Windows 7 Wont Install
Ok so i have tried on several occasions to install windows 7 and this is how it goes. So i get to the first restart and it restarts like its sapposed to then it loads back up again and does its installing and once i get to the second restart it does its count down thing to restart and it freezes when it try's to restart. I have tried to manualy restart it at that point and it loads and goes to finishing installation and i let it sit there all night last night from 1am till 11:30 this morning and nothing happened. i am trying to figure out why it wont restart on its own and why it wont finish installation.

It's not clear where you are now at. Are you trying to dual boot? Did it roll back ?
If it did - or if you are able to boot into XP - look on the 7 partition in ~bt\Sources\Rollback , or .~bt\Sources\Panther check the last entries in the setupact and setuperr logs. They should say what stopped it.
If you are stuck and unable to boot into anything right now, you could try this:
Boot the 7 dvd ( select Repair My Computer instead of Install Now) - it might attempt automatic startup repair. If not, after it has searched for installations , click Next and select startup repair. If it says it was successful - then restart, and if necessary, select windows 7 from the boot menu.
If that is not successful - and you can't boot into anything:[ and if you are trying to dual boot and still have XP installed]
Boot 7 dvd to Repair My Computer - this time, select the command prompt, type
bootsect /nt52 all
then press enter . close cmd prompt. Restart. You should then be able to boot into XP.

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-bit
If you got a bad checksum on a BIOS flash you may have fouled things up badly and need a new motherboard or EPROM chip.
Bad advice to flash the BIOS unnecessarily.
It's hard to understand your post.
Take a few deep breaths and rewrite it so it is more understandable. Try some punctuation and capitalization.

Ok so i installed using the recommendation that i use only what i necessary, 1 Stick of ram,Cd Drive, HD, Everything else was unplugged. I did a clean install. Everything went well all the way up to the first restart. So it restarted and continued the installation process got to 100% on windows installation did the updates and tried to restart and second time and it still froze.
So i manually restarted it and it went to finishing installation and got stuck there and did nothing i waited for like 30 mins and yet still nothing. So yet again i manually restarted again and and it went to the restoring old windows and now i am back here. Also i looked in the windows 7 partition and i could not find the file's listed by SIW2 and i could not find these files.
I installed windows 7 before and after i flashed the bios and nothing. The only other option that was posted is to run a memtest and see what happens. windows 7 compatibility test said that my computer can run this OS so all suggestions welcome.

... to have an argument with SIL over her post about controlled crying?(362 Posts)
Post: 'Dear mommy,
I am confused.
I am used to falling asleep in your soft, warm arms. Each night I lay snuggled close to you; close enough to hear your heartbeat, close enough to smell your sweet fragrance. I gaze at your beautiful face as I gently drift off to sleep, safe and secure in your loving embrace. When I awaken with a growling stomach, cold feet or because I need a cuddle, you attend to me quickly and before long I am sound asleep once again.
But this last week has been different.
Gentle, Tear-Free Sleep Solution
Each night this week has gone like this. You tucked me up into my cot and kissed me goodnight, turned out the light and left. At first I was confused, wondering where youd gone. Soon I became scared, and called for you. I called and called for you mummy, but you wouldnt come! I was so sad, mummy. I wanted you so badly. Ive never felt feelings that strong before. Where did you go?
Eventually you came back! Oh, how happy and relieved I was that you came back! I thought you had left me forever! I reached up to you but you wouldnt pick me up. You wouldnt even look me in the eye. You lay me back down with those soft warm arms, said shh, its night time now and left again.
This happened again, over and over. I screamed for you and after a while, longer each time, you would return but you wouldnt hold me.
After I had screamed a while, I had to stop. My throat hurt so badly. My head was pounding and my tiny tummy was growling. My heart hurt the most, though. I just couldnt understand why you wouldnt come.
After what felt like a lifetime of nights like this, I gave up. You dont come when I scream, and when you do finally come you wont even look me in the eye, let alone hold my shaking, sobbing little body. The screaming hurt too much to carry on for very long.
I just dont understand, mummy. In the daytime when I fall and bump my head, you pick me up and kiss it better. If I am hungry, you feed me. If I crawl over to you for a cuddle, you read my mind and scoop me up, covering my tiny face with kisses and telling me how special I am and how much you love me. If I need you, you respond to me straight away.
But at night time, when its dark and quiet and my night-light casts strange shadows on my wall, you disappear. I can see that youre tired, mummy, but I love you so much. I just want to be near to you, thats all.
Now, at night time, I am quiet. But I still miss you.'
She doesn't understand why it's angered me. In my opinion, it's emotional blackmail and utterly manipulative. I did controlled crying with DD1, but she was naturally a good sleeper so it wasn't really a challenging experience. DD2 isn't a great sleeper, and we do try for a few minutes to see if she will settle, but get her back up when she doesn't.
As I see it, this is written by an adult projecting her own feelings about CC onto others through the form of a poor vulnerable baby, it really doesn't sit right with me at all.
I don't really agree with co-sleeping, but I never would post stuff like this to upset people doing co-sleeping.
Utterly nauseating post. For that alone she is completely unreasonable.
However, you are also unreasonable for not warning us we might need sick-bags.
Op, firstly an apology. I haven't RTFT, very rude however I wanted to respond to your OP. this appeared on my FB news feed via an NCT associate. I have a nearly 9 month old. I simply posted....
"What a pile of guilt tripping, manipulative bullshit. Who actually has time to write this crap".
Isn't this an ancient thread? Anyway, there's no excuse for that kind of mawkish, sentimental writing and overuse of the word 'tiny', which has suddenly become incredibly irritating. No excuse even if the author were under one.
I did CC and I don't have an ounce of guilt
I wouldn't have an argument with her. I would just think she was a total twunt.
I have seen that pop up on my Facebook and thought it was the most mawkish, vomit-inducing thing I have ever read.
I mentally categorised the person who posted it into the same category as people who "wuff their gawguss l'il man", grown women who like to be called "Princess", people who re-post Britain First toss, UKIP voters and people who could spend an entire day being amused by a bit of fluff they found on their feet.
This kind of mawkish crap is really vomit inducing. I'm embarrassed for folk that post this kind of crap.
ugh, i hate emotionally manipulative shit like this so much. It makes me actively want to do controlled crying :P
it's right up there with the pro-lifers who are emotionally manipulative and really shit parents who enjoy making their kids cry just to see the tears. Getting what you want by this sort of shit is pathetic
the only reasonable response is 'fuck off'.
<coughs and calms down>
A couple of years ago I could have posted this one in return.
'Dear DD, as I heave my exhausted body from the bed to attend to you for the 8th time tonight I reflect on how I am a shell of my former self. Whilst my love for you is boundless I myself have become depressed after 12 months waking every 45 minutes to breast feed you back to sleep. Your brother is having a miserable time because his parents are too tired to parent him properly, and Daddy could well loose his job as a result of your terrible sleeping. I am so sad. I want sleep so badly.'
I think that people who are very against CC (and I was one of them until DD came along) have never had a really bad sleeper. After 12 months of hell we did CC and 3 nights later she slept through and our lives changed.
I think that anyone who puts really strong parenting opinions on FB is asking for trouble - and that smaltzy 'dear Mommy' post is SO passive aggressive. In her favour though she probably didn't think through how it could make some people feel, she probably just liked the sentimentality of it.
It's a very old thread.
Fwiw CC saved my sanity and is a miracle.
Your sil sounds like a dramatic cunt
Zombie thread
I co slept but I am trying controlled crying now as my 9mo is waking every two hours. I hate it but that's because of how it makes ME feel, and those are feelings that I am trying not to project. Each to their own but I would never have done it before she was 6 months, or if she is ill or hasn't eaten much in the day.
Research is different though fanjo what if someone posted something along the lines of
Mummy every time we go in the car I get dreadfully upset that I'm pointing forwards is so dangerous mummy oh why oh why didn't you go to halfords.
"The 'if you are hurt by this it's because it makes you feel guilty about your choices' attitude is arse too"
I agree.
I find it a bit offensive when people say I am putting my child's life in danger by not having a rear facing seat for example, or that I could have had a better birth if only I had tried more but I don't assume that every time someone posts a link to research on those things that they are aiming it at me specifically.
What is hurtful is when people tell you that you are neglecting/harming your child... i.e explicitly telling you.
In either case the OP had every opportunity to call 'bollox' on the link posted if she wanted to, rather than assuming it was explicitly about her.
At the end of the day the world doesn't stop just because you have a baby. You still have to attend those appointments, your older children still need to get to school, your neighbours still have to sleep, and you and your partner still need to get to work. If parents see fit to spend months pacing halls or sleeping in every room and garden shed so not to wake everyone else then that's up to them, but its unfair to criticise those who choose to address the situation. Newborn - normal, 4 months -normal by 8/9/10 months its not normal. Yes they still may feed at night but it is not unreasonable to expect 4-6 hour blocks and for them to even <shock horror> sleep through. I'm sure most people are bright enough to realise that if there Are no improvements after a few days then either there is something else wrong that needs addressing first, or that the method they are choosing isn't working. I would never criticise anyone doing cc because I believe it's just as selfish and unfair that the older child is kept up all night. What about their stress and cortisol levels? Sleep is not a luxury as pointed out in a previous post. It's something vital for growth and development and its as important to try and achieve that for the babies sake as well as the rest of the family. If co sleeping works then great. If gradual retreat works well that's great to, but if its cc thats your last resort as nothing else worked then that's fine too. Don't ever underestimate the effects of poor sleeping.
It's also worth pointing out that chronic sleep deprivation is a major risk factor for PND, which has been shown many times to have an adverse effect on babies.
So if parents are opting for the (minor, unproven) risk that CC may affect their babies, as a way of heading off their own MH problems and the (major, proven) risk that their MH will affect their babies then how in the world is it reasonable or indeed ethical to make them more anxious and guilty about this decision?
Toad that made me laugh!!
of course that SIL will think people doing CC are unreasonable if she really has a baby who will be immediately sound asleep as soon as mommy has attended to its needs. She should try:
dear Mommy, I only fall asleep when I'm sleeping on you and wake up screaming every 20 minutes, around the clock. I also wake up screaming whenever you move and then keep screaming for ages, no matter what you do. Yes, you are always crying yourself and starting to look a bit like zombie, but that's just tough luck..
The 'if you are hurt by this it's because it makes you feel guilty about your choices' attitude is arse too. I guess some people skip merrily into cc, but a whole lot more try it in desperation because they can't cope. The first lot will never feel guilty, the second lot already do.
YANBU. Unkind, unimaginative, mawkish post,
I hope never to have to do cc, but sleep isn't some kind of luxury you can do without.
PPS Here's a fairly balanced evaluation of the relationship between cortisol/stress in infancy research and controlled crying: link
Oh and a twins lot in life is to wait.You don't hear of thousands of screwed up sets of twins (or babies born into larger families) because they've had to wait 5 minutes.
I like the maj of 60s babies was left to cry down the bottom of the garden.Very close to my mum and ever grateful for the good routine of sleep,3 nutritious meals and early bedtime she instilled in me.
The cortisol research is SO badly misquoted SO much of the time on this kind of thread. It's not that the facts that get quoted are inaccurate as such, but they are out of context and incomplete. It is true that elevated cortisol levels over extended periods in infancy has been linked with later mental health problems, but when this is quoted by 'gentle parenting' types there is never any definition of 1) what age in infancy (the neurobiology of babies changes rapidly and what may be appropriate at 3 months is different to what may be appropriate at 9 months) and 2) what constitutes 'extended exposure'.
For example, the HPA axis (the neurochemical stress response) doesn't settle into its adult circadian rhythm until 3-6 months old, producing more cortisol in the morning (to wake us up) and less at night (so we can sleep). From this we can deduce that trying to put a four-week-old baby into our circadian rhythm may be a waste of time, as its brain simply isn't wired for it yet. However from a neurochemical point of view a 1-year-old absolutely can be on the same rhythm as an adult. Talking in a vague, general way about 'babies' implies that a 1-year-old and 1-month-old have the same needs and neurochemistry, which is patent nonsense.
Equally, the 'extended exposure' concept has generally been studied in situations where there is severe neglect, for example parental substance abuse, violence or abandonment. There is plenty of evidence that this kind of exposure to stress causes long-term damage, and I see this on a regular basis in my clinical work. However there is also plenty of evidence that brief exposure to stress, in a context where recovery can be aided by a trusted, loving parent, is actually beneficial as it teaches resilience. So the recurring theme about 'cortisol rising to dangerous levels' misses a crucial nuance: cortisol is not inherently toxic or dangerous - in fact it's a crucial component in enabling us to respond to our environments. What is dangerous to a baby's development is being in an environment where misattunement is persistent, care is unreliable, frightened or frightening, or neglect is pervasive over the months and years.
Lots of people on this thread have described sleep training their babies. None of those descriptions sounds like pervasive neglect to me - brief exposure to stress, maybe, but not pervasive neglect. Briefly elevated cortisol levels (5 minutes a few times over a couple of days) will have a completely negligible effect on a baby's development. So we should all calm down a bit.
PS: I have no axe to grind in this, as I don't have DC yet and don't have very strong views on how I will/won't sleep train them when I do. But I have some knowledge of the research field and get a bit fed up with perfectly valid studies being quoted partially or out of context.
Yes, that cringeworthy post made me laugh too but its not really funny. I'd just have to defriend someone who shared anything as mawkish as that on facebook.
Believe you me my dc were exposed to more cortisol pre cc than during it.
Pre they screamed constantly whatever I did.We were stressed and I was sobbing and dreaded every whimper.I ended up one night throwing pillows found the room in frustration.I was a zombie during the day and rarely smiled as too knackered.They must have inhaled cortisol 24/7 and smelled the stress.
3 days after.
Smiling,happy contented babies(twins) who rarely cried and smiling happy mummy who finally got to start enjoying being a mum.
There is no way I'd choose a stress filled sleep deprived environment to raise babies ever again.
TOSN that just about sums it up!!
Anyone who's ever been driving and not able to stop or turn round with a grouchy tired baby, when you actually can't pick them up, has seen that babies can sometimes squawk a bit before going off to sleep and no harm's done.
Likewise, anyone ever raced up the stairs on hearing an isolated cry, and then found a sleeping baby when they get there?
A baby who did a bit of skriking and then slept through is a bright-eyed bushy-tailed delight in the morning (well, relatively) - as are its parents. (and I love how the emotional manipulation in that post is targetted exclusively at 'Mommy'!). A baby who was picked up and walked around up and down, and never really got beyond a fitful doze all night, is a whingey misery in the morning - as are its parents.

Paternalistic goods to improve income distribution: a political economy approach
In this article we show that when the provision of paternalistic goods is entwined with income distribution, the political decision process may prevent welfare maximisation. We model the decision process from a political economy perspective by assuming that the quantity of a paternalistic good to be produced, its regional distribution, and the equalisation grant are the result of a utilitarian bargaining process between a (relatively) rich Region and a poor one. Two cases are considered: a unitary and a federal State. The solution for a unitary State shows that First Best can be achieved only if the two Regions have the same bargaining power. In this case the level of income distribution is negatively correlated with the power of the rich Region. For a federal State we show that the result of the bargaining process always implies underprovision of the paternalistic good. Our model may explain the observed cross-national differences in the redistributive power of public policies.

Ask around any construction site: What's the best — or worst — spot to be when the temperature climbs past 90 degrees?
You may start to notice a common sentiment.
"It all sucks when it's this hot," said Jeff Cummings, among the many Clark County workers toiling under 90-plus temperatures Friday afternoon.
Cummings works on the St. Johns Boulevard/state Highway 500 project site, where crews are rebuilding the junction into a freeway-style interchange. He's not alone — for construction crews, roofers, agricultural workers and others, braving the elements is simply part of the job. Each endured a heat wave that Friday delivered its sixth straight day above 90 degrees in Vancouver — a streak that included a 100-degree day on Thursday.
For outdoor workers, the key to withstanding the heat is drinking water. Lots of water. Several workers on the St. Johns project said they'll easily put away a gallon in a day with conditions like this week's. And they're mindful of more than just their own health. Working under high temperatures can lead to illnesses like heat stroke and heat exhaustion, according to health officials, sometimes quickly.
"You do your best to stay hydrated, and watch out for your partner," said Jesse Marks, a carpenter on the St. Johns project. Nearby, fellow carpenter Tom Richards chimed in.
"If they start acting goofy, that's a red light for me," Richards said, laughing.
Marks and Richards both spent Friday working on the wooden skeleton for the west barrier of the new St. Johns bridge over Highway 500. By the end of next month, drivers should be able to use all four ramps connecting the two thoroughfares, according to lead project inspector Brad Clark. The Washington State Department of Transportation expects to have the $48 million project done next year.
This month's run of hot weather has changed how crews have tackled the job, Clark said. Shifts have started earlier in the morning during recent weeks, so crews are done before the worst heat of the day hits in late afternoon. They've also poured concrete earlier and covered it to keep it from setting too quickly, Clark said.
On Friday, no one at St. Johns endured the worst job of all, according to Clark. That would be laying down asphalt pavement, which is about 250 to 300 degrees when it's first applied, he said.
Workers are keenly aware of the fire danger that comes with hot, dry weather on any project. Just this week, an investigation into a massive central Washington wildfire centered on the construction site where it's believed to have sparked. At St. Johns, a water truck constantly sprays the site to keep dust down and reduce the risk of fire. That's particularly important this week, Clark said.
"By the time he makes a trip around the site," Clark said, "It's back to being dry again."
Friday's temperature topped out at 98 degrees in Vancouver, according to the National Weather Service. Expect a cool-down this weekend, before high temperatures settle into the 70s by next week.

Adaptive strategies of on-farm water management under water supply constraints in south-eastern Spain
The study analyses the effect of irrigation water constraints on-farm management in the Campo de Cartagena Irrigation District (south-eastern Spain), which is characterised by a semi-arid climate with a marked structural water deficit. The methodology applied was the comparative assessment of management indicators during two periods with very differing water availability. A set of performance indicators was selected and calculated to assess the effects on on-farm water management and productivity.

Welcome OneTravel Girl;
I started strickly with your program over 2 years ago and therefore suffered thru the various changes. http://www.ecomcity.comm/travel.htm has had to move you from #1 to an also ran position due to faulty reporting, non working banners and links ..but your still there. Are you working on new creatives? Since I showcase merchants only after they send out y first check, your program probably isn't getting it's just deserts.

Hi there!
Yes!! We have gotten some decent people working on a LOT of new and exciting banners, etc. Some are posted in our PRC already, and others are on "their way"!
I don't know if you are aware of all the NEW things at OT...like now we have the largest inventory of Cruise and Vacation Pkgs...OVER One MILLION!! One of my Partners JUST made $600.00 for ONE sale! What was it? Sold a Cancun Vacation package (total sale: $3,467.40) Not too bad for ONE sale. SO...the NEW Cruise and Vacation Pkgs are DEFINITELY new and COOL! They even look cool!
If you are looking for ANY specific banners,etc...and can not locate them in our Partner Center, please let me know, and I will take a look for you!
I know that the "word on the street" was we were a little "behind" the times...BUT it's time to take another "look-see"! I think you'll like it!!
January 30th, 2002, 07:36 PM #8
1) May I suggest that the FP get reviewed (didn't go farther) for "effectiveness"? (Rule #1 = No scrollbars ... etc)
2) I have a great niche in travel that can be billions annually and can easily may I PM you with the doms (they say the business model) to see if we can work together developing them?

Hi Sara!
First I have to say I went and looked at your site and was surprized to see a vacation special for Lake Conroe, Texas! he he, too funny. I live very near there and would not have imagined it as a travel destination. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Another thing I noticed was the talk to a live person link on the bottom of the article. If you are an affiliate, would this get tracked and credit given for a sale?
Now, on to what I would like. I have a section about Ireland on my site. I would love to have a place where they could go to a page all about travel in Ireland, with choices on when to go, where to stay, package deals etc...
Haven't found one yet, but I keep hoping! Maybe you could consider something like that.
Welcome to the boards!!

Charter fight group rates coupled with an affordable cruise ship special would make a get affiliate coded ( banner & text) product page. Make a pull down box for major cities served by a national Airline and limit the group to the first 200 to signup for that city...reach 200 and process the order with dates. If this can't be done make it a trip to Vegas or New Orleans.
Larger companies, church or civic groups with web sites can signup as affiliates and get their own group rate if they cccan guarantee 200 people.

I have a site that has put some real solid numbers through priceline.com, travelocity.com, and a few other travel-related sites. I am also working on a project that could use a solid travel company with a good commission % payout on vacation packages.
MAy I PM you to discuss the details?

Hi seaslug...HECK anyone with THAT kind of cool name can PM me!!
Seriously, we have over one million cruise and Vacation Pkgs...that have been REALLY successful for our Partners!
Here are JUST two examples of partners who each sold vacation packages to Cancun. While both examples happen to highlight Cancun, a popular vacation destination, these outstanding commissions can be earned on any of our over One MILLION!! vacation and cruise packages. While we offer great low rates to your customers, your commissions are anything but low!
Partner 1: Sold a Cancun vacation package totaling $2,278. Commission: $300 earned as a result of ONE sale.
Partner 2: Sold a Cancun vacation package for $3467.40. Commission: $600 earned as a result of ONE sale.
These are ACTUAL commission amounts sent out to Partners! AND...the MORE you sell...the MORE you can earn!
SO...I look forward to hearing from you!

OH...and Vicki!!
sorry somehow I missed your posting to me!
JUST saw it now! Are you anywhere near Odessa TX.? That's where our tech office is located!
As for the Ireland info....just so you know, my mom was from Killorglin Ireland, and I spent some summers there when I was a kid! I am ALWAYS on them here to get MORE good Ireland "stuff"!!!
You could link to JUST certain hotels and info IN Ireland with us, by the way...if you're interested let me know!
ANDlastly, as for the phone tracking...we ONLY have that, because people were saying that they wanted to "talk" with someone when making such a large purchase. BUT, all reservations are actually done ONLINE! The caller is taken back online and "walked through" the sale to booking!
And, then you might say, well...what IF they just got off of an Affiliate's site, then called....and NOW went back to the OT site? Then what? WELL>..since we cookie INDEFINITELY, the affiliate's site that they were LAST on would still get the commission!!
SO..hope that helps...and once agin, I am really sorry that I missed your message to me!
Thanks! trvlgrl! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

The fine art of reading machine translations on World Streets. - for comment
The fine art of reading machine translations on World Streets.
To make the contents of World Streets more broadly accessible to friends and colleagues who work primarily in other language groups, we have linked the site to the increasingly well-performing Google machine translation engines that you will now find here. In each case all you have to do is click the language in which you wish to see the rough translation, and it will quickly appear on your monitor. But that, dear reader, is just the beginning of the story.
Almost anybody who loves their language will be offended to what is generated by machine translations in general, including those of the sort that we have programmed here and strongly recommend for use here on World Streets. (Offended to the point where, incidentally, I have noticed that the more that my reacting friends and correspondents are devoted to their language, the louder they squeal when confronted with the text that pops out of the machine translate button. And they make their views known in no uncertain terms to me as the source of this massacre. Thus is the nature of culture and the human comedy.).
So, should we give up on machine translations?
Okay, what pops up here may not magically solve all of our international communications problems in one swoop -- but before we give up too quickly on what just may be a valuable tool in an imperfect world, let's take a few minutes to reflect together on how this works. – a user-side view of machine translations for World Streets and for you. (For starters and just in case you have not followed the approach which Google, as our favored translating device, has taken in all this -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Translate is a not bad point of departure.)
So this is the point. What we can expect from these technologies at this point is not perfect text in our wonderful treasured language but a series of clues, gists and hints, in which almost every individual word appears to be boldly and without doubt in the destination language. Indeed, one of the problems is that as we run our eyes over the succession of words we have the impression that they are intended to convey, as they stand, the full and precious meaning of the original. (Which in fact they very often succeed in doing quite nicely, but that too is part of the problem. When it works well, it can lull us to expect that the machine is going to work just as well all of the time. But no no.)
So what's the answer?
In a phrase, we need to read differently if we are going to get best value out of these tools.
The operative analogy is that of listening to a conversation under difficult sound conditions. In such noise-filled environments individual words and phrases can disappear and often the context is not all that clear. But if we are really interested in following what is being said, we put our brains to work in a scanning mode and start to use our imagination and contextual knowledge to fill in the dots. As a result, we end up understanding what we work to understand – with all the necessary prudence on interpretation that this requires – and that is the reward for our efforts.
How does this voice scanning technique interpret to reading in this case?
Let me give you my best thoughts on this based on long personal experience of working with (and trying to work with )these tools, and not of course as an expert in translation, nor in reading, and certainly not as a neurologist.
My suggestion to you is that the first time you look at the translation you make sure that you have the full translated text before you, and then you run your eye on a diagonal over the page, scanning it to see if in a very brief space of time you can get a sense of what it seems to be all about. Now, while that is not a translation per se, it does provide the diligent flexible reader with a first set of clues as to what the original may be all about.
That already in my book is useful information. Of course it may not be enough for your purposes, but if you were interested to know more about a project or group in Finland or Korea, now you at least have a first set of hints. (Thank you Google.)
Then in a next step I would suggest that you read the translation side by side with the English-language original in front of you, you will in almost all cases be able to arrive at a pretty fair understanding of the thrust and main content of that particular article or announcement. It is of course not a substitute for a professional translation, but it can be extremely helpful for those who are ready to make an effort to use it with judgment.
So there you have it. The World Streets self-assigned language doctor recommends that you take and use this remedy when you need it, but make sure you read the notice on the bottle.
Eric Britton,
Editor and cautious (if often hilarious) daily user of the best of these technologies since 1993
PS So what's wrong with English for World Streets?
Actually working in English gives us a great start in reaching an international readership-- various statistics indicate that it is the first language of going on to four hundred million people, and if you include second language speakers the number moves up to something on the order of half a billion. That is five hundred million good souls who can, one would hope, pick up and read daily articles in World Streets with ease. That is a big number.
But let's not exaggerate. On the other hand it leaves out on the order of six billion people organize their daily lives around other languages, and since it is our chosen mission to create and reinforce networks of people at various levels of government and participation in public life around the world in matters of sustainable transport, we would be remiss in our function if we neglected this important fact. With this in mind, we have from the beginning of publication continuously brainstormed with anyone who cared to join us on the matter of how to get the contents of World Streets, and with it the leading edge of worldwide developments and thinking in the field of sustainable transportation, into the hands of the people who are working in countries in cities around the world where working language is other than English.
We asked some of our readers working from other language background to comment on these translations, and if you click here you will be able to see what they have to say - http://newmobilityagenda.blogspot.com/2009/02/translating-world-streets-into-other.html#comments

text: Hey Folks, I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to use the built-in tethering? Once you plug the Epic into a computer you can put it into tether mode, after that it is visible on the computer as a samsung modem, however I don't know how to configure it past there. If anyone has an answer it would help out not only myself, but other Epic owners who don't feel like paying PDANet for a built in feature. Thanks, Adrift I will move this into support once it gets some informative answers.

Svensk version
62. International Short Film Festival Oberhausen 2016
Filmform presents the programme Filmform News with a selection of new works in distribution.
Sunday 8th May 2016 10:30 PM at Cinema Sunset, Lichtburg Filmpalast Oberhausen
General Rehearsal for Suicide
Åke Karlung
3 min, 1964, 16mm to DCP, sound, colour
The film was an attack on the advancing pop culture and the art establishment. A musician cuts his leg with a saw at a happening at Moderna Museet in Stockholm and is likened to a victim of the contemporary art world. This film has been digitally restored by the Swedish Film Institute.
Last Days of Leningrad
Maria Zennström
28 min, 2016, 35mm to DCP, sound, colour, Russian and Swedish with English subtitles
A film about the poor intelligentsia, shot in a cramped flat in a city that was called Leningrad in 1989. Today, the people and the city where the film was shot no longer exist. The film becomes a time capsule.
We the Others
Maja Borg8 min, 2014, super 8 to DCP, sound, colour, English
We the Others is a short cinematic poem about the value of physical diversity. From ancient philosophy to modern projections of a high tech future, there seems to be a question that we need to debate over and over: what is human value?
Reading Glass
Malin Pettersson Öberg15 min, 2015, DCP, sound, colour, Swedish with English subtitles
In a time of disappearing industries and a society in transformation, Reading Glass reflects on the significance of glass for Swedish culture and modern society, through one slow and sideway camera movement in Scandinavia's largest art glass collection.
Happy Days
Daniel Westlund3 min, 2015, DCP, sound, colour
Auditorial chairs come to life in an orderly manner, in chaos and in a sleepy, vegetative slumber. The chairs appear to move on their own will and with different personalities. Sometimes they act as victims of circumstances, in free fall and as if thrown.
M-E: A Video Selfie
Emie // Eva-Marie Elg14 min, 2015, DCP, sound, colour, English and Swedish with English Subtitles
The artist turns the camera on herself in a quest to explore historically feminine traditions from a film historic and psychological perspective. How will professional strangers such as psychics, psychologists and a dream interpreter define her?
Total duration 71 min
More information at www.kurzfilmtage.de. The programme is supported by the Swedish Arts Council.

WALLA WALLA — Walla Walla police have arrested an 18-year-old man in a fatal shooting last week of Julio Cesar Martinez.
Spokesman Tim Bennett told KONA that gang detectives took Benito Gomez, a member of a local rival gang, into custody Saturday morning. He was lodged into Walla Walla County Jail on investigation of first-degree murder and first-degree assault. Bennett said the assault charges stem from the other people who were in the area at the time the shots were fired.
Police say 20-year-old Martinez was walking in an alley with a friend last Tuesday night when they were confronted by rival gang members. Martinez was shot twice and died at a hospital.

Paris-Venice-Cinq Terre-Rome-Paris Itinerary
My wife and I are planning a 2 week trip to Paris and Italy during the last week of September.We would appreciate if you could suggest an itinerary and mean of transportation within Italy. Here is our tentative travel plan
Report Abuse
I would not split your days in Paris. I would fly from Paris to Venice on arrival day and have all 5 of your Paris days together.
Report Abuse
If you can get the extra 2 days, I would combine it and your three CT days into a 5-day stay at Naples and the Amalfi coast. Having been to both, I found the AC had much more to offer than CT. However, three days will barely be enough for Rome.
Getting to CT from Venice is going to require train changes. See routes at trenitalia website.
Report Abuse
Have you already purchased plane tickets? If not, fly home from Rome instead of Paris (click multi-city on airline website). Even if its more expensive, you are saving the cost and the hassle of flying back to Paris. But if you can't do that, then I agree with the advice above to put all your Paris time at the end. The day you arrive after the long flight from Houston, you will be exhausted. May as well use that day to continue traveling on to Venice (and you are already at the airport anyway).
Also, be sure to account for travel time each time you change location. For example, if your first day in Venice is the day you arrive from Paris, you don't really have three days there... probably 2 days and part of an afternoon. Likewise for your other destinations.
Report Abuse
Very much agree that going back to Paris is hugely wasteful. You wouldn't go catch a plane from Houston in Omaha NE, would you? Same distance! Use the MultiCity feature to book the flight in the "open-jaw" manner, Houston-Paris and Rome-Houston. Often costs no more than a straight point-to-point return, and even if it costs a bit more, compare that to the expense (and time) it takes to get back to Paris...
Report Abuse
3-Travel from Venice to Cinq Terre (3 days) :
What is the best way to go from Venice to Cinq Terre?>
not direct but there are a few trains Venice toi La Spezia I think but the faster route and one with zillions of trains would go via Milan and Genoa - for train schedules I always use the Wunderbar German Railways official site - it has train schedules for all of Europe and for me at least is easier to use than www.trenitalia.com - a good way to access www.bahn.de's English schedule section is to go to the home page of www.budgeteuropetravel.com and click on the link that says something like "Best Online European Train Schedule" - this brings you to the English page of www.bahn.de where you put in the From: Venice Santa Lucia (S L) to any one the 5 Land towns you want - they all have rail service. I mention this home page link because it also give several useful tips to fully use the fangtastic www.bahn.de site. If you train is too far in the future just put in a dummy date that is on as there should be very little difference in trains schedules on that route.
Report Abuse
You are giving the Cinque Terre the same three days that you are giving to some of the greatest cities in the world. I am going to risk speaking strongly and tell you that this is a bit skewed.
I have been to the CT exactly once for two nights, and can't imagine ever going back. I've been in the very very near vicinity and not gone back. It just isn't of the caliber of Venice, Rome, or as mentioned above, the Amalfi Coast.
If you can take the time, I would agree that 5 days in the south is a more exciting plan than taking 3 days for the CT.
I'm also waiting to hear if you have your air tickets. If not, the open jaws suggestion is a very good one. Or if you have to fly home from Paris, you could do Paris > fly Venice > train Rome > train Naples and Amalfi Coast > fly from Naples back to Paris.
I'm not even fond of Naples, but it is more exciting than the CT and is the gateway to a lot of spectacular scenery.
But no matter your plan, I still wouldn't split up my Paris time. Get it all at the beginning or end of your trip.
Report Abuse
Just out of curiosity, I checked airfares on skyscanner.net. Naples to Paris is outrageous; Rome to Paris is expensive; Venice to Paris has the most flights and is the most reasonable.
Kuwait Airlines (!) has a cheap direct flight from CDG to Rome. You could do Rome, Naples, then Venice then Paris.
This would appear to be the most economical route.
Can you tell I'm bored?
Report Abuse
Thank you all.
I will spend some time to digest all of your practical and excellent suggestions. Very much appreciated.
Report Abuse
there are overnight trains rolling between Paris and Rome too - save time and money on a hotel - flying inevitably takes a half day - going by night thus saves sightseeing time. www.thello.com is the site for those trains - some dandy deals if book far in advance - from around 60 euros in a multiple-person compartment.
Report Abuse
I disagree with others abut Cinque Terre. We hiked the old Roman Road, and it was an amazing sight. The five small cities were beautiful, the views from the trail spectacular. I'll always remember it. Most of your other destinations are larger cities. This will give you a nice change from that. Might I suggest starting in Monterosso, staying at Hotel Porto Roca http://www.portoroca.it/ high on a cliff overlooking the sea. They have half or full board, which was very good when we were there.
Start hiking the trail from the hotel, as this is the most difficult part, and you will go from difficult to easy as you hike. Stop in the cities to rest and refresh. At any of the cities you can hop a train or ferry to any of the other cities.
Other than that, I do agree... don't split Paris up. Plus, with five days there, you could find a great apartment to rent on VRBO.com, Flipkey, or airbnb an be able to spread out and do a little of your own cooking with local ingredients from the many outdoor markets. We've never had bad luck with that.
Have fun!
Report Abuse
But for folks not into or capable of hiking what is there to do the these 5 small heavily touristed villages? Hiking yes opens a myriad of possibilities for many enjyable days.
Report Abuse
Taking the ferry and seeing the villages from the water---do not forget your camera.

Fundamentalist Galactica
December 10th, 2003 | Published in Uncategorized
Continuing the post-Galactica web-crawl is this interview between Ron Moore, who wrote the Sci-Fi remake, and the maintainers of Cylon.org, a Galactica fan site.
Moore's clearly a smart enough guy, and his defense of decisions he made to change things around is solid enough. Solid in the same way Peter Jackson's defense of what he had to do to Faramir in the "Lord of the Rings" films is, anyhow: You might not agree, but there's some reasoning involved that's, well, reasonable.
Moore's obvious intelligence, though, earns him no break from the interrogators, who seem to be irritated about everything from Starbuck being turned into a woman to the presence of names and callsigns on the fuselages of the Vipers.
The truly deep question comes from a latecomer to the interview, who's dying to know:
CA Chat: Did you retain the "frak" and "felgercarb" from the original series?
Ron Moore: Frak is in there big time. I tried but I just couldn't make the felgercarb work.

DAYTON – Dayton Town Council set a work study date to discuss the 2013-2014 budget at its regular meeting Wednesday. The council will meet at 7 p.m. April 30 at Town Hall to examine preliminary figures and determine project priorities for the upcoming budget year. Members of the public are invited to attend.
Council members appointed Councilman Bob Alley as delegate to the Wyoming Association of Municipalities convention in June in Riverton. Alley will represent area towns along with Mayor Dave Kinskey at the convention. Mayor Bob Wood was appointed alternate delegate.
The Wyoming Association of Municipalities advocates state and federal legislation beneficial to municipalities, opposes detrimental legislation, builds leadership in municipalities through education and facilitates cooperative programs for municipalities, according to its website.
Dayton Town Council heard from three county service organizations for the remainder of the meeting.
Carmen Rideout, executive director for the Sheridan Senior Center, provided an update on services in Dayton. From October 2012 through April 2013, the Senior Center provided in-home respite care for three Dayton families, completed an average of 42 rides per month between Dayton and Sheridan, and served 2,300 meals to Dayton seniors between meal delivery and meals at the Dayton Community Center.
"We're definitely out here," Rideout said. "We appreciate so much your support in the past and do not take it for granted."
Bonnie Young, executive director of the Advocacy and Resource Center, said the center served 367 county residents in 2012, including 43 males and 37 children. She did not have specific numbers for Dayton but said Dayton residents have utilized the center. Young also reported the center plans to offer a workshop at the Tongue River Community Center about working with and caring for abused children.
Carrie Rogaczewski, director of the Sheridan County Conservation District, told the council that funds appropriated by Dayton last year will be used for a Tongue River monitoring program to begin May 1. The conservation district also received a grant to conduct river channel survey assessments in Tongue River Canyon.
"It's very important to the community for us to support those social services," Wood said. "They help out Dayton a lot."

Elisabeth Zguta . . . I Jumped! Into Writing
Do you plan your scenes, or just write without the internal editor turned on?
I Just finished the April Camp NaNoWriMo, which is an exercise in writing fluently, and without the internal editor to stop the writing flow. I was able to make my goal, but now I have to go back and edit. Of course, any first draft needs editing.
After a month's time, I started looking back at the beginning of my story – I opened up a dialogue with a critique group, and it was agreed – IT NEEDED A LOT OF WORK!
So the question remains – was it worth the effort – I humbly say YES.
I know the work I produced needs a lot of rework, but in reality any first draft does. Now I have a starting point, I have an idea on paper and something to work with – and just like…

"Beautifully written, utterly felt, it will enrich all who read it."—Anna Quindlen
There seems to be a notion afoot that the memoir has overstayed its welcome, that there is something inherently tacky about the parade of seminobodies exhibiting their stumps of addiction or abuse...I hope we can always celebrate a writer who, trying to make intelligent sense of life's confusions, gives us a memoir that is witty, self-aware and peopled with strong characters. That's the case with Pull Me Up, by Dan Barry.Phillip Lopate

"A Strong Europe – A Bright Future for Germany" was the title of Draghi's speech today at the Economic Council of Germany.
Draghi said "the overall economic outlook still warrants an accommodative stance." He signified recovery later this year: "We expect that monetary stimulus and improvements in financial markets will support a recovery later in the year."
Today's speech from Draghi came as a surprise. Forex Factory said the event was added "to calendar 115 minutes before release time".
OMT is "more essential now"
Possibly referring to Tapering and the uncertainty in the Federal Reserve, Draghi makes it clear that the OMT is "more essential now" more than ever.
"Indeed, I would say that OMT is even more essential now as we see potential changes in the monetary policy stance with associated uncertainty in other jurisdictions of the integrated global economy," said Mr. Draghi.
The OMT (Outright Monetary Transactions) in basic terms is: the ECB's system of providing indirect stimulus without significantly increasing the money supply like the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing efforts.
Draghi will be the European Central Bank President until November of 2019.
The Euro popped a little bit in result of today's news. It's likely that the Euro will be supplied some strength from Draghi's statement today.

IT had been 840 days since Ricky Stuart last controlled an NRL team. But when he took charge of Parramatta for the very first time yesterday, it appeared little had changed.
Wearing a blue and gold polo shirt, Stuart ordered the reigning wooden spooners to Parramatta Stadium for a 9am start - five months before they will boot another ball in anger.
Until the grand final on the last day of this month they will train four days a week to give the new boss an idea of his players' agility, fitness and ball skills ahead of the 2013 pre-season.
Stuart wasted little time letting the players - including stars Jarryd Hayne, Chris Sandow and Tim Mannah - know who was in charge as he took centre stage in a field session at the rear of the venue.
After a meeting that also featured Eels CEO Bob Bentley and chairman Roy Spagnolo, the team completed a 45-minute attacking and defensive drill under Stuart's watch.
The simple defensive session - up-and-down runs, side-to-side lateral movements - suggests Stuart could be on the verge of breaking down the team's entire structure and starting from the basics.
Since being appointed, five rounds before the end of competition, he's watched every minute of Parramatta's games.
Furthermore, he attended all but one - against the Titans on the Gold Coast.
The Eels can also expect a significant shake-up to their coaching staff, with caretaker Brad Arthur already on the lookout for a new job after Stuart decided to hire his own assistant staff.
Melbourne's Dean Pay has already been appointed, while Manly assistant Matt Parish is strongly favoured to clinch the other assistant role.
Sharks strength and conditioning coach Trent Elkin is also believed to have accepted an offer to join Parramatta, but it's understood long-time Eels trainer Craig Catterick will continue.
Originally published as Look who blew in at Eels training
