Candidate Profilles:Carlton City council
Carlton City council (Two seats) Wes Vork • Leola Rodd
Question 1: How does your past experience, job or education qualify you to serve on the Carlton City Council?
Question 2: What are the top three issues facing the city right now and how should they be addressed?
Question 3: Other than finding greater efficiencies, what areas would you look to trim first if there are unexpected budget deficits (for example, should the state choose to further cut Local Government Aid)?
Wes Vork
Question 1:
Having spent a great deal of my life in retail, I have come to understand that the customer and taking care of the customers' needs are number one. City government is no different: the residents and constituents are our customers and there is nothing more important than listening to and addressing their needs. After seeing how our residents reacted to and worked together when we were substantially challenged by the flood, I was – and remain – honored to represent the good folks of Carlton.
Question 2:
The main issues facing the city are recovering from the flood and water bills. While the city is back to normal from the flood on the surface, lots of infrastructure issues remain. We are working hard to address these issues and make sure we secure as much federal help as possible to take as much of the burden off local taxpayers as we can.
Water and sewer prices are a substantial issue for our residents. While some progress has been made, there are still things that can and need to be done to try to get these in line with other cities and areas.
Question 3:
The best thing to do is to be fiscally responsible and pro-active in this area rather than simply reacting. We have done things over the past three years that helped build a capital improvement fund which can be drawn on to help balance the budget in the event of cuts to local government aid without affecting the city's overall fund balance. We've taken steps to get city staffing in line with other cities our size plus smaller line item changes to the budget add up. We have been able to have very modest increases in the city tax levy over the past three years while maintaining the level of service our residents have come to expect.
Leola Rodd
Question 1:
I have been involved as a contributing citizen of Carlton for over 40 years, on the Carlton Hockey Association for 29 years and on the Board for over 20 years and with the committees for Carlton Daze, Carlton Community Christmas Celebration and Carlton Winterfest.
I have a bachelor's degree in Home Economics and Communications from the College of St. Scholastica, and a licensure for a community education director from St. Cloud State. I was the community education director and taught Home Economics in the Carlton School District for 17 years. I have served Carlton for nine years as a council member and mayor.
Question 2:
I think the biggest challenge is maintaining a balanced budget and still providing services to the taxpayers. In the past we have had to make some difficult decisions to balance the budget, and will continue to monitor it and do the best job we can for the citizens of Carlton.
Another challenge for our community is encouraging businesses to locate in Carlton. We must continue to promote the positive aspects of Carlton and work with new businesses in their process of locating in our city.
Another issue for our community is continuing to repair streets, sewer pipes and other maintenance since the flood in June. The city administration, public works and fire department have been doing an excellent job of repairing and maintaining the infrastructure of Carlton.
Question 3:
Over the last 4-5 years we have anticipated that additional cuts could possibly occur and have taken steps to cut back. We no longer have a night watchman, fire chief or a part time person in our city offices and have cut hours for our part time public works person. We have looked at our levy and tried to keep it as consistent as possible so we don't face any big jumps.

This restaurant serves up all kinds of pizzas with a variety of different toppings.
I ordered off the menu, picking a combo - pepperoni, basil, olives, and
sliced tomatoes - that even seemed unusual to me.
But the thin-crust pizza, which I asked to be made gluten free, was great.
Can you guess which Southbury restaurant made this pie?
I will reveal this answer on Monday afternoon.
Have fun trying guess the correct restaurant!!

Chinatown - Cho Lon, Ho Chi Minh City

Chinatown - Cho Lon, Ho Chi Minh City
Built in 1824 by fishermen from Hainan island of China, the temple was set up as a place of cultural exchange for Chinese and Vietnamese communities. In the temple, besides various wooden carvings made by Chinese craftsmen, there are six ancient lacquer paintings depicting the story of Luc Van Tien, a 19th-century Vietnamese epic poem penned by the blind scholar Nguyen Dinh Chieu.
It's considered one of the most recognizable and influential epic poems in Vietnamese history, second perhaps only to Nguyen Du's The Tale of Kieu. The poem praises the power of true love, applauds bravery and extols justice (it could be compared to Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe).
On the way to the national examinations, student Luc Van Tien meets a group of wicked robbers pillaging a palanquin in which a beautiful girl called Kieu Nguyet Nga is traveling. The heroic Tien dispatches the robbers and owing him her life, the girl swears to be faithful only to him. But then Nga's parents demand she marries another man, who is extremely rich.
Nga refuses and rather than betray her promise to Tien she jumps into a river along with a portrait of Luc Van Tien she painted. At the time, Luc Van Tien is sightless and faces troubles of his own but both Tien and Nga survive and are eventually reunited (Tien even recovers his eyesight!) and live happily ever after.
Created with perfect traditional techniques these paintings at Quynh Phu clubhouse are small but most vivid. "The set of lacquer paintings was offered [to the clubhouse] in 1953 by an international restaurant in old Saigon. Many Chinese people love the story of Luc Van Tien because it signifies the dutiful and loyal moralities of man. So we hung the story here to advise our young generations," says Tran Van Kiem, from the clubhouse's managing board.
After leaving Quynh Phu I drive for about five minutes to Minh Huong Gia Thanh Temple at 380 Tran Hung Dao street. A large temple with no yard, it is dedicated to four saints, Tran Thuong Xuyen, Nguyen Huu Canh, Trinh Hoai Duc and Ngo Nhan Tinh, who were all generals and mandarins that reclaimed and developed the land of Saigon-Gia Dinh (now known as the area of Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai province) in the past. The temple was built in 1789 by 81 ancestors of the Chinese Ming dynasty.
Over 3,000 Chinese people who pledged loyalty to the Ming dynasty in China, fled when the Qing dynasty came to power. The refugees came to Vietnam by boat after 1679 and settled in an area known as Gia Thanh, around Tran Hung Dao street today. When I arrive the main gate of the temple is almost closed so I go inside through a small gate by a café (several households have encroached on this ancient site in modern times).
The word 'Minh Huong' in Chinese means the village of Ming people or 'Bright village'. The temple is vivid evidence that this is the oldest village in Chinatown. Besides a wide range of ancient objects and sacred items, the temple still keeps over 3,000 invaluable pages of documentation in Chinese and ancient Vietnamese scripts about the lifestyle, culture and trading activities of people in the past.
Continuing down the street, I find a few old shops selling red ribbons, dragon and lion heads as well as costumes and masks for traditional Chinese opera. These shops easily stand out from the neighbouring shops selling jeans, western style dresses and electrical appliances. "We still live off our traditional job – making costumes for traditional dances and performances though it's rather hard to earn money now," says Thien, the owner of Phuc Thuan shop. "Our family has been doing this for four generations and I don't want to stop!"
Stepping off the main street, ducking down smaller roads and narrow alleys, I come to Nguyen Trai street, which runs parallel with Tran Hung Dao. I find Thien Hau Pagoda, one of the most popular tourist destinations around. The pagoda is well-known for its wonderful examples of Chinese architecture.
Cantonese Vietnamese residents built the temple dedicated to the protector-goddess of seafarers – Mazu (in Mandarin Chinese or Ma-tsu) who is also known in Cantonese as Thien Hau (Tianhou in Mandarin Chinese, literally 'Queen of Heaven') in 1760.
Mazu is a popular goddess among the Chinese living on the southeastern shore of China. She is worshiped along the Fujian and Guangdong coastline and the island of Hainan in China and also in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The Mazu statue with a darkened face sits solemnly in the middle of the temple. She is dressed like a Chinese empress with an imperial robe with a dragon motif and seated on a throne in a formal position while holding an official placard. Local worshippers come in and out in great numbers. All of them have a decent and dignified carriage. Their faces are serious and respectful when moving towards the altar laden with food offerings and fresh flowers. However, I am most impressed with the large incense-coils which hang over my head and create a swirling fog of incense.
After wandering around so many temples my stomach starts to rumble. Thankfully there is exquisite Chinese food everywhere in Cho Lon so I head off to enjoy a large bowl of noodles and a basket of fried wonton at Hung Ky restaurant on Tran Hung Dao street, which is the perfect end to my trip through Cho Lon.

We all know the best parts of the school day: recess, naptime and, of course, lunch! There are concerns, however, that lunchtime over the years might have become too much about fun and less about nutrition.
Beverages are an enormous part of our lives. We have coffee to wake us up or use as an excuse to meet a new date, tea to relax at bedtime, drinks with friends and family for special occasions, and juice with breakfast.
Pills. Capsules. Powders. Tablets. Sigh. While these are great options for many consumers, others are looking to add a little spark to their dietary regimens. Fortunately, functional foods offer a great option for those who want to boost their diet with foods that are delicious and extra nutritious.
If you're interested in growing your grocery sales, try planting some seeds in the vegan section. Though vegans comprised a small group of shoppers years ago, a 2006 poll indicates it has branched out to include nearly 1.6% of all Americans (1). At roughly 4.2 million people, that's about the population of the entire island of Puerto Rico!
Everyone has been faced with the dilemma of whether to choose convenience over health. Luckily, consumers don't have to choose anymore, especially when it comes to healthy snacking on-the-go. Companies are recognizing the need for healthy, portable snacks and creating new formulations and packaging to make life easier for us all.
The next time you catch a client looking longingly at your chocolate selection, remind them that good things come to those who indulge wisely. Many of our industry's most succulent delicacies not only treat our mouths, but they also boost our spirits and give our bodies nutrition.

Madison Bumgarner made history last week when he gave up hits to the first eight guys he faced. Today he made a little history as well with a career-high eleven strikeouts. Seven of his final nine outs (the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings) were by strikeout. It was a great show by the young lefty. The old lefty, Jeremy Affeldt, then struck out five of the six batters he faced in his perfect two-inning save. That's 16 strikeouts for the hapless Indians today, and only four runs scored in the series. The Giants plated a whopping eight runs in the three games, let's hope they saved some of this month's allotment for the upcoming road trip.
The doubleheader in Chicago on Tuesday will feature the return of Barry Zito. Erstwhile number two man Jonathan Sanchez has been DL'd for some official medical reason but it seems more likely to be a brief mental health holiday for the mercurial southpaw. The Giants seem to use the disabled list as a way to avoid roster decisions, which is fine by me as the Zito quandary will take some time to sort out. I'd like to see him get in a couple of quality starts and put the pressure on Sanchez for a roster spot. I suppose the odd man out is Guillermo Mota if both Sanchez and Zito perform. Either one could work out of the 'pen and give the team a lot of flexibility. I'd miss Mota, actually. He endeared himself to me with those gritty long relief appearances and general willingness to take the ball in any situation and do what needs doing. He's pitched in almost 700 games in his 13 years, all in relief.

New York City (June 28, 2007) – Live Earth Founder Kevin Wall joined with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Alliance for Climate Protection CEO Cathy Zoi today to announce the Live Earth Call to Action – a series of commitments that Live Earth will be asking people across the globe to make to combat the climate crisis. Wall also announced that there are going to be more than 6,000 satellite Live Earth events taking place in more than 100 nations around the world on July 7th in support of Live Earth.
July 7th Concerts to Call on Millions at Over 6,000 Live Events, Billions of Broadcast Viewers Across All 7 Continents to Commit to Bold Actions
Al Gore Reads the Live Earth Pledge EDITOR'S NOTE: Live Earth video package, including sound bites from Gore and Wall, is available at www.thenewsmarket.com/liveearth. Today's press conference will also be available later this afternoon. Registration and video is free to the media. New York City (June 28, 2007) – Live Earth Founder Kevin Wall joined with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Alliance for Climate Protection CEO Cathy Zoi today to announce the Live Earth Call to Action – a series of commitments that Live Earth will be asking people across the globe to make to combat the climate crisis. Wall also announced that there are going to be more than 6,000 satellite Live Earth events taking place in more than 100 nations around the world on July 7th in support of Live Earth. In addition to providing over 100 simple actions people can take in their daily lives, which will have a tremendous positive impact when carried out on a mass scale, Live Earth will ask people to support a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 and a comprehensive international treaty on global warming by 2009. â€Å"If we are going to solve this crisis, we have to commit, and we have to do it now. Live Earth will ask people across the world to commit to changes in their lives and to move other people, communities, companies and governments to reduce our carbon output by 90% by 2050 and ensure there's a new, global treaty on climate change by 2009,†Gore said. â€Å"Nations all over the world are making progress in tackling the climate crisis. But too many proposals fall short of the strong, decisive action that's needed. Individual nations alone cannot solve this crisis. The nations of the world must join together as one if we are to succeed.†Live Earth will ask people to commit to making changes at home, at work, while getting around, while shopping, in their communities and to urge changes by their governments. Through its â€Å"Answer the Call†campaign, people can make their commitments and find solutions against the climate crisis at liveearth.org, LiveEarth.MSN.com, or by sending a free text message of â€Å"SOS†to 82004. At Thursday's announcement in New York City, Gore, Wall and Zoi all signed Live Earth's 7-point pledge on the climate crisis: • To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth; • To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become â€Å"carbon neutral;†• To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2; • To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation; • To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal; • To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and, • To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century. The names of people making commitments and signing the pledge through their computers or cell phones on July 7th will be shown on the Live Earth web site, on the screens at the concerts, and on the global TV broadcasts. Wall noted that Live Earth and this pledge will reach a massive global audience through an unprecedented media architecture. â€Å"Live Earth will jump-start an ongoing, global effort that will drive a critical mass of people to stand up and make challenging global warming a priority in their lives. Live Earth will be a launch event that no movement has ever seen before. Our message will reach all 7 continents with 8 official concerts, special broadcast events broadcast worldwide on TV, radio and the Internet. We've produced a collection of films, PSAs, and even an official Live Earth companion book. This massive multimedia platform will be the foundation for a movement that drives us to the tipping point,†Wall said. â€Å"If enough people come together to fight against the climate crisis, corporations and governments will have no choice but to act as well.†Live Earth is being broadcast on television and radio in more than 100 countries. For example, in the US, Live Earth will be broadcast on the NBC network, the Spanish language Telemundo network, the Sundance Channel, Bravo, MSNBC, and Universal HD. In the UK, Live Earth will be carried by the BBC and in Japan, in an unprecedented step, both NHK and Fuji TV will carry the shows. The shows will be broadcast globally by MSN at LiveEarth.MSN.com. MSN reaches 465 million unique visitors a month in 21 different languages. â€Å"The climate crisis requires a global solution. Live Earth is using an unprecedented media architecture to reach a global audience,†Wall said. In addition, Wall noted that Live Earth has produced more than 60 short films, 30 PSAs featuring stars like Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz, and a book – The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook by David de Rothschild that was released just this week – to serve as lasting media that will echo the Live Earth call to action delivered at the concerts on July 7. Wall said that after the announcement of Live Earth, people and organizations all over the world asked to host their own events to support the cause, and the â€Å"Friends of Live Earth†program was created to support these efforts. The events range from small gatherings in homes to public screenings of the Live Earth concerts for thousands of people to multi-day festivals in places ranging from Portland, Oregon to Zurich to Malta, all to be held on July 7th. To date, more than 6,000 Friends of Live Earth events have been organized in 109 countries. Visit liveearth.org to participate in the Friends of Live Earth program. â€Å"These 6,000 events are just the beginning,†Gore said. â€Å"If just one person from each event holds one of their own, we've doubled our reach. We think many more people will answer the call and help us spread the message of Live Earth even farther on July 7th and for long afterward.†The Alliance for Climate Protection, Al Gore.com, Avaaz, Defenders of Wildlife, ICLEI and the Sierra Club have joined with Live Earth to organize Friends of Live Earth events around the world. Evite is also encouraging its users to hold Live Earth viewing parties. â€Å"Live Earth is just the beginning of a massive global movement. It will be the first great note in a worldwide song demanding change that will be heard on every continent in every time zone.  And we will keep singing this song until meaningful actions are taken by our leaders to halt the climate crisis,†Zoi said. â€Å"Post Live Earth, The Alliance for Climate Protection is undertaking a 3-5 year campaign to educate people from all walks of life that the climate crisis is both critically urgent and something we can solve. We will take the momentum of Live Earth and continue to challenge people to take action in their own lives and demand action from their leaders --- actions that must deliver reductions in global warming pollution that will safeguard the planet and provide for a prosperous 21st century.† Prior to taking the helm at the Alliance, Zoi spent more than two decades in the energy and environmental sector in both the United States and Australia, including stints with environmental organizations, the New South Wales government, and the Clinton-Gore Administration. She was Group Executive Director at the Bayard Group in Sydney, Australia. Bayard is the world leader in smart metering systems with operations in 30 countries and revenues in excess of $1.2 billion. ABOUT LIVE EARTH Live Earth is a monumental music event that will bring together more than 2 billion people on July 7, 2007 to combat the climate crisis. Live Earth will stage concerts in New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg and Hamburg, and will feature more than 150 of the world's best music acts – a mix of both legendary music acts like The Police, Genesis, Bon Jovi and Madonna with the latest headliners like Kanye West, Kelly Clarkson, Black Eyed Peas and Jack Johnson. Live Earth's 24 hours of music across 7 continents will deliver a worldwide call to action and the solutions necessary to answer that call.

HP Catalyst Grant
National University - HP Catalyst Project
National University has joined the "Multi-Versity" consortium to explore novel ways to provide faculty and learners new game development learning opportunities in STEM+ areas. Tools and techniques developed through this grant will provide faculty with innovations in synchronous, semi-synchronous and asynchronous online teaching and learning opportunities with tools and processes that can be employed in STEM+ education. In addition, this grant will support collaboration among global cohorts of STEM+ related teaching faculty by exchanging information through hosted servers currently established at the National University. This faculty working on this grant will have complete access and use of this laboratory through which the information, and programs developed will be delivered to global STEM+ related teaching faculty.
Desired Goal
This project expands on successes from a previous HP Leadership Grant, linking real-world engineering experiences with video game design teaching methodology to provide learners virtual apprenticeships. The Game Design and Technology Learning Collaborative, a sandbox for teaching and learning, will create and host an international platform for educating and collaborating with teachers and learners to implement this game design methodology for STEM+ education. This will provide educators with:
- Methodologies with examples using game theory in STEM+ education
- Mapping game principles and examples to course content developed through this Collaborative
- Techniques and technologies for implementing international collaboration using advanced learning experience (synchronous, semi-synchronous and asynchronous classrooms)
- Technologies for creating student produced games into learning objects that can be reused across courses in multiple universities
- Building blocks to extend outreach to precollege, at risk and marginalized students through existing partnerships with Learning for Life and AmeriCorps Teachers
- A repository to host and share learner games using National University's network
- An experimental 3D immersive learning environment to allow expansion and distribution of student created games
We will validate, present and publish our results extensively.

Invention Impact Inventor Bio A native of Budapest, Hungary, Laszlo was working as a journalist when he noticed a fundamental difference between two types of ink. Ink for fountain pens was easy to smudge because it needed time to dry, yet ink used in newspaper printing presses dried much faster, leaving dry paper with a smudge-free product. He tried using the newspaper printing ink in a fountain pen but found it was too thick to flow through the tip.

Europe strikes: is austerity the answer?
In Europe, with all governments taking a belt-tightening attitude towards sorting out the financial crisis, and with workers taking to the streets across the Continent, is austerity the real solution?

Technical Analysis Secrets for Beating the Market
Part of the Technical Analysis For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Technical analysis offers traders an edge to stay ahead in the market and improve your trading skills. So what are the top technical analysis ideas you need to know? Here are 15 technical analysis secrets to becoming a skilled technical analysis trader:
Get an edge — get some technical indicators. One technical indicator is better than none; just using the 200-day moving average on the Dow or S&P would have saved your bacon in all the recent bear market downturns. Use the confirmation principle — multiple indicators — to improve your odds. No indicator is a magic bullet, but don't demand so much confirmation from so many indicators that you hardly ever get a signal — analysis paralysis. Use indicators that work well together without duplicating the ruling concept.
Know what your indicators are measuring. Understand the crowd sentiment underlying your technical indicators. Take an empirical approach. See what you're looking at on the chart. Don't let wishful thinking skew your vision. Accept the evidence of your eyes. When you misinterpret a chart, go back and find what you missed.
Use multiple time frames to get the big picture. Look at weekly charts as well as daily and smaller time frame charts.
Trade with the trend. If the security is trending upward, buy it. When it stops trending upward, sell it. If you don't know what's going on, don't trade. Don't fall into the "value trap" — that a high-quality security will come back after a fall. It may, but you may have to live a long time to see it happen. While you're waiting, you're missing opportunities to build capital.
Tune out the prune-faced naysayers who say "market timing doesn't work." Maybe it doesn't work for them, but millions of people use technical analysis in one form or another today. Algorithmic trading and high-frequency trading would not dominate all major markets if exploitable chart patterns did not exist.
Treat trading as a business. You can beat the index averages. And you can make extraordinary profits in securities markets. But you have to strive for excellence in your analysis and in managing the trade. You are up against serious professionals who want to take your money; don't go into the ring with a hobbyist's mindset.
Trade for the right reason — to make money. If you're trading for entertainment or to prove some philosophical or political point, stop and choose a more appropriate activity to serve those goals.
Use fundamentals to select securities, not to trade them. Get as much fundamental information as makes you comfortable, but at the end of the day, use it to select securities, not to trade them.
Impose strict risk management controls. Technical indicators give you an advantage — the "trader's edge" — but no indicator is a crystal ball. Technical indicators are wrong — a lot — so you make up for imperfections in technical techniques by imposing strict risk-management controls. Don't lie to yourself about your track record. Examining losses may uncover a surprisingly simple way to avoid losses in the future. Examining gains may disclose some personal talent that you can build on.
Accept that you can't control the market but you can control yourself. Establish rules when you're unemotional for times when you are emotional to overcome bad decision making. Reduce trading after a big loss and a big gain alike. Pace your trading to the amount of money you have. Don't overtrade.
Never trade without a stop-loss order. Acknowledge that you will take losses, and control them ruthlessly to preserve capital. The biggest cause of losses isn't bad indicators; it's failure to admit your indicators are sometimes wrong. You can design a reasonable technical trading regime and still fail to make money if you don't control losses. If you can't tolerate any loss, you shouldn't trade at all.
Never trade without a profit target. Plan every trade. Establish your best-case profit as well as your worst-case loss. Trading and investing aren't gambling — they're a business, with probable outcomes that you can estimate. Take money off the table once in a while and put it somewhere safe. Capital allocated to trading is not "savings." It is always at some risk when it is actively placed in a market.
Chose expert advisors with great care. Do your own work first. Nobody else understands your risk appetite and tolerance for uncertainty the way you do. Everyone trades the same indicator on the same security a different way, and no one way is the right way. If you take guidance from gurus, figure out their strengths and weaknesses, and verify their work with your own. Don't take tips from anyone you have not pre-qualified. Don't give tips, either, unless you're quitting your day job to set up an advisory business.
Diversify. Trade several securities and types of securities to reduce the risk of a market catastrophe wiping you out.
Keep reading and exploring. The field of technical analysis is exploding in all directions. New combinations of indicators, new types of securities, and new trading technologies are being invented all the time. A lot of it is intimidating and frightening, but you never know when you might come across something that resonates with you — your own "Eureka!" moment.

The undefeated Hialeah Cougars 13U (135 pounds) tackle football team came from behind to defeat the Kendall Hammocks Warriors 24-14 for the Miami Xtreme Super Bowl title at Milander Park in Hialeah.
Trailing 14-8, Hialeah's Daniel Doriscar scored on a 30-yard run with 3:58 remaining in the third quarter to even things at 14. Matias Rodriguez kicked the winning 2-pointer with John Correa the holder.
Doriscar added a 62-yard touchdown run with 8:25 to go in the game, and Rodriguez converted his third 2-pointer for the 10-point cushion. Kyeshaad Pennywell and Dewayne Terry each had an interception. Pennywell also made a tackle for a loss, and Traveon West recorded a sack. Yeltsin Mora, the game Defensive MVP, had a tackle for a loss, made a key stop on fourth down and registered a big hit on kick coverage.
Hialeah beat Kendall Hammocks by a lot in their regular season meeting, but that didn't intimidate the Warriors, entering the Super Bowl. Jordon Donaldson scored to give Kendall Hammocks a 6-0 advantage in the first quarter. Davonte Montgomery kicked the 2-pointer with Michael Lopez the holder. In the second quarter, Michael Cox threw a quick short pass to Montgomery who raced 30 yards for the score, and the surprising Warriors led 14-0 late in the quarter.
With 22 seconds left before halftime, Hialeah quarterback Trevon Fowler, the game's Offensive MVP, raced 54 yards for a momentum-changing score. Rodriguez kicked the 2-pointer, and the Cougars trimmed the lead to six.
Donaldson had a key first down run on Kendall Hammock's second touchdown drive. The Warriors' Alejandro Fernandez had a tackle to thwart a reverse, and Misael Oropesa recovered a fumble.
Champions: Hialeah Cougars (13-0): Deandre Miles, Dewayne Terry, Jordan Coley, Isaiah Webster, Daniel Doriscar, Ricardo Gonzalez, Yeltsin Mora, Elijah Williams, Matias Rodriguez, Trevon Fowler, John Correa, Daydian Castillo, Alejandro Alvarez, Kyeshaad Pennywell, Jayden Simmons, Omar Graham, Brandon Quintero, Daniel Johnson, Vince Mack, Rudibo Jones, Traveon West, Manuel Trueba, Damian Arguello, Robert Lauderdale, Skyler Richardson, Abraham Vega, Kevin Perez, Wilbert Julien, Christian Saldarriaga and Janmark Dalmau. Coaches Efrain Spanky Torres, Dudley Richardson, Dawan Alexander, Dewayne Terry, Eric Howard, Rudibo Jones and Manuel Trueba.
Runners-up: Kendall Hammocks Warriors (10-3): Sharmar Munroe, Derek Gonzalez, Alejandro Fernandez, Michael Lopez, Jordon Donaldson, Davonte Montgomery, Michael Cox, Jorian Jolley, Joseph Hernandez, Austin Tobar, Dereyis Whipple, Joseph Hardy, Misael Oropesa, Anthony Barrabi, Antoine Wright, Anthony Cruz, Jovan Cruz, Nicholas Constantakis, Yoniel Garcia Lorenzo, Joshua Lococo, William Garcia, Alejandro Gil, Matthew Gonzalez, Joel Rodriguez, Bryan Obando, Daniel Milian and Brian Chico. Coaches Raul Gonzalez, Alex Hernandez, David Jauregui, Michael Cox and David Lococo.
Game notes: In a rematch of last season's Super Bowl, Hialeah won for the second consecutive season.
Head Coach Efrain Spanky Torres moved to Port St. Lucie two years ago but made travel time for practices and games each week.
Kendall Hammocks coaches chose the game's Defensive and Offensive MVPs for Hialeah. Also during the awards ceremony, they noted the advantage of having a 2-point kicker.

BRIGHAM YOUNG, HIS TWENTY-SIX WIVES AND FIFTY-SlX CHILDREN. The Arch Ruler of the Mormon Church and the Greatest Ex-ample of Its Possibilities in Wifely Making. JOSEPH SMITH was the founder and first president of the Mormon Church, but Brigham Young, who succeeded to the presidency, was its greatest exponent. He brought out the plural wife feature in all its glory. He would do away with the unmarried woman. He believed that destiny decreed marriage for all, but that arbitrary and senseless customs had interfered very much with its car-rying out. He deplored the fact that 2,000,000 women of marriageable age in England could not get husbands, and that in the United States even a larger number were without a consort and a protector. He believed in the family, and his 56 children are proof of the depth and the strength of this belief. He believed the only way the enlightened races could eventually control the semi-civilized was by the marriage of every person of suitable age free from intel-lectual or physical deformities. He averred that if polygamy had been adopted by England at the beginning of the century her population would have been 75,000,000 instead of 21,000,000 in 1870. If the United States had done the same thing at the same time her inhabitants would number 125,000,000 in-stead of 51,000,000. Brigham Young and his strange belief and remarkable career are interesting now because Congress has shut out Brigham Roberts, a confessed polyga-mist, elected to the House of Repre-sentatives from Utah. Public sentiment is overwhelmingly with Congress in this exclusion policy, as Roberts is a de-fiant law breaker, and when this does not avail poses as a martyr. But it is for the great Brigham and his 26 wives that this article is intended. THE ILLUSTRIOUS BRIGHAM was a Vermonter by birth, of Method-ist parentage, born in Whitingham, Windham county, June 1, 1801. In 1804 his parents moved to Sherburne, Che-nango county, N. Y. Here he passed 20 years and at 22 joined the Methodist Church. In 1824 he married Mariam Works, daughter of Asa Works, of Au-relius, Cayuga county, N. Y. She was also a Methodist. In 1829 they moved to Mendon, Monroe county, N. Y., where they embraced the tenets of Mor-monism in April, 1832. Five months later Mrs. Young died, leaving two chil-dren. The second wife was Mary Ann An-gell, daughter of James Angell. She was born in 1803, in Seneca, Ontario county, N. Y" and reared in Provi-dence, R. I. She was of Puritan an-cestry and a Free Will Baptist. She deferred marriage until she should meet "a man of God," one in whom she could confide and pursue the duties of an active Christian life. She found her ideal in Brigham. She wedded in 1834 at Kirtland, O., the gathering place of the Saints. She cheerfully approved of her husband having other wives, be-cause she believed it was of divine reve-lation. She lived 45 years as a wife, left six children and died in her 80th year. Lucy Decker was the third. She was a daughter of Isaac Perry, born in Phelps, Ontario county, N. Y., in 1822. She was married at Nauvoo, Ill., in 1842, and settled in Salt Lake City in 1848. She died in 1890 and left seven children. Whitesboro, Oneida county, N. Y., furnished wife four in Harriett Eliza-beth Cook Campbell, daughter of Archi-bald Cook Campbell. She was con-verted to Mormonism by John P. Green at 9 years of age, having been born in 1824. She was married in Nauvoo by Joseph Smith. One son was the fruit of this union. She is living. Brig-ham's first New England wife was Augusta Adams, born in Lynn, Mass., in 1802. She was married in 1843 in Nauvoo. She died childless in 1886. NEW YORK FURNISHED 10 WIVES. The next three wives were from New York State, our commonwealth fur-nishing 10 of the 26 drafted for Brigham Young— Clara Decker, daughter of Isaac Perry Decker, born in Phelps, Ontario county, in 1828. Married in 1844. She had four children and died in 1889. Louise Beman, daughter of Alva Be-man, born in Livonia, Livingston county, in 1815, was wife seven. She married Joseph Smith in 1841. Upon his death she was sealed to Young. She bore him four children and died in 1850, aged 35. Clara Chase Ross, daughter of William Ross, was born in Willard, Seneca county, in 1814. She married in 1844 at Nauvoo. She died in 1858, leav-ing four children. The eighth was supplied by Ohio. She was Emily Dow Partridge, daughter of Edward Partridge, of Painesville, Lake county, born in 1824. Her parents joined the church when she was 7 years old and she was baptized at 8. She married Joseph Smith, as did her sister, Eliza. When Smith died, Emily was sealed to Brigham in 1844. She bore him seven children. She died last week. Susan Snively, daughter of Henry Snively of Woodstock, Shenandoah county, Va., born in 1815, was the ninth celestial bride. She was born in 1844 and died in 1892, minus offspring. Maine supplied candidate eleven in Olive Grey Frost, daughter of Aaron Frost, of Bethel, Oxford county. She was born in 1816. She was sealed to Joseph Smith and when he died to Brigham. This was in 1845. Emmeline Free, next wife, was daughter of Absolom Free, of Bucyrus, Ohio, born in 1826, and wedded in 1845. She had 10 children and died in 1875. Pennsylvania's first contribution was Margaret Pierce, daughter of Robert Pierce, of Ashton, Delaware county. She was born in 1823. She married Mor-ris Whitesides in 1844. He soon died and Brigham was taken in 1845. She bore him his 50th child, a son, Brigham Morris. She is living. Naamah Kendel Jenkins Carter, daughter of Billings Carter, was next. She was born in Wilmington, Mass., in 1821, and reared in Peterboro, N.H. She married John Saunders Twiss in 1845. He soon died and Brigham suc-ceeded to his place— in 1846. She is liv-ing. The third Massachusetts wife was Ellen Rockwood, daughter of Albert P. Rockwood, of Holliston, Middlesex county. She was born in 1829, married in 1846, and died in 1866. CANADA SUPPLIED ONE. Maria Lawrence, daughter of Ed- ward Lawrence, of Toronto, was the first and only Canadian wife. She mar-ried Joseph Smith in 1843 and three years later Brigham. New Jersey was the birthplace of her successor, Mrs. Young. She was Mar-tha Bowker, daughter of Samuel Bow-ker, of Mount Holly, Burlington county. Born in 1822 and married in 1846. She was a direct descendant of William Penn's colony of Quakers. She died in 1890. Margaret M. Alley, the next bride, was a daughter of George Alley, of Lynn, Mass., and born in 1825. She was married in 1846 and had two children. She died in 1852. Illinois yielded up Lucy Bigelow, daughter of Nahum Bigelow, of Charleston, Coles county. She was born in 1830 and married in 1846 at the age of 16. She was the youngest wife of the prophet. It is said of her that she worked fervently and continuously for the redemption of the living and the dead. She has done missionary work for Mormonism in the Sandwich Isl-ands. She is living. The Puritans gave another wife in Nina Diantha Huntington, daughter of William Huntington, of Watertown, Jefferson county, N. Y. being a lineal descendant of Simon Huntington. She was born in 1821 and 1835 went with her father's family to Kirtland, O., where she received the gift of tongues. On one occasion in the Kirtland Temple she heard a whole invisible choir of angels singing till the house seemed filled with innumerable voices. Here she also received the gift of interpre-tation. She married Henry Jacobs, but soon left him. Then she was sealed to Joseph Smith. Later to Brigham Young. One child by the latter. Still living. Another Massachusetts wife was Eliza Roxey Snow, daughter of Oliver Snow, of Becket, Berkshire county, born in 1804 and of Puritan ancestry. She was reared in Mantua, Portage county, O. She married Joseph Smith in 1842. In 1849 she married Brigham. She died in the Lion House, Salt Lake City, in 1887. England gave Brigham a helpmeet in Eliza Burgess, daughter of John Burgess, of Manchester. She was born in 1828. She married in 1850. One son was born to them. She is living. Harriett Barney, daughter of Royal Barney, of Cleveland, O., born in 1837, was divorced from her husband to mar-ry Young. One son was born to them. She is living. MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND'S AUNT. The 24th wife was Harriett Amelia Folsom, daughter of William H. Fol-som, of Buffalo, and the aunt of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, was born in 1838. She was married in 1863 and is living. Mary Van Cott, daughter of John Van Cott, of Elmira, N. Y., was born in 1844. Brigham was attracted to her because she closely resembled his first wife, who was handsome, and they were married in 1865. One child was the issue. She died in 1884. The last and 26th was Ann Eliza Webb, daughter of Chauncey W. Webb of Nauvoo, Ill., born in 1844. She mar-ried, a Gentile at 19, was divorced, and wedded Brigham in 1868. Becoming dis-satisfied she was divorced from the prophet seven years afterward and then excommunicated from the church. This embittered her against Mormonism and she took the platform to expose and denounce polygamy. Her lectures worked great harm to the church and did much to intensify popular opinion against its existence and propagation. She is now living in Boston. Brigham, full of years and of un-enviable notoriety and of wives and of children shuffled off this mortal coil in Salt Lake, August 29, 1877, leaving many widows to mourn his exit. He lived to see his $3,000,000 temple com-pleted and his numerous offspring pro-vided for sufficiently to keep the wolf from his door. But he was disturbed at the irruption of Gentiles into his do-main, for it foreshadowed the downfall of the iniquitous system he attempted to force upon the country. The funeral of Brigham was attended by 30,000 people, Utah making it a holi-day to allow the faithful to gather at the bier in Salt Lake City and pay re-spects to the greatest promoter of matrimony that ever did business in Uncle Sam's territory. In the group engraving of Brigham Young and 20 of his 26 wives, given on this page, is shown a picture of the Mormon Tabernacle to the left and one of the Mormon Temple to the right. Both are in Salt Lake City. The former is open for public worship, but the lat-ter is never entered except by the 12 apostles.

My Other Vehicle Was a Spacecraft
Now that the space shuttle has retired, astronauts are rediscovering the joys of flying airplanes.
- By Phil Scott
- Photographs by Robert Seale
- Air & Space magazine, July 2012
Robert Seale
David Wolf's first memory is of sitting in his uncle's lap in an open-cockpit biplane (a Stearman). When he was 25, he learned how to fly in a Piper Warrior and a Pitts Special. A former U.S. Air Force flight surgeon, Wolf has flown on four space missions, including a 128-day stay aboard Russia's Mir space station, from September 25, 1997, to January 31, 1998. As an active-duty astronaut, he has access to NASA's T-38 Talon jets, which he flies a minimum of four hours a month. "Everyone I know who has flown the T-38, even those who fly advanced fighters, has a special attraction for the Talon," says Wolf. "It just looks exactly right."
When he is not flying the T-38 on official business, he takes to the air in his black Christen Eagle biplane, which he keeps at Pearland Regional Airport (formerly Clover Field), outside of Houston. Though he says the Christen "can be a bit loud" and difficult to maintain due to the many bolts on the access panels, Wolf appreciates the Eagle's "old-style biplane structure and its strength and safety record." The airplane is a good vehicle for the aerobatics he loves. An experienced aerobatics competitor, Wolf will resume flying at international meets when his schedule allows. His favorite maneuver? "I have always loved the gracefulness, and zero-G portion, of the hammerhead," he says.

To fly is to fly, be it in the world's largest, heaviest glider (not counting the Canadian DC-10 'Gimley Glider', eh?). Going up and in orbit the shuttle was just a reaction-thrust powered containment vessel. Coming back into the atmosphere it was reborn as an airplane. Pilots NEED to fly, it is like breath, and indeed we do get 'grumpy' when grounded. Those 'little airplanes' aren't a comedown they are a reconnection to the basics of simple flight, and all of them a lot of fun. Oh, and those Grmmans, damn good simple, fun and effecient airplanes. I owned one in the past, and wish it was here with me now that I've retired myself.

Critically acclaimed artist and Masters of Fine Art (Photography) student Alexia Sinclair will exhibit her award winning photographic portraiture series 'The Regal Twelve' from today at The University Gallery.
'The Regal Twelve' series is a suite of pictures depicting historical females who have ruled their kingdoms, including Marie Antoinette, Queen Elizabeth I and Cleopatra.
It combines photography, illustration, European backdrops, fashion models, historical treasures and symbolic references, digitally montaged to create works based on historical truths.
Sinclair, 31, said the exhibition was the culmination of three years work.
"The photographs invite the viewer on a beguiling journey of imagined worlds that are actually based on historical truth," she said.
"I want people to ponder the fate of these fascinating powerful women as many of their voices have not been heard.
"The montaging of layers of photographs mimics the perfection of Renaissance painters - the way they approached painting is the way I approach photography.
"My influences range from Botticelli and de' Medici circle to contemporary couture fashion designers such as John Galliano and Alexander McQueen. All of the portraits are inspired by the styles and fashions of each monarch and are reinterpreted into a contemporary visual narrative."
In May this year Sinclair won the inaugural Harpers BAZAAR and Canon fashion photography award, with the pictures receiving acclaim for their professional finish and highly stylised looks.
Sinclair has been working as a fine art photographer and digital artist for over a decade and now works as a freelance artist on campaigns and commissions including working as a digital artist in New York.
Her previous works include the Women of the World series (Australia) in which she profiles University of Newcastle graduates Rowena and Juliana Foong, two of the three Foong sisters behind the fashion label High Tea With Mrs Woo.
The series also features fellow University of Newcastle graduate Gillian Bencke, the creator of Bencke, a label of wearable art and dolls.
'The Regal Twelve' will be shown at The University Gallery, Callaghan campus, the University of Newcastle, on 9/10 and 16/17 August from midday - 6pm. The official opening will be held Friday 10 August from 6 - 7.30pm.

I'll make this short.
Hello forum. I am a seeker of knowledge, hence my name. My search is never complete, so I am very inquisitive, I hope no one minds.
I enjoy gaining and sharing wisdom. I believe it is the richest form of happiness.
I have been roleplaying quite a bit in my former years. The creativity and imagination that goes into extensive writing is rather exciting. I also enjoy reading.
My goal here is to showcase my skills and also venture into the wonderful world of imagination. Put simply, to read, to write, and to enjoy myself and other's company, hence the point of this forum I would imagine.
Once again, greetings. Let's have fun together.

Good news for potheads making their annual trek to Black Rock, Nev. this week to celebrate Burning Man: A new study says that marijuana appears to fight infections. According to research published in the Journal of Natural Products, the five most common cannabinoid compounds in weed—tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol, cannabigerol, cannabinol and cannabichromene—can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Think MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which claimed more lives than AIDS in 2007 or, more recently, extensively drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis (XDR-TB.)
Researchers were unable to pinpoint exactly how the ingredients interact with bacterial targets. They called for rigorous clinical trials to determine the safety and effectiveness of cannabinoids as topical antiseptics and as antibacterial agents. Researchers stressed that certain strains of marijuana have high concentrations of nonpsychotropic cannabinoids (specifically CBD and CBG) and that these will be the focus of study for consumer use.* (Sorry to disappoint.)

"According to research published in the Journal of Natural Products, the five most common cannabinoid compounds in weedtetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol, cannabigerol, cannabinol and cannabichromenecan kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria."
"Researchers stressed that the marijuana's bacteria-fighting cannabinoids all have zero psychoactive effect."
Who are they kidding? Someone needs to get the facts right. Last I checked, at least THC and cannabidiol both are psychoactive; in fact, they are the two main psychoactive cannabinoids in the plant...
By Jove you are most correct...Perhaps what the writer meant was, with further research they may find a cannabinoid matrix that will no possess the psychoactive elements...Assuming that the psychoactive effects are not the responsible agent for the antibiotic properties...That would be something if the cannabinoids were getting the bacteria so high they just rolled over and died...Something to consider perhaps...

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisAs far as medical cannabis is concerned the government is lying. Clinical research in the US is severely restrained due to the current laws, yet much evidence exists today about the benefits of medicinal cannabis, so here are a few examples from NORML's publication 'Emerging Clinical Applications for Cannabis and Cannabinoids'.
Alzheimer's disease. A review of recent scientific literature indicates that cannabinoid therapy may provide symptomatic relief to AD patients while also moderating progression. (References, Ramirez et al. 2005, the Journal of Neuroscience 25; Eubanks et al. 2006 Molecular Pharmaceutics; Hampson et al. 1998, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 95; Science News. June 11, 1998; and more)
ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease. Writing in the March 2004 issue of the journal 'Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Other Motor Neuron Disorders' Investigators at the California Pacific Medical Center reported that the administration of THC prior and after the onset of ALS symptoms staved disease progression and prolonged survival in laboratory animals compared to untreated control specimens.

The aforementioned diseases are the new ones found where medical cannabis appears to be promising. Other diseases such as glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, nausea, side effects from cancer treatment, chronic pain, neuropathic pain, eating disorders and depression, just to mention a few. As with any medicine the dosage must be controlled by a physician.
The American College of Physicians has come out recently that past approaches and debate over cannabis have clouded science and prevented meaningful research. Many researchers have come forward in the past and have complained about the federal governments resistance into full research and making money available only to study the bad side. Does that remind anyone of the government's outright silencing of many scientists when it comes to global warming? If it don't fit the party line, obfuscate the truth. contd.
According to Bruce Mirken who works for the Marijuana Policy Project feels that the American College of Physicians' stand: " pulverized the government's two favorite myths about medical marijuana - that it's not supported by the medical community and that science hasn't shown marijuana to have medical value."
"In strict medical terms, marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume... Marijuana in it's natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within a supervised routine of medical care."
-Drug Enforcement Administration, Chief Administrative Law Judge Francis Young, NORML v DEA, 1988
We are currently entering the sixth year of the war in Iraq. It is another war perpetrated by a government that lied us into this quagmire and over two thirds of the country are demanding an end to this atrocity. The failed 94 year old war on drugs is also based on lies, perpetrated by the same special interest serving government, wasting your hard earned money! 60% of the population favor decriminalization of personal use and 75% of you support the idea of medical use, yet nobody speaks up. It is high time to stop this insanity, both at home and in Iraq. We Americans have the right to demand from our government that our taxes be spent wisely to benefit the public, not the Industrial Prison Complex.
We have the right to demand the truth from public servants, not propaganda, lies and favors to the special interests.

Fact Sheet Understanding the brain: the National Science Foundation and the BRAIN Initiative
A comprehensive understanding of the brain remains unknown. Credit and Larger Version
September 3, 2013
Researchers, please find more information on NSF's role in the BRAIN Initiative here.
On April 2, 2013, the White House announced an initiative called Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN), which includes the participation of the National Science Foundation (NSF). You may wonder what this means.
Part of what it means is an opportunity to continue a national conversation about an important topic: the brain. To help with the dialogue, here are short answers to some basic questions.
What is the BRAIN Initiative?
The BRAIN Initiative is an effort by federal agencies and private partners to support and coordinate research to understand how the human brain works.
Why do we need to understand the brain?
Understanding the brain means knowing the fundamental principles underlying brain structure and function. The research required to do so will accelerate scientific discovery and innovation, promote advances in technology and bolster U.S. economic competitiveness.
New neuroscience discoveries will enable us to foster brain health; engineer solutions that enhance, replace or compensate for lost function; improve the effectiveness of formal and informal educational approaches; promote learning across the lifespan and build brain-inspired smarter technologies for improved quality of life.
What is NSF's role in brain research?NSF has a long history of support for brain science that has produced breakthroughs in brain imaging, neurotechnologies, modeling and genomics, and is uniquely positioned to lead an innovative, multi-disciplinary effort by scientists and engineers to advance a comprehensive understanding of brain structure and function.
NSF invests in high-risk, high-reward exploratory and transformational scientific and engineering research with emphasis on integration across scales and disciplines.
Why now?
While our knowledge of brain anatomy and how brain cells use chemical and electrical signals to communicate with one another has grown considerably, we are only beginning to understand how those signals interact to give rise to thoughts, processes and behaviors.
Now is the time for a comprehensive approach that combines new discoveries from a variety of fields, including brain anatomy, imaging and function as well as cyberinfrastructure. Understanding the brain has been identified as one of five longstanding and fundamental questions, or "grand challenges," for future research.
What do we need to do this?
How will the BRAIN Initiative affect programs at NSF?
NSF invests tens of millions of dollars in neuroscience and cognitive science research across many disciplines. NSF will continue to make major investments in fundamental science across disciplines and in innovative technologies to accelerate discovery that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain.
When can the scientific community expect to learn more about NSF's research goals for the BRAIN Initiative?
Information will be added to NSF.gov in coming months. Follow our social media accounts for #brain updates.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering. In fiscal year (FY) 2012, its budget was $7.0 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and other institutions. Each year, NSF receives about 50,000 competitive requests for funding, and makes about 11,500 new funding awards. NSF also awards about $593 million in professional and service contracts yearly.

Hello, everyone. I have a qutestion about using resource hacker and XP original CD. I was trying to make some modification in the Original XP CD. What I was trying to do was:
Change the menu string on the screen that comes up, when I put Original XP CD and pages of screens that related to those, to what i wanted.
For it you'll have to edit "WinNTBBU.dll" file which can be found in "I386" directory.
When I opened that file with Resource Hacker, it gave me some errors for most of strings. What should I do?
I didnt understand. Please be more specific about the problem and errors. When are you getting the error? After compiling?
I get error, when i clicked certain string number, in certain number of string folder or something like that.
Now thats strange. You should not get any error unless you compile the script. Can you pls post a screenshot of the error? Upload the image at http://imageshack.us and post the URL here.
Only thing is that I'm using Asian version of Resource Hacker.
Don't trust on any other version. Download the official Resource Hacker from here.
Thanks everyone. My problem is gone now. Now I have problem with edtiting original XP CD menu that comes up when I put original XP CD. I wanted to change the menu string or text and the links of them to what I wanted to change with. Anyone have any ideas about it?
^^ Of course. I have changed the backgorund, the text, everything in that menu.
You have to edit "WinNTBBU.dll" file which can be found in "I386" folder.
I think that you might have miss understood what I was talkign about. I wasn't talking about the screen that is installing XP. I meant the screenshot that i put bottom of these.
^^ ah i c. That menu and resources are stored in "Setup.exe" file but its a compressed EXE file and can't be edit to change all resources.
What you can do is, create your custom Setup.exe file with new buttons, images, text, etc and then place it in the Setup folder. Following software can be used for it:
Thanks for info. The thing is that I have tried that software. Only thing is that I could only use trial version, unless I actually buy the full version, which cost me abour like couple of hundreds of dollors, and I'm still a student.
