DAYTIME EMMYS: NATAS and Pop Respond to Ageism Claims
on Thursday, March 19, 2015 @ 5:25 PM
Earlier today a tweet went out over claims that the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and Pop, which will broadcast the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards next month, were looking to have soap fans on hand to sit in bleachers that would be made available to the public on the red carpet. There were alleged claims, however, that the two parties was only seeking to include fans under the age of 45 to sit in said bleacher seats. NATAS and Pop have now issued statements that put clarification on the situation.

ON THE RECORD: David Michaels Talks New Daytime Emmy Categories, Overall Changes and That...
on Thursday, November 6, 2014 @ 12:30 AM
While the date for the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards wasn't necessarily a secret, it was still somewhat surprising when it was revealed that next year's Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards would be taking place on Friday, April 24 and the big show would be taking place on Sunday, April 26 - the earliest either ceremony will have taken place since at least 2006. In an interview with David Michaels, Senior Executive Director and Co-Executive Producer for the Daytime Emmy Awards & Events, who notes to Soap Opera Network that we can likely thank "The Young and the Restless'" Christian Le Blanc (Michael Baldwin) for revealing the dates online, the executive addresses the red carpet debacle that rocked the industry earlier this year, while also providing insight into what we can look forward to seeing from both the creative side and the broadcast side for next year's telecast, and a greater understanding of how four new categories will change the future of the awards ceremony.
Snubbed 'Sons of Anarchy' Creator Cites 'Lucci Factor' For Lack of Primetime Emmy Nominations
on Friday, July 11, 2014 @ 7:08 AM
"Devious Maids'" Susan Lucci (Genevieve Delatour) famously received a record 19 Daytime Emmy Award nominations in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Erica Kane on ABC's "All My Children" before finally taking home the golden statue for the first and only time on Friday, May 21, 1999, after Shemar Moore (ex-Malcom Winters, "The Young and the Restless") declared, "The streak is over... Susan Lucci!"
As is the case for almost all of the awards shows these days, "The 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" will include an online only voting component where fans are given the ability to vote on the first ever Fan Favorite Award.
She hosted her own talk show on Bravo last year and she's co-hosted CNN's New Year's Eve countdown presentation alongside Anderson Cooper over the last couple of years, but it's her signing on as host of "The 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" that promises to be one of the most memorable acts by comedian, actress, writer and producer, Kathy Griffin. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announced today that Griffin will host daytime's biggest night for the first time on Sunday, June 22.
DAYTIME EMMYS: CBS Celebrates With Six Days of Twitter Chats With Stars and Producers
on Thursday, June 12, 2014 @ 1:06 PM
Although CBS is not broadcasting the awards itself this year, the network announced today that it'll celebrate "The 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" with six days of Twitter chats with several of its stars, producers and executives from CBS Daytime's "The Young and the Restless," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "The Talk," "Let's Make a Deal" and "The Price is Right." The chats will take place every weekday beginning Friday, June 13 and running through Friday, June 20, leading up to daytime's biggest night on Sunday, June 22.While he isn't nominated for an Emmy this year, "B&B's" Sean Kanan...
DAYTIME EMMYS: Streaming Website Now User Friendly; NATAS Confirms Red Carpet Presentation
on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 @ 5:43 PM
After announcing plans to stream "The 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" for the first time online on Sunday, June 22, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) has updated daytimeemmys.net for a user friendly experience.
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: If No TV Deal, Daytime Emmys Will Be Streamed Online
on Thursday, May 1, 2014 @ 12:56 AM
While we wait to find out who is nominated for the "41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" when nominations are announced on Thursday, May 1, David Michaels, Senior Executive Director and Co-Executive Producer of the awards show, which falls under the purview of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), which is not to be confused with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (now known as simply the Television Academy), recently took time to speak with Soap Opera Network about the upcoming broadcast that still finds itself without a TV home after cable network HLN announced earlier this year that they had passed on airing daytime television's most highly anticipated event. The network previously aired the ceremony in 2012 and 2013 to record ratings.

Travelers flying out of Jacksonville International Airport will be able to pass through security checkpoints faster in October if they have elite flying designations with airlines or purchase premium prepaid monthly parking at the airport.
The Jacksonville Aviation Authority announced on Monday it will offer the "fast lane" for security screening of passengers. The "express lane will be especially good news for our frequent business travelers," spokesman Michael Stewart said.
The Authority also plans to bring back a registered traveler program that would let other fliers use the express lane if they pay an annual fee, which would probably be between $75 and $150. The authority has not set a date for when the registered traveler program will return.

Interferometry based technique for intensity profile measurements of far IR beams
Applied Optics, Vol. 46, Issue 18, pp. 3821-3828 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (791 KB)
We present a novel, to the best of our knowledge, method for measuring the intensity profile of far-IR beams.
The method is based on the measurements of nonstationary variation in optical thickness of a
fused-silica plate heated by the studied radiation. The optical thickness is observed by
means of a reflecting interferometer. Purpose-made experimental setup allows one to
measure beams with an aperture of up to

Optical architecture design for detection of absorbers embedded in visceral fat |
Biomedical Optics Express, Vol. 5, Issue 5, pp. 1453-1464 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (7549 KB)
Optically absorbing ducts embedded in scattering adipose tissue can be injured during laparoscopic surgery. Non-sequential simulations and theoretical analysis compare optical system configurations for detecting these absorbers. For absorbers in deep scattering volumes, trans-illumination is preferred instead of diffuse reflectance. For improved contrast, a scanning source with a large area detector is preferred instead of a large area source with a pixelated detector.

Biocompatibility of poly (DL-lactic acid/glycine) copolymers
Schakenraad, J.M. and Dijkstra, P.J. (1991) Biocompatibility of poly (DL-lactic acid/glycine) copolymers. Clinical Materials, 7 (3). pp. 253-269. ISSN 0267-6605
Abstract: | In this review the authors discuss the polymer chemical, physical and cell biological aspects of poly (DL-lactic acid/glycine) copolymers, both in vitro and in vivo.
The mechanism and rate of degradation and the degree of foreign body reaction were evaluated as a function of the molecular composition of the (co)polymer, its initial molecular weight and changes in crystallinity. Data from the literature concerning poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid) and poly(amino acids) are included in this review. The choice to apply the polymers mentioned was determined by their nature: all are present in the human body as natural residues. Upon degradation, biocompatibility will thus not be impaired. The authors conclude that the degradation mechanism of poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid) and poly(amino acids) are similar, i.e. bulk hydrolysis of ester bonds. The initial molecular weight and the chemical composition, determine the rate of degradation and the degree of foreign body reaction. |

It provides flexible hours. It's good for the engineers who want to work remotely. I have never met a couple of engineers in the same group for about four years. It provides a good benefit package. It has good QA teams.
No innovation, that's a biig problem in this company. It tries to retain the senior engineers (more thatn 10, 15 years with the company) because they can read/understand the lagacy code. Managers are afraid of losing them. Managers cut loose the less senior ones if downsized.
Advice to Management
The company needs new "blood" from outside. The new college gradutes are not new "blood". Try to recruit engineers from Google, Microsoft, and the others. Seniority kiils the innovation.

Post-Trading Committees
The Post-Trading Standing Committee (PTSC)
It is composed of representatives of the 28 EU national authorities (where there is more than one national authority in a Member State those authorities will agree which of their heads will represent them), with one observer from the European Commission, from Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein. It undertakes ESMA's work relating to clearing and settlement of transactions in financial instruments, including the roles of financial market infrastructures and any other entities providing post-trading services.
In particular, the PTSC is responsible for elaborating advice to the European Commission, and technical standards and guidelines and recommendations relating to the Regulation on OTC Derivatives, Central Counterparties and Trade Repositories. The PTSC is also responsible for developing ESMA's policy on the regulation of central securities depositories (CSDs) and on the regulatory and supervisory implications of the TARGET2-Securities project.
Finally, the PTSC fosters supervisory convergence among the national authorities in its area of competence.
Any correspondence regarding the work of PTSC should be sent to post-trading[at]esma.europa.eu.
Consultative Working Group
The PTSC is supported by a Consultative Working Group (PT CWG) made up of external stakeholder representatives.

Gay Republican assaulted for political activism
This morning, Daily Caller was kind enough to publish an article I wrote about a vicious assault done to Kyle Wood, a gay volunteer for a Republican campaign in Wisconsin. Kyle ended up in the hospital:
Kyle Wood, a full-time volunteer working for GOP House candidate Chad Lee, was hospitalized for injuries suffered during what he said was an assault at his home.
Wood told The Daily Caller that vandalism preceding the assault, along with his attacker's statements during the incident, suggested his sexual orientation and his politics each played a role.
"I was getting ready for work and there was a knock at the door," Wood emailed The Daily Caller late Wednesday. "I opened it, and a guy wrapped a ligature around my neck, slammed my head into the doorway, and smashed my face into a mirror, telling me 'You should have kept your [f*******] mouth shut.'"
"He then kidney-punched me, while at the same time saying I was 'warned,' and continued to beat me," he added.
Wood said his attacker's reference to a warning likely pointed to graffiti he found painted on his car last week. The vandalism included the phrases "house trained republican faggot," "traitor," and "ur like a jew 4 hitler."
After he discovered the graffiti, Wood wrote an open letter on Facebook to the unknown vandal. "If you understand either freedom or me at all," he wrote, "you would that this will only make me work harder. … You can think whatever you like about me, but I will not be bullied into voting for a gay man simply because I am gay."
He's also standing up against his unknown assailant:
"I will not be bullied, intimidated or threatened into abandoning my moral values," Wood told TheDC late Wednesday.

I am a women born in israel leave in Haifa
I have 2 apartment which I rent for short terms
Ana has completed online and offline ID verification.
Ana's apartment is really comfortable and clean. The kitchen is also OK, and that's nice to cook there. My little sister enjoyed being in the garden with flowers and beautiful stones (near the windows), it's nice that the garden is closed and children could play there. The apartment located close to Bahai Gardens. We walked also to Stella Maris Church, it's about 25 min.
Ana was very welcoming and hospitable, she made us feel at home from the first moment! She helped us out with directions and advice. The apartment is very nice, and the location is great (10 minute walk to Bahai Gardens and 15-20 minute walk to Stella Maris monastery and the cable car to the shore). Very beautiful view from the top of the mountain. Supermarket and bus stops are very close. We had a great time there!
Ana was nice and friendly. She was happy to suggest places to go and was very responsive. Her places is right near the top of the Carmel mountain.
Ana was a kind host who made us most welcome, and checked that we had everything we needed. It is a self contained apartment in a residential area of Stella Maris close to buses (5 minutes walk) with a small shop opposite. Like most apartments, no breakfast is offered.Wifi and cable TV was most welcome thanks.
We had good time in Haifa. Ana was very nice and helpful. The appartment is walking distance to Stella Maris. The buses go into central Haifa quite often.
Ana was very sweet and helpful with all our needs. The home was perfect for our family of 5 and the location could not have been better for visiting the Baha'i Gardens. We would definitely stay there again!
Two things to say : 1/ Ana is a very welcoming and kind person. She was waiting for me outside and take a lot of time to explain everything in the appartment, offering me biscuits for my first time in Haïfa, explaining me all what I needed, which buses to take to go to the baha'ai gardens, the german colony... She knows a lot about Haïfa history and we have had good moments speaking together. 2/ the appartment has all what you need to be in a good place during your trip, to cook your food, to rest, to be connected with yours friends with internet. I definitely recommand this place and I will take news of Ana and come back here next time I have to be in Haïfa.
Very good location. An apartment is well-equipped and convenient. I do recommend.
Ana was very friendly and made early checkin possible for us, which was great. She also provided a helpful city map and WIFI was always available. The apartment ist close to the Bahaij Shrine and the bus connection is perfect. There is also always space for parking if needed. The apartment itself has a good price for value given the circumstances that housing in Israel is quite expensive and standards are below the ones in Europe. Apartment looks like on the pictures but is already quite old, also the furniture.
Quiet, safe and peaceful area located on the mountain. The apartment is spacious and clean, the kitchen is equipped with everything necessary, always in the presence of tea and coffee in the shower has everything you need. The apartment is quiet, after our travels and walks in Haifa and neighbourhood, we could sleep quietly at night or by day, and always with open windows. Via the rear door the apartment there is an exit in green garden, it is very beautiful. Opposite the house there is a small shop where you can buy practically all goods. In five minutes of walk from the house there is a large store. Ana is a very kind person and very a caring hostess, very convenient that she lives nearby.
Purtroppo con Ana non è stata una bella esperienza. L'ho accolta in casa mia come tutti gli ospiti, come una di famiglia. Non posso dire lo stesso di lei. E' stata abbastanza irrispettosa della struttura e degli altri ospiti. Lei stessa è voluta restare due giorni in più, ed alla fine del soggiorno non li voleva pagare. Non voglio aggiungere altro, io spero che il suo comportamento a casa mia è stato un caso isolato.
La signora Ana è stata un ospite molto gentile, molto preparata e precisa nei suoi spostamenti, si interessava e chiedeva informazioni su tutto quello che visitava. Spero che gli sono stato di aiuto nella sua visita ad Alberobello. Inoltre ho visto che è molto generosa,spero che della permanenza in casa mia gli resta un buon ricordo,ciao Ana
A very sweet lady, smart, polite, clean and respectful of the house's rules is been a pleasure to host her she is welcome back when she want
Ana is such a nice guest - polite, clean, reliable! I appreciated hosting her.

The former world No. 1 Djokovic, who is the top seed despite being No. 2 in the world rankings, beat Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 on Centre Court. Leading 3-2 in the third set and with Simon serving, Djokovic slipped while going for a forehand shot and fell hard to the grass. The Serbian was in obvious pain as he grabbed his upper left arm. Djokovic received medical treatment to his left shoulder before finishing out the match. The 27-year-old Djokovic, who's coached by three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker, won his title in 2011.

Ledyard — A wind-fed fire tore through a home at 15 Chapman Lane in Gales Ferry Monday afternoon, heavily damaging about one-third of the structure and likely making it unlivable, fire officials said.
The residents were home at the time, but no injuries were reported. The fire marshal is investigating the cause.
The fire was first reported at 1:16 p.m. and Gales Ferry Fire Chief Anthony Saccone said firefighters arrived to find a fire blazing on the exterior of the Cape Cod-style home and pushing through blown-out windows into the interior. A sunroom had been destroyed completely by the time firefighters arrived.
Saccone said he immediately called in mutual aid from several surrounding towns in part because of the high winds that were spreading the fire. Crews from Gales Ferry joined with firefighters from Ledyard, Poquetanuck, Poquonnock Bridge, the Naval Submarine Base, Laurel Hill, Mohegan, Mashantucket, Old Mystic and Mohegan Tribal.
Firefighters fought the blaze with water from a hydrant on Route 12, Saccone said.
"The guys made a good stop, all things considered," he said.
Town records show the house, built in 1997, is owned by Brian Osborne.
Groton Ambulance, American Ambulance, Ledyard police and the Salvation Army Canteen also responded.

Fog: A High-Performance Alternative To Cairo
Published on 04 March 2012 06:59 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Free Software
7 Comments
While Cairo gets much of the spotlight when it comes to a 2D vector graphics drawing library, there's another open-source project that claims to provide even faster performance and greater benefits; meet the Fog-Framework.
Fog-Framework, unlike Cairo that's written in C, is written in C++ and made available under the MIT license. Fog-Framework provides a high-performance 2D vector graphics library with a platform-independent SVG engine and optional UI tool-kit.
For providing fast performance, the Fog-Framework engine is multi-threaded and does feature a JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler as well. Fog-Framework still relies upon underlying operating system APIs and libraries for handling basic tasks like loading image files and other system controls. The project has
posted benchmarks
indicating Fog to be much faster than Windows GDI+ and Cairo in a variety of tests.
Fog-Framework consists of Fog-Core (the platform abstraction component), Fog-G2d (the Vector 2D and imaging side), Fog-UI (the optional vector UI), and Fog-Svg (the SVG DOM, parser, and renderer).
The 2D graphics library component (Fog-G2d) was based upon the Anti-Grain Geometry project, but with a horde of improvements. Besides single and multi-threading optimizations, there is various CPU optimizations like for SSE3. At the moment, however, the 2D graphics library is just a CPU-based software rasterizer. Fog-Framework may be fast and outperforming the popular Cairo, but at the moment it's just running on the CPU and not poking the GPU like can be done under Cairo with some of its back-ends.
The project does have a lengthy to-do list / road-map as
listed here
. Besides the back-end shortage, another disadvantage compared to Cairo is at the moment it doesn't appear to have bindings for as many languages as Cairo. The open-source project is
hosted on Google Code
Other alternatives would be
the Skia library
that's used by Google and
, which is a replacement for Cairo within Mozilla Firefox.

He was given responsibility to execute Kochi project: MP
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) delegated powers to its Principal Adviser E. Sreedharan in March to execute the Kochi Metro Rail and other projects undertaken by the agency in Kerala, P. Rajeev, MP, told mediapersons here on Saturday.
Mr. Sreedharan was vested with full powers to execute the works, on establishment (administration), stores (purchase), and miscellaneous matters. He was also vested with full powers to prepare the detailed project report of the Thiruvananthapuram-Mangalore and the Bangalore High-Speed Rail Corridors and the Chennai Metro for which the DMRC is the prime consultant, Mr Rajeev said.
Mr. Rajeev's remarks come in the backdrop of a decision taken by the Director Board of Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) on Friday, to wait for DMRC's Director Board's consent till the KMRL handed over the implementation of the Kochi Metro to the DMRC. Union Urban Development secretary Sudhir Krishna, who is also KMRL Board chairman, cited a decision taken by the DMRC Board on October 15 that its consent was necessary for any metro project that the agency took up outside Delhi.
This stand taken by the KMRL Board had drawn flak, and allegations were made that it was aimed at keeping Mr. Sreedharan away from the project.
To substantiate his statement, Mr. Rajeev distributed copies of the DMRC order vesting full powers on Mr Sreedharan for implementing the metro and completing the works in three years, approved by its Managing Director Mangu Singh and signed by Karan Singh, the agency's executive director (HR).
He said the decision by the DMRC Board on October 15 was taken at the behest of Mr. Sudhir Krishna, despite it not being included in the agenda. "The intention is clear — they do not want the DMRC under Mr. Sreedharan to be involved with the Kochi Metro."
Even presuming that the DMRC Board has to decide the agency's participation in Kochi Metro, Friday's KMRL Director Board meeting should have passed a resolution demanding this. "Chief Minister Oommen Chandy should clarify why the Board members did not uphold the decision taken by the State Cabinet to give the work to the DMRC. Moreover, the government has not passed an order, despite two Cabinet decisions entrusting the metro's works with the DMRC," Mr. Rajeev said.
Krishna Iyer's demand
The former judge of the Supreme Court V.R. Krishna Iyer too was present at the media briefing. He said the supervision of Mr. Sreedharan was necessary to ensure timely completion of the metro project and to keep corruption at bay. Kochi needs such a mode of transport to overcome acute traffic congestion. Mr Sreedharan is an expert in the field and I am willing to take up this matter with the Prime Minister once again, he said. Mr. Rajeev and he had met the Prime Minister a few years ago, demanding that the Centre clear the project. "Members of the public want the metro to be handed over to the DMRC," Mr Iyer said and exhorted them to protest against attempts to derail the agency's involvement in the project.

"Perfect announcement with hospitality/welcome pineapple motif. Colorful with quality print and design. Perfect for our summer move."
"We used these announcements for an elderly aunt who we had to move into assisted living. We wanted something cheerful and this fit the bill: so bright and happy! Since we were on a budget, I loved that you could "downgrade" to a straight edge and eliminate any extra costs; but I thought all of the edging options looked great. I also liked that the text was 100% customizable. These arrived faster than I expected and were the usual good quality card stock. I highly recommend."
"Ordered 100 of these moving announcements in the navy color. We love them!! They are beautiful and elegant looking, unlike other moving announcements that I looked at. It is a postcard which we like. Highly recommend these."
"The cards were excellent and artistically appealing. It was a quick way to notify a lot of people and saved us a lot of time."
"Tiny Prints made this so quick and easy. I have already had people ask or compliment me on the card choice. Great cards!"

Whats the roughest waters for any sailing? (self.sailing)

Storms on the Great Lakes can get pretty nasty.
[–]obtuseparrot 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
That's what I was going to say. The massive fetch on Lake Michigan is a monster in the right kind of wind. Extremely steep, short period, and confused seas above 10ft are insane compared to ocean swells of any size. You hear a few horror stories, but because it's a lake and shelter is relatively close, most vessels just don't sail through the bad storms. The ones that get caught suffer greatly.
[–]Smackwater1 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I've sailed Lake Michigan over 30 k and I've seen it at its hairiest. She and superior are under rated according to meanness and spontaneity, though I don't think she can compare to the horn or other pinch spots in the world. She does have over four thousand shipwrecks andI have the utmost respect for that body of water, but the just the options to find harbor I think ban it from this thread. If you know what your doing (even somewhat) there is no reason to get caught in twenty footers on lake mich. Your always a day away from safe harbor no matter where you are or what your on.
[–]downbound 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Both don't reach the wing and wave intensity but the waves are MUCH steeper. Larger boats can get stuck on top of two at once and break apart by their own weight.

The definitive story of American health care todayits causes, consequences, and confusions

In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. It was the most extensive reform of America's health care system since at least the creation of Medicare in 1965, and maybe ever. The ACA was controversial and highly political, and the law faced legal challenges reaching all the way to the Supreme Court; it even precipitated a government shutdown. It was a signature piece of legislation for President Obama's first term, and also a ball and chain for his second.

Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a professor of medical ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania who also served as a special adviser to the White House on health care reform, has written a brilliant diagnostic explanation of why health care in America has become such a divisive social issue, how money and medicine have their ownquite distinctAmerican story, and why reform has bedeviled presidents of the left and right for more than one hundred years.
Emanuel also explains exactly how the ACA reforms are reshaping the health care system now. He forecasts the future, identifying six mega trends in health that will determine the market for health care to 2020 and beyond. His predictions are bold, provocative, and uniquely well-informed. Health careone of America's largest employment sectors, with an economy the size of the GDP of Francehas never had a more comprehensive or authoritative interpreter.

I have no file called 'menu.lst' in my grub directory. Does anyone know if things are different in Karmic?
I have no file called 'menu.lst' in my grub directory. Does anyone know if things are different in Karmic?
I didn't either - and that was why I wasn't able to boot directly into Ubuntu. I had to reinstall grub and then run "update-grub" which then asked me if I wanted to create a menu.lst which then solved my boot problem (after I edited it to accommodate the Dell Utility Partition on my Windows drive.)
I think the new equivalent is grub.cfg. I tried lots of different combinations of master and slave with my drives and couldn't even get Windows to boot up if I selected the drive manually in the Boot menu.
So I've given up on dual-booting and am going to set up a Virtual Box instead. Windows was on a very old 20GB hard-drive anyway, and it's probably best I get rid of it.
I wanted to add my set-up to the information in this tutorial, and thank Confused57 for making this tutorial.
I was able to use the information here in this thread to make a dual boot set-up of Ubuntu Studio 9.04 and Haiku.
I will describe my HD set-up:
Master SATA 160GB HD / SDc / ubuntu / start-up
Master SATA 80GB HD / SDb / blank / non-formated
Slave IDE 10GB HD / SDa / haiku / 2nd system
Please note that Ubuntu 9.10 and later use GRUB-2 and this is only for Ubuntu 9.04 or older.
Below is my GRUB list.

HI. this post has been really helpful so thanks. i've had problems doing this before, and i managed to get it working once so i'm fairly confident i can do it again... but something isn't quite working right.. so i could really use some help. Thanks in advance for any tips
Right now, i've got windows 7 installed on a slave 500 Gig IDE drive and ubuntu 9.10 freshly installed on a 250 Gig Sata drive. I installed them both seperately with only one hard drive connected at a time. when i boot with both hard drives connected it's not giving me the option to boot either, it just automatically boots into ubuntu. which is great because it means i can just go into terminal and change the boot bios right? so here's my drive configureation when i type :
sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sdb1 * 1 969018 488385040+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
So i think i just need to tweek the line that i put in the edited menu.lst
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
title Windows XP Professional
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
replace windows xp professional with Windows 7
and change the Hd0 HD 1 Lines but.. i cant figure what i need to change. any tips? or anything else i need to change? i tried putting it in unchanged just the way i pasted it there and i thought it would work.. but it didn't seem to do anything. I used to have XP and ubuntu running like this on 2 hard drives and it worked great so i hope i can figure this out. Thanks for your time!
GRUB 2 A Guide for Users
AUTHOR: Qqmike
On Reply #1 -POST 2-
Qqmike Recommend:
- Run First: grub install
sudo grub-install
before running
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

grub-mkconfig Detecting other OSs
grub-mkconfig automatically runs os-prober to detect other OSs on your PC (assuming os-prober is installed, which it will be in any normal installation).
grub-mkconfig: Is grub.cfg in sync with core.img?
=> Run first: grub-install
To be sure you get the best and the correct grub.cfg file, especially if there's been a change/update to core.img, it would be safe to run
sudo grub-install
before running
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Booting XP on a non-first hard drive The drivemap command in GRUB 2

For a more compact Method 2 and for technical notes and other useful details about how drivemap works, see Reply #17. (Later, Reply # 17 may be incorporated here.)
The Quick-and-Dirty Solution
Method 1
To boot Windows XP installed to (hd1,1), use the following menuentry (in a script you write as a text file (and make executable) in the folder /etc/grub.d):
# Method 1 -- a safe, sure way to do it
# This method applies to Windows and to FreeDOS
# Windows XP on sdb1 (= (hd1,1)
menuentry Windows XP on sdb1, by chainloader {
drivemap (hd0) (hd1)
drivemap (hd1) (hd0)
set root=(hd0)
chainloader (hd1,1)+1 }
=> The drivemap command in GRUB 2 replaces the map command in GRUB Legacy.
=> That's all you need to know to make your grub.cfg work.

USING -sudo grub-install- Herman recommend to specify the Disk you wish to Install Grub:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Where: /dev/sda is the disk you wish to install GRUB to, (boot.img to first hard disk MBR), otherwise use '/dev/sdb' for second hard disk or '/dev/sdc' for third hard disk

Ok. I am a complete noob with linux systems and have no real clue what I'm doing.
Have read through many posts about changing Grub and am having no luck.
Whenever I try to save an edited version of grub.cfg I get a 'could not save the file' error because it is read only and I do not have permission. I thought that using sudo would allow me to save it?
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Just discovered that on 9.10, it uses Grub2.0 and that you CANNOT edit grub.cfg, but have to change the default within /etc/default/grub instead.
Have just installed startup manager from the package list and am configured through that. Hopefully, it will do the job...

I havent had any luck here with my dual HD booting, as per this tutorial:
I got the required details into the grub menu and it all comes up great, the only problem is that when I hit the "Windows" option it says:
Error 21: Selected disc does not exist
Press any key to continue.....
When I do this Mint 7 loads as expected.
I have the HD1 cable plugged into the Linux HD and the HD2 cable plugged into the XP HD. The XP install was acatually done on this box, so I know it goes.
Normally in this machine HD1 cable goes to the XP HD, and the Mint HD is not there at all.
Both HDs were set with cable select positions for the jumpers, which is how the XP drive was installed too.
I then dicked about with the Jumpers.
Cable select for both HD's (Error 21)
Mint on cable select, Windows on slave (Error 21)
Mint on master, window on slave (No grub menu, just Error 21)
Has anyone got any clues on how to trouble shoot from here?
My bios says:
This is for my daughter. I want her to keep using Linux but want to have the windows boot as a last resort.Code:SATA Primary drive OFF SATA Seconday drive OFF Primary Master drive HARD DRIVE Primary Slave drive OFF Secondary master drive cdrom device Secondsary slave drive OFF IDE drive UDMA ON
Hi eljefe,
You might see if there is an option in your bios to turn on your primary slave controller:
I had a Dimension 4550, which would show grub error 21 if the primary slave controller was set to off...had to set it to "auto" to get Windows to boot properly.Code:SATA Primary drive OFF SATA Seconday drive OFF Primary Master drive HARD DRIVE Primary Slave drive OFF Secondary master drive cdrom device Secondsary slave drive OFF
Here's an excellent explanation of error 21 & possible causes:
