gospel today talks about. The English word is "love" and that's really a shame. The early church was smarter than we are. The early church knew that this difficult and perplexing quality of relationship was a special thing, its own thing, revealed by Jesus and in Jesus, the essence of our relationship with God. So, when the early church talked about this new thing, it pretty much invented a new word. The church took a seldom used, vague and antiquated Greek term and used it to describe what it was talking about. The Greek word, we all know, is Agape. It is the worst possible sin for preachers to talk about meaning of words in classical languages as it is such a boring way to tell you how incredibly educated I am because I can read Wikipedia. But it is actually helpful to know that agape was a really weird and unusual word.
The advantage of choosing it was that every time the Church used this word, people would know exactly what was being talked about—they would know that what was meant was the command of Christ, the life of God, the goal of the Christian and the greatest power in creation. There was really no other meaning for Agape.
We call it "love", a word with a jillion meanings. After all, we love our new iPhones; and we love chocolate; and we love our spouses and our kids; Romeo loved Juliet; we love the Tigers and the Foxes, and – judging from hats – thousands of people love New York.
What does this agape mean, what does it look like? To discover this, we have to look to Jesus and those who were touched by him. We know that, in part, love looks like turning one cheek when the other has been hurt; it looks like going two miles when one mile is unfairly asked; it looks like offering prayers in response to insults.
We know that it looks like a father welcoming home a son who was lost; like paying a full day's wage to a worker who showed up an hour before quitting time—and it looks like rejoicing in each of these. It looks like losing your life in the hope of finding it. It looks like the previously shy, angry and slightly thick Peter to suddenly preach to crowds in such a way that everybody thinks he speaks their own language. It looks like the narrow-minded and anxious Paul singing hymns in prison. Agape is such an overpowering and healing love that anything else happening is powerless against it.
So, what is wrong in the first place? Traditional theology identify seven main areas by which you can tell that somebody is struggling, that somebody is wounded and somebody's life is not what it could be. You will all have heard of them: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth.
All of these are worth many sermons, so let's look at just one very briefly: gluttony. Like the other six, these are not little things you can do or not do, but really deep and involuntary weaknesses and scars – indicators of deeper wounds which make you use inappropriate means to feel less horrible. They are not moral terms in the way of dos and don'ts.
Gluttony is one many of us can relate to in terms of food, health regimes, diets, weight management. It's a familiar weak spot for many of us and consistently difficult for almost everybody to get right. Gluttony usually means excessive appetites of food or drink – having learned to use food or drink to feel better when I feel low. Thomas Aquinas, the most modern, awesome and radical theologian ever said many hundred years ago that every sin has a counter-sin which is distinct from a virtue. This means gluttony can mean its apparent opposite: obsessive dieting and its feeling of superiority, depriving oneself of food to numb unbearable inner pain. For almost everybody food and drink are difficult areas to get right and it has very little to do with willpower or 'being good'.
You will all have heard of Alcoholics Anonymous but let me tell you how it started. Rowland Hazard a wealthy man and an alcoholic. In 1931 he was the patient of the famous psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. After a year of treatment Rowland believed himself to be recovered, but he soon resumed drinking. He returned to Jung, and inquired as to whether there was anything else the psychiatrist could do to help him. Jung responded by saying that there was no more treatment available from a scientific or medical standpoint. Instead, Jung maintained that the only way for Rowland to recover was to find a religious or spiritual experience, even though he admitted that such events were rare and not to be found by just going to church or being religious.
The rest is history. Rowland was so shocked by being pronounced a hopeless drunk by the most famous psychologist around that he found his spiritual experience and in 1934 shared it with Ebby, Bill and Bob. AA was born. This didn't turn them into saints. Ebby started drinking again and died from it, Rowland, Bill and Bob stayed sober. Other weaknesses appeared in their biographies – they struggled with what lied below their gluttony all their lives. Life isn't that simple, and agape with God isn't an instant miraculous healing.
What lies below which is so painful that we need to eat when we feeling lonely is so painful, that we need to drink when we feel so low, that we need to starve ourselves when feeling emotional pain is unbearable? So what lies below pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth?
Let's go back to the beginning and listen to Genesis 3:
Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, 'Where are you?' He said, 'I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.' He said, 'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?' The man said, 'The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.' Then the Lord God said to the woman, 'What is this that you have done?' The woman said, 'The serpent tricked me, and I ate.'
There it is. Shame. They were naked and exposed, frightened and hid themselves and they both lied because they were afraid. Shame is so corrosive and painful that we can't even look at it and need fig leaves to cover it. It makes our thirst unbearable, turns hunger into torture or makes food so frightening that we starve ourselves. Human beings are wounded and vulnerable.
What is on offer is agape.
They say, "Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely." Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, says the Lord.

Panda - go back and check your site for any dupe, thin, redundant content. If you de-optimized your site recently and have gone through a significant site design, chances are you also had a full recrawl and made Google evaluate your site in a new light.

To be honest, at the start I didn't even feel comfortable expressing milk at home.
The first few clumsy times I felt more like an engorged dairy cow than a new mum. Don't think I've ever felt like a cow before. Don't have brown eyes. Never felt the urge to eat grass. But I digress…
If I'd have returned to the job I'd been working at while pregnant I'm not sure I would have felt particularly comfortable expressing there either.
I probably would have had to book the boardroom and hope that no one barged in for an impromptu meeting. The workforce was relatively young and mostly childless too – I really wouldn't have enjoyed having that conversation with my 27-year-old skateboarding male boss.
Thankfully when I did return to the workforce it was to work for a parenting website (this one, of course). I couldn't have asked for a more understanding company to work for when it came to all things baby-related. I had everything I needed to express for my then 8-month old baby boy … a comfortable and private room (a spare bedroom as the Bub Hub is run from the bosses' converted garage), a nearby refrigerator, a sink to wash and dry the breast pump, time to express during my lunch break and understanding colleagues.
Unfortunately not all women who want to continue breastfeeding once they return to work are as supported …
If you are hoping to continue breastfeeding when you return here are some tips –
– chat to your employer about the issue before you go on maternity leave, just to start the conversation and gauge their expectations. You're probably not the first person to express at that workplace and they may already have policies in place.
– remember that you are protected by anti-discrimination legislation and your employer has a legal obligation to 'reasonably accommodate' breastfeeding mothers.
– you'll need a comfortable chair in a private room (NOT a bathroom/toilet!) and a refrigerator to store expressed milk.
– just before you return to work think about how many feeds you're likely to miss and how often you'll have to express. Make sure you are clear on what your needs are before you attempt to convey them to your employer.
– you may also consider having your baby brought to you at work so you can breastfeed rather than express. Or if your carer is nearby you may just prefer to go to them during your break.
– make sure you're familiar with your breast pump and expressing before you return to work. If you're stressing about how to use the pump, or worrying about running out of time it will make it harder to pump. It is must easier to express if you're relaxed and thinking about your baby.
– consider an electric breast pump, which may work faster and better for you, especially if you need to express more often. (I only had a manual but I found it fine for my purposes).
We think it is important to encourage workplaces to support breastfeeding mums and to promote the good work that many already do to ensure their breastfeeding employees are made to feel comfortable expressing at work.

Seventeen-year old Sarah's life is turned upside down when her single mom is sent to jail. She's forced to move, leaving behind everything she's ever known, including her best friend Sydney. Lost and bitter in a new school, her one goal is to save money and move back home. Then she meets Angel Moreno.
Enigmatic but gorgeous, Angel is almost too good to be true. Except for one thing, his archaic belief that guys and girls can never be "just friends". The problem? Sarah's best friend Sydney is not a girl.
With their unexpected romance intensifying to places neither ever experienced, how long can Sarah keep Angel in the dark? And how will he react when the truth finally comes out?
I have been looking forward to reading this book for weeks (as you can probably see from my IMM post) but sadly it was a let-down of epic standards…for me anyway. But then again I have been pretty tough on the YA books lately haven't I.
The sex in this book was heavier than what you would find in your average YA novel and frequent – not necessarily actual sex but conversation and stuff like that.
The first time that they are really alone (which is only their second or third meeting) they are kissing, and then the first date (that is the next day) he is ALL over her…Talk about jumping the gun a bit. And all the way through the book he is always touching her. Which, I suppose on some levels is cute but it just yelled SMOTHERING at me. Give the girl some breathing space will you.
And then there is Angel's controlling attitude towards Sarah. Now, in my eyes anyway, there is a fine line between being protective and being down right controlling and I think that Angel crossed that line and it did not make me comfortable one little bit – especially when I started to think how the relationship would develop in the future if this attitude continued.
His reaction to finding out that Sarah's best friend was a guy was completely OTT and his continuing stance that boys and girls can't 'just' be friends made me want to hit him. Just because the only relationship he has ever had with girls has been when they are throwing themselves at him it doesn't mean that all boy/girl relationships are like that. And then (yip, ain't finished yet) when he does semi get used to idea he demands to know whenever she and Sydney (her best-friend) talk on the phone. Now I'm sorry but at that point I would have been telling him where to go and not to slam the door as he left! How dare he! And the attitude of his brothers (and the other boys) towards women aren't that much better and I would have loved to bang all their heads together and tell them to start respecting girls!
I just couldn't gel with any of the characters at all.
So, all in all not my kind of book.
1 star...maybe 2 at a push.

Early this morning, the world awoke to a rumor that Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher had split. Without substantial proof, most outlets beat around the bush, quoting each other endlessly without fully committing one way or another. In the past few hours though, more and more details have started to emerge, and they seem to paint a wild and reckless picture. Not every rumor you read on the internet is based in fact, but the more smoke that billows out from a story, the better chance there's at least some fire. Just ask Tiger Woods. He went from a car accident to a dozen or so mistresses in the blink of an eye.
In case you missed it, here's what's happened thus far. Late last year, a woman named Brittney Jones popped onto the world's radar. She claimed to have bedded Ashton and released a sex tape with some other dude. The world quickly forgot, but then earlier today, reports circulated that Ashton had been kicked out of the house for being unfaithful on, of all dates, the couple's anniversary. Pretty awful, right? Well, that might just be the tip of the iceberg.
The Dirty is now claiming the woman at the heart of this extramarital affair was Sara Leal, and she, along with another woman, slept with Kutcher after he told them he and Demi were separated. She now apparently wants two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to tell her story, a ludicrous amount of money no one will ever give her.
According to Radar Online, Leal has reportedly hired an attorney and is now in hiding. Whether she'll emerge to give interviews or sue Ashton for God-knows-what are questions we'll likely get answers to soon enough.

Alys specialises in twentieth and twenty-first century literature, with an emphasis on modernism and its contemporary heirs. Her research investigates how modernism has spread beyond its conventional resting place of early twentieth-century Europe and the US, and how the persistence and proliferation of its aesthetic ideas have shaped how we in the twenty-first century think about literature and its role in society.
She has two major projects in process, exploring different aspects of this central interest. Her monograph, The Modernist Art of Hunger: Aesthetic Autonomy in Crisis, looks at the chequered fate of aesthetic autonomy-the idea that literature should remain separate from, and untainted by, the financial, political or social demands of the world at large-for modernism's heirs. It argues that as this idea repeatedly came under attack throughout the twentieth century, writers turned to hunger as a way of describing aesthetic autonomy's perilous position.
With Stephen J. Ross, she is also the editor of an anthology of source texts for global modernism, currently under contract to Bloomsbury. In collaboration with scholars and translators from the US, the UK and elsewhere, this volume assembles original essays and manifestoes by writers, artists and other practitioners who have practiced modernism in locations-from China and Japan to Turkey and the Middle East to Africa to Latin American to Oceania-not usually associated with the term. Together, these texts help us to reflect on what modernism has meant for writers around the world, and how modernism changes when it becomes global modernism. Before coming to Macquarie in 2016, she taught at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, and the University of Oxford, where she received her doctorate.

What does a teenage half-warlock, half-vampire do to have fun? Why, build an old west town on a glacier in the Arctic! There, he can play at being the good-guy sheriff up against mean old Black Bart.
That things will go horribly wrong is a given. But how does Rune get into and out of the predicament?
This prequel story to the Witches of Galdorheim series gives the listener a chance to get to know the smart-aleck kid, Rune, before he got his magic down pat.

"Commendations to the Narrator"
Let's see. I have four books published in audio, so I can safely say this is among the top four audio books I've listened to so far.
The way the main character, Rune, manages to save himself using ingenuity and his his not-so-great magical abilities. To say more would be a spoiler.
I've listened to all the books Lisa Baarns's has narrated for my books. I think she's getting better the more she does. She's becoming comfortable with the magic world of Galdorheim, and that familiarity makes each book better than the last.
This is a short story, so not quite enough for a film. However, the entire Witches of Galdorheim series would make an entertaining animated movie.

I hope you allow this review since my main purpose here is to give kudos to the narrator and producer for doing a wonderful job.

Today we stained our deck out back. It was a miserable experience, to put it kindly. It was 90 degrees in Iowa today with 75% humidity. We worked from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m straight through and sweat a few gallons between us. The clouds mercifully came out once in a while to shield us from the sun. Also, the deck stain ran out when there was only about half of the floor part left to do. The paint stores sell only in gallons, so that was another $40 for $2 worth of stain that we needed... The plus side is that it will last at least two more years at which point we'll be selling the place and moving to a new house that doesn't have a deck.
Also, our air conditioning picked the most humid week of the summer to break down. This is our thermostat today:
Yep, that's 92 degrees inside the house. The joys of home ownership... ;-)
UPDATE 08/02/08: We got the AC fixed yesterday. The furnace needed a new blower moter. The parts and labor cost only $350. Not bad!

When Ponti opened in 1991, there was much to love: the comfortably intimate bar; the Ship Canal iew; a lengthy world-roaming wine list; private dining rooms for special events and a beautifully landscaped waterfront terrace whose Mediterranean ambiance was everything it was intended to be. Those qualities remain a draw, as does the handsome dining room and an eclectic menu highlighting seafood.

We stopped here for a night on our way to Seattle for a cruise and enjoyed our stay.Nice room,nice outdoor terrace and the food in the restaurant was good.They have RV Parking on the riverside of the hotel and offcause the Casino.Hubby won a small jackpot in the casino and they insisted on deducting tax even though we as South Africans and not liable for tax.This led to some argument as they did not seem to understand their own forms, which they made my husband fill in, where it clearly states that foreigners are exempt from paying this tax! There is nothing near the hotel,so one requires a car to drive around the small towns and communities that surround the Puget Sound.Overall a nice stopover.

Chea Sim, a key Cambodian political figure after the fall of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime and an ally of Prime Minister Hun Sen, has died at age 82.
He had been in ill health for many years and in hospital in recent months, the head of his bodyguard said.
Chea Sim was president of the ruling Cambodian People's Party since it was formed in 1991, and president of the Senate since 1999.
He became a revolutionary in the 1950s and, like Hun Sen, was a member of the communist Khmer Rouge when they seized power in 1975 after a civil war.
Both men fled the group to join a resistance faction groomed by neighbouring Vietnam, which installed them as Cambodia's new leaders after ousting the Khmer Rouge in 1979.

"What gets measured gets managed" is a quote often attributed to the venerable management expert Peter Drucker. The simple but powerful idea behind the statement is that without quantitative measurement, it is impossible to benchmark the current state and manage progress toward a desired state. Variations of the quote abound but it is difficult to trace the quote to a specific book, paper, or speech. As it turns out, an earlier incarnation of this idea predates Drucker.

Does a programmable thermostat for an in-floor electric radiant heat system add efficiency, or is it faux efficiency?
My electrician installed in-floor electric heat in a second floor bathroom remodel I recently completed, and he used a non-programmable therm.

Weekly Updates
Staying focused on national security
Friends -
Knowing of our shared interest in defense and maintaining national security, I wanted to share an article with you that highlights my efforts to grow the size of our Navy as chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
My goals for the subcommittee are to lay out a reasonable path to a 355 ship Navy, boost the base defense budget, and ensure our ship and submarine building industrial base can handle that increased capacity. A larger Navy will better allow our military to deter our adversaries, support our allies, and respond to threats around the globe.
I will keep you informed of the subcommittee's progress in these areas as we move into debate on the annual National Defense Authroization Act (NDAA).
It's an honor to serve you and Virginia's First District in the People's House.
March 27, 2017
House Seapower Chair Wittman Outlines Committee Agenda
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The new head of the House Armed Services seapower and projection forces committee presented an outline of his priorities including moving aircraft carriers to four-year build cycles, funding ships incrementally and learning how fast the shipbuilding industry can ramp up to meet the Navy's 355 ship goal.
Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.), formerly the chair of the HASC readiness subcommittee, set out the focus of his agenda leading up to crafting the Fiscal Year 2018 authorization bill to start a plus up from the current fleet of 275 ships.
"The debate in our subcommittee will revolve around two things," Wittman said on Wednesday at the annual McAleese/Credit Suisse "Defense Programs" event.
"What are we doing to rebuild our Navy? What are we doing to get to the 355 ships that are both reflected in the force structure assessment they just did and are also reflected in the president's proposal? Where are we with shipbuilding capacity? What can our shipyards do?"
Answering the shipyard question is one that will start with a report from the Congressional Budget Office that will assess how able the U.S. industrial base can accommodate the demand for a 355-ship fleet.

Maher: Now people talk a lot about a third political party in America. We don't need a third party. We need a first party. You go to the polls and your choices are the guy who voted for the first Wall Street bailout, or the guy who voted for the next ten. This week we're hearing that a public option for health care is unlikely because it doesn't have the support of enough Democrats. Even Ted Kennedy's plan, Ted Kennedy, yeah, leaves thirty seven million uninsured.I've been jaded about American politics precisely because there really isn't any political leadership that represents a vast swath of the American populace. Instead, we get a party that uses "progressive" buzzwords but is otherwise essentially a corporatist party and another that at times competes with the British National Party in terms of its overt racism, xenophobia, and religious fundamentalism while attempting to maintain its favor with corporate oligarchs. Aside from that, there's simply this large void. In a sense I find that I empathize with Iranian voters, many of whom are taking it to the streets in recent days, because of a shared sense that our respective systems are dysfunctional at best.
This is because we don't have a left and a right party in this country any more. We have a center right party, and a crazy party. And over the last thirty odd years, Democrats have moved to the right, and the right has moved into a mental hospital.

By Martin Luther's day, the Catholic Church was ruling the known world of Europe. It was dictating policy to kings and queens. Luther opposed the Church's blatant misrepresentation of Christ and the Scriptures. The history of the Church was one of persecution of Christians who believed that God's Word was infallible, not the dictates of the Papacy. In this DVD, you will trace the life of Luther and see what the Church today has done to reunite the world under its authority. Ecumenism has achieved its desired result and this presentation reveals startling new developments in current religio-political thought.

Great, Thus Far (I'll keep you updated)
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've used this tent for two fall camping trips thus far. On one, it rained briefly overnight, no leaks.
Pros: Easy, color coded setup; awesomely spacious, being able to sit up in a 1p is my fave and an antidote to my claustrophobia; water resistant, thus far and I will keep y'all updated once I have a chance to test it in a big storm; light; durable, I had a previous North Face tent and I hiked the AT with it and guided with it for over 2 years, the zippers were gnarly and I'd burned the inside in a couple of places so I got this one.
Cons: There's this tiny window for ventilation and I'm almost certain I will break its supports as I pack up this tent one-day. It's unnecessary and the primary con of this tent.
Tetons - Death Canyon Shelf 2015
I love this tent!!! Light durable and less expensive that tents that are inferior in my opinion. love, love, love it!
The North Face Triarch 1 Tent: 1-Person
Have you used this tent at all or know anyone that has? I purchased this tent in May and used it once. The tent was easy to set up, but the fly was very confusing and frustrating to put on. There also wasn't much ventilation in the tent. Do you have any advice on how to put the fly on?
There is one red tab on one corner of the fly and the tent. line up the red tabs, Velcro to main pole and clip at top. If not enough ventilation, you can unhook half the rainfly for open air and star gazing
Does this tent come with a footprint? Thanks.
whats the packed size?

Will Burns, a tall skinny white boy who dipped in, and dipped out of our MFA program between our year one and year two. Will Burns of the perfect bedhead, Will Burns of the grey smoke, Will Burns of the vacant stare, the smirk. I haven't told anyone, but after he left one summer night between first and second year of grad school, I kept seeing Will around town. And even after I left Spokane, moved to Arizona, and eventually to North Carolina, I kept seeing Will.
- In Roseaurs, the Spokane grocery store, from behind, heading down the cold pop/warm pop/chip aisle. I called his name, and the man who turned around happened to be a Will, too, but he was not Will Burns.
- Riding a bike down Spokane Falls Blvd in the middle-to-left lane with no regard for drivers in cars behind him losing their shit, flipping him the bird, and riding his bumper. As I drove by I saw it was not Will Burns, but instead a woman, and she was smiling.
- In the reflection of glass in the lobby of our Riverpoint campus building. I kept looking, and looking. He had on a sweater, he was there, but I knew when I turned around he would be gone.
- Standing at the top of the Big Red Wagon in the middle of Riverside Park surrounded by children.
- As I was leaving the Phoenix municipal courthouse, he was across the road looking west up Washington street. How did he find me? Did he know what I'd done?
- Coming down the trail in running shorts, scrawny legs eating up the distance between us. The sun was at his back, and I turned to TJ to say, "Look, it's Will."
- Sitting at a table in the Wendy's in a small town outside Oklahoma City. I was driving round the side to the drive through, the first meal I'd be eating all day, but I kept going round and then out. I could not eat there.
- Gazing into the driver's side of my car where it was parked in my mother's driveway. He must have felt my stare, because he turned to look up at me. I moved away from the window.

Orienteering is an activity in which participants move through forested or urban areas using a detailed map to navigate between checkpoints.
Not registered yet? Sign up here
The history of orienteering can be traced back to the late 19th century in Sweden, where it originated as military training. The actual term "orienteering" was first used in 1886 at the Swedish Military Academy Karlberg and meant the crossing of unknown land with the aid of a map and a compass. Given Canada's diverse terrain, it has become a favourite place for international orienteering events.Where
Orienteering events take place in forested areas, city parks or urban neighbourhoods, preferably with interesting topographical detail.How to play
A standard orienteering course consists of a start, a series of control sites (checkpoints), and a finish. At the start, participants are given a detailed map with checkpoints marked on it. By reading the map while on the move, participants choose their own route to find the checkpoints. There is a flag at each checkpoint. Most orienteering events use staggered starts to ensure that each orienteer has a chance to do their own navigating, and will not be followed. However, there are several other popular race formats including relays, mass-start endurance events, and "Score-O" events in which the orienteer must find as many controls as possible within a specified time. Orienteering is mostly done on foot, but can also be done on mountain bike or cross-country skis. For more information visit Orienteering Canada.Suggested equipment
- Map
- Compass
- Sneakers or running shoes
- WaterAdaptations
Physical activity in Canada includes everyone, regardless of any ability or circumstance. Some sports and activities may, however, require a few adaptations to make them as accessible as possible. Below you'll find recommendations and suggestions on how to accommodate individuals that may have limitations or different needs. With a positive attitude and a little ingenuity, any activity can be made enjoyable for all.
To adapt orienteering for an individual who has a visual impairment consider participating in teams or in pairs. Choose a course that is relatively flat and free from obstacles. Checkpoints should be marked clearly, with tactile or auditory cues.
Some alternatives to orienteering to consider are to present the instructions in pictures and writing. Make navigation straight forward and participate in teams. Reward participants at each station and eliminate the race scenario and focus on fun.
To adapt orienteering for an individual who has a mobility limitation consider moving the activity to an area that has a flat surface or indoors. Shorten the length of the course and provide seating areas. Clues should be easy to reach and the course should be free from obstacles.
The Canadian Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines outline the amount and type of physical activity you need at every age and stage of life. And, for the first time, the new 24-hour Movement Guidelines for Children & Youth also include sleep. Following the guidelines will help reduce the risk of chronic disease, lead to a more focused mind, a stronger, fitter body, and all in all, a more enjoyable life.

RED LAWN, TEXAS. Red Lawn is on U.S. Highway 69 eight miles south of Rusk in south central Cherokee County. The area was first settled before the Civil War, but a community did not begin to grow up until 1891, when the St. Louis and Southwestern Railway was built and Red Lawn became a station on the line. Around 1900 L. L. Cole operated a general store there, and J. A. Willis had a cotton gin. In 1940 Red Lawn had a school, a church, three businesses, and a population of seventy. The school and the businesses closed after World War II, and in the early 1990s only a few scattered houses remained in the area.

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to share a quick review of a some cool T-Shirts I recently ordered from HistoricAviation.com. I also wanted to inform you all of the HistoricAviation website in general.
Well I'm not sure how many of you are into aviation as much as I am, I really like to learn all I can and like to collect memorabilia. Not just about RC Planes but real planes and Jet Fighters too. Well a little while back my Dad gave me a catalog to a cool site called HistoricAviation.com. They had some really cool and unique stuff in the catalog. From cool T-shirts, to vintage nose art, to ceiling fans that look like the front end of an aircraft!
(Here's a link to the website, just click on the picture)
Seeing all these cool things in the catalog promted me to see what they had online. Well I found the website and did some searching around. The website is a bit cumbersome and not very easy to find things. But after I spent a little time searching around I found some pretty cool stuff. I found it best to download the PDF catalog to view items, then once you find something cool, just search the website by the item number.
I did order a couple cool T-shirts, one of an F-22 and one of an F-35. I was a little disappointed when I ordered them because they were on back order due to popular demand. So it took about a month for me to get them. I did finally receive the shirts and found that they were pretty good quality and worth their value. The images on the back of each shirt is pretty detailed and of good quaility too. So if anyone else would like to get some cool shirts but not in a total hurry to get them (possible slow shipping), I put some links below for you.
(You can click on each of the pictures by size to follow a link to the website)
|F-22 T-Shirt Links
|F-35 T-Shirt Links
Here are those cool ceiling fans I mentioned. I think I may have to get one those some day for the hobby room downstairs!
|Cool Ceiling Fan Links
Anyway, long story short, I found that they had some really cool products if you are a big Aviation fan like I am. It is a little hard to browes the site at first, but if you download the PDF catalog it helps a ton. rcFoamFighters also now is an affiliate to HistoricAviation.com. We plan on adding more product reviews for this site in the future.
My name is Jon McCarty, some of you have seen me flying with Paul and Frank out at the Hermann Airport. Paul and Frank asked me to share a product I recently started using as an EPP plane covering. Its called Doculam (Well it used to be, I think it changed names). Its a laminating film, meant to run through a large laminating machine. The film i am using is 1.7 mil CP, Its a low temp film perfect for foam use. The adhesive is heat activated so it only sticks where you want. The 25″ width on the rolls means you can use one piece and cover most park fliers. The company I ordered from sells this in 2 roll minimum's but for a small surcharge they will sell one 500′ roll. which if your like me is more than you will probably ever use.
The film starts out a milky white color with a dull side and a shiny side, the dull side is the glue. I found a small craft iron at the local Wally world called the Tulip (Its pink, but it works and is $10) which after a few min. gets up to an almost perfect temp to apply the Doculam. I have also used the wife's clothes iron, which heats up faster and is a bit hotter, caution the the low temp doesn't need high heat, I use the big iron at about half temp.
One of the reasons I wanted to try this film is the fact that it can be painted. I have tried several types of spray cans, from Wally world cheap stuff to Krylon Fusion, which I hadn't found a way to use that on or even near foam. The Krylon Fusion works very well as a base coat with no chipping or peeling even when I folded a test piece 180 deg back on itself.
As far as strength goes, I recently had an opportunity to test the strength of the Doculam on my version of Franks Sky Fighter. at this time I believe I had the ESC fail which caused total control loss while I was traveling nose down at around 100mph!! there were a lot of firsts in this crash:
First time I stripped servos in a crash, I got both of them.
First time I did that much damage to a battery and had it stay in the plane.
First time I had an ESC look like that after a flight.
First time I lost total control of a plane let alone one moving that fast.
First time I have had a plane hit the ground that hard and be mostly flyable, the major airframe was fine except for 2 small cracks in the lower fuse. there was some damage to the non EPP parts but the EPP survived and will fly again, the Doculam held up great.
If you would like to get some more info on Doculam here is a link to RCGroups thread:
I did some testing on the Doculam, I took 3 – 10″x5″ pieces of EPP. One I left bare of any covering as a control, one I covered in Doculam, and the 3rd I covered in fiberglass weave and Doculam.
I then set my hanging scale so that the part would be suspended 3″ from my table top from its center. I measured how much force it took to flex the part so that both edges touched my table. I also weighed each part to get an idea of how much weight was added. here are my results:
Bare EPP: weight- .5 oz force- 3.64 lbs
Doculam covered: weight- .6 oz force- 5.22 lbs
Doculam/Fiberglass covered: weight- .7 oz force 7.08 lbs
Now the bare EPP and Doculam covered both took as much force to flex it as it took to maintain it, but the Doculam/fiberglass covered took more force to flex it but didn't require as much to maintain it, it was 7.84 lbs to flex it but only 7.08 lbs to maintain it. Also something else I noticed that was surprising was that the Doculam/fiberglass covered piece bounce back closer to flat than the other two pieces did.
So my findings were as I suspected, that covering your EPP in the Doculam added strength but the addition of fiberglass as Paul and Frank recommend added much more rigidity.
I hope you find this information helpful in your future builds.
If you would like to try a small amount I have 500′ and will sell some at $.50 a ft plus shipping. email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can work out the details. This is for US, lower 48 states only no over seas shipping at this time please.
Hey Just want to let everyone know that we will be doing occasional reviews of Kit planes that We feel fit in with our style and that we think would be fun to build and fly. Don't worry our main focus is still going to be on scratch building. We just thought it might be a nice change to do every once in a while. Especially for those who may not be ready to scratch build. The MultiPlex FunJet definitely fits our style. I have been wanting to build one of these ever since I started seeing videos on YouTube of these planes flying 140 – 150 mph. Here are some quick points on this kit.
- Easy to follow detailed instruction manual
- High quality parts fit, finish and materials
- Assembles with CA glue and a few tools
- Quick assembly (one night with everything needed)
- Will accept a large variety of batteries and power systems
- Motor mount adjusts with screw from + 5 degrees to – 5 degrees
- Ram air ventilated fuselage to keep electronics cool
- Servo covers provide protection and cleaner looks
- Broad flight envelope from very slow to extremely fast
- Very predictable and stable flight characteristics
- Docile enough for beginners extreme enough for experts
After only flying this plane for one weekend I am very impressed with the performance and how easy it flies. I'm sure I will be flying it a lot in the future and pushing the speed envelope more and more as I get more familiar with the plane. I would recommend the MultiPlex FunJet too any adrenaline high speed junkies out there!!! This Plane really lives up to Its name "FunJet"!!!
Here is a the YouTube Video Review:
Last if anyone would like to purchase a Funjet for them selves they can find them here at Hobby People.
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to add a quick product review write up for the Proxxon Hot-Wire Foam Cutter. For everyone who may be into scratch building foam RC planes, there is a cool tool for cutting all types of Foam, easily, fast and efficently. Frank and I are always searching for affordable, but good tools to help aid us in the production of all the scratch build RC airplanes we make. So far one of the best tools to date that we have found is the Proxxon 37080 Hot Wire Cutter (THERMOCUT).
Please see Frank's Video Review here:
Here are a few quick bullet points about the Foam Cutter:
- Adjustable Temp Setting via a Dial.
- 98 Feet spool of replacement wire (Should last quite a long time).
- Aluminum Table top finish with measured straight and angular guidlines.
- Adjustable Hot-wire. You can angle the hotwire, good for making Beveled cuts.
- Sturdy, Quality Construction
- Fully adjustable guide fence. Can be set at various angles or straight. Can also be used on front or side of cutting table. (one of the most awesome features)
- 13-25/32″ Throat with a 5-33/64″ height.
- Seen as low as $104.
Bottom line is both Frank and I give it a 5-star rating. I think its definately one of the best tool purchases we have made. Our build times are quicker and easier with this tool. I think its a great value for just over $100. It has great quality, it's, versatile and easy to use with great results. If you are only building a plane once in a long while then it may not be the best for you, but if you build many planes often as we do, then I think you'll find it well worth the price.
Last if anyone is looking to purchase one, you may look at your local craft or hobby stores to find one. Frank and I purchased ours through Amazon.com. I've included a link below for anyone who may be interested in getting one from Amazon too.
Great place to get Henry's Style Fiberglass Weave.
Hey Everyone,
As you probably already know from watching our YouTube Videos, both Frank and I have been building EPP Planes covered with the Henry's Fiberglass Weave. A lot of you have been emailing or leaving comments about where this stuff can be purchased. We have been purchasing it through Home Depot, where it is typically about $9.00 for a 6-inch wide by 25-Foot roll. Not too bad, but can get kind of pricey if you use it a lot. So I went off searching on the internet to try and find a good source to buy this stuff for cheaper. Whenever we can, both Frank and I like to pass on the information to all of you when we find a way to save money.
Well my searches were far and wide, but I did finally find a place out of Arizona that sells roofing supplies. They have a material pretty much identical to the Henry's Weave, Only they have it in 150 foot rolls and in different widths! They have it in 4-inch, 6-inch and 36-inch widths! Awesome, this is great for building RC Planes. both Frank and I have ordered some of the weave from this site and are very happy and pleased with their quick shipping and the quality of the fiberglass weave. It is pretty much dead on the same as Henry's. I would not be surprised if it was made by Henrys. Oh, and the best part is its cheaper for a 6 inch 150 foot roll from BestMaterials.com, then it was for a 6 inch 25 foot roll from Home Depot! It's only $6.75 for the 150 foot roll! That's Five times as much weave for a cheaper price, what a great savings! I believe they do international shipping too.
Well here is the site link to Best Materials.com where the weave can be found (Just Click on the Picture):
We have been getting a lot of questions in regards to what we have been using to cover our RC Planes.
"How do get your rc planes so smooth?" "What do you use to cover your RC Planes?" "Where can I get Colored Sealing Tape??
So We wanted to just do a little write up to answer these basic questions. Typically we have been using simple, low cost, colored carton sealing tape or packing tape. This low cost covering adds a nice shinny finish to your scratch built remote control foam plane. Below are a few examples.
The sealing tape works best with Foamboard RC plane designs since the surface of Foamboard is more easily gripped by the tape's adhesive. The sealing tape will work good with EPP, Depron or other foams too, but may be a little trickier to get it to attach to the surface well. Usually when we use the sealing tape with EPP or other Foam materials, we first put strapping tape around the edges of the wing and parts of the fuselage since it is more tacky and better at attaching to the foam. Then we run the layer of sealing tape from edge to edge, attaching to the strapping tape at the edges and uncovered foam in the middle. Also we have noticed the sealing tape bonds much better when it is an EPP RC plane covered first with the Henry Brand Fiberglass Weave and adhesive, like on the EPP Park Jet and Bulletproof RC Plane.
One tip about using sealing tape that may help you in making your remote control plane look better, is to use a heat gun to shrink the tape. Typically Frank and I use a heat gun after the RC plane is fully taped up. You can use the Heat Gun to slowly heat up the tape till it starts to shrink just a little. This will get rid of the wrinkles and make for a nice tight covering. Usually the sealing tape will first suck up close to the foam as its heated and actually reveal more wrinkles. But then as it slowly shrinks more, all the wrinkles tighten up and go away. Just be very careful not to hold the heat gun too close and over heat the tape. This will cause too much shrinkage and can even burn right through the tape. Its best to keep the heat gun moving back and forth and slowly heat the tape up. Hopefully soon we can do a video demo of taping a plane with this method.
Just remember sealing tape is just one option you can use to cover your RC plane and make it look nice. It will also make your RC Plane stronger. You can always use stuff like Monokote or Trimkote or similar materials. These just tend to be a little more costly. Anyway hope this helps. Just know we are constantly looking for new ideas and ways to make the hobby more affordable. We will try and pass along any tips we learn about to you our fellow RC Pilots/Builders. Please feel free to let us know of any tips you may have too make RC planes better and/or more affordable. The more we all learn together, the more fun we will have at this hobby of scratch building cool remote control planes.
So far we've had a hard time in finding any stores locally that sell colored sealing tape. We usually just buy our tape supplies from the internet. So last I just wanted to provide you all with a link to TapeBrothers.com, the place we get our tape from and seem to be the best priced. rcFoamFighters is not an Affiliate of Tape Brothers, but we do recommend them based on our past purchases. They are fairly quick to ship and have good prices.
(click on picture to go to Tape Brothers Site)

Can topicort cure scabies?

Responses (1)
I researched your question and I found this:
"The potency of the medication is determined by several factors including:
•The active ingredient used
•The concentration
•The formulation (cream, ointment or gel)
For instance, a medication with 2% concentration of hydrocortisone is more potent than a medication with 1% hydrocortisone. Similarly, 2% hydrocortisone ointment may be more potent than 2% hydrocortisone cream.
The potency of an ointment is often greater than other formulations because the ointment keeps the skin hydrated, helping the medication to penetrate to deeper layers. Creams, because they absorb more quickly, have greater cosmetic appeal for most people so are often used on the face. Foams and solutions are useful for penetrating hair-bearing areas, such as the scalp.
Examples of different corticosteroid strengths:
Group 1 (I) Superpotent
