You may have heard about our upcoming frequency change on our station, other stations, in print, on the news, or through word of mouth. it's the end of an era as we shift from 90.3 FM to 90.1 FM, but the new move comes with a massive jump from 3000 to 7000 watts of power and signal strength!
James Charisma (on the air Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 6pm) recently put together an article explaining the change and giving a little bit of background, history, and context to what we're up to and why this new move is our biggest news yet. Read on for more! And we'll see you in January at 90.1 FM ISLAND-WIDE. From 1969 to now, thank you for keeping tuned to Hawaiʻi's original, KTUH.
Change Is Gonna Come
Hawaiʻi's Favorite Radio Station Doubles In Strength and Finds A New Frequency
By James Charisma
Bookended by two heavy metal doors on the second floor of Hemenway Hall at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa campus, the noncommercial college radio station KTUH is jamming.
Inside, volunteer student and community DJs play everything from Fifties torch songs to Italian pop, modern minimalist to Motown, delta blues and drum & bass, in three-hour segments 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Rolling CD racks carrying thousands of discs arranged alphabetically run the length of the long hallway that span the KTUH studios, which include production rooms, performance space for live bands, and closets filled with broadcast equipment. In the vinyl vault, floor-to-ceiling shelves line the walls, housing an assortment of vintage and rare records; the largest such collection in the Pacific.
"The station is an oasis of individualism in a desert of homogenization," Former Governor Neil Abercrombie said in a 2006 interview with Jeela Ongley for Mālamalama, the magazine for the University of Hawai'i. "I enjoy it every time I listen, and it's heartening just to know it exists."
For more than 45 years, KTUH has flourished, both at the University and throughout Hawai'i. Here, the DJ is king; music gets airtime based on the merit of its sound and not the merit of its sales figures. Previously undiscovered and independent artists are celebrated–such as Jack Johnson, whose music made its radio debut at KTUH after the then-unknown artist himself called in to DJ Kevan Scott and asked to be played on-air. Scott can still be heard on the radio at KTUH today. Jack Johnson too.
"It's a totally open format where the announcers are allowed the creativity to present what they want," says Scott, a KTUH DJ since 1973, in an interview with Honolulu Magazine. "There aren't very many radio stations in this nation that have allowed the freedom that KTUH has in the last 40 years."
This coming January, "the only station that loves you" will make history again–this time with a boost in signal strength, from the current 3,000 watts of broadcast power up to 7,000 watts. The move will place KTUH among the strongest top 1% of college radio stations across the United States. It's an incredible landmark for the first noncommercial radio station in the fiftieth state.
KTUH's roots stretch as far back as 1954. Then, it was known as KUOH, and began as a six watt monophonic FM station. DJs consisted of Speech and Communications Department professors that "played mostly classical tunes and ran news reports," recalls Tony Phonpituck, former KTUH Jazz and Blues Director.
No one remembers why the station was abruptly shut down just three years later in 1957, but it would take nearly a decade before three engineering students, led by Fred Barbaria, heard about the stockpile of abandoned equipment in Hawai'i Hall. They asked the Speech Communications department chair, Richard Rider, if they could relaunch the station (as a closed circuit AM carrier current station) under the supervision of Speech Communications instructor Tony Bond. Once they got the go-ahead, they placed an ad in Ka Leo, the University newspaper, asking for volunteers.
Together, they formed a small committee as part of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai'i (ASUH) student government organization in 1966, dedicated to music and broadcasting. Comprised of assorted ASUH students and a handful of professors, their goal was to offer an education in programming previously unavailable for students in Hawai'i.
"KTUH was built with the vision and action of a small but committed group of students with very little input from the administration or faculty of UH Mānoa," John Burnett remembered in Mālamalama. Burnett was a volunteer with the station in the 1970s and early '80s.
Using allotted committee funds, the 'new' station named "KTUH" (K being the national standard call sign for radio stations west of the Mississippi River, and TUH for The University of Hawaiʻi) began as an AM closed circuit operation using hand built equipment that reached the UH dorms. Fred Barbaria and ASUH Senator Ken Kuniyuki, the station's founders, became general manager and operations manager, respectively. Chris Harrison, KTUH's first chief engineer, built and installed the closed circuit AM transmitters for the dorms.
An instant hit among students, the ASUH began passing resolutions to petition then-UH President Thomas Hamilton and the University of Hawai'i's governing Board of Regents (BOR) to apply for an FM educational license. As 1966 rolled into 1967 and then 1968 with no action from the President or the Board, additional voices rose to support the fledgling station. First it was ASUH Senator Kuniyuki who sponsored yet another resolution to petition the BOR, then KTUH faculty advisor Dr. Forest L. Whan, then the UH Speech-Communications Department Chairman Dr. Richard Rider, and then finally Dean Furniss of the College of Arts and Sciences. In January 1969, the BOR authorized a filing for a 10-watt FM radio station on behalf of KTUH. By September that same year, the FCC granted the station its license.
In the 1968 license application to the FCC, KTUH's responsibilities were outlined as "to provide the people of Honolulu with alternative programming for the cultural and educational enrichment of the students of the University and the community." And now broadcast throughout Honolulu with an output power of 60 watts at 90.5 MHz, the station was able to do just that, becoming the first non-commercial FM radio station in the state of Hawai'i. Popularity grew quickly for the new station, the only one playing something other than the same Top 40 hits that circulated on every other radio station in town. Instead, KTUH was constantly pushing boundaries. It was one of the first stations in Hawai'i to play jazz, and greatly helped to popularize reggae and hip-hop locally. By 1970, KTUH switched from monophonic to stereo FM using a borrowed stereo encoder and transmitter and a homemade stereo console. In 1971, KTUH became the first radio station in the state to broadcast in quadraphonic sound. In 1973, a handful of DJs installed an ASUH-funded translator (repeater) in Kaimuki atop Leahi Hospital, expanding the station's 10-watt signal into Kaimuki, Kahala, and Hawai'i Kai. The Leahi translator was followed by the Mount Ma'ala translator, beaming KTUH's signal to O'ahu's north shore.
Before long, KTUH outgrew its small home in a radio lab space in Hawaiʻi Hall. With a grant from the UH Legislature in 1974 and the Campus Center Board in 1979, construction began on a new space for the station. When construction was complete, the new KTUH studios were double the size of the previous facility, with triple the previously available studio space, allowing for live music and performances, more complete news coverage, a larger vinyl and CD archive, and other special events. The station began hosting Monday Night Live, a weekly program dedicated to showcasing different local bands on the air with an interview and live performance. On Sunday afternoons, KTUH also launched Kipuka Leo, a radio program conducted completely in Hawaiʻian.
"We went from sitting in a studio in Hawai'i Hall with a psychedelic clock on the wall and a window that looked over the grounds to the windowless room in Hemenway Hall, where it still is today," Bob "da Budman" Wiorek, a staff member from 1976 to 1984, described to Mālamalama in 2006.
Accommodating the station meant changes for the University too. In 1977, KTUH now fell under the umbrella of the Director of the Bureau of Student Activities, who recommended that KTUH become part of a new chartered organization, a suggested "Broadcast Communication Authority" (BCA) to oversee radio and film programming for the University. The BCA was granted charter in 1983 with KTUH in tow, allowing for steady funding for the station. Its first project: increasing signal strength for the station from ten watts to 100.
At first, the plan was met with much resistance from the University, whose administration expressed concern about issues of liability that might arise from putting uncensored college students live on the air to a greater audience. Ultimately, KTUH won out and the station received the boost, allowing listeners from the North Shore to tune in for the first time. Sometimes on a clear day, KTUH could even come through all the way atop Haleakala on Maui. Not bad considering 100 watts is about the strength of your average light bulb.
For the next 15 years, KTUH would thrive on 100 watts. Due to its relatively short reach compared to commercial stations broadcasting at 50,000 watts, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) paid little attention to KTUH, allowing on-air DJs to experiment greatly and for the station to develop somewhat of a freewheeling reputation. But while 100 watts was a considerable boost from the past, KTUH was still spotty in many parts of the island; the station had fans who weren't always able to tune in.
In 1988, plans went into motion to grow KTUH further in an effort to increase signal strength once more. It would take 13 years and $68,000 (raised mostly through community donations and student fees), but the dream would be realized in 2001 when the station announced another boost, increasing frequency strength 30 times, to a whopping 3,000 watts of power.
"Studies conducted in 1998 concluded that we would nearly double our previous range," said Lori Ann Saeki, then-general manager of KTUH, in an article for Ka Leo back in 2001. "We did run a few tests [on Aug. 14] and at just a thousand watts we could be heard clearly in Halawa."
"What this will do is solidify [the station's] signal in the city," KTUH Chief Engineer Dale Machado told The Honolulu Advertiser. "You could get [KTUH] in the past … but you go behind a building and it would be gone."
The projected coverage map that Machado helped develop for the FCC for the proposed increase featured three or four times as much signal strength and power as before. The huge boost was necessary just to reach listeners because of the many obstacles for radio waves on O'ahu. If a radio signal hits something–like the Ko'olau Range–it'll bounce off. Partially to the Windward side and some listeners, but also a lot of it out into the wind. And by being on an island, much of KTUH's frequency winds up broadcasting…into the ocean.
"The prediction is, a lot of it is going into the water, actually," continued Machado, with a laugh. "The fish will get us good."
In order to achieve 3,000 watts of power for the station, a 90-foot tall tower with a 4-bay antenna was erected atop the Social Sciences Building at UH Mānoa. A 2,000-watt transmitter located on the sixth floor of the building would send its signals to the larger tower, which would pick it up and increase it by 1,000 watts, before sending it out across O'ahu.
But the move wasn't without hiccups. In preparation for the wattage increase, the station discovered the tower was covered in rust. It had to be repaired and cleaned–a necessary move that set the project back eighteen months. Anti-rust coating was purchased at $200 a kit to protect against Hawai'i's highly corrosive salt air.
Later, KTUH was forced to go off-air for the first extended time since 1969 that the station had been off Hawai'i airwaves. Just a few days before the station was scheduled to resume broadcast back in August 2001, more trouble: contractor Ross Putnam noticed damage on the new antenna. Two inner connectors, just a quarter-inch in diameter and an inch and a half in length, had been bent along with their sleeves. This tiny damage would've meant immediate problems for the new antenna, so replacement parts were ordered from the manufacturer in Bridgton, Maine. Another week passed.
Local media swarmed with anticipation. "The Little Station That Could will become The Little Station That Can, as the station that promotes itself as Hawaiʻi's Only Alternative gets its long-delayed and long-awaited chance to prove itself," Gary Chun wrote in the August 13 edition of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. But "Electronics and FedEx permitting," warned the same day's Pacific Business News.
That Thursday, August 16, 2001, the parts did arrive. And KTUH returned to Hawai'i, bright and early at 6 a.m., greeting waiting listeners with the first song over the air at 3,000 watts: "A Change Is Gonna Come," by Sam Cooke, sung by Otis Redding.
With a broadcast strength that stretched across all of O'ahu, that change had come for KTUH. And three minutes later, change came again when the station began streaming a live broadcast online at www.ktuh.org. For the first time ever, Hawai'i's only alternative music radio station was available to listeners across the globe.
But with great power came great responsibility: KTUH's increased wattage and reach meant more people tuning in to listen, requiring an increase in professionalism to meet this new audience's expectations. KTUH was growing up. The focus grew even tighter when, just four years later in November 2005, the station began broadcasting on a new translator specifically for the Windward side of the island, giving KTUH a third frequency (along with Honolulu and the North Shore).
And now, 15 years since the last power increase (and 30 years since the one before that), KTUH faces another bold leap forward, making the jump from 3,000 watts to 7,000. The increase will place KTUH among the strongest top 1% of college radio stations across the United States. But as part of an agreement with Hawai'i Public Radio (HPR), which KTUH's new antenna and signal strength are piggybacking on, it means the station will have to change frequencies for the first time in more than forty years. Although the North Shore will remain the same at 91.1 FM, KTUH 90.3 FM in Honolulu and 89.9 FM on the Windward side will become just 90.1 FM for the entire rest of the island.
Growth is good for KTUH and the boost in signal strength will mean an even larger coverage area on O'ahu and with better clarity. But for the change in frequency, KTUH risks losing some of their audience; longtime listeners who've had their dials locked to 90.3 FM for decades. Sometime either late this year or in early 2016, anyone tuning into 90.3 FM will catch just an adjunct frequency of HPR. KTUH will be gone.
Today, the station is in overdrive to spread the word about the frequency change. Although it's not due for another two to three months, KTUH has three separate parties planned to raise awareness and celebrate the shift from 90.3 to 90.1, on the North Shore, in downtown Honolulu, and at home in Mānoa. A new logo is currently in development to use this opportunity as a rebrand for the station, with additional events and promotions planned for the next several weeks.
"KTUH provided facilities and experiences that I otherwise wouldn't have had," says musician, writer, and recording artist Vivian Chow in an interview with Mālamalama. "As a DJ, it was empowering to be able to expose my favorite songs to a mass of people without being invasive. As a musician, I appreciate how KTUH is a great medium for actively supporting local talent."
Original KTUH General Manager Fred Barbaria is still in touch with the station, and is proud of the growth. "Glad to hear that my favorite radio station's move to 90.1 at 7 KW is close to launching. Tantalus should be a great site for coverage," says Barbaria.
"It's a big deal for all of us here at KTUH. This project has been in the making for over [five] years, and I'm proud to be a part of it," says current KTUH General Manager Nick Ciuffetelli. "The fact that KTUH is accomplishing this and still 100% student-run is what I'm most proud of as we make the move to Tantalus."
There are those who will invariably question the boost in wattage and whether the move is worthwhile, if the increase means losing an iconic local frequency. This change represents a paradigm shift for the station and a move towards the new or the different or the future means a move away from the past, away from KTUH's roots and heritage. Some will argue that the station isn't what it used to be.
It isn't. Because even from the beginning, KTUH has always represented a vehicle for change. Its very existence, an anomaly somehow brought to life through sheer force of will in the notoriously slow UH system. For close to half a century, the station has provided alternative radio programming, following (or ignoring) global music trends, offering audio and recording education for UH students and the community, introducing new artists to Hawai'i listeners, and ceasing airtime for those artists who are too overplayed on other radio stations already. And after each step forward, whether it was to a new building, wattage level, or frequency, KTUH immediately began planning the next big move; it has never settled for just being 'what it used to be.'
Much like technology, KTUH's survival depends on its ability to evolve and adapt. Growth is not a novelty here; it is a necessity in order to stay relevant to listeners. Changes such as the boost in wattage is important now more than ever, in this era of iTunes, Pandora, and Spotify where audiences can listen to any song they want to with the click of a button.
Luckily at KTUH's core is the one element that these technologies, with their vast capabilities, have been unable to fully replicate: curated musical selections. The question for audiences in 2015 isn't figuring out how to listen to music; it's deciding what to listen to. And for all the songs picked at random by computer algorithms on Pandora or sloppily assembled by strangers on Spotify, none can replace the experience or insight of a skilled, passionate DJ up to snuff about their music. What the world asks of KTUH now is simply to make their voice a little louder; to be better heard apart from the noise.
After all the years and the students and the changes, KTUH is still here. Still operating from a low key building on the UH campus, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's a tribute to the open-minded and the unique; to those seeking an alternative to the mainstream for wherever they may be and from whichever generation they might hail.
"What's really great about good radio is that it exposes you to music you never would have heard—not only new music but old music as well—which is an incredibly important concept at KTUH," explains Mānoa music instructor and station alum Jay Junker. According to Mālamalama, Junker urged all his students to do shows on KTUH if they were able.
The station will continue to travel at light speed, from 1969 all the way to 7,000 watts and beyond, despite evolving music styles, technologies, and even a constantly rotating management staff comprised of incoming and outgoing UH students. Because at KTUH, change is the constant. Fifty years later, it was perhaps Otis Redding who explained it best.
"There was a time that I thought, Lord, this couldn't last for very long, but somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on," Otis Redding sang in 1965. "It's been a long, long, long time coming … but I know a change is gotta come."

Brendan Keenan: Politicians are still telling simple citizens not to worry
Proper analysis might well find that changing tax and payment rates is not the best option
SO Brian Lenihan was right after all. The worst is over. You may remember the pasting the late Mr Lenihan received for uttering those words. Perhaps his timing was a bit out, but you would think his experience would be a warning to all politicians not to try to cheer us up before we are ready.
Yet here comes Michael Noonan, telling us that this year's Budget will be only two-thirds as bad as last year's. Which, on any mathematical basis, can be translated as, "The worst is over."
Mr Noonan seems to have gotten away with it rather better than Mr Lenihan did. Perhaps the use of a fraction helped. As we know from the Leaving Cert results, maths is not the national strong suit. We are a literary people. A pithy saying will always get more of a reaction than something with a numerator and denominator in it.

My Angel Friend - Poem by Eliza Elaine Lim
The first time we met,
I felt so comfortable and safe.
It's like I met my guardian angel,
In land.
I don't even know how I made you smile.
But it's a sort of relief
That you smile,
Because of me.
How could a devil turned out into an angel?
No one can tell, even the science.
But only my heart can do,
All because of you.
Because of you,
I can taste the bitterness of coffee
I can feel the heat of the sun
The only proof of your existence
That I'm not that so cold.
It's so magical and I just can't believe
That this will happen.
A dark past of mine
Will be covered by a rainbow.

Disclaimer: Don't own, don't sue.
Rating: PG 13
Warnings: Angst, Seventeen's POV
"Genesis" was originally intended to be the prologue for this series however in my usual fashion what should have been a mere few pages turned into a complete fic in its own right and therefore I needed to write another 'prologue'. Looking up the definition for the word Android proved to be the catalyst for this piece which I hope will whet your appetite to read more...
March 2002 Debs-dragon.
Android :- ((aN droid'), adj. possessing human features. n. - An automaton that is
created from biological materials and resembles a human. Also called humanoid.
(American Heritage Dictionary. c 2000 )
Android :- (an'droid) A machine or automaton in the form of a human being.
(Websters Revised Unabridged Dictionary.)
So that is what an android is. I stared at the screen of the computer. Nothing more than a machine that is made up from biological and artificial materials. Hmmmm, no wonder the servants that worked here for Gero looked so human.
"He is an android."
The words echoed back into my head.
"I created him."
I allowed the memory to invade my mind, remembering the first time I had seen one of Gero's creations.
"It has taken me years to perfect the technique but at last it is finally coming together and all paying off."
Such strong words from the slender, white haired man. To look at him you would never believe that such evil could lurk within. The body looked too old and frail to house such vehemence; but trust me, it did.
The mind encased inside that wrinkled head was one of the most brilliant for its time, and like so many other geniuses before him, his insights and inventions were so far ahead that they scared people. And scared people shun, ridicule and torment what they cannot and do not understand. So again, like so many of the others that were ahead of their time, Gero was forced to hide and continue his works in secret. Unfortunately, once more like so many before him, the solitude and ridicule played upon that sensitive mind, in effect drawing the line between sanity and insanity so thin that in the end it could not be found.
Gero incarcerated himself into his own fortress deep and safe in the mountainside, only emerging when he needed to. People left him alone and he preferred it that way.
Simple robots led Gero further into the field of robotics, and what began as a simple interest soon deepened into an obsession, with the man spending hours upon hours locked deep inside his laboratory. He had no need of human interaction and created his own servants to look after him and his home.
But still it wasn't enough.
There was a purpose... a reason behind this obsession that Gero would not admit to anyone and so he continued to work away trying to perfect his creations.
And then came the breakthrough.
Krystal and I came to live in this world of Gero's shortly after he managed to find what it was he was looking for with his research and experimentations.
I rue that day.
I still cannot tell you exactly how it all happened... It was kind of like a huge jigsaw puzzle, the more we did the further involved we became until there was simply no way out until what was started was finished.
Had I known then what I know now I would have fought harder... harder to stay with those I knew... harder to stay where it was safe... harder to look after my sister...
Krystal... My dear, sweet, Krystal. I promised to look after you and protect you. Oh how you must hate me now.
I turn back to the computer screen and idly type at the keys. The screen flickers, the drive hums and clicks as it searches.
Now I know what purpose Gero had when he tried so hard to build perfection.
The screen clears and the information I requested is displayed for me. I study it and commit it all to memory.
Once again I type in a search request. The screen changes as it displays the result. I read and then get up to leave.
Walking slowly to the doors of the laboratory, my mind full of what I have to do, what I have become, I ponder the screen one last time and then retrace my steps to switch it off...
Revenge :- inflict injury, etc for wrong done; avenge (oneself or another) n. desire for
vengeance; act that satisfies this.
(Oxford Dictionary )

When you want all the melt in your mouth goodness of pumpkin pie, without the hassle of baking a crust, these bites will do the trick. Made with just a handful of simple ingredients, these will fulfill all your pumpkin pie cravings without the gluten, or time spent at the oven. These are best enjoyed cold, so they're a great option while you're still cooling down from summer.
These are loaded with good fats, from coconut and the use of Nikki's Coconut Butter, ghee, which gives them a little hint of that buttery flavor, and of course, everyone's favorite, nutrient dense coconut oil. You can omit the coconut sugar for a less sweet treat and to make these more low carb. And if you'd like some crunch with your pie bites, just sprinkle in a few of your favorite crushed nuts before freezing.
You will need:
1/4 cup Nikki's Vanilla Cake Batter Coconut Butter or coconut butter
2 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp ghee
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Mix over low heat, stirring until combined, then freeze in a silicon candy mold, or spread into a sheet on parchment paper (will create a bark when frozen and broken.) Freeze for several hours until mixture will pop out easily. If pouring onto a sheet of parchment, break up into pieces like a candy bark.

During the initial climb at slow speed, the pilot was aware of the engine seeming to "splutter" and he increased the collective input. The low rpm horn then activated and, assuming an engine failure, the pilot lowered the collective and carried out a forced landing into some trees. The helicopter was extensively damaged during the landing. No malfunction was subsequently identified with the engine and the pilot considered that the apparent engine problem may have been the result of carburettor icing.

|Double Door Gun Safe Level ll

Double Door Gun Safes
There are a number of reasons why gun collectors prefer our double door gun safe to our single door gun safes. A double door gun safe that has locking mechanisms on both doors provides added security, because a burglar has to open two doors instead of one to retrieve all the contents in the safe. Since he has to take twice the amount of time to empty the safe, his chances of success will be greatly reduced. Additionally, a double door gun safe is larger than an ordinary single door gun safe, and therefore, it provides more storage space. If you have a large collection of guns, it is a good idea to get a double door gun safe.
Homeland Security has three types of high quality double door gun safes for you to choose from, and they are the Level II, Level V, and Level VII. These gun safes are produced with the strongest materials, and they have highly advanced features to provide exceptional security and convenience.
They come with standard dimensions of 72" x 60" x 27", which is large enough to store 32 to 64 long guns, as well as many handguns, accessories, and ammunition. They feature a combine interior that has a separate section for long guns and several sections for other items. The fully carpeted interior ensures that your firearms will not be scratched or damaged during storage.
Homeland Security has equipped its double door gun safes with a number of excellent features to provide the best security possible, and these features include an advanced spy-proof lock from S&G, drill-resistant 60 rockwell steel plate, anti-theft handles, and two relocking devices. Depending on the model, the thickness of doors ranges from ¼" to 2". Homeland Security's double door gun safes also have very impressive fire ratings. The fire ratings for the Level II and Level VII models are 1200 degrees for 30 minutes and 2300 degrees for 60 minutes respectively. All models come with an expandable fire gasket that provides extra protection against fire.
Homeland Security offers lifetime warranty for all its double door gun safes. The company will repair or replace your safe at no cost if it has been damaged by a drill punch, pry attack, or fire.

Remember that Windows loves to hide things from the user. Enable showing of system and hidden files to see the whole hardisk contents so that you include those while counting.
Also, take into account that you normally don't have read permission to everything so those will never be included. Try running WinDirStat as administrator and let it count again.
You first post shows your HD as a recovery partition, remember to take it into account when doing the maths.
One more thing, if you look at the C drive properties, how much total and free space does it reports?

If my calculation is right, you have appr. 165GBs that are unaccounted for. Very strange. I really wonder how that could have gone on the disk without showing in the Master File Table.

The TreeSize screenshot shows 239 GB on System Volume Information, far more than anything else. This folder is where system restore points are stored, you could try deleting some of the oldest ones or reducing the space assigned to it.

Treesize is correctly showing your C drive as having 431GB in use. On a 500GB drive formatted you have about 465GB of actual capacity, so your original comment about having only 20GB left free sounds about right. Actually, Treesize (in its lower-left pane) shows you a summary how much allocated and free space you have on all your drives. The upper-left pane shows "used", and the lower-left pane shows "total capacity" and "free".
Also, as was pointed out from your screenshot, it is your System Volume Information (i.e. restore points) which are clearly the issue here. Two simple things you can do to clean that up:
(1) You can quickly use Disk Cleanup (from Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup) to delete all but the latest system restore points. It can also examine the rest of your potentially unneeded system data and get rid of that as well.
Let it examine C, and check just about all of the "files to delete" items that are offered to you. I don't know why, but the only item I normally leave un-checked for deletion is "setup log files", because in my mind I think that is somehow potentially possibly useful. Anyway it's usually small, with the rest of the items shown normally amounting to quite a number of GB of worthless system data (e.g. error dumps queued for error reporting, Windows Update cleanup, etc.).
On the same Disk Cleanup dialog window, before you push the OK button to perform the deletion of all the items you've checked, select the "more options" tab. At the lower half of that tab is a "system restore and shadow copies" section, with a "Clean up..." button. If you push that button you will get a confirmation about "are you sure you want to delete all but the latest system restore point", and you then push the DELETE button in that confirmation. Presto, all but the latest restore point is now instantly vaporized.
Now you can push the OK button at the bottom of the Disk Cleanup dialog (and then push the DELETE FILES button on the confirmation dialog), to perform the vaporization of the rest of those multiple GB of other system data that is just taking space and really not needed.
(2) You can easily LIMIT the total amount of space used going into the System Volume Information area (i.e. restore points). You don't need to let this ever happen again, where you're using 250GB of space for system restore points.
Right-click on Computer -> Properties -> System protection, to get the System Properties dialog with the "system protection" tab selected. In the Protection Settings window that shows each of your drives and whether restore points are ON or OFF for each drive, select your "C (System)" drive. Then push the CONFIGURE button to set the limit of how much maximum space on the drive is to be used for the system restore are (i.e. System Volume Information).
Push the OK button (on both dialogs) and from now on Windows will automatically "prune" the oldest restore point(s) when a new one is created, in order to remain within the approximate maximum space limit you just specified for this drive.
There's certainly you have no need for allocating more than 5% of your 500GB drive to this purpose (i.e. under 25GB), and probably less than that. Your screenshot shows each restore point at about 6GB, so that would give you about four restore points in your generational retention. Typically you only ever might make use of the last one (or possibly two) restore points to recover from some problem that doing this could be your solution.
Of course for your own added protection you should also be taking regular independent "system image" and "data" backups using other software (e.g. Macrium Reflect, NovaBackup, etc.) and a regular nightly/weekly/monthly backup regimen, which provides additional solutions and backups for other and possibly more serious issues... preferably to an external USB backup drive.

BADLADZ Beach Resort Reviews
"Best place I've stayed at in the Philippines…"
If you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy nature, then BADLADZ BEACH RESORT is the place for you. A semi-private beach and magnificent view combine to make this a fun and fantastic choice for families, couples and friends alike.
BADLADZ BEACH RESORT, with both a pool and a beach, is a prime destination for recharging your batteries. There's plenty of space to do what you want. Take a walk on the beach, bask in the sunshine and swim in the pristine blue water. Lounge around under the palm trees on the lawn.
"Best place I've stayed at in the Philippines. Would stay there again if I return. The hospitality typical of the Filipinos is evident. Spotless rooms and restaurant, fabulous beach and pool, walking distance to the quaint downtown are more reasons I would return."
Agge F, Seba Beach, Canada
"I was extremely happy from the start…"
We stayed in this resort for a weekend holiday and I was extremely happy from the start that we are in reception they have a very unique smile that make you feel more welcome… We went to our room which is located in the second floor I request to the receptionist if it is ok to have room in the ground floor because I have my 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son and they made a quick response never let me wait and advice me that the room that I request in the ground floor is ready. The food is very tasty specially pork sinigang which serve in the traditional clay pot. I ask them for a high chair for my son one lady with a very unique smile gave it to us and I didn't know that was owner! Ms. Mylene thank you very much and to all of your staff.. It was a great experience staying in your hotel.. And the guy who fix our television in room no. 15 I greatly recommend this resort.. They have Excellent customer service which come from the heart and good and clean facility's.

The true value of a corporation becomes significant when it coexists with society, and we return the value created through our business activities back to society to fulfill our role and responsibility as a corporate citizen.
Companies are required to conduct diverse value-oriented activities for coexistence with local communities as well as profit generation. Thus, it is increasingly critical to amicably and continuously communicate with local communities and support their sustainable growth.
Risk & Opportunity
If a company is negligent in developing and involving in its local communities, it may lose its source of social support. Proactive involvement in resolving social issues, as a global corporate citizen, beyond merely fulfilling its economic responsibility will give a chance not only to contribute to the development of local communities but also to enhance corporate value.
Future Plans and Outlook
To reach our mid/long-term goal of 'contributing to the growth of local communities and enhancement of corporate brand value', we will undertake social-giving initiatives on the basis of 'four strategic directions': company-wide expansion of social contribution, participation of employees, focusing on core competence, and fostering local community's sustainability. Specifically in 2016, we will focus on establishing a communication system to create philanthropy programs centered on developing local communities, which will allow us to exactly understand their needs and forge closer and more truthful relations.
Progress of Health and safety
Our Approach
Hankook Tire's declaration of management responsibility and governance with local community participation and development
Hankook Tire is committed to taking the lead in addressing local issues through consistent communication with local communities as well as directly and indirectly contributing to national economic growth through its businesses. We will also fulfill our role and responsibility as a corporate citizen and create social value by being proactive in distributing economic value generated from our businesses.
Management Responsibility and Governance

Stakeholder Interview
Interview of individual directly related to Hankook Tire's local community participation and development
Stakeholder Interview
Jung, Kyoung-sook (Community Chest of Korea, Resource Development Division)
It was through the free tire replacement support project 'Driving Happy Together' that we at the Community Chest of Korea first established our relationship with Hankook Tire. We joined forces in planning social giving programs that reflect Hankook Tire's unique business characteristics. In 2014, we jointly initiated the 'Driver License Support' project to help underprivileged women gain economic independance and the 'Creation of a Safer Traffic Environment for Children' project in five areas. In consideration of Hankook Tire's capability to contribute to our society, we focused on the independence of women and the safety of children in planning differentiated social giving projects. The 'Creation of a Safer Traffic Environment for Children' is unique in that is aims to improve school commuting conditions for children, an area that has not been fully explored but is in need of philanthropic commitment. While traffic accidents involving children occur frequently and traffic safety along school commuting routes is of paramount concern, children's traffic safety has not been taken seriously as a top priority in improving community environments. Through Hankook Tire's philanthropic commitment to children's traffic safety, our children will be able to go to school and come home safely. Specifically, this new program is unique in that it encourages children to think about safety issues along their routes to school and present solutions of their own. The creation of this social giving program, which will generate tremendous benefits for local communities, is attributed to the deep-rooted partnership between Hankook Tire and the Commmunity Chest of Korea. It is my sincere hope that we each design diverse philanthropic programs that contribute to our society based on our positive partnership.

About: Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road) Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road) London EC1V 2PD
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
Until I went to A&E two weeks ago I just didn't realise what a fantastic job the staff and doctors do at this specialist hospital We are exceptionally lucky to have such a great facility here in the capital. I was referred to Moorfields A&E by my optician following a routine visit. I was seen right away by a triage nurse who was just wonderful - so reassuring, kind and helpful. Honestly, I don't think I could have wished for better. I then saw a doctor within ten minutes who made his diagnosis and advised what treatment would be necessary. He too was extremely reassuring, explained absolutely everything in language you could understand. His diagnosis meant I was seen in their outpatients clinic 10 days later and the problem is now being dealt with. Whatever time you have to wait is really worth it - you will get the best treatment for eye problems in this country and if you have a genuine emergency (like I did) you will not wait at all, you will be seen without delay.

Mount Hotham Travel Blog› entry 4 of 5 › view all entries
Mt Hotham is a ski resort in the Victorian Alps, perched on the top of the mountain with its ski runs heading down. It's much more spread out than nearby Falls Creek, and smaller than the NSW resorts of Perisher and Thredbo. But it's not about size, right?
I drove to Mt Hotham with a friend from Canberra; it took us close to 10 hours, taking into account roadworks, a dinner stop in Albury (or was it Wodonga?), the obligatory "are we on the right road?" stop and the creeping mist as we wound our way up the mountain. Driving through the village at night was eery, with the roads banked by deep snow. We stayed at the White Crystal apartments which is pretty much in the centre of Hotham; unfortunately, you have to park a couple of kilometres down the road and catch the bus back, and then try to remember exactly where you parked your car 4 days later.
The apartment is 2-storey with a kitchen, drying room, 1.5 bathrooms. It was on the cosy side because we had 3 more people than were supposed to stay there, but we made it work. The best thing about on-snow accommodation is the fact you can put your boots on in the warmth and comfort of the indoors before heading out; not hopping around on one foot in the windswept carpark of Perisher while your hands slowly freeze. So, Hotham was already a winner for me!
There are very few green runs at Hotham; the beginner slope is the only part of the resort that is uphill from the road. It always looked so windy and horrible up there, so I pitied any boarders/skiiers who had come here to learn. We spent the first couple of days familiarising ourselves with the runs just below our accommodation, including a few black runs which took us deeper into the gullies - with some great scenery of the surrounding mountains.
The best part about the terrain at Hotham is perhaps the huge bowls carved out into the side of mountains, which make for some seriously fun boarding (if I remember correctly, some of these were found off to the side of the Heavenly Valley chair). We were lucky; it snowed the first couple of days and was bright and sunny for our very last day, when we visited the Orchard which is on the far side of the resort. The Orchard is sparesly populated with low shrubs and a couple of trees - powder heaven! - and ends with a relatively narrow chute which you can make the most of by riding it like a halfpipe. The crowds were manageable, particularly if you timed your breaks off-peak, and the only part I didn't like was the last part of the Snake Gully run which takes all the traffic from the Orchard area and other lifts, and gets chopped up and bumpy (not to mention dangerously full of people).
The Mt Hotham resort area is serviced by free shuttle buses so you can visit other hotels and pubs down the road; we only ventured out once to a pub for schnitzel/pizza because we had a bar at the bottom of our building (bonus!). We also managed to catch a freestyle competition just outside our apartment one night, which really instils some respect for those (crazy) boarders and skiiers who can land massive jumps - and those who can't!

Unanswered: UDF in JAVA problems
I've got 2 DB2 v8.1 configuration problems.
1) AFTER I run a UDF written in Java on my DB2 installation on Solaris, a process called 'db2fmp' starts running and in a mum of time it takes 95% of the CPU-time.
First I don't understand why he does this after the function has runned, I already have my output. And secondly why it goes up to to 95% of the CPU-time .
Anyone an idea how to silve this problem
2)I've also a DB2 installation on a Slackware-machine (Linux). Everything works fine, only when I try following code:
CREATE TABLE tester(a int)
INSERT INTO tester VALUES(2),(5),(3)
CREATE FUNCTION test2(Int) RETURNS Int external name 'udfs.func' deterministic no external action NOT FENCED language JAVA parameter style DB2GENERAL no sql
SELECT test2(a) FROM tester
I've got following error:
'SQL1042C An unexpected system error
occurred. SQLSTATE=58004'
And when I look at the db2diag.log I get:

So then she goes "My boyfriends right outside".
I'm like............"ok......"("wtf...." is going in my head.).
Then she flirts with everyone, and me and the old-guy in the back are like......(knew it).
Point is, I hate high school girls. There fucking idiots.
Slutty ones are bad.

Is a "Putinization" of central and eastern Europe underway? The head of the German parliament's Europe committee, Günter Krichbaum, says no - but sees plenty of reason for concern.
DW: How do you assess developments in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria against the backdrop of the Ukraine crisis? Critics warn of a "Putinization" of these countries and a drift eastward. Is Russian influence turning back the clocks?
Gunter Krichbaum: First, we should clarify what we associate with the term "Putinization." If we include growing Russian influence on the interior and foreign policy decisions of certain EU countries, then I cannot see such a development. Quite the opposite - since all 28 EU states have, step by step, have increased sanctions against Russia. In Romania, for example, reservations about Moscow and pan-Slavic fantasies are traditionally very considerable. With the frozen conflict in Transnistria, Romania also has a conflict caused by Russia right on its doorstep.
Through the annexation of Crimea, the overall security architecture of the regionhas now changed
. So Putin definitely cannot hope for support or even sympathy here. Moreover, the countries of central and eastern Europe can see very clearly that EU and NATO membership protect them from Putin's aggression. Had Ukraine been a member of the EU or NATO, Russia would probably not have risked annexing Crimea illegally. None of the central and eastern European, EU and NATO members are yearning to belong to the Warsaw Pact again!
The Warsaw Pact is history, but there are economic constraints that affect the policies of these states.
Of course, the individual EU states are connected in different ways to Russia economically. Thus,some countries are still 100 percent dependent on Russian energy supplies
. We must take that into account, of course, and help to reduce this dependence. If a Hungarian prime minister, due to his country's close economic ties to Russia,publicly doubts the meaning and purpose of EU sanctions
- which he backed in the European Council, mind you - then that does not create a good image of the internal cohesion of the EU on this issue.
However, if by "Putinization" you mean dubious domestic political tendencies in individual member states of the EU, I find the term unfortunate. Not one of the heads of state and government in Romania, Bulgaria or Hungary is comparable to Putin, his power politics and his authoritarian rule. Despite some blemishes, each has arisen via democratic elections. However, I won't deny that some developments in these countries are cause for concern.
Which developments? Why don't we start with Romania?
Here, for example, a cold, constitutional coup was thwarted two years ago, and only through a massive intervention by the European Commission. Or even the whole plan to lift a 45-day ban on municipal officials changing party affiliation. It wasn't by chance, of course, that this happened just before the presidential election - and is clearly intended to influence the election.
What's the situation like in Bulgaria?
Now, after months-long protests, we're looking at early parliamentary elections there. The trigger for this was not only the poor economic situation, but also the unrestrained distribution of government posts to incompetent partisans of the government. Such behavior threatens democracy, since the citizens lose confidence in the state, and populists therefore have an easy time.
Hungary's the third country under fire.
In Germany especially, Hungary's at the center of the criticism. Much of what is criticized here must be differentiated. If 45 percent of the vote can achieve a two-thirds majority in [Hungary's] parliament, it is criticized. But when, due to British majority voting, many votes fall by the wayside, nobody voices doubts, conversely, about democracy there. We should therefore be mindful of false reflections.
But I also see worrying trends in Hungary. Take the new media law - the latest attempt to get the media more strictly under control - which the EU Commission has prevented. Now, a new law appears to be an attempt to achieve the original goals through other means. Apparently, many actors in Budapest do not really understand why the Commission intervened, or don't take the EU seriously.
What can the EU undertake in order to stop the anti-democratic tendencies?
What I personally have in mind - similar to the Commission's EU Justice Scoreboard or our European Semester - is a regular monitoring of the development of democracy and fundamental rights in all EU member states. This could be carried out by the European fundamental rights agency in Vienna at the request of the EU Commission.

Eastern European states are expressing concern about the West's Russia stance, calling it indecisive and docile. In Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, dormant fears of past aggression are being reawakened. (10.09.2014)
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes the sanctions on Russia are more harmful to the West, saying the policy is like 'shooting oneself in the foot.' He urges the EU to rethink the measures. (15.08.2014)
Romania has begun the trial of a former communist-era prison head accused of tormenting inmates to death. It's Romania's first bid to bring to justice a key figure of a system that once locked up 500,000 dissidents. (24.09.2014)
