not enough cooking time
I made halved the recipe and baked in my toaster oven. I wouldn't say my tenders were any larger than the standard size but after 10-11 minutes per side in a pre-heated toaster oven, they were still a little icky-sticky inside (I was about to slice up and serve to my kids - they aren't "dippers"). Popped them back in for another 5-7 minutes to make sure they were done enough. Agree with previous posters that they don't look anything like the picture -- I think you need to flip more than once during the cooking process to get an even golden glow.

*disclaimer: there will be typos in this post. I've shut down my editing brain for now*
Ranking the Worst to the Very Best . . .
Seasons of The Vampire Diaries
7. The Season Elena Goes to College & Weird Things Happen (SEASON FIVE): We can also call this the season of the (snooze-fest) travelers. The season of the best boy-girl friendship coming to an end (RIP Caroline & Stefan - the writers just had to make them start a freaking romance.) Also the season where we meet Enzo, Katherine is human, and there's a mini mystery on Campus that's not as shocking as I hoped.
This season is more like a reboot. Elena goes to college, starting anew.
But when did new things mean dropping all the cool aspects of the previous seasons? Katherine human? It's just plain sad. And lacks chaos. Jeremy seeing a ghostly Bonnie? He was a damn hunter of all hunters and he's relegated to keeping a secret that we all know will eventually come out. The travelers? They might as well be the least threatening and interesting foe since...well, since ever.
And Silas.
WTF. Silas. His entire arc amounted to some of the most anti-climactic moments I've ever witnessed in TV history. And I watch entirely too much TV.
Worst season, by far. To put this in perspective: you can even skip season 5 and still understand season 6. And it's not The Vampire Diaries entire fault this season was so...lackluster. This is the year The Originals began, and TVD lost half its cast, subsequently missing a chunk of its soul without the original family to spice things up. They struggle to reignite the spark was real.
- Biggest Tease: the writers dangling Klaus x Caroline in front of us for one solid episode (remember them hooking up against the tree?), only to basically erase their history for good by never mentioning them. So mean.
6. The Season Elena Leaves & Caroline Tries to Fill the Void (SEASON SEVEN): This is the most current season, still ongoing, so time can only tell if it'll be better than it is. Elena was never my favorite character, but losing her has lost the focus of the show. I love Caroline. Caroline, you'd think, would fill the void easily. But putting Caroline in this position has somehow...changed her character. She's more grating, and her romance with Stefan is still as frustrating as ever.
Not to mention, the new cast of side characters bombards the viewers all at once.
I was having to mentally check off who everyone was while trying to understand their personalities. I've still struggled to connect to them or care about their fate. And it was confusing as hell. Because season six, we were introduced to some great side characters but they were strangely let go for season seven.
- Biggest Sadness: you can count on your hand the number of original actors still left, and even then, how many truly want to be there?
5. The Season that Started the Love Triangle of all Love Triangles (SEASON ONE): I'm not really a nostalgic sap about first seasons unless it's Supernatural (the ultimate exception). I tend to believe first seasons of great shows are the weakest ones. Kind of like book series. The first season really sets up the epic-ness of seasons to come by introducing us to Mystic Falls, Elena, and the two vampire brothers who have a serious infatuation with her that spans decades worth of time.
Damon is dark.
He uses Caroline like a personal blood bag. He goes after people in a way that gets dropped in subsequent seasons. Like...he was truly evil. Stefan, unfortunately, is a bit boring and kinda stalker-ish, but thankfully his character grows further down the road. What makes this season better than the last two: the whole town is impacted by Damon's sudden appearance. The woes begin and the tears don't stop. Just remember Jeremy. Poor Jeremy. And you'll wish Damon left some of the townspeople alone.
Positive: Lexi episodes! She has spunk that lit up the screen. Another plus, Alaric is introduced in season one, and I very much missed him in season five.
- Biggest Why-Oh-Why: Bonnie has such a bland storyline in season one. It was hard to love her character, and it was so clear that she could've been as dynamic as Caroline. It took many seasons before Bonnie got the spotlight she deserved. This just wasn't one of them.
And they're not alone. In comes some of the best side characters in a long time. And the best villain / big bad since Klaus.
Kai is crazy, delusional, power-hungry and pretty much a psychopath. Witches. Lore involving twins. Pancakes. 90s theme. A new best Boy-Girl friendship that has not been turned into a romance (Bonnie & Damon). Elena & Damon solidly together. From beginning to end this was a smart season of television, and even though we said goodbye to Elena, it felt like saying hello again to a show I dearly loved.
- Biggest OMG: that (bloody) wedding. I'll never be able to erase that scene from my mind.
3. The Season of Intense Love for Tyler x Caroline (SEASON TWO): this could easily be called the season that Katherine becomes a fan favorite. She dominated this season by being quick-witted, sassy and badass compared to Elena's constant moral compass. Though Tyler's painful transformations into a werewolf and his undeniable chemistry with Caroline was the best entertainment for those who don't prefer the never-ending love triangle between Elena, Stefan, and Damon.
This is the height of the werewolf arcs. The height of Tyler and his overall storylines. Since he's not in the love triangle, it always feels like his character can die. At any moment. True tension. Real risks. And it only gets better from here.
- Biggest Devastation: Jeremy has endured more loss than humanly possible. Poor Jeremy.
2. The Season of Super Emotional Vampire Elena & Super Sexy Klaroline (SEASON FOUR): First off, Jeremy. I don't curse often, but I say this with passion: Jeremy has been shit on for so long. I never expected him to get a good arc, and then season four actually utilizes him without devastating his character by enduring yet another death of a loved one. (Seriously, everyone he loves eventually dies.) He is turning into a hunter. A badass hunter. A hunter that is linked to major conflicts of the whole season-arc.
Cool, right? This season is even better with some of the most memorable episodes -- that Christmas episode everyone, do you remember the scene where Klaus slaughters all of his hybrids and then goes and kills Tyler's mother? All soundtracked to a freaking Christmas song!
Hybrids. A creepy church. The beginning of a romance between Klaus & Caroline which sounds oh-so-wrong but their chemistry is palpable. (Too bad the writers like to tease and then take away.)
While lots of people had reservations about a vampire Elena, the change-up was refreshing, and it was actually interesting to see Damon & Stefan's differences on how to help her.
It ends with graduation and actually feels like the series finale.
- Biggest Sob Fest: Damon talks to Alaric's grave in one of the best monologues ever. It summed up their friendship, but also how Damon perceives himself amid this cast of young characters. When he's not young at all. To top it off, Alaric is listening in at the very end, as a ghost, and responds. Even though Damon can't hear him.
1. The Season The Originals Overtook Mystic Falls and Killed It (SEASON THREE): By far, the best season. Still in high school, season three is the series high. Klaus is truly evil. An evil that TVD hadn't seen up until this point. He feels not only unstoppable but a threat to everyone we love.
We see the Original family and the depths of every character -- including sidelined ones like Matt (the best episode listed below is Matt at his greatest). Even Stefan has emotional depth.
This is the season where I turned to people in my telecom classes, and I'd go, "The Vampire Diaries is the best show on television." Yep. I said that. Without flinching and with pride. And just so you know, my major -- telecommunications -- is really television production. So I was among lots of tv junkies. They thought I was crazy, but I believed everything I said. I still do.
This is an amazing season of television. Start to finish. You will laugh, cry, gasp, swoon, and even scream at the tv. This is when the internet was a flurry of TVD lovers. This is when Elena, Damon, and Stefan graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly scantily-clad beneath silky sheets. Suffice it to say, the world loved The Vampire Diaries, and it was on fire.
Best Episode of All Time: "The Reckoning" -- nothing will ever beat the time Klaus trapped everyone in the high school gym to die. I sum it up poorly, but even some of the creators have called this a series best.
Do you agree? What are your fav seasons? Sound off below!

"An elderley relative was admitted ..."
About: Leighton Hospital Leighton Hospital Crewe CW1 4QJ
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
An elderley relative was admitted after having a hypoglycemic episode. We were seen by a doctor approximately 2.5 hours after admission. She was given food, but nursing staff would not answer any questions as to whether she could/should eat it. Nurses generally seemed pleasant, yet confused and disorganised- preferring to give fob-off answers. Response times to bedpan requests and other practicalities were, however, generally good. The doctor we were seen by was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly.
What could be improved
The hospital could be cleaner. Many areas of the facility smell noticably unpleasant. There also seems to be a shortage of professionals, and lack of co-operation between departments. The car parking charges are rediculously high. I have had dealings with Leighton before, and the hospital has certainly improved somewhat over the past few years, although much work still needs to be done to bring it up to the standard of other local facilities.
Response from Leighton Hospital 8 years ago
Thank you for letting us have your positive comments regarding your admissions to Leighton Hospital over the last few years.
The vision for Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is to be a world class provider. We are therefore delighted to hear that you have had excellent care and treatment, and found all of our staff to be polite and helpful. I can assure you that these comments will be passed on to staff across the organisation.
I am sorry that you observed some patients to be struggling on occasions at mealtimes. I would like to reassure you that we are making improvements in this area.
In October 2008 we introduced a protected mealtimes policy across seven of our wards.
We want to ensure that our patients' mealtime is protected, making their nutritional intake the top priority for at least one hour per day. Research has shown that when food is served in the right kind of atmosphere, patient satisfaction increases, more food is eaten and patients benefit from improved nutrition.
We are therefore limiting the number of people who come onto wards for one hour per day, at specific times on certain wards. Medication, doctors' rounds, physiotherapy – they will all be done outside of the hour set aside for mealtimes. We want our patients to be able to enjoy their mealtimes without unnecessary interruption. As there will be fewer interruptions, staff have more time to help those patients who need assistance with their meal.
Patients on wards 1, 4, 19, 23 and the three orthopaedic wards will be encouraged to use the day room facilities for dining, rather than eating in bed or at the bedside. We want to make dining a more sociable experience, where patients can interact with one another, and to encourage patients, where appropriate, to get out of bed.
'Protected Mealtimes' ensures time is dedicated to just meals, therefore enabling staff to have more quality time with patients and help them during mealtimes. A number of our volunteers have also been specially trained to help with patient's mealtimes, particularly on Ward 4. We are always looking to train more volunteers with a view to the service being available on more wards.
Thank you once again for taking the time to let us have your comments. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Setting the Publish Date for Campaigns
Before you start setting your distributions it's important to plan when you want to your message to be published. The moment your message is published it will appear on your newsroom, be publicly available on the web, emailed to your newsroom followers and search engines will be notified of the new content.
When I launch my campaign
Publish your message and send optional distributions right after you launch your campaign in the Launch step. This means you will have to manually choose the right time set make all these things happen. Choose this option if you want your message to be published and distributed on a short notice, for example when you don't have time to carefully plan and just want to launch your campaign. Another use case would be when the best time to launch is still uncertain, for example right after something else has been announced or happened.
On a specific date
Schedule your message to be automatically published on a chosen date and time. In the period between the moment your launch your campaign and when it automatically gets published, your message will be available under embargo.
Under embargo
When your message is available under embargo it means that it is only available through a secret link. When you visit your message through this link there is a clear banner explaining your message is under embargo and that it will be published on the date you've chosen. This comes in handy if you'd like to give journalists time to work on their story or when you want to give certain contacts early access. Once your message gets published the secret link will simply redirect to the public link.
Distribution options
When you have chosen On a specific date as the publish date, you'll notice there will be two options on when to send your emails: When I launch my campaign and When my message gets published. Choosing the first option will send the emails directly after you launch your campaign, this means that contacts receiving these emails will be lead to your message under embargo. Choosing the latter option will automatically send the emails right after your message gets published.
Distributing after the publish date
After your message gets published it is still possible to send out distributions. Please note that they will be sent right after you set them. This comes in handy if you'd like to send a follow-up to contacts that opened your email with further information.
That's all for now, we'll update this article as Publish date evolves. Make sure to let us know if you run into any issues or if you think something is unclear: firstname.lastname@example.com!

I once went into the Louisiana Art & Science Museum in Baton Rouge to discover, much to my dismay, an entire exhibit on Egypt laced with descriptions typed in Papyrus typeface. First off, this is an ART and science museum, and the designer in me just died. Second, what is the obsession with Papyrus? A 2-point analysis:
1.) It's "edgy" (vomit). In thinking of the unstructured edges of the Papyrus letterforms, some (non-designers) think that the result is an artistic, "fancy" font. WRONG. Quite the opposite. Papyrus pigeonholes design into the realm of the overdone, tired, and just plain terrible.
2.) It needs to be put on everything as body text!!! Rebuttal: Poor legibility. Need I say more?
Please stick to the basics if discerning good type from bad type is not your strong suit. Baskerville and Garamond would appreciate it. Thank you, and happy Mardi Gras!
Although I'm pretty much
Although I'm pretty much with you, and would never use it myself, I was surprised a couple years back when I was at a zoo where they use it on all their signage, and it struck me as not being that bad. The letterspacing is really awful, though, which is the part I can't stand about Papyrus. That P is about a foot away from the "...apyrus."
I completely agree. I go to
I completely agree. I go to school in Savannah, GA. Over the last year I've counted at least nine or ten different places that use Papyrus on their signs. On one of the main roads in the historic district you can walk three quarters of a mile and pick out at least four separate businesses that use it. Everything from sushi restaurants to boutiques. Hideous.
I actually think Papyrus is
I actually think Papyrus is an elegant design. Classic, yet highly original calligraphic letterforms, with a treatment that invokes ink on actual papyrus ( a very rough surface I can attest). The only problem is usage. To be effective, such an original face needs to appear sparingly, not just in its application, but in the broader social context. That is, any use of papyrus in the world around you makes every other use a bad choice.
I just want to distinguish bad design (spacing aside) from bad usage.
Usage is all about context. Any designer who wants to use Papyrus as a display font at the end of the nineteenth Century, or the begging of the 20thC, should not be dissuaded by your thread.
Papyrus is actually quite
Papyrus is actually quite nice.
Your gripe is not with the typeface, but in how it's improperly used and overused.
I like Papyrus. I think that
I like Papyrus. I think that it is just fine.
Overused? Sure.
Not for every use? Well, what typeface is?
The P a in Papyrus in the sample above is probably that way because the program that made that sample graphic didn't support kerning.
Papyrus is not a horrible
Papyrus is not a horrible font to begin with, but its uses are what make me cringe every time I see it: history teachers trying to be "authentic" when teaching a lesson about Ancient Egypt, Rome, Native Americans, etc., small businesses such as spas, t-shirt stores, or galleries, and so many more. I cannot even begin to count the times I have seen the font.
Strangely, I see Papyrus used more on the West Coast than the East. A font overused in the East is Copperplate.

It works if I slide the keyboard out, but then goes back to portrait once I close the keyboard. Just tilting the phone (in Email, Messaging or Browser) no longer rotates the display. I've tried pulling the battery, but that didn't help. Is it possible the accelermometer is toast after one week?

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 15 finalists on Thursday night. Defensive end Charles Haley, who won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys, was named a finalist for the fifth time.
Haley recorded double-digit sacks in six seasons and was a two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler.
It was Haley's move to the Cowboys from the 49ers that shifted the balance of power in the NFC in the 1990s.
Dallas native wide receiver Tim Brown was also named a finalist for the fifth time. Brown, a nine-time Pro Bowler, ranks fifth in NFL history in all-purpose yards, sixth in receiving yards and fifth in catches. Brown played with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders and Tampa Bay.
The Class of 2014 will be announced Feb. 1 in New York.
The modern-era finalists are as follows: Morten Andersen, Jerome Bettis, Derrick Brooks, Brown, Edward DeBartolo, Tony Dungy, Kevin Greene, Haley, Marvin Harrison, Walter Jones, John Lynch, Andre Reed, Will Shields, Michael Strahan and Aeneas Williams.

Selby's brand new leisure centre has taken a step forward, with planning permission now granted for the development.
The new leisure centre will include two swimming pools, a gym, sauna and steam room. Outside, a refurbished all weather sports pitch will provide new opportunities for local sports clubs.
The new development is at the site of the former Abbey Leisure Centre, which suffered a devastating fire in February 2012. The Council has been working with its leisure services provider, WLCT, and national sports body Sport England to push ahead with proposals to re-develop the site. The Council is hopeful that Sport England will make a significant contribution towards the costs of the new centre and getting planning permission is an important milestone towards securing a grant. A final decision from Sport England on grant funding is expected next month.
Following the planning permission the next stage is to tender for the construction of the new building, from a short-list already drawn up. Subject to the contractors' responses to the tender invitation, work is expected to start on site in November and be complete by Christmas 2014.
Alongside the new leisure centre, the Council is also looking at the possibility of offering other leisure facilities at the same site, although these discussions are still at an early stage.
Deputy Leader of the Council, Cllr Gillian Ivey, said, "This has been an important step for our new leisure centre, which will deliver first class facilities for the district. The fire at the old Abbey Leisure site was obviously a huge blow, but it's also been an opportunity for us to create something brand new and really exciting at the site.
"With its range of facilities this new development will be a real draw for the area, supporting not only those using the new centre but also with a knock on benefit to local businesses too."
As part of the development of the plans, representatives from the Council recently set up a market stall in Selby to talk directly to people about what they would like to see from their new leisure centre.
Prior to the opening of the new facility, the Profile fitness Centre at Portholme Crescent remains open for business. This was opened in the immediate aftermath of the fire at the Abbey Leisure Centre, and offers a wide range of fitness facilities including a gym and fitness studio.

French President François Hollande flew to Mali yesterday to support French troops fighting Islamist rebels in the Sahel nation, and visited the famed ancient city of Timbuktu that was recaptured from al-Qaeda-allied fighters six days ago.
Hollande, accompanied by his ministers for defence, foreign affairs and development, was greeted by a group of dancers and singers at Timbuktu airport and then went on to visit the Grand Mosque in the Unesco World Heritage Site city.
"If I could have one wish, it would be that the French army stays in the Sahara, that they create a base here," said Moustapha Ben Essayati, one of the locals who showed up to greet the French delegation.

"I'm really scared that if they leave, the jihadists will come back. If France had not intervened in Konna, we would no longer be talking about Mali." Konna is the town captured by insurgents earlier this month, a move which triggered the French intervention.
Heavily-armed French soldiers in armoured vehicles and Malian troops yesterday ringed Timbuktu's ancient mosque, which is built from mud bricks and wooden beams. French and Malian flags fluttered from telephone poles.
Local people chanted "Vive La France" and praised Hollande for France's military intervention in its former West African colony, which after three weeks has pushed Islamist fighters occupying the north of the country into more remote desert and mountains.
"I'm so proud of François Hollande, we have got our old lives back," said Khalifa Cisse, the muezzin who calls the faithful to daily prayer at the mosque.
The international community has greeted the liberation of Timbuktu with relief, as the sharia-observing Islamist occupiers had smashed traditional ancient Sufi mausoleums in this seat of Islamic learning, calling them idolatrous. They had also destroyed up to 2000 of about 300,000 priceless ancient manuscripts held in the city. However, curators say the bulk of the scholarly texts are secure and safe.
During his one-day visit to Mali, which will also take him to the southern capital, Bamako, Hollande was expected to outline the next steps of the French military operation, which has so far retaken the main towns of the north from the rebels.
Hollande has said that the French operation – which has 3500 soldiers on Malian soil, backed by warplanes, helicopters and armoured vehicles – wants to hand over to a larger UN-backed African force which is still in the process of being deployed.
Sustained French airstrikes have forced fighters from the Islamist militant alliance that was occupying northern Mali to retreat into the remote Adrar des Ifoghas mountains near the Algerian border. The rebels there are also believed to be holding seven French hostages previously seized in the Sahel.
The United States and Europe are backing the UN-mandated Mali operation as a counterstrike against the threat of Islamist jihadists using Mali's Saharan north as a launch pad for international attacks.
The US and European governments are providing training, logistical and intelligence support to the French-led operation in Mali, but have ruled out sending ground troops.

Expanded Y's available to you….
Your Greater Lowell Family YMCA will allow you access to any YMCA facility in New England. Program registration will NOT be allowed at any YMCA other than your home YMCA. You are encouraged to check the YMCA that you intend to visit for schedules and or any restrictions that they may have.
My Y Is Every Y: Use Any Facility Y in New England
We are for healthy living and we want you to stay active and keep moving. We have now made sure there is a Y wherever you are! Your Y card now provides you free access to any facility in New England. Simply bring your facility/full privilege membership card and a photo ID with you, and you can check into any partner Y in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. You can then utilize their gym, pool, fitness, and other wellness facilities, just like any other member! We simply ask that you maintain a current membership at the Y you visit most frequently.
The Greater Lowell Family YMCA will not have any restrictions on the amount of visits from a New England YMCA visitor. However, we do have restrictions to aquatic classes. Your Home YMCA membership card along with picture ID is required for access. Please stop at the front desk and fill out a brief waiver and supply the above mentioned identification. Access will be denied without proper ID.
How will I know if there are any restrictions and what they are? Please visit the website of the Y you would like to visit. All Ys will have
updated information posted on their website.
Does this replace the "Always Welcome at the YMCA" (AWAY) program? No, the AWAY Program is still in existence and many Ys
across the country participate in this program. The AWAY Program may be helpful to those members who are travelling outside of New England or for members outside of New England visiting New England Ys.
What do I need to bring to verify that I am a current Y member? You must bring your current membership card and a photo ID (i.e. driver's license) in order to utilize another Y. By providing both of these items the staff at the visiting Y will be able to verify your current Y
membership. It is mandatory that you bring both of these items with you.
Do I need to sign anything? As a reciprocal member visiting another Y you will need to agree to abide by all of their rules and regulations.
You will likely be asked to sign a liability waiver and/or other document outlining that local Y's policies and procedures.
What if I want to sign up for a program at another YMCA? For purposes of program registration (i.e. swimming lessons, camp, child care etc.) you would be considered a non member and you would pay the non member rate. WATER FITNESS CLASSES ARE NOT INCLUDED FOR RECIPROCAL MEMBERS. There is a charge of $5.00 per senior or $10 per adult per class with your YMCA card.

text: I never really understood much about augmented reality until I downloaded this app. I really enjoyed it, however the updates have made it a bit too complicated for my liking. I also am not sure about the distance, I don't think it's very accurate most of the time. I think it's great to be able to find things close by easily and be pointed there. I also found the ability to find local homes for sale using the realty app really neat. In the end, this app is a great A.R. app, good idea and a wonderful experience. I just hope some of the updates make it a bit more like the original.

I work with tarot in order to help me link in to each individual caller. Through the energy of the tarot and the caller I can pass on important messages which are mainly futuristic. I also work with astrology which helps me to work with relationship compatibility and provide helpful information. The planetary transits are also useful for major upcoming events including love, career and spiritual aspects.
I have had many deep spiritual experiences and have been connected to the realms since I was a child. I was always hearing spirit but this is not something I chose to develop until I was in my early 20s. Since then I have been reading tarot, using astrology and linking in with people on a very intense spiritual level. I am passionate about helping people and like to also use my readings as a time for positive affirmation as I am a believer that we can train our minds to do absolutely anything!
I constantly see, hear and feel spirit and I am grateful for the gift which I have been given.
About two years ago I had a very strong vision that my friend's van was going to get broken into. I was unsure whether he had left his house but I felt a sudden urge to call him and advise him not to park his Van in the pub car park if he was going out that night. He had thousands of pounds worth of material in his van and this I did not know. After I had called him to tell him he thought I was mad! But decided to leave his van at a friend's house anyway and walk to the pub instead. After the evening had finished three – four cars had been broken into and vandalised and expensive accessories had been stolen! He thanked me after that and never doubted my psychic ability again!

A pilot program that involves vehicles communicating to one another on public roads will continue for six months beyond its targeted end date this summer, the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has disclosed. The US Department of Transportation is undertaking the pilot program using around 3,000 cars provided by eight major carmakers with an aim to prevent or minimize road crashes.
The cars under the pilot program are communicating on public roads through a WiFi-like technology called dedicated short range communication, or DSRC. The test is being done to determine whether the DSRC technology should be installed into production cars or if it's wiser to conduct more research.
In a statement, DOT said the extension of the program will not affect its plan to decide on light-duty cars by the end of 2013. A decision on heavy-duty vehicles would follow in 2014.
According to DOT, tests running through early 2014 will inform that decision, with a focus on motorcycles as well as on communications between vehicles and the infrastructure along roadways.
Carmakers Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen jointly developed the DSRC technology through a group called the Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership.
The eight carmakers have installed DSRC capabilities into test cars, equipping them with custom-designed alarms like flashing lights, sirens or vibrations in the seat or steering wheel – all aimed at providing a danger warning to drivers.
The dangers include a car speeding toward an intersection that a driver is about to cross or a car suddenly braking two cars ahead of a driver. These dangers -- including a fast-approaching car in a driver's blind spot – might not be detected by the radar and camera-based systems used in many of the new cars of today.

Also I am sorry to be so dumb - the properties of my drive has changed - was an Expansion Drive - now a local disk?\
Sorry that I may be asking basic questions - but one false alteration - I will stuff up my computer

I never did a check disk last night. I did note that the light was going on my External Hard Drive - perhaps it did it automatically.
Interesting reading and great tutorial.

I am terribly sorry. I just ended up having to force a close of my computer.
I have noted that the names have gone back to the same and that I may have been worried for nothing.
Not too sure why the change. I gather that next time I accidentally do a dismount from the removable USB External Hard Drive - such things may happen.
I will close this thread and I am terribly sorry for any inconvenience to you lovely people
|My System Specs
|22 Feb 2013
No inconvenience at all, but you worry too much.
If your PC is running OK with no blue screens and such, enjoy it. If you use a USB hard drive you should use the Safely Remove before you pull the plug. This assures the drive is not in use and won't lose data.

Thanks - at least I am a bit less stress free now.
If anything big really happens - like one of my other threads that I have open - I know where to go. I had this lap top for six months and had a BSOD - not my fault - the manufacturer admitted fault.
Is does concern me that I have to at times force a shut down to dismount my External Hard Drives as I am a stress artist and like to wait until it is safe to remove.
I am patient. I am in hospital.
Thanks for all your assistance. Really appreciated. The FOUND.000 can just stay there. Still not too sure about the security options - I changed it to everyone so I could see the contents as per a MS Communities post. Never again.

Windows 7 Pro - 64bit
To Britton; I'm not sure you understand the problem. The threadstarter has got this folder and asks what to do with it.
Telling how to avoid it in the future, doesn't help a lot in the case you have this problem.
So, your "solution" is that everybody in the world, always unplugs their USB correctly, and then there will be no more issue.
Really ?
I got an idea to solve the problem on how to get world peace : nobody argues or fight with somebody else.
The concept "issue" seems not be understood by you. Typically, people that understand nothing, are the ones that tend to not worry. IT seems like a bad sector to be in, in that case.

Hey Lukas123 my solutions are sound and worked, if you didn't notice, the thread IS marked Solved, eh?

Yeah bud, if everyone in the world does it correctly, no more problems, kapish?

Windows 7 Ultimate x86 and x64
The request to "scan and fix" is actually a non-technical request to run chkdsk. It happens when a drive is not shutdown properly (internal) or disconnected properly (external), leaving a checkbit set to "dirty". When Windows detects the dirty bit on reconnection of a drive, it asks to scan and fix to clean up any corrupted files or file fragments.
You can manually run chkdsk by opening a command prompt and typing "chkdsk c: /f " without the quotes. c: is the letter of the drive you want to check, the /f switch specifies fix errors found. Here's a more complete description.

Russian Requests Asylum, Cites Imprisonment Fears ({{commentsTotal}})
A Russian businessman, Vyacheslav Drezner, has requested asylum from Estonia, fearing that Russian authorities will jail him if he returns to his home country.
In 2010, ETV reported, Drezner had planned to conduct a survey in Russia's Kareila region asking residents if they wanted to reunite with Finland, to which parts of the territory had belonged to before the Winter War.
A Russian court told Drezner he could face a three-year sentence but let him off with a 100,000-ruble fine (2,500 euros), according to Drezner. But later the court imposed another fine, this time three times bigger, and Drezner said he feared imprisonment.
He received a Schengen visa and fled to Finland, where he lived for two years before Finnish authorities turned down his asylum request. Drezner is now living in Estonia, but is not permitted to work as he waits for a decision on his asylum application, which could take the Citizenship and Migration Bureau six months to process.
Drezner said he will not return to Russia in any event.
"They would put me in prison and I could expect a physical squaring of accounts," Drezner said.

Alternatively, choose a personalized wine cooler to keep the temperature just right. That special person in your life who loves to barbecue is sure to love branding his initials onto juicy steaks with a steak brand in a personalized apron. Consider a monogrammed drink cooler made from red cedar to keep drinks cold throughout the day.
For the new homeowners, a monogrammed doormat paired with an herb wreath is a lovely gift. The monogrammed doormat provides a distinctive look that proudly displays their initials, and the herb wreath gives the new homeowners plenty of herbs to use while cooking in their new kitchen. Both of these gifts are sure to be used throughout the year. For the bride and groom, monogramming a gift that is on their registry offers a personalized surprise they are sure to appreciate. To personalize a gift basket, adding a liner that is monogrammed with the recipient's name adds a personal touch they are sure to appreciate. Consider also adding a personalized scented candle.
For those going to someone's home for dinner soon, consider bringing a monogrammed cutting board or cheese board as a hostess gift. Pairing it with a collection of cheeses is not only thoughtful, you're both certain to enjoy your appetizer as you enjoy each other's company. If you need to buy a gift for someone at the office, but are unsure what they would like, a personalized picture frame is thoughtful yet still professional.
You deserve some spoiling, too. A luxurious robe that is monogrammed with your initials makes every day feel like you're staying at an exquisite resort. A personalized cashmere throw is the ideal blanket to snuggle into at the end of the day. Once you wrap it around yourself, you're certain to never want to let it go. Monogrammed 600-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and pillow cases not only look lovely, you're sure to sleep like a baby when you feel them against your skin. Monogrammed Turkish towels are not only absorbent, they feel sumptuous against your skin and provide a distinctive look to your bathroom
Personal embossing plates add an elegant and personal handcrafted touch to stationary, recipe cards, books and more. Tie an embossed card to those jams, jellies or delicious cookies you make to add a little extra something to your homemade gifts. Personal embossing plates are also fun for kids. Making treats together and getting to emboss their name on the gift card is sure to make them excited to give the treats out.
To create a dramatic look for your dining table for a dinner party, monogrammed chargers and glasses are both personalized and offer a polished look. A table runner that displays your initials adds a finishing touch. Monogrammed towels and soap add a personal touch to a guest bathroom and offer a polished look. Scented hand soaps and lotions made from olive oil and aloe vera smell great and leave hands feeling soft and pampered. Throw pillows that display your initials are both elegant and comfortable. At the end of the night, sit back and enjoy both the elegant look and the warm memories you created.

- Pacific West Region
- Santa Cruz, CA, USA
- $110/week

- Corps Member
Housing, meals on project days, 450 Hour Segal Education Award, weekly living stipend, transport to projects
American Conservation Experience - California
The Corps Network EAP Corps Member 2018
Summary: American Conservation Experience, a Non-Profit Conservation Corps based in Santa Cruz, California is currently hiring energetic, ambitious young adults to participate as AmeriCorps members in a 14-week outdoor skills training program introducing and preparing them for careers in resource management with ACE, with other conservation corps, or with public agencies such as the National Park Service, US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife, CA State Parks, or the Bureau of Land Management, among others.
ACE is currently seeking corps members for an AmeriCorps winter term in 2018:
Start Date: January 8th, 2018
End Date: April 14th, 2018
A 450-hour, 14-week commitment is required. *There may be opportunities available to continue with ACE after the 14-week period for the best performing crew members. Extensions to service are also dependent on available projects in the field and seasonal constraints.
Position Description: AmeriCorps Members in the ACE Conservation Corps program will spend just over 3 months learning techniques of conservation and land management while training on complex trail construction, forestry, and environmental restoration projects under the guidance of ACE's most highly skilled staff members. The goal of the position is to accomplish meaningful project work for a variety of public land management agencies while becoming proficient in advanced field techniques such as trail construction, ecological restoration, and dry stone masonry.
AmeriCorps Members will also gain leadership skills while implementing field safety principles in a team environment, interacting with various other Corps members currently serving or who join later in the season. Leadership, responsibility, and professionalism are encouraged and expected on off-days and at ACE housing. Each member is required to participate in one environmental volunteer event (Volunteer Service Project VSP), completing an additional 3 hours within the SLT/S. Cruz/So Cal community or a local community near a project site. The goal is to represent AmeriCorps, inspire service, and complete environmental volunteer service alongside local residents for the common good.
All ACE field work is physically demanding, often requiring stints in the backcountry and/or extended stays in the field. This position requires hiking, backpacking, camping and cooking outdoors while at front country and wilderness spike camps.
Location: Field projects will take place at various locations throughout California during the winter and spring of 2018. All participants must be flexible and willing to be assigned to a variety of locations and for multiple agencies, wherever community need is the highest. Project assignments vary in length from one week to two months so members will experience a range of opportunities during their three-month term. Long-term project assignments are necessary to extend advanced training to crew members, as well as invest your skills and commitment to see a project through to completion. Often ACE California has a significant focus in coastal regions and Southern California in the winter, where the climate is more favorable. Crew members' project schedule is comprised of multiple short-term 'hitches' on average 8-11 days long. Members return to the same project until completion, and/or to other projects in motion. Flexibility is necessary for locations during days-off, as you will spend days-off in ACE housing locations of Santa Cruz, Southern California, and/or potentially time-off on project sites themselves. ACE provides a schedule to active members clearly detailing your service days, days off, location, and more.
Financial Benefits:
A living stipend will be allotted in the amount of $110 per week. This is a gross amount before taxes, and the standard amount of state and federal income taxes/withholdings may be applied by law.
Upon successful completion of the program, members receive a Segal Education Award of $1,538.36 to be used to pay future tuition or existing federal student loans. More information regarding amount and eligibility, see the AmeriCorps website. Food is provided on project days, and housing (volunteer housing, tents, limited facilities) is included both on and off projects.
Qualifications: AmeriCorps members serving with ACE should have an established interest in conservation issues and should take joy in tackling challenging situations with a positive mindset. Applicants must be willing to undertake arduous physical work in all types of weather and terrain, and to participate as a team member dedicated to ACE's mission. ACE's Conservation Corps program is meant as a stepping stone to environmental careers and as a gateway to potential advancement within ACE, not only as an interesting and rewarding way to spend several weeks working in beautiful locations. Drug users, including users of marijuana, should not consider applying as ACE reserves the right to require drug testing and absolutely abhors the presence of drug users in our program. ACE intends to be a positive influence and intends to create safe and healthy environments for our members. The culture of alcohol and tobacco use is also restricted from ACE property and not supported by our mission of professionalism and personal development.
Other Requirements:
- Program is available to US Citizens and Green Card holders only.
- Members must have personal medical insurance for the duration of their participation with ACE.
- To prove eligibility and citizenship, members must be able to provide ORIGINALS of the following documents: 1) Social Security card, 2) Passport OR- Birth certificate, 3) Photo ID (passport, driver's license, military license, or student ID)
- ACE will provide tents to all Members (upon request) but all other camping items such as sturdy boots, sleeping bags, backpacks, and raingear must be provided by the applicant.
- Due to fire hazard conditions in ACE, smoking is not permitted in many of the sensitive worksites. Smoking is not allowed on ACE property.
- This position is a "covered position" that may entail episodic (temporary) access to vulnerable populations such as youth and the elderly. Selection for the position is contingent upon a review of all Criminal History results.
Age: AmeriCorps guidelines require 18-25 of age, however ACE as the host organization has the discretion to set age guidelines, and we do not have an upper age limit.
Training: Trainings may include a variety of technical project and outdoor skills such as retaining wall construction, rock step construction, rock drilling, splitting and shaping, setting up rigging systems, tread and switchback construction, installing water bars, check dams and other erosion control devices, restoration management, or GPS use. Certification-style training such as CPR/First Aid, Wilderness First Aid, and Leave No Trace Training may or may not be included, dependent on project scheduling, available classes, and training staff. Because of the short-term nature of a 450-hour term, certification training is often not available because of the focus on weekly field-based training that is constantly occurring on projects. Practical work and environmental training abound, we encourage the growth of our short-term corps members to continue and develop to eventually be present for future certifications that become available with an extended commitment. Membership spanning several seasons allows for additional training opportunities.

Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) is proud of a new bill extending federal control over education.
Obama's Education Secretary Arne Duncan is pushing a plan to create government boarding schools because, he claims, there are just certain children that government should "have" 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He also wants to turn all other schools into "community centers." In reality, he wants more time to indoctrinate American children, as his own remarks make clear.
Kids can't obtain soda or candy on Seattle school grounds, even with parental approval. But birth control devices are a different matter, as it has just been revealed that the city's schools are giving IUDs to girls as young as 11 — without parental consent.
Educrats: For the Sake of the Children, Take Away State Power Over EducationWritten by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
Education Post has issued a letter to Congress suggesting they protect the right of children by taking away power from the states.
The Common Core English standards have replaced classic literature with government reports and UN declarations.
Delaware Passes Bill Allowing Opt Out of Common Core Mandated TestsWritten by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
The Delaware legislature passed a bill permitting parents to have their kids opt out of Common Core mandated tests.
Nevada's New Education Savings Account: School Choice or Legal Plunder?Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
Nevada recently enacted a bill granting over $5,000 to parents to pay for the school of their choice.
Reports published by two progressive education reform groups claim that inequitable public funding of schools is the newest civil rights issue.
By testing students' "opinions" about American history, the Advanced Placement History Standards test promotes liberalism and a warped view of U.S. history.
In its early stages on the state level, free tuition seems to be working. But just let the federal government provide it, and the results could be vastly, drastically, different.

Boycott by referees forces cancellation of Hong Kong lower division games
More than 350 players will miss out on matches when season resumes
An unprecedented boycott by referees will rob more than 350 players in the lower divisions of a game when the season resumes on Saturday after the festive break.
The Hong Kong Society of Rugby Football Union Referees is up in arms over the abrupt dismissal of its longtime performance manager of referees Bernie Fienberg by the HKRFU and in protest have decided not to officiate all matches across the board.
The Paul Y Premiership will, however, go ahead with HKRFU officials stepping into officiate, which happened last Tuesday when Leighton Asia HKCC met WhichWay Valley in a match rearranged from the first round. But all other games in Division Two, Three, Four and Five have been cancelled.
"This weekend rugby will not be a 'Game for All', with over 350 players missing their weekend games," said a spokesman for the referees' society. "We believe the HKRFU needs to provide a better explanation, than the one given [for Fienberg's dismissal]."
On December 24, Christmas Eve, and after 15 years' of service, Fienberg was given one week to clear his desk and leave.
HKRFU officials were unavailable for comment last night.
In a letter sent to all club chairmen on Friday, the referees' society said it was regretful this course of action had been taken.
The statement read: "This season has seen a number of very distasteful incidents against the referees, both verbal and physical. In addition, there have been a number of significant changes in the refereeing structure.
"While we are very supportive of the 'spirit' of the changes and the initial consultation and decisions that were undertaken with the society last season, we were quite concerned at the further changes that were made over the 'off season' without consultation.
"At no point this season was the society consulted or asked for our opinion, nor have we had any sight of these proposed changes. These changes culminated in the abrupt departure of Bernard Fienberg on January 5.
"Whilst the personnel employment relationship is entirely a matter for the union, the proposed changes and constant, unprofessional and very poor behaviour from certain sectors within the rugby community, have caused much consternation amongst our membership, especially as we have been kept in the dark on the changes.
"The timing and manner of Bernie's departure was the breaking point for many. We became aware that a number of referees decided they would not make themselves available to referee this weekend, as a protest against the treatment of Bernie and issues as highlighted above.
"Our greatest concern is that we have heard that some members are contemplating giving up refereeing entirely. As soon as we became aware of this, we called an extraordinary general meeting [to be held on Monday].
"As a society, we have tried to cover as many games as possible this weekend and for the past 50 years, we have successfully managed to cover all games despite the ever-growing demands made on the referees as the game has expanded.
"However, it must be pointed out that our members are all volunteers and we cannot force anybody to referee. It is also stressed that at no point did the society encourage any of its members not to referee this weekend.
"It is also pointed out that members have taken no action at any game at youth or tertiary levels, with the New year's Day tournament last week and the tertiary tournament held last weekend having the full support of the society refs.
"We have discussed the situation and issues with the union CEO Vernon Reid, chairman Trevor Gregory and Dai Rees. We believe that there are a number of matters to be clarified and discussed in detail but with proper and full consultation, we can work with the union to achieve what everyone in rugby wants - a better game at all levels, for all involved.

re: Is Open Source Safe?
What a badly written IDG article: "Open-source software is usually free and often public domain." Huh?
re: Is Open Source Safe?
Its PC World. Do you honestly expect their columnists to know anything about open source in detail?
These are the same kind of folks who continue to promote Anti-Virus use in Windows; despite the fact that all one has to do is to change the way you use Windows to be secure. (ie: Use Software Restriction Policy as a whitelist; and Limited/Standard User. Keep updated with patches and your third-party apps. Only install software from legit/trusted sources...That's it!)
Think about it: A typical tech journalist/columnist/blogger needs to feed their weekly quota of articles or they don't get paid.
They know a bit about everything...Which means they really know nothing in great detail or correctness. => "Jack of all trades, master of none."
Had the author specialise on open source projects and actually did research; he wouldn't make an obvious mistake.
Jack of all trades...
Just to clarify that your quote doesn't really stand up in this situation, as the quote is fully:
"Jack of all trades, master of none,
Is often better than a master of one"
That said, I also don't think PCWorld is very good; their focus on Windows puts their ideas of a PC in the same camp as Apple, when really these are (mostly) all PCs (personal computers).

The universal, standalone in-system programmer specifically designed for the production environment (FlashRunner) now features expanded data encryption capabilities that extend the previously released security features and allows for secure programming outsurcing. With this software update, freely available for all users who purchased the FlashRunner security pack, binary files and other data can now be encrypted before being sent over a public communication line. The new encryption capabilities allow the programming engineer, for example, to safely send password-encrypted data (binary files, projects, etc.) to remote FlashRunenr units via public channels (e.g. as e-mail attachment or directly through a TCP/IP connection). Upon reception, the encrypted files can be copied to the FlashRunner's SD card. FlashRunner will then internally and automatically decrypt their contents.
With the FlashRunner Data Protection System:
- Binary image files can be safely exchanged through public communication channels
- Binary image files cannot be read/modified by unauthorized people
- The production operator cannot alter the programming cycle as set up by the production engineer
The Data Protection System works by encrypting the FlashRunner SD card with an administrator password; without the administrator password, FlashRunner usage is limited, allowing the production personnel to only execute a pre-set programming flow, without being able to read, copy or modify the binary code. In a typical scenario, the production engineer sets up a FlashRunner SD card, by copying there the binary code to be programmed together with the desired programming flow. The SD card is then encrypted and handed to the production facility.
FlashRunner is a high-performance, standalone in-system programmer specific for Flash-based microcontrollers and serial memories. FlashRunner is targeted at production environments, easily integrates into your programming system or Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), and can work either in full standalone mode or controlled by a host system.
FlashRunner features state-of-the-art electronics to provide you with high integration flexibility in a compact footprint. The following are FlashRunner's main features:
- Fastest programming algorithms (as fast as target device's memory technology limit), approved by silicon manufacturers
- Easy ATE integration
- Standalone operations (projects and code images stored on a memory card)
- Also controllable by any host system via RS-232 or Ethernet
- Flexible, fully configurable
- Compact and robust design for production environments (optoisolated control signals)
- Data integrity guaranteed (every data transfer to/from the host system
- Secure Digital card is CRC tagged)
Supports most ISP protocols (BDM, JTAG, SPI, I2C, MON, ICC, SCI, etc.)
Moreover, FlashRunner's open architecture makes its firmware easily upgradable to support both new devices and new features.
About SMH Technologies
SMH Technologies is a global, independent, high-tech company, leader in Silicon Device In-System Programming and services for the Manufacturing Industry. The company's patented FlashRunner technology is widely used by OEM/ODM/EMS and kept-up worldwide by SSA, the SofTec Support Alliance network. Major Silicon Device Manufacturers and ATE Producers trust SMH Technologies and FlashRunner technology.

Stopped into Fertile Underground. I was excited to see that the shop has come along since the last time I was in. They're doing some wonderful things with the space. I'm so grateful they're in town. Their bulk section has grown and they now offer some spices. Fantastic!
This bitter melon caught my eye. I had never seen it before. Apparently it's grown locally. Kim of the Fertile Underground staff offered me some wonderful information on what it tastes like and how to cook it. She recommended stir frying it with other asian vegetables. I brought one home and did just that.
The posters in the windows of Fertile Underground reflect the values of the business. This Eating with the Ecosystem poster is an advertisement for a dinner series designed to raise awareness about New England marine ecosystem sustainability.
"This is not trash. This is future dirt."
An educational poster campaign produced by ecoRI. It's a beautiful thing. If you live in the area and don't have an at home composting setup, you can bring your food scraps to the Hope Street Farmers Market at Lippitt Park in Providence (9:00am-1:00pm) or to the Go Local Farmers Market at the Barrington Congregational Church (9 a.m.-noon) on Saturdays and ecoRI Public Works will compost them for you. See their compost guidelines here.

Night terrors, also called sleep terrors, are a parasomnia. Parasomnia is a sleep problem whereby you have unwanted events happening while you sleep.
What happens during a night terror?
People who experience night terrors will often sit upright in bed and let out a blood curdling scream or shout a lot. They may also kick, punch and thrash about. The heart will be racing, they'll be sweaty and breathing heavily. But they're asleep.
- The eyes will be wide open and, to their bed partner or roommate, they will appear very frightened.
- Some people get out of bed and try to escape the dream and can injure themselves or others in the process.
- When someone tries to wake them (which can be quite hard to do), they will feel confused and not know what's been going on, or have much memory of what the dream was.
- It can take some time for the person to calm down and feel reassured enough to go back to sleep.
These bulleted points above are what separate a night terror from REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder.
Who has night terrors?
Many children have sleep terrors but they're less common in adults – about 2% of adults compared to over 6% of children. It can cause a lot of embarrassment for adults and affect relationships.
If someone in your family has night terrors then you may have inherited the tendency to have them too.
People with mental health problems of bipolar disorder, depressive or anxiety disorders are at more risk of sleep terrors. In children there is no connection between mental health problems and sleep terrors.
Some other health problems can also make night terrors more likely. Conditions such as:
- Sleep deprivation (from insomnia)
- Hyperthyroidism
- Migraine
- Stroke or other brain/head injury
- Physical or emotional stress
- Some medications
- Alcohol
- Sleep apnea
- Fever in children
What is the treatment for night terrors?
If you recognise the descriptions above then talk to your family doctor. She should be able to refer you to a sleep specialist.
The sleep specialist will probably do an overnight sleep study which will give lots of readings about your brain wave activity, blood pressure, heart and breathing rates, etc while you sleep. It also it will video your activity during sleep. Any other sleep disorders that you weren't aware of can be identified as they may be making your night terrors worse.
- You can also keep a sleep diary, with the help of your roommate or bed partner. This may help in finding what triggers your sleep terrors. Record things like your stress levels, meds, sleepiness, alcohol use etc, as well as what happens if you have a sleep terror.
- Treatment for night terrors usually involves correcting other sleep problems and also making sure you're not taking any meds or drugs that might provoke them.
In children the disorder tends to go away as they get older and into their teens. There's more about children's night terrors here.
