4-1/4" Wide x 4-1/4" tall x 2-3/8" deep, high-output, electric fan improves gas mileage and boosts overall performance by maintaining proper airflow to your vehicle's radiator. Includes standard mounting kit.
Whereas belt-driven fans use up power from the engine to turn, electric fans do not, thus removing any unnecessary load and increasing both fuel economy and horsepower. In addition, you do not have to worry about an electric fan's slowing down at low RPM, as many belt-driven fans do, so you are guaranteed sufficient airflow regardless of the vehicle speed.
Before purchasing an electric fan, be sure to determine the CFM (cubic feet per minute) requirements for your engine. And remember, engines that have been modified or vehicles often used for towing may require additional CFM. There is no limit to the number of fans you can install, as long they all fit appropriately and are mounted on the same side of your radiator so that they do not cancel each other out.
Two types of turn-on sources are available for this fan. The Derale Lighted On/Off Switch for Electric Fans (D16740) allows for manual control of your fan so that you can choose when to turn it on and off. Thermostatic controls, on the other hand, send a signal to the fan, directing it to shut off when fluid temperatures reach an appropriate level, thus saving power. Once the temperature climbs again and additional cooling is needed, the fan is automatically turned back on. Thermostat switches can be single-stage with pre-set temperatures - D16735, D16738, D16739, D16720 and D16721 - or adjustable - D16778 and D16779.

Two Injuries to potential first round choices
After suffering from tendinitis in his right leg, Northwestern's Loren Howard 's 2005 season seemed up in the air. But after having surgery to correct the situation, it was Howard himself who determined his fate for this year by announcing his transfer to Arizona State .
Only a couple of days into practice for the upcoming season, Wildcat coach Randy Walker was quoted as saying Howard, ''was not the same player he was two years ago.'' Opting for season ending knee surgery late last week, Howard decided to rehabilitate his knee in the town he hails from, Phoenix, and told NU coaches of his pending transfer to Arizona State. Northwestern hoped Howard would lead the defense this season after missing the first six games last year because of a severe ankle injury. A devastating force as a sophomore, Howard posted 8 sacks and 16 tackles for loss in 2003. This is Howard's third surgery in two years. Prior to the knee operation of last week he had procedures completed on both ankles. A potential first round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, there had been rumblings for weeks now in scouting circles about Howard's playing status and health for the upcoming season. In other injury news, LSU running back Alley Broussard will also miss the 2005 season after suffering a knee injury in practice. A big, bruising ball carrier, Broussard's role in the offense was to be expanded for the upcoming season. Only a junior, Broussard carried a first round grade and would've competed to be the first back selected had he left for the NFL after a successful '05 campaign. |

New fad diet? 1960s research papers on benefits of eating Paleo rediscovered
A lone doctor put the pieces of the leaky gut/autoimmunity story together almost 50 years ago. He saw the connections between intestinal permeability and diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. He published his findings, he helped the people in his care…and his amazing insights eventually died, were buried and nearly lost to time. Loren Cordain shot me the following two papers from Dr. R. Shatin:
Shatin Paleo Diet 1964
Shatin Paleo Diet 1967
When I read those papers, particularly the first one, all I could do was think "WOW!!"
Dr. Shatin had pieced together the connection between gut permeability, celiac disease rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
In the early 1960's.
He also had a clear grasp of the influence of evolution in health and disease. I'd wager it was using the evolutionary template that lead to his subsequent observations regarding intestinal permeability and autoimmunity, but we have precious little information about Dr. Shatin. Dr. Ben Balzer did some digging and at present this is what we have:
Dear Dr Balzer
Thanks for your email enquiry of 13 April 2012 seeking information about Dr R Shatin a prominent doctor from The Alfred hospital who published some significant papers regarding diet and disease in the 1960′s which are of continuing interest to doctors and scientists who study the Paleolithic Diet and its relevance to modern health. It is pleasing to note your observation that Dr Shatin's studies are prescient indicating he is one of the many leading doctors and nurses who have made The Alfred a world class treating and teaching hospital.
I have checked The Alfred hospital's archives and found that Roman Shatin graduated as M. B. B. S. (Melb.) in 1935 and worked at The Alfred from 1947 to his retirement on 1 July 1977. His main role was Medical Clinical Assistant (1947 – 1955), Senior Medical Clinical Assistant (1956 – 1976) and Honorary Clinical Assistant (1976-77).
I am aware of one of Dr R Shatin's publications namely Man and His Cultigens – R Shatin (Scientific Australian March 1964).
I regret not having more information on Dr R Shatin and would appreciate your forwarding me any more information you come across. Although there have been a number of publications covering The Alfred's history (The Hospital South of the Yarra, A history of Alfred Hospital Melbourne from foundation to the nineteen-forties, Ann M Mitchell, the Griffin Press SA 1977 and Alfred Hospital Faces and Places Volume I, II, III & IV Published by The Alfred Heritage Committee between 1996 and 2010), I am surprised there is no mention of Dr Shatin who served the hospital for 30 years.
Thanks again for this enquiry.
Peter Frawley
The Alfred Hospital & Caulfield Hospital
16 April 2012
You folks in Australia should be damn proud. One of the biggest thinkers in the Paleo/Ancestral health scene is one of your own, and he was fighting the good fight a half century ago.
I want to look at some specific observations from the two papers and talk a little about how significant and prescient that material is/was. Let's look at the first paper first starting with an observation about the field of autoimmunity:
In the field of rheumatic disorders the currently prevailing theory of autoimmunity has failed to establish causes or promote cures. An alternative concept has been advanced by the present author (1963)6. This concept is based on the postulate of man's maladaptation to biologically new food. Evidence for the presence of this maladaptaton; considered in this concept to be the genetic (inherited) susceptibility to rheumatic diseases, is based on: (a) clinical observation; (b) a pilot trial of treatment, 19646; and © recent advances in biochemistry, genetics and gastroenterology including the study of the small intestine on the one hand and clues from paleopathology on the other.
It's interesting, one must look very hard at the current models to see the connection between intestinal permeability and autoimmunity. Hygiene hypothesis is about as close to it gets. But one does not ever see commentary about evolutionary/genetic discord. That Dr. Shatin connected these dots so long ago is remarkable. Then this:
Briefly, in the concept advanced here, it is suggested that the cereals wheat and rye, the biologically new food (hitherto probably only avian food), were not universally suited to human metabolism because of their protein component, gluten.
Celiac disease had only reached prominence in the medical community a few decades earlier. That Dr. Shatin was able to piece all this together is remarkable. I'll leave you to peruse those two papers, but I think it's worth asking: Why did this information almost disappear from history? Dr. Shatin performed clinical trials showing a paleo diet to be beneficial for RA. He knew a remarkable amount of what we know today with regards to intestinal permeability and autoimmunity, but like the Aeolipile this technology and understanding has largely been lost to a Dark Age of reductionist medicine. I think it's pretty clear what happened here: This man's ideas were counter to the CONSENSUS (I have a piece brewing on scientific consensus) and so the ideas were ignored, likely ridiculed (nearly) out of existence. The changes that are afoot today are NOT happening from consensus and are certainly not coming from the scientific and academic mainstream. Yet. The change we are benefiting from today is happening because with social networks we can effectively step outside the "consensus" and do things that actually "work." We are seeing N=1 experiments with the Paleo/Ancestral Health template performed millions of times per day. If it did not work, if this way of doing things did not benefit autoimmunity and a host of other issues, the concept would wither and die. It appears to be doing anything but that.
Don't get too smug though, any good sci-fi novel will remind you that decay and entropy are the norm, not the exception. So too apparently are totalitarian power grabs, especially when the dominant paradigm is being eroded. Case in point:
The North Carolina Board of Dietetics and Nutrition (NCBDN) is threatening to sue, shut down and SEND TO JAIL a type1 diabetic man who has found a way out of the system of managed death. It's worth noting that the ADA reviewers do NOT see recommending a vegetarian diet as being problematic…
The NCBDN will apparently forcibly confine and silence those people who do not stay within certain "Party" guidelines. This on the heels of the Forbes piece implicating the ADA for forming what is essentially a monopoly on nutrition advice. Which created some seriously bunched britches on the part of the ADA. I find it hilarious that I need to sit through a Sugar Free Coffee Mate ad on the Food Management site before being allowed to proceed to the response. THESE people are in charge of our food policy?
That the Internet and social media have allowed the concept of Ancestral Health to be broadcast to the masses is undeniable. It is also not surprising that we are witnessing an attempt by the government and academic institutions to silence our attempts at self determination. If we are not sick, fat and dying from the subsidized foods the government and ADA wants to feed us, what NEED is there for the ADA?
I don't know about you, but I will not allow another Dark Ages to hamstring medicine and be set back 50 years. Again.
Interesting to say the least

It's not a new fad diet. Smart people have been eating this way for ages.
Try it out for a month or two and find out the results for yourself.

The original post states that the man was a Type 1 diabetes patient when in fact he was originally a Type 2 diabetes patient and obese.
I think there's differences, but I can't be sure.

Converse is a well-loved brand with a fantastic history. I remember buying my first pair of All-Stars like it was yesterday (it wasn't).
The company has sold 800m pairs of All-Stars, to the likes of Joey Ramone, Kurt Cobain and Snoop Dogg.
As such it comes as no surprise to discover that the brand is popular on Facebook, although the scale of its popularity is somewhat jaw-dropping.

Katie Lopez is a reporter for Action 4 News.
Citrus Greening, also called Huanglongbing or Yellow Dragon Disease, is a bacteria that's threatening the citrus industry.
While Florida might be considering whether or not their crops can survive the greening, experts in the Valley don't want to go that route.
They're choosing to educate the public before it becomes too late.
Many people enjoy eating citrus, but with just one bite from the Asian Citrus Psyllid, the little fruit and all of its citrus cousins can be wipe out with the snap of a finger.
This greening disease isn't affecting the large growers, but those trees growing in your backyard.
While the disease isn't harmful to humans or animals, it can have a devastating effect on this struggling industry. "We know that the commercial industry is very threatened by the lack of action or uninformed public," Texas Citrus Mutual's (TCM) Jacob Sosebee said. "He has no control over the disease in the backyard."
In an effort to stop the spread before it starts, TCM is hosting a citrus alert event on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the San Juan Public Library.
There, they will discuss the issue and what can be done to keep it confined. TCM doesn't want to anyone to panic and think that their tree automatically has the disease.
They just want people to be aware and know the signs to look for before it's too late.

"I got so interested in the art of folks I majored in it. The school is so big I can't get out of it."
Woody Guthrie
I was pulled over by a carload of poetry police recently on my way home from the Kalkaska Elders Project. The authorities accused my themes of weaving all over.
One officer said, "Your poems are too easy to understand. Couldn't you be more complicated? And why do you write in other people's voices? Don't you have anything to say? Could we see your poetic license please?"
I reached inside my mind. My memory shuffled around and found a quote by Walt Whitman. I pulled it out and said "I contain multitudes." "What?" the officers asked.
"These poems aren't about me," I answered, "unless you believe all things are one. I think life is complicated enough. Even Robert Frost felt the basic activities of everyday life had hidden meanings."
The poetry police eyed me with suspicion. They waved me off with a warning, "Put more significant symbols of meaning in your poems."
"Okay," I lied.
The symbols and meanings in my Elders Poems appear organically like morel mushrooms. They're just not easy to see if you're looking too hard. My poetry pick-up cruised home to Stone Circle Drive.
Below are some folk poems from the Kalkaska Elders Project. This one was made possible mostly by the Kalkaska County Library, and SEEDS. All the interviews were done by SEEDS students.
On another note, Stone Circle fires up this Saturday. Please join us to listen, or polish up those poems. A film crew is coming next summer from Barcelona, Spain to shoot a documentary for our 30th anniversary.
Betty Dunham (81)
My tongue was attached wrong underneath
when I was born.
They used to call it tongue-tied.
I had trouble nursing,
and couldn't talk well.
I learned to swear in Norwegian,
before I could speak.
I would go to the barn with grandpa
to milk cows.
If he got mad at a cow
he'd swear in Norwegian.
I was three when somebody discovered
my membrane
that attaches the tongue
to the floor of my mouth
was short.
Six months later,
the night my brother was born
the doctor came to deliver him.
Dad grabbed ahold of me
and held me tight.
The doctor opened my mouth
and clipped the membrane.
There was blood all over.
They say I used some real bad swear words
in Norwegian.
Grandmother wasn't very happy about this.
I've had a loose tongue
ever since.
Richard Walker (80)
I grew up on the south side of Chicago.
The stockyards were on the south side
when I was young.
We were laboring families,
not white collar.
There were marvelous forest preserves
right in the city.
We visited one by streetcar.
Streetcars were red with yellow trim,
a little longer than a school bus.
They had a headlight in the center,
and ran both ways
twenty-four hours a day.
Kids called them red rockets.
On Sundays I'd go with mom and dad.
You'd see all these ethnic picnics
with all kinds of different food,
the Polish, Germans, Italians
and later the Mexicans.
People were having a wonderful time.
My parents didn't drink alcohol.
I'd think, "Look at all those people.
They're so happy."
I got quite an education.
Later I learned
it wasn't such a bad way to be.
Bethel Larabee (83)
Everybody had cattle,
and I was thought of as the local midwife
for cows.
I helped a lot of calves be born.
When you see four feet coming
at the same time"¦nothing can be born that way.
You have to reach up inside
and turn the calf.
You've got to have two feet
coming out right side up.
I helped deliver Holstein triplets
who wouldn't have lived
if I hadn't been there.
I figured she was going to have twins.
Milking cows by hand,
they stood beside each other
and you sat with a cow behind you.
When a calf gets pretty well developed,
they move.
I kept getting kicked in the back
from the left side.
You know there's an extra calf or two.
Calves are carried
on the right side.

Federal investigators testing 'suspicious' letter
SAGINAW (AP) -- Michigan Sen. Carl Levin says authorities are testing a suspicious letter sent to his regional office in Saginaw.
Levin says in a statement that an aide received the letter Wednesday but did not open it. Authorities are investigating and Levin doesn't expect preliminary results of tests until late Wednesday or Thursday.
The Democratic lawmaker says he doesn't know if the mail presented a threat. The staffer who discovered the letter is being kept overnight at a hospital for precautionary reasons but has no symptoms.
Separately, the FBI says a substance in letters sent to President Barack Obama and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker have preliminarily tested positive for ricin, a potentially fatal poison. Both letters were intercepted at off-site mail facilities.

libefgy is a set of C++ headers containing lots of templates loosely related to maths. The headers include templates for fractional arithmetic, big integers (and thus "big fractions"), calculating π, e, and some calculations with those (for trigonometrics), matrix manipulations, tuples, polar and Euclidian spaces in arbitrary dimensions, (perspective) projections, colour space manipulations in RGB and HSL, and assorted other things.
AlgART Libraries is a collection of Java libraries for processing arrays and matrices. It features63-bit addressing of array elements (64-bit long int indexes), a memory model concept (allowing data to be stored using different schemes, from RAM to mapped disk files), wide usage of lazy evaluations, built-in multithreading optimization for multi-core processors, and a wide set of image processing algorithms over matrices. Almost all classes and methods are thoroughly documented via JavaDoc.
TSPSG is intended to generate and solve "travelling salesman problem" (TSP) tasks. It uses the Branch and Bound method for solving. Its input is a number of cities and a matrix of city-to-city travel costs. The matrix can be populated with random values in a given range (which is useful for generating tasks). The result is an optimal route, its price, step-by-step matrices of solving, and a solving graph. The task can be saved in an internal binary format and opened later. The result can be printed or saved as PDF, HTML, or ODF. TSPSG may be useful for teachers to generate test tasks or just for regular users to solve TSPs. Also, it may be used as an example of using the Branch and Bound method to solve a particular task.
The "Sound of Sorting" is a demo program containing many integer sorting algorithms. The algorithms are visualized in real time and augmented with sound effects, which are based on the values being compared. Animation speed and sound sustain can be customized while the algorithm is running. The visualization also highlights the algorithm's internal workings, which makes the demo program very useful for teaching sorting algorithms in an undergraduate computer science course. The program also counts the number of comparisons done by an algorithm, which can then be compared to the analytically derived value. The demo is implemented using the cross-platform toolkits wxWidgets and SDL, and can be executed on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
markov.sql implements third order (and lower) model Markov Chains, including training and generation, in pure SQL(ite).

PHP Clarke and Wright Algorithm is a class that can solve a truck routing problem with the Clarke and Wright algorithm. It attempts to solve the problem of determining the routes by which a given number of trucks with different weight and volume capacity will be dispatching deliveries to a certain number of clients distributed geographically within certain time windows. The class takes as parameters the nodes of positions of each client, the demands of each client, a matrix of distance between nodes, and the capacity of each truck. It computes the route for each truck, as well the time and distance to drive to each customer and the volume and weight to transport.
nedtries is a portable in-place bitwise binary Fredkin trie algorithm that allows for near constant time insertions, deletions, finds, closest fit finds, and iteration. It is approximately 50-100% faster than red-black trees and up to 20% faster than O(1) hash tables. It provides implementations as C macros, C++ templates, and as a C++ STL compatible associative container.
BS is a data structures library. It features fixed size, random access sequences. The sequences are constructed over B-trees. Complexity for most single item operations is about O(logN). The sequences are three to five times faster over random access BST-based sequences, while having better memory usage characteristics.
ExternalSort is a class that can sort large files similar to the Unix sort command. It can read the file to be sorted in small buckets associated with temporary files to not exceed the configured PHP memory limits. The buckets are sorted individually and then merged to produce the final sorted output. The class provides command line interface options so it can be executed as a command from a shell.

I guess the down side for me personally, to your position and heightened forum access, is even more uncertainty over where the line is. Since I'm here and typing though, I'll go ahead and compliment you, and say that you seem like a humble user here, and it seems good to have you while I'm here, seems like a good decision.
I always find the obvious interesting... you'll never really know if I said the above to be a an arse kisser or not. If I was an administrator, I'd probably sign on in a bad mood and paranoid at 3am and ban someone for saying something nice about me because I thought it had a slight innuendo that I didn't like. It facinates me that some people handle these roles with apparent lack of trouble because I don't understand how it's not very difficult for some people.
Good luck as well.
Go the Greens!
The only people I have banned (and would ban) without question have been spammers as they detract from the experience, I would never ban someone on a whim or because I personally didn't like them, just for the record there is nobody that frequents these boards that I don't like, there might be a few unusual characters but certainly nobody that I dislike.
For someone to get banned it would generally be someone that broke the rules or were generally pushing their luck with other members etc, nothing to do with me having a bad day, I've been an admin on 2 other forums for the past few years and have had little reason to ever ban anyone, both other forums are tech related forums and are more focused but the same rules apply, the same personality types seem to exist on any forum
Watcher did that. I messaged him when some time had passed and it looked like the ban wasn't temporary.
We both broke the rules, there's no point in further bickering about it either. We both broke them.
Go the Greens!
This thread wasn't intended as an opportunity to indulge in a good ole bitching session. Sometimes it's just nice to be appreciated for what you are thought to be capable of doing, even before your salary gets tripled.
When I was invited to do some modding, it came out of the blue because having been hounded out of the forum proper after the first couple of dozen posts here, I then directed almost all of my first thousand messages through the eyo gateway to use groups, so I didn't expect anybody, let alone admin or mods to even notice my continued presence.
That they did note - and deemed me useful as a moderator - came as a pleasant surprise, and I guess Jok11n was similarly surprised and pleased to be asked to become an administrator. I started this thread to acknowledge his position and to show my appreciation for the behaviour that got him there.

just cause he banned you..
go cry to mommy
i got banned once and i didnt go on about it. i asked watcher what i did and when its lifted and boom!
now.. i bet you rand_borg will reply to this
Yeah, addressing me will invariable provoke a response. congratulations, you figured that out. Any other wonders from the void mind of soundbot that you want to grace us with?
That banning was unprovoked. Yours was due to breaching the rules.
Perhaps next time i should get my mother to write people letters. Seems to be the soundbot thing to do

dotTech Exclusive: Free Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home (Special Edition)! [48-hours only]
September 9, 2010 65 Email article | Print articleUpdate: This giveaway has now ended. Please subscribe to dotTech (e-mail | Twitter | RSS) so you can know about future giveaways before they expire!
Considering the fact that dotTech has featured and reviewed Paragon Software products on dotTech multiple times in the past, I am sure many dotTechies are familiar with the brand. One of Paragon Software's core competencies is data security; their Paragon Backup & Recovery product line is one of their flagship lines.
Paragon Backup & Recovery can be found in three different editions: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free, Paragon Backup & Recovery Home ($29.95), and Paragon Backup & Recovery Suite ($49.95). The following chart, created by Paragon Software, lists out the differences between all three editions, and also compares them to a discontinued product, Paragon Drive Backup Professional:
(Click on the above image to enlarge it.)
The Home edition of the Paragon Backup & Recovery product line is fairly new; it as released very recently. And now dotTech and Paragon Software are teaming up to bring everyone Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home (Special Edition) for free!
Here are are the highlights and features of Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home, as per the developer:
(Click on the above image to enlarge it.)
(Click on the above image to enlarge it.)
The only difference between Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home Special Edition and Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home (the edition you would get if you purchased directly from Paragon Software's website) is Special Edition does not come with the ability to create WinPE recovery media. Special Edition still has all the other features mentioned above and can still create fully functional Linux based recovery media.
Now dotTech has not explicitly reviewed Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home, so I can't tell you what is good/bad about the program. However, dotTech has reviewed multiple different Paragon Software products in the past – including Paragon Backup & Recovery's predecessor Paragon Drive Backup Professional – and the general trend is Paragon Software products are excellent. Therefore, I am sure Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home is an excellent product also. (But of course please provide your feedback/mini-reviews on the product in the comments below!)
That said, to get Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home (Special Edition), follow these directions:
Version being given out for free: v10, build 10444 (14.07.10) Home Special Edition
Free updates: No
Supported OS: Windows 7 (32/64-bit)/Windows Vista (32/64-bit)/Windows XP Professional (32/64-bit)/Windows XP Home/Windows 2000 Professional SP4
Download size: 187 MB
Special note: This giveaway is available for the next 48 hours; it starts on Thursday September 9, 2010 00:00 PST and ends Saturday September 11, 2010 00:00 PST. After the 48-hours window, this giveaway will end. However, if you keep the installation file safe, you can install/reinstall the program whenever you want.

- After you have downloaded Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home, run br10_home_se.exe (it is the file you downloaded). You will need to extract the installation files into a folder:
I highly suggest you extract the files into a new folder because br10_home_se.exe extracts the installation files for Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home (Special Edition) – it does not install the program for you. Extracting the files into a new folder makes it easier to delete the files after you have installed the program (you will be able to delete these installation files).
- Go to the folder where you extracted the installation files. Find launcher.exe and run it. Click on Paragon Backup & Recovery Home Special Edition -> Paragon Backup & Recovery Home Special Edition:
This will launch the Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home Special Edition installer.
- Follow on-screen instructions to install Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home Special Edition. During installation you will be promoted to register the program:
Use the registration information you received via e-mail to register the program.
- Finish installing. After installation has finished, you will be asked to restart your computer:
You are not required to restart your computer, but it is highly encouraged to perform one restart before running any operations.
- (After you have finished installing Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home Special Edition, you can delete the installation files you extracted earlier.)
- Evaluate the program and come back here to provide some feedback to Paragon Software in the comments below. Feel free to write a mini-review, or just list some good/bad points about the program.
- Enjoy!

Paragon Backup & Recovery Compact – Free Download
That shows a comparison chart, against a version similar to the Home Special.52Hi Ashraf :)
Thank you so much for this great offer.
Downloaded it and installed just fine on XP pro sp3.
There is a PDF manual for the program. You can get it here: http://www.paragon-software.com/docs/BR10Home_en160810m.pdfI know that it does not include the WinPE recovery disk, but the "linux" edition is included. I think that you will only miss the WinPE edition if you were going to make some P2P Adjust. That is missing in the "Linux" recoveryCD, and if you try to run it from it from the installed program, it gives you an error, saying that it cannot be done with an active OS. So maybe it is still possible if you have a multiboot system. I have not tested that, since i only have 1 OS.
Sorry for the multiple posts, my first one had a link, so I tried another without, and it just happened to be posted to a new page.
I falsely assumed that the delay on my post (the one with a link), was holding back my non-link one.
Perhaps when anyone is posting the 50th post, it should throw the 'poster' to the new page. That did not happen to me, so I assumed it went into the twilight zone.
- – - – - – -tekknokat,
I am not a big fan of file backing up software.
Instead, I have all my files in organized folders starting with
So it is easy for me to burn them to a DVD.
If you had used the free Seagate DiscWizard, to create images of your whole drive, then -
- The size of individual files would not have been a problem.
- I normally use the bootable CD to create and Restore images. However, If you also install the program into Windows, you can explore previous images, to extract individual files.
- When your Drive died, you would have had your OS, and your files intact.
And I can even show you how to resurrect the lot to another PC.
I have preached (relentlessly, to anyone who will listen) about my file organizing (C:B_ etc), and the Seagate discWizard in this thread, and also elsewhere in Ashraf's web site.Rob
PS I was preaching in a VB6 forum to a chap, who ignored me.
A few weeks later his laptop was stolen, and he lost everything.
He had no images then, and is still not imaging his new PC.
"You can lead a horse to water, but . . . . . . "
55Two questions:
1. Can i install on three machines with the same registration?
2. Do i need to create three separate recovery disks? I use a different OS on each.
Many thanks.56HOW TO VERIFY IMAGE ?
I have connected a spare IDE internal drive, internally, and done a full Seagate DiscWizard image. I was too frightened to rely on my external drive for the moment, after the Paragon 2010 Linux CD, gave me a 'whopping' (Mohamed Ali).
I then decided to dig out 2009 Paragon Hard Disc Manager Pro, recoverable bootable CD (WHICH IS WinPE NOT LINUX)
I have tested that, and my external drive, by letting it create a full image (all partitions) to the external drive.
The WinPE is definitely more professional than the Linux one.
And now to my question -
Does anyone know where the option is to Verify the image, I just created ?
PS My parting thoughts on the 2010 Recoverable Linux CD
I have experimented with a few Linux LiveCD's
Practically all of them had problems with my 2004 PC's (both of the PCs).
The only one that was reliable (and a delight to use), was Puppy Linux.
So perhaps much of the blame for my 'whopping', was Paragon's LINUX CD ?
PPS Sav,
I believe Recoverable CDs are not 'tied' to the PC that created them.
So you do not have to create a fresh one for every PC.
And I believe Ashraf mentioned that once you have the Serial number, you can install on all of your PCs, 'until the cows come home'.57@RobCr: Thanks RobCr. Indeed i did install on all PCs with just the one registration.
Did my first backup very smoothly. It took about 30 minutes for 45gbs.58@Sav: Glad that worked out.
What was your before size (the amount used) ?
And the after size (the size of the image) ?
I have done quite a few images over time, and never even came close to the compression that post #46 got (30GB to 4GB)
Off the top of my head, the best I ever achieved from 30GB would be say 20GB
I know the laws of physics in parallel universes are different, so perhaps gully foyle is near a 'worm hole' (or a 'black hole').59RobCr, the original size was about 45GB, it's a new laptop, and the backup image came at just under 39GB.
I didn't play with any of the settings so the compression was at "normal".60Confusing about boot disks! WinPE, Linux, BartPE, etc…. Is there anywhere you can go on the internet to read about the difference? Wonder what Acronis uses?
The Acronis installation disc is even bootable to run your backup or restore. I made a copy of the whole CD and use it instead of creating a recovery disk. Both ways work great. I have been using Acronis since version 8 and it has never let me down. I originally start out with Norton Ghost on Windows 98 but after running into some problems with it I switched to Acronis. I am running a 160GB Seagate for drive c and 640GB Western Digital Black for drive d thru h. I have a copy of the Acronis that you use with Seagate drives and also one you use with Western Digital drives but have never tried them since I already had a retail copy. Usually get for about $10 right before the newest version comes out.
I guess I will backup with Acronis before I start trying out Paragon Backup and Recovery to see how they compare. I always make partition images. I never backup just files and folders.61ASHRAF:
Like Erik and Kate, I would like to know what the difference is between Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home SE and Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Compact? [RobCr's link did not answer this question.....]
I go crazy trying to figure out the difference between all those Paragon offerings/versions….:-)….!
62Final report: Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home (Special Edition)
Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Free Advanced was uninstalled (Revo Uninstaller reported no leftovers). Ashraf's offer, Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home (Special Edition), installed with no problems. I especially like how the wizard displays every partition. If you were surprised by my last numbers, these won't ease your doubt. I finally finished additional installations and reorganizations, then ran CCleaner, MyDefrag, and NTREGOPT, then ran Paragon B&R10 HomeSE to image the 32GB files on the 75GB Windows 7 x64 operating system partition as a 5.9GB (High Compression) image in 00:07:59 to a different drive. Then I started the Recovery CD wizard, which announced that the CD could be booted into either WinPE or Linux, and then burned the disk almost instantaneously. The built-in software Archive checker and the Disk checker verified both, but I haven't add occasion to test by booting the Recovery CD, restoring the backup, and booting the restored image. But my previous B&R10 Free Advanced backup image did pass that test. Again, thanks, Ashraf.63Final report: Compared with Acronis True Image 11 Home. Ran both on default settings.
Ran Paragon B&R10 HomeSE to image 25.9 GB of files on 160GB hard disk on WinXP SP3 at normal compression to a 640GB internal hard disk. Backup files size was 17.0 GB. Backup time was 14 minutes. Restore time was 16 minutes and 6 seconds.
Ran Acronis True Image 11 Home to image 25.9 GB of files on 160GB hard disk on WinXP SP3 at normal compression to a 640GB internal hard disk. Backup files size was 14.91 GB. Backup time was 15 minutes and 5 seconds. Restore time was 6 minutes and 25 seconds. Not sure why it restored so much faster.
I didn't select either to verify backup or restore. Both backed up and restored ok with the boot CD for each program. I guess I should have set to verify backups because I normally do when I backup. Just didn't for this test.
gully foyle said "Then I started the Recovery CD wizard, which announced that the CD could be booted into either WinPE or Linux, and then burned the disk almost instantaneously. I thought this didn't come with WinPE. At least mine didn't.
Acronis is a lot more user friendly to me and just looks more professional looking to me. When I backed up with Paragon I unchecked the make files in 2 GB size. It still did. Tried twice to get one backup file with no luck.
tekknokat, sorry you are having problems with Acronis backing up non image files. I never tried to do that. I just make images every couple of weeks and rotate them usually keeping about 3 just in case. Copy to external drive. I am going to try and backup some non image files on my computer and see what happens. I have several large files over 1 GB and some are avi.
I personally am going to stick with Acronis. I really, really like it and until it doesn't work for me I will probably keep using it. Just like Norton Ghost, used until it didn't work for me and then started using Acronis. To me it is the best image software out there for my XP Pro SP3 machine. I like to try different software just to see what is available. Paragon is good software and I thank them and Ashraf for the free giveaway.64

Liberal MP Justin Trudeau will reportedly enter the race for the federal Liberal leadership.
According to reports by La Presse newspaper, the CBC and CTV, he is expected to make the announcement on Tuesday.
Trudeau, 40, the son of former Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau, has been an MP for the riding of Papineau, Que., since 2008.
Justin Trudeau has been under intense pressure to run since interim Leader Bob Rae announced he would not be seeking the permanent job.
Patrick Gossage, the former press secretary to Pierre Trudeau, told political affairs specialist John Stall that the junior Trudeau has got the qualities to be a good leader.
"I know he's a lot more serious, more smarter person and more experienced a person than people give him credit for. He's won in the tough working-class neighbourhoods in Montreal, twice. He's been a good parliamentarian; he's a terrific speaker," Gossage said.
"He's going to do really weird things occasionally, and that was one of the things that attracted us to Trudeau — he was kind of outrageous from time to time — and I think Justin will do that. He'll bring back some excitement to this placid, dull politics that we've all become endeared to," he said.
The next Liberal leader will be chosen on April 14, 2013, in Ottawa.

WATSONVILLE, Calif., Feb 14, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) today announced an organizational realignment of its business operations. The realignment is designed to accommodate growth of the Company's vertically integrated Branch business in the west and improve profitability on its large, complex Heavy Construction Division ("HCD") projects. Implementation of the strategic and organizational realignment is currently underway and is expected to take approximately twelve months to complete.
"The actions announced today lay the foundation for growth that is a natural evolution of a healthy, growing and financially strong company," said William G. Dorey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The cornerstone of our corporate strategy over the coming years is to expand our vertically integrated branch business model into new geographies in the west and right- size our large projects business. This new structure will allow us to take full advantage of the long-term opportunities and strong market conditions we foresee for our business."
Dorey continued, "Granite has tremendous capabilities and outstanding people. The expertise, know-how and commitment of our people throughout the country is truly remarkable and is what makes us among the most capable and experienced in the industry. I am confident that this strategic and organizational realignment of our business is in the best interest of our people and our shareholders. I am excited about the opportunities in Granite's future and believe we will be a much stronger and more profitable company as a result of these actions."
Highlights of today's announcement include: -- Geographic realignment into Granite West and Granite East -- Right-sizing large projects business -- Realigning large projects resources -- Realigning individual branches under three separate operating groups -- Retaining successful decentralized branch operating structure -- Adding branch management structure to support growth of vertical integration strategy
Led by Senior Vice President James H. Roberts, Granite West will be structured to strategically support the growth of the Company's construction and construction materials businesses. The western portion of the Company's current large project business will be integrated into Granite West by carefully capitalizing on Granite West's capacity, people and assets, as well as its extensive and proven management and support structure.
The Company will retain its successful decentralized operating structure within Granite West, with each of its branch locations aligning under one of three Operating Groups: Northwest, Northern California and Southwest. Each branch will remain intact with little or no change in their operations and will report to a newly created position, Granite West Group Vice President. Each of the three Group Vice Presidents will oversee three to six branches and will have the responsibility to stimulate strategic thinking and growth in their geographic territory. Among other key benefits, this structure will allow Granite West to utilize its resources and market knowledge to take advantage of the larger projects we expect to be let as a result of healthy state funding and the recently passed Propositions in California.
"Our expectation is that we can maximize the use of our existing assets and minimize our risk profile by properly preparing for the medium to large- size projects that ideally utilize our own construction materials," said Dorey. "More importantly, we intend to build this capacity slowly in the west so we do not impact our local business units' normal project portfolio."
Led by Senior Vice President Michael F. Donnino, Granite East will be aligned to focus on enhancing project management oversight and discipline from estimating through execution. Granite East will leverage its resources and core capabilities in areas where it has local knowledge, local relationships, and local resources. It will be operated out of three regional offices: the Central Region, based in Dallas, Texas; the Southeast Region, based in Tampa, Florida; and the Northeast Region, based in Tarrytown, New York.
"The underperformance on our large projects has been unacceptable and it is critical that we take the necessary steps to right-size this business. We believe our technical capabilities to build large, complex projects of high quality are among the best in the industry and we are committed to get it right," said Dorey. "We see this realignment as a positive approach to ensure that our expertise is deployed properly to allow us to capture all of the profit potential on this large work," Dorey added.
On going operational improvements in its large projects business include: -- Improving the project selection process to ensure Granite only pursues projects that match its capabilities. -- Improving administrative oversight, systems and project controls to provide for greater accuracy of forecasts and better management oversight. -- Improving training and project execution to achieve project bid margins. -- Improving project issue resolution to bring project issues to a more timely and satisfactory close. -- Continuing to monitor and evaluate the large projects business.
The Company expects 2007 consolidated revenue in the Heavy Construction Division to be approximately $800.0 million. This compares with $1.1 billion in revenue for the division in 2006.
"Our revenue forecast for HCD is an indication that our strategy to right- size this business is having a positive impact. I am confident that the actions we are taking to strategically realign this business will provide us with an opportunity to further develop our proven network in Granite West and allow us to focus our management and talent on a more suitable business in Granite East," said Dorey.

This month, T celebrates the Nifty 50: America's up-and-coming talent.

While watching Greta Gerwig on screen, you might be tempted to kiss her. This is not meant purely as praise. Gerwig, 26, plays characters who are given to discursive verbal forays with oodles of "ummmms." So planting an unexpected kiss would not only be a recognition of her adorableness but also a useful way to shut her up. "Mumblecore" — the are-you-really-(like)-filming-this? film movement that routinely produces such conversational imbroglios in the interest of making small observations about young life and younger loves — is to blame. It's not obvious which D.I.Y. auteur can be called the father of mumblecore (the Duplass Brothers, Joe Swanberg, Andrew Bujalski), but Gerwig — dubbed "mumblecore's Meryl Streep" by the New York Observer — is probably the movement's chief avatar, able to summon all the gesticulations and insecurity that convey real life while possessing the polish and presence of a movie star. And Hollywood has taken notice. Read more…

comment=41927Just a nit-pick, but darker water is usually associated with deeper water. You flipped that with you map, and have the shores darker (deeper looking) than the lighter seas(shallow looking).
author=DeckillerNice shape of the world map. I swear I wasn't influenced by this when I did Legend of Denadel's last year! Coincidence that they're similar.

When it comes to the spookiest night of the year, there's always that one question on everyone's mind - what will I be for Halloween?
The Two Rivers Gallery is doing double duty by offering costume options and a place to show it off.
First participate in the Costume Swap, a national event this Saturday to find the perfect outfit and then wear it at Menagerie, one of the gallery's biggest annual fundraisers, on October 27.
There's plenty of options when it comes to the swap. Drop off gently used costumes, come in and trade for a costume, or donate $5 and find a costume on Saturday.
"We're asking for everything," said Carolyn Holmes, public programs manager at the Two Rivers. "So maybe there'll be accessories and maybe people have jewelry or swords, wigs or who-knows-what that they need to get rid of - could be anything. So you never know what you'll find when you come to swap."
People can bring their children's outgrown dress-up clothes as well.
"There comes a time when a child's costume might just not fit anymore," said Holmes.
Then when the perfect costume has been found, it's time to get ready for the third annual Menagerie.
"You will want to dress up because the costumes are spectacular and a lot of people come to this event," said Holmes, explaining that many people choose to remain anonymous, staying in identity-concealing costumes for the entire evening, enhancing the mysteriousness of the event. "You have no idea who's who. Your friends and neighbours will attend and you have no idea because it's their alter ego you're seeing at the event. Everybody's transformed and that's a lovely aspect of the evening. It's really creative and sort of freeing to pretend to be another person for the night. So, you come all decked out and we have a costume prize."
Later on in the evening, after judges have selected about a dozen finalists, there's a costume parade and a winner will be selected. Top costume wins a Via Rail trip for four to Jasper.
It's an evening packed with many activities, Holmes said.
"We have transformed the gallery," she added. "The downstairs becomes Fortune Alley, like Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. Fortune Alley will have fortune tellers in it and they'll spend time with you, telling you about your fortune or what will happen in your future or reading your aura and that's all in fun."
In the galleria there will be Minute-To-Win-It-style games, which anybody can do but they are still tricky, Holmes said.
"It's just as much fun to watch your friends give the games a try, than it is do try them yourself," she added.
There's a themed bar with special Halloween drinks and there's Absinthe and Scotch tasting.
There's a DJ that will play music all night.
"There's also entertainment happenings that will occur throughout the night, so as you're going about one of the guest might break into song, or one of the people who is all dressed up beside you will dance or come around and do a little act. So throughout the night your fellow guests could be the entertainment, as well."
There's a silent auction filled with donations from local businesses and artists.
"So you can take a little treasure home with you," said Holmes.
There's also a late-night lunch.
"It's going to be a great night," said Holmes. "There's so much to do and it's really fun if you come with a group of friends because then it makes the night."
And there's a great door prize of a trip for two to any scheduled WestJet destination that some lucky guest will win, added Holmes.

Siroc Restaurant
Online Reservations
Doesn't matter whether you're at Siroc for lunch or dinner, dining inside or out, it's always the best -- uncompromising service and the very best cuisine every day of the week.
Great pasta! We eat at this restaurant every few weeks. I always try their special pasta of the day and it always is delish!
We arrived early for lunch and the staff was attentive and knowledgeable. Very nice ambiance as this was previously Gerard's Place. We had the Bibb salad with salmon done medium which was very fresh--excellent dressing. The chicken and pasta with pesto sauce was delightful. Coffee was fine but we had no room for desert. Would return when in the area.
The food and service were incredible! We were celebrating our anniversary and it was perfect. Not too loud, convenient to metro--we enjoyed everything. The chef treated us to a delicious appetizer and limoncello. We will definitely dine here again!
I did this on my phone and am not sure it got to you, so once again, this is a wonderful restaurant. The homemade pasta, fresh and delicious salads, well prepared fish - it was truly a wonderful dining experience. I'm so glad it was recommended that we try Siroc. Our entire party loved it. Our server was also excellent - attentive, friendly and seemed to know just when to "show up."
Friendly Staff, simple yet elegant menu, nice ambience, excellent food, and great service make Siroc an excellent choice for Italian dining.
Siroc turned out to be a wonderful experience, food was very good and we were able to seat outside which was very nice because the weather was perfect, good to know that we have such a good Italian restaurant in the neighborhood, I am glad to discover it even though they have been around a while.
I love this restaurant. Reliable. Creative. Attractive. Excellent service. And reasonable. At lunch, I had a lovely branzino filet atop vinegar-dressed steamed spinach with roasted potatoes and a vinegar swirl. My guest had a gnocchi dish that he loved (I can't eat wheat, alas). We both had the pear poached in red wine with ginger ice cream for dessert. The pear and accompanying warm sauce were outstanding; the ice cream could have used a bit more ginger punch (perhaps a sprinkling of crushed candied ginger?). But more an observation than a complaint. I'll be back.
Siroc is always fantastic. Their pastas are divine, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere delightful. One of my favorite DC restaurants - never fails to impress visiting family, friends, or colleagues.
I had the beef tenderloin for my visit and it far and away exceeded my expectations. It was a wonderful meal and an appropriately sized portion for a date. My glass was always full and service always well timed. The food was expensive, but easily worth it. It was a little louder than I expected, so it is not the scene of choice for an intimate encounter. Overall, I loved it and it was a good setting for a more familiar date.
Best Branzino in town. Martin is an exceptional chef. Always leave feeling very satisfied that I got great value at Siroc.
Siroc is always excellent. They make their own pasta with one exception. Well prepared meals and excellent service at a reasonable price for good DC dining. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner.
All of the pasta dishes we ordered were delicious. Fettuccine, gnocchi, duck, and lamb. They allowed us to split the pasta dishes in half (aka half duck and half lamb) which allowed us to try several options.
This was our first visit to Siroc and we were very pleased. The food was excellent and the sevice was appropriately attentive.
We have been many times. The (homemade) pasta with any sauce is the best I have ever had - absolutely delicious! The lamb shank with eggplant is an all time favorite and the warm chocolate tart is not to be missed!
This restaurant was a throw back to what we need. Good attentive service, warm ambiance, not too noisy, wonderful menu choices. Delighted we have found a winner.
Siroc rocks! A wonderful place with fabulous food and superb waiters.
Best reasonably priced Italian in DC. Great food and wine with terrific service.
My wife and I suggested Siroc for a dinner to friends and they replied, "We love Siroc!' I can see why after dining there. Pleasant, gracious and unrushed service, a nice outdoor area to eat with a view of the park, and lovely, lovely pastas - the best I have had in DC. I had lamb sausage for a starter black pepper tagliatelle with scallops which was absolutely delicious. My wife had pasta with beef which was also great. The chewiness and flavor of the pasta was perfect. Dessert was not as special, but I will definitely be back, perhaps for lunch or another dinner to try the other dishes.
We searched on-line for an affordable but nice dinner before a show at GWU. We wanted to be near a Metro station since we were coming in from Northern VA and did not want the hassle of driving and parking. Siroc is a great location. The food was very good, an interesting menu, while not outrageously expensive. The service was the most attentive and we have had in a long, long time. We were not rushed but the servers appeared at the table a exactly the right times. The two of us could have a nice conversation without raising our voices. We will definitely keep this restaurant in mind the next time we go into DC for dinner.
My husband and I really enjoyed our meal here. Wines were reasonably priced and very good. Service was excellent. We ordered a potato torte and the burrata mozzarella for appetizers and both were sensational. I had the black pepper tagliatelle entree - I was concerned the shellfish broth would be overpowering but it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. My husband had the duck pappardelle which was also very very good. Pastas were homemade and perfectly al dente.
The homemade pastas, esp those w seafood, are among the best in DC
Food was excellent, waitress was abrupt and pushy, but i got a sense there was a language and cultural differnce at play
The veal was superb as was the service! Hands down the best meal we had in DC all week! We will certainly return.
All courses were flawlessly prepared and perfectly seasoned. Whomever runs the kitchen is doing a great job, as courses arrived on time and hot. Crisp, attentive service. Very, very well done!
Homemade pasta, our favorite, was fresh and delicious. We substituted pasta sauces as well as type of lettuce in the salad with no problem. This restaurant has the feel and flavored of an expensive restaurant, but it actually reasonably priced.
Siroc is always a consistently good experience. Service, menu offerings, good quality are top notch. Pastas are delicious. The new bar is a welcome addition to the restaurant.
Still an unsung favorite of mine - love the branzino and the chili flavored spaghetti
The food in Siroc is terrific. The fresh pasta is made on premises and is elegantly prepared. Good service. Very enjoyable.
The pappardelle with cream/duck was excellent, as was the spaghetti. The burrata atop mushrooms and the sweetbreads (animelle) were wonderful appetizers. It was a bit noisy, but the service was attentive and not pushy.
Stopped here for dinner while in DC for the weekend. Food was incredible and reasonably priced. Service was great too!!! Never an empty drink or bread basket!! A must stop!
Accommodated my vegan requirements, pasta was excellent. The whole party of 5 was satisfied.
The menu is simple. Siroc has taken great care to provide varied options for dining but the menu is not all over the place. The descriptions of dishes sound really good but revelation occurs when you take that first bite. The Burrarrata Mozzarella dish was deception at it's best. I would return just for that dish. The amuse buche was a welcome surprise letting me know just how well pasta is prepared. The wine selections were extensive but prices of the bottles were not offputting. Our server not only listened but paid attention. When we ordered another bottle of white wine, she advised that our second selection would be much sweeter than the first bottle we ordered. As a result, we selected another bottle instead. Very thoughtful!
I like to dine at Siroc every time I visit DC for business. The well executed dishes are consistently well presented by an attentive staff. The wine list is balanced, with many fine selections by the glass. The tagliatelle with scallops has been my favorite entree for several years.
It was a good friend's birthday and our table of 5 received wonderful service all around. The space itself feels modern while still having white tablecloth charm. The food quality is excellent all around. I would (and will) definitely return, which I rarely say these days. P.S. my good friend and I often share meals because we just don't eat that much after the bread and appetizers. We each had half orders of homemade pasta as a main course and, with a nice salad, it was a perfect amount of food. The black pepper pasta and the pasta special (with pesto and tomato) were both delicious. I appreciated that they didn't blink an eye at our"light" ordering, as some restaurants do. They were just lovely to us in every way! Kudos Siroc!
I took a co-worker to this restaurant. She loved the food and how fast it came out to our table. The wait staff was great and checked on us whenever she came by. Kept our drinks filled and that's a plus
We were looking for somewhere to meet up with friends, and I saw Siroc on Opentable and we decided to try it. We all had pasta, and each of us thought what we ordered was great, the bolognese, the pappardelle with scallops, and the gnocci with wild boar - service good too. It got a little noisy when it filled up, so we had a hard time hearing each other. That was the only issue, the service was good. We enjoyed it
I have dined here often and was celebrating a special occasion with colleagues. I asked Chef Martin for a tasting menu. He assembled a wonderful meal that dazzled my guests. Each course was sumptuous, attractive, and tantalizing. I highly recommend dining at Siroc!
Food and service were very good and what you would expect at a higher end restaurant. Nothing jumped out as fantastic but if you are looking for a nice restaurant with good food don't hesitate to eat here.
Delicious meal from appetizers to dessert. We enjoyed the attentive service as well.
We were in town for a special award for a family member, and 5 of us had spectacular appetizers and meals at Siroc. We had one vegetarian among us, and chose Siroc based on its interesting vegetarian and fish menu. Of course, one of our 5 chose the tenderloin, and another the lamb shank--both of which were wonderful. All of the pasta and fish were also superb. The servers were attentive and went out of their way to make the dinner special. We would happily return.
loved it! I met a close friend there for her birthday and everything was perfect.
What a lovely restaurant and the food is outstanding. Wait staff couldn't be nicer. Highly recommend.
I loved the warm atmosphere of the room. The staff was very attentive and our table was ready on time. Although the dining room was full when we left we didn't have a sense of being crowded.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was great and the wait staff did an awesome job. The menu had a wide selection and reasonable price. I will make it my choice when friends come to visit.
We enjoyed a table for 5 in the middle of the room on a Thursday night. Staff was very forgiving of our colleague's late arrival, holding the reservation for us for an extra half hour while some of us sat at the bar. Wonderful meal, fantastic service, everything tasty and friendly. Highly recommend the fennel salad and the potato torte, to start. the Eggplant layered with Lamb Shank was absolutely mouth watering. The noise level made talking across the table a bit difficult. Aside from that, it was a highly recommended experience.
Met a dear friend to celebrate Thanksgiving: from start to finish, our experience was superb at Siroc. My friend has certain restrictions on the foods, and the kitchen crew expertly prepared the foods for him-- without any hesitation. Well-cared-for foods, on each plate, served graciously, is what Siroc is all about.
Siroc is one of the better Italian restaurants in DC with some very creative preparations. Had sweetbreads in a veal reduction for the appetizer that were really wonderful. Also enjoyed pappardelle with a smoked duck ragu. My friend had a fantastic duck breast that was beautifully presented and delicious. I also like the fact that Siroc has some very reasonable options on their wine list. I will definitely come back!
This restaurant is great, and we'll be back next week. I celebrated my wifes birthday here last night, and the food was wonderful! I ordered the scallops as an appetizer, and let me tell you, they were great. We also had pasta half portions as appetizers also(great idea) My wife had the peppered scallops with linguine, and I had the duck and mushrooms over some kind of pasta that I never heard of. The pasta was made fresh that day and I could tell by how soft, and fresh it was by the way it melted in my mouth. I would definitely advise that you visit Siroc soon!
Dined here on the 5th while on business. Close walk from the Sofitel. Ambience was nice and the service was on point. Enjoyed the fresh pasta with duck and porcini mushrooms as a first course followed by the Veal Osso Bucco as a main course. The pasta was better but the veal would have been top if properly seasoned, lacked salt and pepper. Finished the meal with a recommendation from our server for the almond cake with blueberries. It didn't disappoint. Will definitely be returning.

To be honest i didn't get into red dead until i started playing this! It now feels a little dated compared to GTA 5. But i have to say i had allot of fun with this!
shooting waves of zombies might sound like shooting ducks in a barrel buts its not. As it soon becomes apparent their lives many different kinds, fat ones, skinny ones, zombies that spew out rocks, tough dead, sissy dead even dead who had chicken-pocks.... you get the idea.
As well as this i found the control system actually better then red dead as it doesn't automatically tag parts for you in dead eye mode, leaving you to decide on more advanced head shots which you need to pull off to make a kill
All in all red dead redemption undead nightmare is must for any fan or red dead or zombie fans.
You'll love
- its got a UNICORN IN IT!
- its got FIRE PONIES!
- better targeting
- people are weirdly more friendly and wont throw you off your horse for lifts.
You'll hate
- cougers are still fast and are quick to kill you from the blue.
- kinda miss some big bosses
- needs more enemy types.
- last level is a bit well 'bland' and boring
