Why do you have at least 14 programs running at Startup based on the Soluto output? This sounds like a newly purchased computer which needs to Clean up factory bloatware
Enter msconfig>Startup and uncheck everything except AV, then after reboots enter msconfig>Services, Hide All MS Services, do that same. After several reboots check back to make sure nothing writes itself back in or turn it off in its Program Prefs or Uninstall it. You now have a clean boot.

By Geza MOLNAR with Anca TEODORESCU in Bucharest
Budapest (AFP) March 19, 2017
A decade ago, business was booming for Hungarian construction firm owner Geza Borgulya.
He was making an annual profit of some five million euros ($5.4 million) and had around 60 staff including surveyors and bricklayers.
Now, the 44-year-old has barely a dozen employees left.
"I'm glad if I make a million in earnings," he told AFP in the central town of Rackeve.
Borgulya largely blames the decline on Hungarian workers heading to neighbouring Austria where wages are significantly higher.
"Those who work in western Europe easily earn 70 euros a day, we can't keep up with that here," said Borgulya.
Once an eldorado of cheap labour, companies in eastern and central Europe are struggling to fill thousands of jobs as workers up sticks and head to wealthier EU nations.
A staggering 20 million people have moved from the region to western Europe since the early 1990s, many of them headed for Germany and Britain, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The exodus, coupled with low birth rates and rapidly ageing populations, has left gaping holes in job markets across the region.
From healthcare and computer technologies to manufacturing and food industries, few sectors have been exempt from the drought.
The diaspora, which began with the fall of the Iron Curtain, was exacerbated by ex-communist countries' accession to the EU and the financial crisis.
Some 400,000 Hungarians have emigrated from the nation of 10 million since 2008, official figures show.
- Perks and problems -
"I have lost at least twelve people over the past three years, who have gone to England, Austria and Sweden," said a restaurant owner in Budapest, who did not want to be named.
The situation is even more acute in neighbouring Romania, the EU's second-poorest country after Bulgaria.
Three million Romanians, or 15 percent of the population, have left in recent years, with a majority of working age. Hospitals are particularly hard hit.
"We don't know what to do anymore to attract new recruits," said Ionela Danet, who runs a hospital in the city of Curtea de Arges in southern Romania.
She has been trying to hire at least 20 doctors.
"We have state-of-the-art equipment, we're on a tourist route, the region is beautiful and not far from Bucharest. Yet no one's applying," Danet told AFP.
The exodus from the region has "exacerbated shortage" of labour and "lowered potential growth" in workers' home countries, the IMF found in a report last year.
It's also forced companies to bump wages, increasing costs without boosting productivity.
Although eastern and central states have the EU's fastest-growing economies and unemployment rates are relatively low, employers fear that the labour shortage will soon turn into a serious obstacle for foreign investment.
While the Czech Republic has 140,000 vacant jobs primarily in the manufacturing sector, car-making hub Slovakia needs technicians while Bulgaria is desperate for engineers.
"Large companies are worried that if the issue isn't resolved, it will create... insuperable problems for their future projects," Bulgaria's economy ministry warned this month.
- Brexit anxiety -
To remedy the situation, corporations are trying to lure back workers with generous perks.
In Hungary, burger giant McDonald's is offering free accommodation to out-of-town staff, while cashiers can earn close to 1,000 euros at German budget supermarket chain Lidl -- a salary equivalent to that of an expert in chemical engineering.
Meanwhile Polish companies have turned to foreign workers from Ukraine to help fill the void left by the recent departure of some 2.4 million nationals.
An estimated one million Ukrainians are residing in Poland, making up a large chunk of restaurant and shop employees in the capital Warsaw.
"Without the Ukrainians, the Polish economy would be in deep trouble, particularly regarding less skilled positions," said Maciej Witucki, president of Work Service, one of Poland's largest employment agencies.
However emigration isn't the only cause for the labour drought.
A lack of investment in education and training has also left tens of thousands of young people without formal skills or employment.
In response, governments have rolled out apprentice schemes and teamed up with private businesses to draw recruits, in the hope that they'll take up domestic jobs.
The EU plans to toughen migrant labour rules and Britain's decision to quit the bloc might also drive down the number of arrivals.
Following last year's so-called "Brexit" vote -- spurred by a divisive debate on immigration -- eastern workers face an uncertain future in Britain.
Until now, only a modest fraction of them have returned home, according to IMF data, but that could change in the coming years.
Berlin (AFP) March 15, 2017
Finance ministers from the world's top nations gather in Germany Friday as fears grow that US President Donald Trump could upend the global economic order with his America First policy. Within two months of moving into the White House, Trump has already torn up the trans-Pacific free trade pact, threatened punitive tariffs against multinationals with factories outside the United States and a ... read more

By Tom Shales
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, September 20, 2006
"Sometimes, the world doesn't make sense," says a philosophical bodyguard named Virgil in tonight's premiere of NBC's "Kidnapped." Virgil has not only made the understatement of the week, but he's also helped set the tone for this superior, high-tension serialized drama about the proverbial "parent's worst nightmare" -- and how it affects not just the parents but everyone involved.
Making the strongest impression among those in an unusually sturdy cast is Jeremy Sisto, an intense young actor whose parts have ranged from the title role in the CBS miniseries "Jesus" to the disturbed boyfriend in HBO's "Six Feet Under" to a man with breasts (a transsexual in progress) in an obscure bit of weirdness called "The Crew."
Here, Sisto's a man known simply as Knapp, a roguish but no-nonsense freelance operative whose specialty is helping families recover kidnap victims -- alive.
"All I care about is retrieval; everything else is distraction," he tells the indefatigable Dana Delany and aging Timothy Hutton, who play Ellie and Conrad Cain, well-to-do Upper-East-Siders. Their brainy 15-year-old son, Leopold (Will Denton), is nabbed in a maliciously well-planned, recklessly violent operation that bodyguard Virgil (played by the formidable Mykelti Williamson) comes within heartbreaking seconds of preventing.
Why does a teenage schoolboy have a bodyguard in the first place? That's one of many tantalizing questions raised in the premiere, the abduction itself reverberating with an uncountable number of obvious and incipient complications -- motive, culpability and the possible involvement even of seeming "good guys."
Writer and executive producer Jason Smilovic, ably abetted by director Michael Dinner, crams the premiere with so many provocative complications that even a doubting Thomas can see how a drama about a single kidnapping -- wrapped up handily in such self-contained, two-hour movies as "Ransom" -- could sustain viewer interest over an entire season.
In the second installment, for instance, a Hannibal Lecter-like character is introduced. He's an unsavory source of possible use to Knapp, along with a new and scary bodyguard named Jimbo, who moves into the Cains' plush house. The kidnappers demand $20 million in untraceable, negotiable bearer bonds -- a term so familiar from so many films that one has to wonder: If whoever prints up those darn "untraceable, negotiable bearer bonds" just stopped making them, mightn't the number of robberies and kidnappings decline? Oh, probably not.
The series doesn't do much to help the ailing image of the FBI; it's ailing, at least, in movies and TV shows like this one. Casting Delroy Lindo as a top agent who comes out of retirement because of a vested interest in the case does somewhat help the image of the agency.
Knapp finds the FBI guys less a hindrance, going so far as to punch one of them in the gut after a bungled rescue attempt and telling the agent, "What you can't seem to understand is, you're the only ones playing by the rules." Agents naively imagine that they're dealing with nice, respectable kidnappers who'll keep their word and honor agreements.
Would "Kidnapped" be more gripping if the victim's family weren't so outrageously wealthy? Probably not, and credibility would suffer. Middle-class families aren't likely to have stacks of those bearer bonds lying around, for one thing, and a threat to the safety of a child is a subject that crosses all boundaries, socioeconomic being perhaps the least of them.
"Kidnapped" isn't the show to watch if you want your mind taken off your troubles (unless other people's troubles have a therapeutic effect). It reflects a trend toward the grim and even ghoulish in new fall dramas. But for what it is, it's an extremely accomplished piece of work -- unsettling in ways that few suspense thrillers manage to be.'Jericho'
Chicken Little, sources say, might have been misquoted. Or taken out of context. When Little said, "The sky is falling," he could have meant, "Something awful is falling out of the sky!"
At least that's an errant thought inspired by "Jericho," the new season's gloomiest and doomiest drama.
In the series premiere tonight on CBS, America suffers the apocalyptic horror of a nuclear attack. And that's just for starters.
Where will the show's writers go from there? From the obliteration of Denver and other cities apparently vaporized but not shown? That's a good question for "Jericho's" executive producer, Jon Turteltaub, who reassured a reporter for Entertainment Weekly: "The show is not all doom and gloom where everybody gets boils under their skin and dies." Well, thank heaven. Nobody likes a nuclear holocaust without a little fun in it.
The title refers to a relatively small town in Kansas, one so quaintly pretty and serene that it looks like an ad for Hallmark. In the pilot, a young and sullen prodigal son returns to Jericho just in time to see the big awful mushroom clouds forming in the distant sky. Eventually, the townsfolk realize that Denver has disappeared, and all hell begins to break loose.
Well, not quite all hell. A mob overruns a gas station, basically. One assumes the rest of hell is being saved for serialized chapters to come.
CBS, meanwhile, must have its own Chicken Little on staff, perhaps as a consultant, running around the Television City parking lot in Los Angeles and shouting "You've got to get 'Lost'! You've got to get 'Lost!' " Meaning not "Get out of town before somebody drops a house on you," but rather "Develop a show like 'Lost,' ABC's big, mysterious hit about people marooned an island after their plane crashes."
The people in "Jericho" are marooned in -- what else? -- Jericho after a whole city crashes.
And it appears the same sorts of plot threads will be unraveled, the same kinds of murky back-stories told, and similar conflicts evolve among the various characters as Jericho faces dire prospects just over the horizon.
Skeet Ulrich plays the prodigal figure, a guy named Nick who left town under a cloud of his own -- not a nuclear cloud, of course -- and has returned after four years just in time to perform an emergency tracheotomy on a little girl trapped in a school bus. There's another bus to worry about: one formerly filled with prison inmates, all now running loose because their bus tumbled into a ravine.
Ulrich is so muttery and mopey in the lead role that the show seems gloomy even during the few minutes before the mushroom clouds form. But more damaging to "Jericho" is the fact that it's really a Cold War drama airing years after the Cold War ended. Perhaps it will evolve that al-Qaeda or the Iranians or North Koreans or -- the possibilities are too numerous -- get hold of nuclear weapons and go berserk, making the show seem more contemporary, but obviously we'll have to "tune in next week," or for weeks after that, to find out what's going on.
The drama seems dated in other ways -- among them, tiny details like a strange scarcity of cellphones in town. This is a writer's convenience; if people in Jericho, like everywhere else, had cellphones, then someone could have called the cops to tell them about the imperiled school bus. Instead, footage is eaten up by townsfolk traipsing around in search of the vehicle.
It might sound callous to say that "Jericho" has managed to make nuclear war look boring, but there you have it. Or don't have it, should you choose the seemingly sane course of steering clear.
As for comic relief, there is some, but it might be unintentional -- as when Gerald McRaney, as the town's nutball of a mayor, tries to calm the population by saying, "One explosion does not make an attack," even with the nuclear clouds clearly visible in the distance. That's not looking on the bright side. That's being a blithering idiot.
"Jericho" could use considerably less blither and considerably more believability.
Kidnapped (one hour) debuts tonight at 10 on Channel 4; Jericho (one hour) debuts tonight at 8 on Channel 9.

Sheikh Hasina seeks immediate signing of Teesta deal with India
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has requested India to immediately sign the much-awaited agreement for sharing waters of the Teesta River during a meeting with Minister of State for External Affairs VK Singh here.
Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has requested India to immediately sign the much-awaited agreement for sharing waters of the Teesta River during a meeting with Minister of State for External Affairs VK Singh here.
"Teesta water sharing deal should be inked as soon as possible as Bangladesh needs more water in the lean period," Hasina`s press secretary AKM Shameem Chowdhury quoted her as telling Singh, who called on her last night at her residence.
She also hoped India would implement the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) which the two sides signed three years ago.
Singh, also the Minister of State with independent charge for North East Region, arrived here yesterday with a high- profile delegation of northeastern states to attend a day-long business conclave.
India Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Kolkata and India- Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IBCCI) with the help of Indian High Commission have organised the conclave titled `A New Phase in Bilateral Economic Relations`.
The Indian delegation included Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma and commerce and industry minister of Tripura Tapan Chakraborty. The two were also present during Singh`s meeting with Hasina, who also urged India to provide transit to Bangladesh with Nepal and Bhutan through Indian territory.
"We also want transit from you, as we are already providing that facilities to you," she said.
Chowdhury said Singh reassured Dhaka of providing the facility saying "yes, you will get it" and added that a railway line should be built along with the existing road that connects Bangladesh with Nepal and Bhutan.
"We want to create an environment for increasing trade and investment between North Eastern States of India and Bangladesh," Singh said, adding that the existing makeshift `border hats` increased the people-to-people contact to a great extent between the two countries.
Singh is the second Indian minister to tour Bangladesh since the visit of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in June after the assumption of the NDA government in office.
During her visit, Swaraj had said the NDA was seeking to reach an "internal consensus" in India on the Teesta deal.
The Teesta deal was set to be inked during the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh`s visit to Bangladesh in 2011 but was postponed at the last minute due to objections by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banarjee.
The Teesta water is crucial for Bangladesh, especially in the leanest period from December to March when the water flow often temporarily comes down to less than 1,000 cusec from 5,000 cusec every year.

Series 306 Spiral Balance
A home owner from Florida says:
May 30, 2015
I believe I have 306. It goes in a non-tilt window. It is 3/8" diameter and 18" long. The color tip appears to be clear. Grease is under it and it looks darker than it is. The condo/villa was built in 1988. It's a small window, maybe 10 lbs.
What color should I use?
What color should I use?
Paul from SWISCO responded:
June 1, 2015
If the sash is 10 pounds, I would recommend the Red Tip. However, I highly recommend weighing the sash on a scale so that you know the exact weight.
A home owner from Tarpon Springs says:
June 3, 2015
Thanks for the response. When you say the sash, I assume you mean the window and frame. The window and frame weight 6.5 lbs.
Do you still recommend red and is it a 306?
Do you still recommend red and is it a 306?
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 4, 2015
Yes, the sash is the glass panel that the balances support. It's what you slide up and down when you open and close the window.
If your sash is 6.5 pounds, I would still recommend the Red Tip. Two of these balances with Red Tip color options can carry a sash weight of 6 through 16 pounds.

Our story begins in Henderson Co. Kentucky.
For Henry Kraver-the man that shaped the Peerless legacy-roots run into the 1800s through the river city of Henderson, Kentucky.
The first distilleries emerge in Henderson during the 1860-70s, with the likes of D.R. Burbank Distillery and Oakland Distillery. Both eventually succumb to the elements-fire destroying the former, river erosion sweeping away the latter.
In 1879, the L&N train line is completed, connecting the town of Henderson with larger cities, Louisville & St. Louis. Industries of Henderson begin to flourish, including tobacco, buggy manufacturing, and good ol' whiskey.
In the Summer of 1881, business associates Elijah W. Worsham and Capt. J.B. Johnston combine to build the Henderson distillery, E.W. Worsham & Co. Operations begin that same Winter, producing the first Peerless whiskey.
Worsham is producing between 300-400 barrels of Peerless per year at its peak in the 1880s.
In 1885, a 26-year old Henry H. Kraver finds his way to Henderson, Kentucky and begins work at the Mann Brothers department store. Recognizing a determination and dedication in Henry, the owners of the shop invest in his future.
With their assistance, Henry Kraver owns a saloon and is building the Kraver tobacco house by 1888.
During this same time, E.W. Worsham Distilling isn't able to keep steady, and eventually death catches Elijah Worsham. E.W. Worsham Distilling is then sold to Henry Kraver in the year 1889.
Kraver wastes no time making upgrades to the machinery and invests in additional warehouses.
These warehouses prove to be even more valuable when they become U.S. Federally Bonded following the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897.
Production of Peerless whiskey rises from 8 to 200 barrels per day.
As the wholesale market expands to Chicago and St. Louis, production of Peerless liquor becomes substantial and reliable through the early 1900s.
Kraver is still operating under the auspices of Worsham Distilling Co. until 1907, when he incorporates as The Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company. Initial capital stock is $100,000.
By 1913, Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. employs nearly 50 workers and is producing 10,000 barrels per year. Kraver continues to make a number of investments in Henderson, including purchasing the Henderson Brewing Company, positioned on the bank of the Ohio River. Kraver makes quick work of increasing production & service.
By 1917, the Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. is running at peak production making 200 barrels per day, more than 23,000 barrels a year, with 63,000 barrels in storage.
Along with other distilleries, Henry Kraver ceases production to aid in the conservation of corn for the war effort. During this same time the 18th Amendment is passed and Prohibition begins.
The famous Peerless whiskey is officially out of production for the first time since 1881.
During the early 1920s, the Peerless federally-bonded warehouses are used for whiskey storage under armed protection of the U.S. Government.
In 1923, the contents of the warehouses (some 6,000 barrels of whiskey) are transported by troops to another facility in Owensboro, KY.
For a period of time, Peerless product is of the few available by prescription for medicinal use.
In the early throes of the Great Depression, Henry Kraver invests in, and serves as president of, the First National Bank of Henderson. Opening its doors in 1932, the bank operates under this same name until 1993.
The newly minted Montgomery Ward department store does not survive and in 1934 Kraver retrofits the space to be an 800-seat movie house and vaudeville stage. The Kraver Theater remains open from from 1935 until 1976.
An event happens in 1933 that would alter the course of the Peerless legacy. Local union workers break into a Henderson insurance agency and leave a threatening letter for Kraver stating, "You better look out for your grandson." With this, the Kraver family sends him to military school.
After many amazing life experiences of his own, this grandson grows up to be the father of Corky Taylor and great-grandfather of Carson Taylor. Corky and Carson, respectively the 4th and 5th generations, are now reviving the legendary Peerless namesake in Louisville, Kentucky.
After a dedicated marriage, many business ventures, and a daughter together, Henry's wife, Ida, passes away in 1936.
In October 1937, Kraver falls from the top of the grandiose stairs of the famous Palmer House Hotel in Chicago. This fall leaves him in need of surgery and eventually a leg amputation.
Henry Kraver passes away from related complications in January 1938 at the age of 78.
Peerless is able to obtain the original Kentucky Distilled Spirits Plant Number from the first Peerless Distillery in Henderson, Kentucky in the 1800's. DSP-KY-50 represents the history behind the Peerless family and the legacy behind Peerless bourbon. Today, Distilled Spirits Numbers are established in the 20,000s.
March 4, 2015
Barrel Number 1 is filled and for the first time since 1917, Peerless Whiskey is back in the barrel.
Corky Taylor, Henry Kraver's Great Grandson, has come out of retirement in Sarasota, FL to revive the family brand by opening Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company in downtown Louisville with his son, Carson Taylor, 5th Generation.
As a Bottle in Bond facility, the Taylor family is making Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and Bourbon. The legendary Peerless spirit continues and a new legacy is born.
June 3, 2015
Peerless family and friends, including Mayor Greg Fisher, gather to celebrate the Peerless grand opening. Doors are officially open to the Peerless distillery and the public has the opportunity to participate, first-hand in the Peerless legacy.

Gold Coast's shock AFL loss to St Kilda on Saturday is just the latest in a string of underwhelming results for the Suns.
After promising to atone for their disappointing opening round defeat to Melbourne at the MCG, the Suns made a sloppy start to their clash with the Saints before falling to pieces in a horror second quarter.
The Saints – the tip of many for this year's wooden spoon – scored eight goals to one as the Suns were played out of the contest.
Concerningly, basic skills went out the window, four 50 metre penalties were conceded in a half and easy goal opportunities were missed while the Saints ran rampant.
A late fourth-quarter surge reduced the damage but the defeat was the latest in a string of recent displays which suggest the Suns, for all their talent, can go missing when hard work is required.
In addition to their 2015 displays, the Suns' efforts came under fire on four occasions at the back end of last season despite a finals appearance still being in their grasp.
Games against the Western Bulldogs, Brisbane, Carlton and West Coast all ended in uninspiring defeats when victories could have lifted them into the top eight.
Suns coach Rodney Eade, who says he was more pleased with the efforts of his team against the Saints than against the Demons, is in no doubt things need to change.
"As a coach and a club you've always got high expectations," he said.
"But I went into the job with eyes open so I know there was a quite a few things to work on.
"We'll still continue to work on that. If that means the win-loss ratio goes backward, well it goes backward but we're not building to finish eighth, ninth or 10th, we're building to finish in the top two or four.
"It won't concern me for the whole year as long as we build a base, as long as we build a base that we know is going to compete well when we need to."

Bikini-Clad Heidi and Seal Are Still Making a Splash
Just when we thought the Klum-Samuel Italian getaway couldn't possibly get any cuter, the family headed to the beach again yesterday, this time with more water sports! Heidi and Seal stole snorkel-masked kisses in the sea between taking turns splashing their little ones and giving rides in the ocean. There was still plenty of time for Heidi to show off her hot bikini body in another skimpy two piece — though Johan wins the swimsuit competition in his Elmo trunks.

I'm stuck in the middle between work and hobby. I don't think hobby and work does not get along fine. It should be somewhere we found it collides in harmony. Where we admire the joy of doing something we love and people appreciate.
Does it something unreachable so it's so hard to get into it?
At most point of my life i don't want to do anything beside playing drums. I love to play drums. It made me forget about all things. It made me feel good. Feel that i was alive and well. A feeling that you can not exchange with something. I don't care if it hurts my fingers because i can put any bandage on my finger and keep playing. I love the feeling of hitting the drum and gets a sound, vibration feedback from it. I don't want to do anything beside drumming.
But the problem is everyone thinks it's a hobby. Can i just make it a business where i can keep on playing drums and people appreciate it?
Or make a band and trying to meet several people to do it.
I'm in the process to find the perfect people to do music.
Or. Only if only i could. I should do it by myself!
Man that's the greatest idea alive!
Man i gotta work on something!

Tadlo Early Origins
Cambridgeshire at Tadlow, a civil parish and village in the union of Caxton and Arrington, hundred of Armingford. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. There are scant records of the name but the first on record was Roysia de Tadelowe who was listed in Cambridgeshire in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Bardsley, C.W, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances. Wiltshire: Heraldry Today, 1901. Print. (ISBN 0-900455-44-6) [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. At this time the surname was also spelt Tadloo. The first record of the place name dates back to c. 1080 when it was first listed as Tadeslaue which would point towards a Saxon heritage. Just eight years later, the place name was listed as Tadelai in the Domesday Book of 1086. [4]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) Literally the place name means "tumulus (burial ground) of a man called Tada," from the Old English personal name + "hlaw." [5]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4)
Tadlo Spelling Variations
Tadlo Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Tadlo were recorded, including Tadlow, Tadlowe, Tadloe, Tadlo, Tedlow, Tedloe, Tedlo, Tadlowe, Dadlow and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Tadlo family emigrate to North America: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..

University of Melbourne
Many cancers produce their own growth factors and receptors. Activation of the receptor by the growth factor further stimulates the tumour's growth and spread throughout the body.
The objective of this project is to determine the potential roles of a growth factor termed Gastrin Releasing Peptide (GRP) in prostate cancers. GRP is an established growth factor in certain lung and bowel cancers but little is known about its role in tumours of the prostate especially advanced cancers that are resistant to our best treatmenthormone therapy.
Our goal is to determine the expression of GRP and its receptors in prostate cancer, the ability of GRP to stimulate growth, and the potential of antagonists to modulate the growth of prostate cancer. We are using cell culture of prostate cancer, mice
with prostate cancers (xenografts), and human resected prostate cancers.
So far we have developed a new assay system for measuring different parts of the proGRP molecule and shown that cells resembling advanced prostate cancer produce more proGRP.
We have also shown which parts of the GRP molecule stimulate the growth of the prostate cancer cells. This is important as we can then develop methods to block their activity. We have made prostate cancer cells for which the GRP gene has been inactivated so that we can compare the growth of these cells with normal prostate cancer cells. Therefore, we can determine the importance of GRP in stimulating the growth of these advanced cancers with a view to the possibility of new treatments such as chemotherapy that would target GRP.
Another way to assess how important a particular gene is for the growth of a cancer is to block this gene at the DNA level. We have performed this for the proGRP gene and now seek to demonstrate that these cells behave differently to the normal cells. If we can show that these cells are less likely to behave like cancer cells then this provides evidence of the importance of proGRP in cancer development.

text: With the death of HideNSeek, I am starting a new thread for his two surviving captive bred offspring. This link: http://www.tonmo.com/community/index.php?threads/7853/ is to the journal of their birth and the lives of their parents and includes a link to the journal of the original wild caught mother. These two are the only surviving offspring from a brood of an estimated 50 CB Mercs. They were born the week of November 17th 2007. I believe one is female and her sibbling male. The female has acquired the name Little Girl (LG for short - thanks gholland ) and the assumed male is named Wiley for his refusal to stay in the breeder net. Little Girl was transferred this week to a 15 gallon hex tank with small skimmer and overflow that successfully housed two of her uncles for 9 months. Wiley has escaped capture several times and only last week was confirmed to be surviving with his father in a 45 gallon aquarium (also hex shaped). It is my intent (if not out witted) to have Wiley join LG in the smaller tank with hopes of producing one more generation. If successful, I am hoping to obtain a new blood line from gholland (a lot of maybe's here) with the hope of producing future generations.

After video of a man wrestling a woman and throwing her against a car came to light Tuesday, the San Jose Police Department issued a warrant – for the woman's arrest.
Of course the man "being assaulted" was none other than an off-duty officer in plainclothes. The officer reportedly approached the woman – without identifying himself as a police officer – after a fender bender between their cars.
Rather than write down their license plate number and take it from there, as many of us would do, he proceeded to attack what appears to be a teenage girl.
During the struggle, he yells out that he is a cop, but to the casual observer, he looks to be a sadistic abductor. But without the help of his gun, taser, pepper spray or handcuffs, the officer was no match for the woman.

A small child has been killed in a house fire in the Western Massachusetts town of Erving.
The State Fire Marshal's office says the young child was killed in the fire early Tuesday morning. Three adults were injured and were taken to the hospital, but the extent of their injuries was unknown.
The identities of the child and the three adults have not been released.
The fire was reported around 3 a.m. Erving Fire Chief Philip Wonkka told The Recorder that three people were already outside when fire crews arrived. He said the fire was so hot that firefighters could not get inside the building.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

What more could I ask for.Simply turn off your monitor on your computer when not in use.The monitor takes more electric to push than any other part of your system.It takes almost nothing to run the hard drive.I think that this is a spectacular piece of technology,and like it or not, I'll bet it hits big.It may undergo some growing pains and a few bugs may need to be worked out,but all in all fantastic ! I've had mine now for about 8 months and have not experienced a single problem with one exception.It does conflict with a program on my computer.Roxio Creator 2009 and it do not play well together.So far that is my only complaint.I switched to Nero-9 and continue to save huge chunks of cash with my magic jack.TRY IT YOURSELF before making a judgment.As with any new product there are going to be a problem or two that need working out.So lighten up a little,there are only a handful of complainers and thousands that are pleased as punch !!

Here is the direct link to the live chat, when you are in live chat also ask for a level III or iv tech, as level I techs no not know anything what so ever:
This is the only thing that I do not like about magic jack, is that they make it almost impossible to get to the live chat.
The other problem I have with Magic Jack, is that there is no way to get in touch with them via the phone.
Other than that I have no problem with Magic Jack, and has been working for me ever since I installed it.

Light meets dark. Secrets meet truth.
It's been three years, twenty-five weeks, and five days since Isis Blake fell in love, and if she has it her way, it'll stretch into infinity.
After a run-in with her mom's ex-boyfriend, she scrabbles to remember what she's lost to amnesia. Her ex-nemesis Jack falls deeper into a pit of despair, and his girlfriend Sophia does all she can to keep him to herself. But as Isis' memories return, she finds it harder and harder to resist what she felt for Jack, and Jack finds it impossible to stay away from the only girl who's ever melted the ice around his heart.
As the dark secrets surrounding Sophia emerge, Isis realizes Jack isn't who she thought he was. He's dangerous. But when Isis starts receiving terrifying emails from an anonymous source, that danger might be the only thing protecting her from something far more threatening.
Her past.
***This book contains language and sexual scenes, some of which may be unsuitable for younger readers.
***This is the second book in the Lovely Vicious series.
My life has become a series of people asking me if I'm better.
Except I'm sitting in a hospital bed with a massive bandage around my head like a turban. So no, I'm not better.
But people keep asking anyway because it's how you show concern for someone you care about, I guess, but frankly a giant box of chocolate truffles and reign over a small kingdom would be acceptable stand-ins.
No school. No home. All I do is sit in bed all day and watch crappy soap operas in which people faint dramatically all the time. Like, damn. That shit's an epidemic. I get so bored I try to mimic their faints except the nurses catch me and say stuff like 'you have a head injury' and 'contrary to popular belief, the floor is hard', or some nonsense, so nobody can blame me when I steal the nearest wheelchair and bolt down the hall at top speeds. NASCAR ain't got nothing on me. Except the backing of huge corporations who give them money to go fast. But still. I'm twice as cool and my ride is pimped as hell – a worn-out shitstain on the seat from somebody's dead someone and the stuffing pulled slightly out of the armrest.
"Good evening, chaps!" I nod at two interns. They shoot each other looks but before they can call security, I'm blazing around the corner at warp speed.
"Bloody good weather we're having!" I smile at a man sitting in his bed as I pass his open room. He cheerily returns my greeting with a resounding "Go to hell!".
I round the next corner and come face-to-face with Naomi, my nurse. Her hair's back in a strict bun, her face angry and worried and tired all at the same time.
"'Ello, love. Fancy a cuppa?"
"You're not British, Isis," Naomi says.
"I can be things," I insist.
"Yes, well, unless those things include a person who is lying in bed recuperating, I don't want to see them. And I especially don't want to see them wheeling around the hospital like a madman."
"The madman is back that way," I jerk my thumb behind me. As if to prove it, a loud "FUCK!" reverberates. Naomi narrows her eyes and points at my room.
"Back in bed. Now."
"Why you gotta be like that?" I sigh. "We can work this out. There can be bribes. Of the monetary kind. Or maybe not monetary. Do you like adventures? I'm full of those. I can give you at least nine adventures."
"You've already given me one for the day. If you don't get back in bed, I won't let Sophia in after her check-up."
I gasp. "You wouldn't!"
"I would!"
I start to faint dramatically, but she catches me with her meaty arms and plops me in the wheelchair, pushing me back to my room. I grumble the entire way. In the doorway, I crawl out on my hands and knees and fake-sob, collapsing into bed.
"Oh, quiet, you drama queen." Naomi chides, and closes the door behind her.
"Drama empress!" I yell. "I prefer the title empress!"
My Review:
4.5 Stars
HOLY CRAP! I am at a loss on how to write this review without out giving anything away, yet managing to convey how I felt after finishing the story! I am so freaking...AHH! Ok, take a deep breath. Focus.
Book two picks up right where we left off with Lovely Vicious. I was at turns frustrated and confused as I read along. I cursed at the characters and yes, talked aloud. To fictitious people. Like they could hear me. ARG! The twists and turns in this book were fast and furious. I was sailing along and then, damn it! Sara Wolf did it to me again! I was reading this intense scene and suddenly, it was done. The End. WHAT?!
I love Isis and her rampant verbal diarrhea. One of my favorite examples:
"It hits me with the force of a dozen Godzillas breakdancing over the ruins of Tokyo."
The story is full of gems like this making it hilarious to read. At the same time it is very mysterious and nerve wracking. The things that happen in this book will blow your mind. I am already wishing I had my hands on the next installment. Wondering what will happen next? Is Nameless finally going to make an appearance?How evil is Sophia? So many unanswered questions...If you haven't started this series yet, I urge you to and leave you with one more quote from the book.
"...her head twisted at a perfect ninety degree angle and her ocean eyes staring at me, wide open, like a mannequin, like a doll, like a bird who never learned how to take flight."
YUP. Thought that would get your attention.

Fire meets ice. Love meets hate.
Seventeen-year-old Isis Blake hasn't fallen in love in three years, nine weeks, and five days, and after what happened last time, she intends to keep it that way. Since then she's lost eighty-five pounds, gotten four streaks of purple in her hair, and moved to the Buttcrack-of-Nowhere Ohio to help her mom escape a bad relationship.
All the girls in her new school want one thing – Jack Hunter, the Ice Prince of East Summit High. Hot as an Armani ad, smart enough to get into Yale, and colder than the Arctic, Jack Hunter's never gone out with anyone. Sure, people have seen him downtown with beautiful women, but he's never given high school girls the time of day. Until Isis punches him in the face.
Jack's met his match. Suddenly everything is a game.
The goal: Make the other beg for mercy.
The game board: East Summit High.
The reward: Something neither of them expected.

Three armed home invaders met their match in the form of an armed woman. The mistake cost one of the suspects his life. The suspects broke into the Gwinnett County, Georgia home around 4am this morning. The homeowner quickly grabbed a gun, exited her bedroom and engaged all four suspects.
We then see the suspects running from the home after encountering the armed homeowner. All of the men appeared to have guns in hand and it appears one of the men may have shot at the homeowner during the exchange. [Scroll Down For Video]
The woman manages to shoot one of the suspects during the hectic situation. That suspect managed to get outside of the home, but ultimately died of his injuries in the home's driveway. The other two suspects manage to escape, but police are optimistic that by releasing the surveillance video they will be identified.
She then secures the area as a roommate consoles her and takes the gun from her.
"She exercised her right to defend her livelihood and property," Cpl. Deon Washington with the Gwinnett County Police Department told Channel 2's Nicole Carr according to local media reports.
"It's not common that we receive this caliber of surveillance video showing the crime unfold, an actual home invasion," Washington said.
"They're not wearing anything on their faces so we're highly anticipating someone watching the evening newscast will recognize these people," Washington continued.
Police are asking anyone who might be able to identify the suspects to come forward.

I own an HTC EVO and just purchased a BlueAnt Q1 blue-tooth headset, I would like to pass the input coming from the headset out of my EVO via the 3.5mm to my voice amp (they give us that neat stormtrooper sound.) Is this possible? Does anyone know if an app already exists? Thanks!

The Islamic medieval village in the oasis of Dakhla – lies Qila al-Dabba, Balat's ancient necropolis.
Qila el-Dab'a, the necropolis associated with the Old Kingdom settlement at Ain Asil, is located about 1.5km to the west of the ancient town. The site was investigated in 1970s by Egyptian archaeologist Ahmad Fakhry who uncovered four large mudbrick mastabas probably belonging to governors of the oasis.
Since 1986 the IFAO have been excavating at Qila el-Dab'a and they have found at least six or seven mastabas, including one containing the mummy of a Dynasty VI ruler.
The mastaba field at Qila el-Dab'a is surrounded by many smaller graves from the Old Kingdom and the First Intermediate Period. These graves are simple oval pits with a descending staircase. Other tombs have been found dug into the rock and covered by mudbrick vaulted roofs.
The mastabas were constructed in steps from mudbricks and dressed with slabs of limestone. When found, the tombs were in various stages of ruin, but basically followed the plan of a large brick enclosure surrounding a courtyard in which the mastaba stood. The tombs had niched façades like others of the Old Kingdom and a funerary stela at the entrance identified the occupant.
Stela and jambs from the tomb of governor Ima-Pepi can be seen in the Kharga Heritage Museum.
The mastaba tombs show important differences in their construction. The first type had a substructure containing several burial chambers for family members and superstructures built over vast excavations in the open air.
Examples of this type are the mastabas of Ima-Pepi I (reign of Pepi I) and Khentika (reign of Pepi II). The second construction type contained only one burial chamber, an antechamber and store rooms built from stone and mudbrick. This was the type favoured Ima-Pepi II (reign of Pepi II) and Medunefer (reign of Pepi II) and they are generally smaller structures.
Inside the tombs there are sometimes a number of rooms, antechambers and burial chambers with barrel-vaulted roofs. The first to be identified was the tomb of the governor Medunefer who served during the reign of Pepi II and which contained funerary goods including gold jewellery. In the mastaba of Khentikau-Pepi, over 100 pottery vessels were found in fragments beneath the fallen masonry in the underground chambers.
Other governors who built mastabas at Qila el-Dab'a include Khentika, also from the reign of Pepi II whose painted subterranean chambers have been restored, and Ima-Pepi, whose later tomb shows an improvement in construction techniques.
The most recent reconstruction is the burial chamber of an individual called Bitsu, which contains vivid painted scenes depicting the official and his family, as well as part of a star-painted ceiling which is suspended above.
The mastabas of the wealthy governors were found to contain rich burial equipment with wooden or ceramic coffins, but further cemeteries containing more modest burials have been found to the south and east of the mastabas. These poorer members of the community were often buried in simple pits and wrapped only in layers of matting. Many skeletons have been found in the necropolis and have been studied by the IFAO, while some of the pottery and other artefacts from the site are on display in the Kharga Heritage Museum and in Cairo.

Modern Vices
Chicago-based group Modern Vices have an apparent tone of the older styles, putting modern twists on the likes of 50's croon. There's an aggression, but is complimented with swooning melodies. Think doo-wop, just with more fuzz and hints of psychadelia.

A Horse, Of Course
August 5, 2013
When I was feeling a little sick or had a touch of the well-know "pip", my mom would put me to bed and give me a little chicken soup.
Chicken soup cured everything in those days.
Rest, good food and fresh water plus a tincture of time constitute the basic cure for "pip-like" horse ailments; they're the closest thing to the chicken soup cure.
When they're not enough, however, call your veterinarian.
But how do you know if it's more than the "pip"?
By reading the horse's vital signs: temperature, respiration and pulse.
As you get to know your horse well, you'll recognize immediately when he isn't feeling up to par. That's the time to check the signs.
A normal temperature for a horse is 99 to 100 degrees. A temperature of 101 is common in foals, and a horse's temperature is normally slightly elevated in the late afternoon.
To check the horse's temperature, shake a standard mercury thermometer so the reading is well below the 90 degree mark. Lubricate the thermometer with some petroleum jelly and insert it full length into the horse's rectum. (Before inserting, it's a good idea to attach a long string to the thermometer….hang onto the string and the thermometer won't be lost.)
The thermometer should be left in for at least three minutes. Once you take the thermometer out, read it. You do know how to read a thermometer don't you? Practice rolling it until you can get an accurate reading every time.
Take your horse's temperature three times a day for three days to determine a "normal" for him; now don't forget his "normal."
The respiration rate is the number of times a horse inhales and exhales each minute. (That's two actions to get one rate.)
The average rate for the complete cycle for a horse at rest is 16 per minute. But, of course, your horse isn't average. So check his respiration rate several times a day for three or four days to establish another "normal."
The best way to determine respiration is to place your hand on the side of the rib cage and count the number of breathes taken in one minute. The average wrist-watch with a second hand will do the job nicely.
Another way to find the rate is to stand back from the horse and count the in and out motion of the rib cage or the opening and closing of the nostrils, while timing in the same manner.
If the horse has just been worked or is excited, the rate can climb to 30 or 40 and still be normal. The key, however, is to know the "resting" rate.
The pulse rate at rest is normally just a little more than double the respiration rate. So a horse with a 16 respiration rate would be expected to have a pulse of about 36 per minute. (As the respiration, the pulse will increase with stress or exercise, so get a baseline when the horse is at rest.)
The pulse is the throb or surge of force in the artery as the heart pumps blood through the body.
The easiest location to find the pulse is usually the artery that runs along the inner side of the horse's jaw. Other convenient locations are the back of the fetlock joint and the inside of the elbow.
It's a good idea to practice taking your horse's vital signs. The practice not only helps you read the signs accurately, but will establish the horse's baseline "normal."
The signs will vary a little depending on circumstances, but will always fall within a three or four-point range.
If there is a 10-point variance from normal, your "alert" button should be flashing.
The next time your horse has a touch of the "pip" take his vital signs. If he's in the normal ranges, rest, good food and water should perk him up.
But if he's not in the normal ranges, call your vet who will be impressed by your medical prowess as you've already started the diagnostic procedure.

Crete State Senator Laura Ebke continues to spearhead Nebraska's Convention of States Project in an effort to limit the power and jurisdiction the federal government has over states. She says the process continues to move along and she is learning more about the process.
Senator Ebke says, "We now have eight states that filed their applications. We are hoping that next year will be the year for Nebraska. The Convention of States Project is putting out a simulation in a couple of weeks out in Williamsburg, Virginia. Senator's Frieze and Lindstrom and myself are going to that as Nebraska representatives. It is not real but it will give us an idea of how the process will work."
Senator Ebke says the goal of Convention of States is to propose amendments to the Constitution which would require fiscal responsibility, ask for term limits and finally change some of the authority of the federal government and return power back to the states.
The entire process is not an easy one. Senator Ebke says thirty four states are required to sign on and applications for each have to match. If a convention is called each state has one vote. If there is a proposal that comes out of the convention you still have to take it back to the states and 38 state legislatures must ratify the amendment before it can become part of the Constitution.

Experienced Psychology Research Director
About this opportunity
Compare Therapies promotes therapeutic approaches for all of the mentally, emotionally and behaviourally challenging personal, interpersonal and social difficulties the we all have to deal with at various times in our lives. The focus is to resolve those issues naturally and effectively, and importantly, to do so by prioritising lasting natural healing and enabling growth.
The Change Your Past Foundation, through its core Compare Therapies project, seeks to foster the establishment a positive focus, one that promotes direct access for everyone to effective therapeutic treatments that have the capacity to assist us to actually resolve issues in these areas of our lives.
The CHANGE YOUR PAST Foundation is a registered community charity in Australia. We believe improved 'accessibility' and 'accountability' is the key leverage to bringing effective therapeutic assistance to people who need it.
We are continually in the process of (Phase 1) collecting modalities worldwide that actually heal people from their mental disorders, and documenting their peer-reviewed published validation studies. Those treatments that have outstanding results, but possess only anecdotal evidence, require proper research and a trial (Phase 2). We seek experts to evaluate those modalities by developing and overseeing such trials and invite professionals with the relevant expertise and postgraduate researchers to do that and write up the trials and findings so that they can be published in professional journals. We will make the results of our validation research and our trials publicly available. You might be skilled and interested in contributing your expertise to either or both Phase 1 and Phase 2.
We are looking for a psychology research director to lead our Mental Health Treatment Evaluation team, a minimum 7 years' experience, perhaps who are early retired, and who have a professional level of English writing, document search and research skills. It would be good if the person has entrepreneurial flair and experience in a start-up organisation. Team engagement, communication, participation, initiative, creativity, achievement and leadership skills are important to us.
Are you also interested to become part of a game-changing, 21st century style of organisation proving enormously more appropriate and effective in the modern fast changing world? - one that allows you to be who you are in a work environment, expressing your complete and unique Self without any limitations or expectations? Can you match such freedom with entrepreneurial spirit, self-discipline and responsibility? Does working in a free-flowing team environment inspire you and is communication one of your strengths?
CHANGE YOUR PAST Foundation is being developed along the lines of a TEAL organisation where the emphasis is shifted to self-initiated and self-managed contributions by all members working independently and also at the same time in closely networked collaboration both in focussed collegiate cooperation on specific tasks, and also, being productively engaged broadly across the enterprise. Expected of everyone is the ongoing demonstration of active self-developed initiative in achieving valued outcomes that contribute to the overall purpose of the organisation.
That is, leadership is to be expressed by every individual, in contributing from their own unique skills and experience, complementing the different contributions made by others who are in the same way expert in their own areas and tasks.
Directors, Managers, Heads and Coordinators have a main responsibility to facilitate, encourage and support this open process and shepherd its constantly self-evolving coordination and creative direction, all networked together in mutually mindful and committed relationship, within the overall purpose of the organisation.
We don't need to point out the responsibility that comes with this position, the trust we would place in you. Geographic location isn't important to us. You don't need to be based in Victoria or Australia for that matter and can work from where-ever you want, being connected with the whole team via phone or video-conferencing when-ever required. We do not ask you to commit to or for a specific time, but we ask you to be part of a team and take responsibility for your role by progressing and delivering agreed outcomes within a prescribed time-line.
Benefits for you are that after 6 months active contribution we will certify your Achievement Portfolio and act as your CV referee.
So if you have the expertise, the passion and the desire to create a beautiful legacy, then get in touch.

University of Michigan athletic director Bill Martin will retire effective Sept. 4, 2010, the school announced Wednesday.
Martin, a former president of the United States Sailing Association, became director of athletics at Michigan in 2000, at first on an interim basis replacing Tom Goss. His retirement was announced in a letter to university President Mary Sue Coleman and then at a meeting with athletics staff, the university said.
"For nearly a decade, Bill has shown truly outstanding leadership as Athletic Director at the University of Michigan," Coleman said in a statement. "He has not only done a superb job of attracting top coaches for the full range of Michigan sports, but he has also assembled an excellent management team to oversee all aspects of athletics operations."
Coleman said Martin will remain director until a successor is chosen, then will remain a special adviser to her until retiring from the university in September.
He graduated in 1962 from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, and did graduate work at the University of Stockholm in Sweden and the University of Michigan. He and his wife, Sally, live in Ann Arbor and have two sons and three grandchildren.

> No longer shifts and look very nice, the player must be near center of the elevator and player cannot walk unless gHeight = 0
- • Level Change
- • Change screens by pushing up on a door and going through
- • Go through Doors
- • Change global variable for going through door to a hold the number of times that player goes enters the room (starting at "0").
> if that number is greater than 1 the player is returning to a room and should in the same state as when the player was left.
- • Fix the don't leave Background script to work on multiple hallways.
> The quick fix is to have sprite 1 through 5 be the only hallways and the test for the background the player is on.
- • Level Design: What will the key look like, where will it be found.
- • Level Design: Separate the level graphics to speed up level design
- • Badguy
- • Collision Detection – green goo when they are hit
- • Set sprite numbers that will be the bad guys so that movement will effect them
(100 to 119) the hotspots will be 120 to 139)
- • Player
- • Stop before leaving the background image
- • Left and right walk
- • Player run speed is too slow, the feet are animating faster than the screen is moving
- • Shoot sprite only effect other sprites if the the blend = 100
- • Fix needed; When running and shot is pressed TakenX slides while the shot animation plays. Shooting needs to stop the forward movement
- • Adding shooting sound and sprite effect
- • projectiles
- • Adjust the time limit for shooting, so that player can shoot faster.
- • Add the sound
- • Create Muzzle flashes for all the angle that player can fire.
- • get the art into the game
- • Add the code from Lamprey standoff to allow shooting high low and across.
