1972 Chevrolet Corvette
This lovely 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has been nicely preserved and includes a big block V8, making it the ideal combination of beauty and beast. It's certainly high-visibility and someone has clearly taken exceptional care of it throughout its life. Reasonably priced Corvettes are still out there, and there just can't be many nicer than this.Thanks to a lot of TLC throughout its life, the car needed no bodywork to achieve the brilliant finish you see today. It was originally code 912 Sunflower Yellow, but during a full repaint a few years ago, it was given a coat of brilliant code 973 Mille Miglia Red. Remarkably, Mille Miglia Red was one of the less common colors for 1972, accounting for only 2478 units that year, fewer than Elkhart Green, or even plain old Classic White. The finish is not too light, not too dark, but a strong, bold red that looks great on the timeless shape and is ideal for a performance car equipped with a 454. All the panel gaps are factory correct, and there's less orange peel in the paint than you received in 1972, thanks to careful prep and a good amount of time invested in buffing the finish. And when it comes to C3s, you're either a chrome bumper guy or a rubber bumper guy; this one sports the original style chrome units that frame the egg crate grilles up front and add interest to the flat rear panel. The stainless trim appears to be original, and even the accessory luggage rack on the rear deck is bright, shiny chrome with no issues.As a well-maintained car, the line between the original components and new pieces is blurry, but that's a good thing. The code 400 standard black interior shows just the right amount of patina, and it's difficult to determine what has been replaced. We suspect the door panels and seat covers are replacements, and the carpets look fantastic, almost too good to be original. The gauges are crisp and their lenses are scratch-free, more proof that someone cherished this car from day one. The center console is excellent, and houses the shifter for the automatic transmission, which is actually an excellent choice with the torquey big block. Other features include a newer AM/FM/CD stereo system, a set of Stingray-logo floor mats, and a 3-spoke wheel that looks great. Pull the T-tops and hit the road!The engine is a neatly-dressed 454 cubic inch big block V8 that gives this Corvette enough potency that most cars are still advised to leave it alone. The engine bay shows signs of maintenance throughout its life, and though much of it has been restored and the engine rebuilt, the condition of the inner fenders and firewall suggest that this car has always been clean. Details like the chrome air cleaner and valve covers add a lot of eye candy, along with that traditional Chevy Orange paint. The smooth big block runs beautifully, starting almost instantly and it sounds awesome exhaling through a set of long-tube headers into a healthy dual exhaust system with Flowmaster Mufflers. It's tidy underneath, not detailed for show but with no warning signs, either, and with a set of classic Rally wheels, it looks the part of a performance icon.Clean, honest Corvettes don't get much nicer than this, especially if you're the kind of guy who likes to just jump in and go. This one represents a lot of big block fiberglass for not a lot of money. Call today!

text: Moving Towards a New Admission Process Submitted by: Orsolya O.Szabo (Hungary), HEC Paris Summary: Business schools have been rigidly using a limited set of traditional selection methods such as tests, resumes, essays and interviews. In order to select the most promising candidates, graduate management education needs to catch up to best-in-class corporations by adopting novel yet proven selection methods. The recommended approach is expected to increase diversity in the classroom and, in turn, in business globally. Full Description: From human resources management, more specifically a recruitment point of view, graduate management admission processes seem to be rather outdated. Business schools, including top-ranked institutions, have been rigidly using a limited set of traditional selection methods such as tests, resumes, essays and interviews. In order to select the most promising candidates, business schools need to catch up to best-in-class corporations by adopting novel yet proven selection methods, which have been confirmed to possess higher predictive validity then traditional instruments. Above all, incorporating Assessment Centers in the selection process could add a great value to the evaluation of candidates. Social skills are largely neglected by the current practice. Using group simulations to assess social behavior, such as collaboration, leadership or influencing, would be essential, as social competencies are key to success in business school, let alone in business. With business scenarios and in-basket exercises, individual competencies could also be evaluated more thoroughly than by essays or interviews. The sole use of essays in the written application seems not only outdated but also one-dimensional. Presentations, films, posters, flyers, blogs, etc. are recommended as alternatives to give more space to candidates who are stronger in these domains. Although verbal and writing skills are important in business, testing these skills only can severely distort the judgment of candidates. Following the pioneers of candidate assessment of the corporate arena would unquestionably result in a shift in emphasis towards "demonstrating by doing" in the selection process. As a consequence, graduate business institutions, including the most selective schools, are expected to admit prosperous students who cannot excel from the crowd based on test results and essays only, however, possess extraordinary skills in other fields relevant to business. The approach is also expected to decrease the admission of candidates who use significant external resources in completing their application file or gain admission mainly due to the highly predictable nature of the current practice. The new selection model would inevitably increase diversity in the classroom and, in turn, in business globally. The more schools adopt these methods, the larger impact can be reached – even within a 2-3 years time frame. Assessment Centers, let alone the alternative channels to present one's professional background, career goals or strengths, are easily available to any institution regardless of geographic location, rank or ownership structure. Several consulting firms specialize in developing tailor-made yet standardized Assessment Centers and train professionals involved in the selection to use them with confidence and high efficiency. The incorporation of novel tools in the selection process is primarily the question of recognizing the need for change. An obstacle may lie in that admission professionals are not aware of the strong methodological background and added value these methods could bring. First of all, schools need to note their high predictive validity, diverse nature and flexibility by consulting with HR professionals of leading corporations and external experts of the field. Another issue to note is that developing a new admission procedure requires time and financial commitment; schools need to invest in the innovation. This may prevent some institutions from being pioneers. An immediate impact is likely to lie in the early adoption by top-ranked schools, which, in turn, would be followed by many other programs. Later, however, the application of alternative processes is neither highly costly nor significantly more time consuming than that of current practices making them accessible to all business schools.

Press Release:
"Girl Watcher Lens" was one part of my MFA show at UCSD in 1972 under the heading of Surveillance. The "Lens" was also used at the same time to photograph students talking with each other (about revolution, of course) which I intended to work up into another part with a kind of police state frame; the antiwar movement at the time was under significant recorded monitoring with still and moving cameras, microphones and phone taps by local and national police agencies. That "part" just did not get done in time for show and I moved on after it.
"Girl Watcher Lens" started with the ad exhibited and purchase of the lens. I needed a telephoto lens anyway to fill out my camera equipment and it was very inexpensive.
By 1972, feminism was completely imbedded in the student movement at UCSD. National movement literature attention was robust with the issues of gender equality and in, and around classes, informal groups and organizations there was a forceful presence of feminist women. And, of course, there were all the denials and push backs. I was then one of the men, young and older, who aligned with the women and considered ourselves as male feminists or, at least, fellow travelers. The "Lens" provided me an opportunity to attempt a provocative artwork which would be exhibited in the ground floor gallery of the library which appears in the background of many of the photos. Others were taken in the outdoor tables by the newly constructed Muir Campus cafeteria.
I viewed the photography as a parody of the selling point of the "Girl Watcher Lens" to male photographers. Parody, of course, can be risky in that some viewers may not "get" that intent and others who do get it may question its motives or find it problematic or even offensive anyway. I wondered what kind of reception the work would have given that the women photographed were students and many had been photographed only a few weeks earlier in the large Revelle Campus plaza right outside the gallery.
So, the strategy of "shooting" and printing was to frame women bodies in whole or in part to provide the visual cues for what I later came to know as the "male fetish." It would be a few more years before I became aware of the "gaze." I had been made aware of the fragmentizing mode of male erotic stimulation so went for it with the lens. The culture had long recognized that there were leg, breast, etc., guys and movies, magazines, etc. played to these tropes. And, it was all played out in public where even by late spring most of the women were pretty much clothed. And the gaze goes on visually, mentally, in print and in our dreams, no? But, there was little reaction to my MFA show; not even "29 Arrests" came back to me. The gallery had Work Study sitters so we were all only intermittently present for our exhibitions and the art department was a fair distance away. If I did something like this now, I would have done a lot of outreach on the campus: leaflet the plaza frequently for one. The next fall a group of us exhibited together (in the same gallery) the "Vacation Village Trade Show: A Raw Material Piece" where a much wider representation was made with photos of photographers "shooting models," a text by Allan Sekula, an audio tape of interviews with models and photographers and several pages of camera magazine ads pretty much along the same lines as the "Girl Watcher Lens" ad. By this time, much of the "movement" had implicated capitalism into our broad social critiques.
So, what to make of a work about the male fetish and gaze by a male? On simplistic levels, there are the affective/mental sides of these things including their non-visual aspects and then there are behaviors. These all are related but in enormously varied ways socially and at the individual level of any specific male. And the reaction to all this varies quite a bit among feminist women. Also, there are distinctions that many would make between levels of sexual imagery and I provided three for consideration as examples of "Pornography": "Genteel," "Soft Core" and "Hard Core." Just using that term was an intended provocation. Are these types of images equally damaging in their impacts on women and gender relations? In the case of "Lens," is undressing selected women with our minds a gender crime? It is easiest to answer if we can point to behavior and there was no doubt in my thinking at the time that as complicate as it may be in the hearts and minds of men, we do act out. Broadly speaking, then, there are two audiences to wrestle with the implications of all this. Women were having consciousness raising groups to do just that. Us guys were (are) pretty much on our own except in our relations with women. Given the patriarchal tendency to judge women heavily on the visual, what should women who what to be judged on other attributes instead of or in addition to looks, do? Can men who want to change in their erotic attractions do so? Without going deeper than behavior, will there not be leaks and seepages into other or all relations with women but especially in the most intimate spaces?
And now? In the labor movement here one often hears, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Well, a lot has changed but I observe that the conventions of female attractiveness are pretty much the same. Certainly, Hollywood and Madison Ave. replay the same cards over and over and are to be seen all over the planet. In my mind, this indicates that social change will have to go very far to provide gender equality and I do not know how that would be possible with the existence of social classes. In a couple more years, my whole practice shifts to dealing with gender, "race," orientation, etc. within the frames of class struggle.

The name, sight and sound of the powerful, piscine and stingray-like Avro Vulcan, after all these years, still generates a thrill in my gut that starts somewhere down low below the belt and rises up to fill the heart. The chest-pounding concussion of its four Bristol Olympus engines was, to my young mind, a thunderous warning from the gods to think twice about messing with the British. Its name was so perfectly in sync with its role and its powerful beauty—Vulcan—the hammer-wielding Roman god of fire and volcanoes. The name Vulcan brought to mind the flaming apocalypse of thermonuclear warfare and the power of man to destroy his world—in an elegant way. Its power over the active imagination of a young boy survives to this day. The god-like Vulcan still resides in the pantheon of the most beautiful and iconic aircraft ever built—something the British are particularly good at as witnessed by the Spitfire, Mosquito, Lightning and Concorde. Its appearance at the beginning of the James Bond film Thunderball cemented its place as an icon of the Cold War and in the imaginations of pre-pubescent boys.
As late as 1975, I witnessed the flight of a Vulcan at the Ottawa Air Show, held at Uplands when that base was still a major and very active RCAF Station. I can still see its broad back glinting like burnished armour in the flat sunlight of that late spring day. Its demonstration that day would have been the perfect time to be a pickpocket, for there was not a single face among the throng that was not turned toward this thundering elasmobranch. Everything about the Vulcan evokes awe, not the least of which is its dramatic name. But, Vulcan was not the name first put forward to the Air Ministry by Avro. Not even close.
The famous (some say infamous) Avro Vulcan prototype VX770 (with four Rolls-Royce Avon engines) showing off the breathtakingly beautiful and futuristic shape of the Vulcan's massive delta wing. VX770 was equipped with the early straight-edged leading edge wing. Everything about this aircraft would make it the darling of the V-force bombers, inspire the nation and keep it flying as a bomber well into the 1980s. VX770 had a catastrophic wing failure during a climbing turn at an air show at RAF Syerston in 1958. The crew of 4 was killed as were three on the ground. Photo: Avro
At the time of the construction of the first prototypes, the Royal Air Force had a long-standing tradition of naming their bombers after cities, dating back to the beginning of the Second World War. Many of these aircraft have come to stand for the finest men, women and machines that the Royal Air Force ever put into harm's way—the mighty Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster. While the cities that these aircraft were named after evoke little imagery in the minds of us Canadians, their names will forever represent the courage, tenacity and sacrifice of more than 10,000 Canadian men who went to war in them and did not return.
When the Royal Air Force took receipt of more than 80 Boeing B-29 Superfortresses in the early 1950s, they chose to rename them Washingtons after the American capital city in honour of their American roots. By the time the last of the Washingtons were being flown back to the USA, A.V. Roe and Company (Avro) was contemplating a new name for their new and massive delta-winged heavy jet bomber. Having flown for the first time in August of 1952, the new aircraft, temporarily called the Avro 698, did not yet have a name when it flew at the Farnborough Air Show the following September. Avro, thinking along more traditional lines, had the name of a city in mind—Ottawa. I kid you not! Avro of Great Britain strongly recommended the name of Canada's sleepy capital city as a way of honouring the company's corporate connection with the über-creative Avro Canada which, by this time, was developing some extremely advanced aircraft designs—the Avro Jetliner (the world's second jet airliner after the Comet), the Avro Canuck all-weather interceptor and the truly magnificent Avro Arrow.

The two Avro Vulcan prototypes (VX770 and VX777) fly in formation with four Avro 707s, the Vulcan's proof-of-concept progenitors. This was at Farnborough in 1953, by which time the name Ottawa was forgotten—thankfully. Photo: Wikipedia
While I am extremely proud to call myself an Ottawan, I am the first person to say, "What were they thinking?" Ottawa was in those days a small city of some 280,000 civil servants, lumbermen, railroad people, office workers and their families. Though it was on Moscow's target list to take receipt of a fistful of nuclear warheads, it was as far from representing the near-supersonic, fire-breathing white chariot of the apocalypse as, say, a squirrel might be. Like the Spitfire, this new flying nemesis of communism would need a name that inspired awe and fear. Ottawa was just not going to do it. As much as we Ottawans appreciate the honour, were are forever grateful (as is all of Great Britain I am sure) that Avro was convinced to let that name drop.
The British weekly magazine Flight threw out some ideas including Albion, Avenger, Apollo and Assegai (not a great name, but apparently a long, iron-tipped spear). Nice try Flight! The Chief of the Air Staff, Marshal of the Air Force Sir John Slessor stepped in with the idea of a V-Force of bombers and a month later, the Avro 698 became the Vulcan—the Roman God of Fire and Destruction. Appropriate indeed. Other members of the V-Force were the Handley Page Victor and the Vickers Valiant, but it was and still is the Avro Vulcan that captures the imagination of the world.
Perhaps the name Ottawa, if given half a chance, would have one day become synonymous with impending doom and mutually assured destruction. After all, a little old lady from Illinois by the name of Enola Gay Haggard is now and forever connected to the same Armageddon scenario. I doubt it though.

The City Bombers
I'm not certain that the Bristol Blenheim was named for a city—more likely after Blenheim Palace or perhaps the Battle of Blenheim, where John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough defeated the French. Regardless of the origin of the name... there is the city of Blenheim in New Zealand to be considered. Here, three Blenheims from No. 13 Operational Training Unit at RAF Bicester hold position perfectly in echelon right. No. 13 OTU was associated with 6 Group, Bomber Command which was comprised of squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The Handley Page Hereford was named after the county city of Herefordshire near the Welsh border. The Hereford differed from the Hampden in that it was powered by the completely unreliable Napier Dagger engine which offered no appreciable performance over the Bristol radials of the Hampden. They were soon pulled from service. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The Bristol Bombay, named after the city that is now called Mumbai, was designed as a transport for the RAF with the ability to function as a medium bomber. Used mostly as a transport and supply aircraft, its bombing career was as a night bomber in the North African campaign. The design bomb load of 250 lb bombs under the fuselage was supplemented by improvised bombs thrown out of the cargo door by hand! Only 51 were constructed. Photo: Imperial War Museum
Similar in many repsects to the Bristol Bombay, the Handley Page Harrow was named after the London suburb of Harrow. The two had about the same performance qualities, except that the Bombay had nearly twice the range of the Harrow. Photo: Dan Shumaker Collection, via 1000AircraftPhotos.com
The Armstrong Whitworth Whitley was one of three medium bombers available to Bomber Command at the outset of the war—the Hampden and Wellington being the others. Despite being obsolete by the time of the war, some 1,800 Merlin-powered Whitleys (mostly Mk IVs) were built, seeing service in a wide variety of roles. The two examples above are Coastal Patrol aircraft with 612 Squadron, based in Iceland. The Whitley's major flaw was that it could not maintain altitude on a single engine. It also flew with a pronounced nose-down attitude—due to a wing that was set at a high angle of attack (AOA). The wing's AOA was set in this manner because the original design had no flaps. Even after flaps were added to the design, the wing's angle never changed. It had a snooty aristocratic look about it, and was named after the West Midlands town of Whitley, a suburb community near Coventry and the place where one of Armstrong Whitworth's factories was situated. The same Whitley plant site is now home to Jaguar Cars Limited and houses its design, research and development facilities. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The Vickers Wellington was the most capable of the medium bombers available to the RAF's Bomber Command at the start of the war. Wellingtons of No. 9 and No. 149 Squadrons, along with Bristol Blenheims, participated on the first offensive attacks by Great Britain in the Second World War—attacks on German shipping and naval vessels at Brunsbüttel Roads at the western mouth of the Kiel Canal. The Wellington, nicknamed the "Wimpey", was unique among the aircraft of the Second World War in that its fuselage construction was largely fabric over a geodesic structure—designed by Barnes Wallis, the genius armaments designer who devised the bouncing bomb used by the Dam Busters later in the war. The criss-crossing framework of the geodesic concept allowed the Wellington to absorb considerable damage and still return safely to base. While the aircraft was named after Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, one could also claim that since the city of Wellington in New Zealand was also named after Wellesley, the aircraft was therefore named after a city. Photo: Imperial War Museum
An amazing photograph of the Wellington's (and Warwick's) unique geodesic structure, over which wood battens were laid to accept the fabric outer skins of both aircraft types. Photo: Imperial War Museum
Named after the small city of Warwick in Warwickshire, the heavy two-engine Vickers Warwick was developed along with the Wellington and was its larger counterpart, sharing the same geodesic structure. Its use was limited compared to it smaller sister, the Wellington—842 built to the Wellington's 11,460 airframes. It saw use as a transport, Coastal Command patrol bomber, air-sea rescue aircraft (with underslung lifeboat as above), and maritime recce platform. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The last of the piston-engined Vickers City bombers—the Vickers Armstrongs Windsor, named after the great city in Berkshire and the home of Windsor Castle. Only three prototype Windsors ever flew, the type being pretty well eclipsed by later variants of the Lancaster. This photo shows the yellow underbelly and P roundel of experimental aircraft in the RAF during the war. Wikipedia tells us "The Windsor used [Barnes] Wallis's geodetic body and wing structure that Vickers had previously used in the Wellesley, Wellington and Warwick bombers. Instead of doped Irish linen however, a stiff and light skin was used on the Windsor, made with woven steel wires and very thin (1/1000 inch thickness) stainless steel ribbons, doped with PVC or other plastic, specially designed to avoid ballooning. To properly fit the skin to the frame, a tuning fork had to be used. The wings' structure had no spars. Instead, it was a single hollow geodetic tube from tip to tip, passing through the fuselage truss. ... The wing was designed so that the tips had a noticeable droop on the ground, but was straight in flight, so the skin had to be fitted tighter on top than on the bottom to be evenly tight in flight." The Windsor had many unique features, not the least of which was its tall dagger-board-like tail, pressurized cockpit and gunner positions and four main gear oleos, each extending from an engine nacelle (lower photot).

The Avro Manchester, named after the Lancashire/Cheshire city of Manchester on the River Mersey, was a rare Avro failure of the war. Only 202 airframes were built, and though its performance was poor, it did see limited service with both the RAF and the RCAF. The problem with the Manchester was largely in its very unreliable pair of 24-cylinder Rolls-Royce Vulture X-engines (two opposing V-12s). The aircraft was both unreliable and underpowered and crews hated them. The engines were not only unreliable, the aircraft could not maintain altitude on a single engine—a recipe for disaster. In trying to make the Manchester a better aircraft, the Mk III was given a longer wing and four Merlin engines, and thus the Lancaster was born. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The Douglas A-20 Havoc became the Boston when employed by the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces as a light bomber and attack aircraft. Perhaps it was an understated reference to the Boston Tea Party, one of the seminal acts of rebellion that ended with America's independence from England. During the course of the war, 24 Commonwealth squadrons were equipped with the Boston. Some were converted to Turbinlite standard. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The Short Stirling was the Royal Air Force's first four-engine heavy bomber of the Second World War. It was named after the city of Stirling, known as the "Gateway to the Highlands", and which was once the capital of Scotland. The Short Stirling was hamstrung by an Air Ministry requirement that limited its wingspan (based on an existing hangar door width), which resulted in performance issues. While it was required to have approximately the same wingspan as the Lancaster and Halifax, it was considerably taller and longer. The Stirling had a limited strategic bombing career, being relegated to second line duty by late 1943. It continued as a mine laying aircraft, glider tug and transport until the end of the war. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The Handley Page Halifax was, along with the Avro Lancaster, the true backbone of Bomber Command operations in the latter part of the war, with nearly 6,200 manufactured. The aircraft was named after the city of Halifax in the West riding of Yorkshire. The "Hali-Bag" was built in a number of marks, and was powered by four Merlins or four Bristol Hercules radial engines. The Halifax was better than the Lancaster in terms of crew survivability, but performed marginally less at higher altitudes. It did not capture the imaginations of the citizenry like the Lancaster would do—likely because the Lanc was used in several famous operations like the Dam Busters Raid and attacks on French coastal submarine pens of the Kriegsmarine. The Halifax equipped 15 squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. There are only two restored examples in the world today, but the Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton, Alberta is presently collecting parts with the intent to have a restored Halifax with running engines (God bless them). Photo: Imperial War Museum
The star of the film The Dam Busters, the Avro Lancaster became the poster girl for Bomber Command night operations against Nazi facilities in occupied Europe and on German cities. They were made in large numbers (7,377) including 430 at Victory Aircraft in Malton, Ontario. The last Lancaster was retired from service with the RCAF in 1963. Unlike the Halifax, a number of Lancs still exist today, with two in flying condition (Hamilton, Ontario and the UK) and two in running condition (Nanton, Alberta and the UK). Photo: Imperial War Museum
Designed originally as a later mark of the Lancaster, the new type was renamed the Lincoln after the East Midlands city and county town of Lincolnshire. It was the last piston-engined bomber used by the Royal Air Force and saw service until 1963, by which time the RAF's Bomber Command went all-jet. Photo: Imperial War Museum
The RAF operated 87 Boeing B.29 Superfortresses from August 1950 until early 1954 as a stopgap until jet-powered British Electric Canberras arrived as well as the later V-bombers. In keeping with the British tradition of naming bombers after cities, the B.29s became known as B.1 Washingtons in RAF service—in honour of the American capital city—and were acquired under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program. The last in use with the RAF left in 1958. Photo: 44sqn.com
The English Electric Canberra was named after the Australian capital city. In addition to the 900 built in Great Britain, the Canberra was license built in Australia and the United States (as the Martin B.57 Canberra). An incredibly capable aircraft in many roles, the Canberra was a stable bombing platform capable of prodigious distances and altitudes. Pictured here is an early model Martin B.57 Canberra flying over Chesapeake Bay near the Martin plant. Three WB.57 Canberras still fly today with NASA—as high altitude research aircraft.

How to Boot a Compaq Presario in Safe Mode
Compaq Presario computers, like most conventional office workstations under Windows, enable users to boot into Safe Mode. This feature provides an efficient way for computer administrators to troubleshoot ongoing software and hardware problems. A Safe Mode session loads only the necessary services to run the operating system, allowing technicians to better analyze any particular issue bedeviling your business computer.
Turn on your computer, or restart it if the operating system is already loaded.
Press and hold the "F8" key while your computer restarts, just before the Windows logo displays on the screen. If your computer contains multiple operating systems, first highlight the one you wish to boot into Safe Mode using the arrow keys, then press the "F8" key.
Navigate to the "Safe Mode" option using the arrow keys, then press "Enter." Allow several seconds for the session to load.
- The Safe Mode with Networking option enables Internet connectivity, which is otherwise disabled in the regular Safe Mode setting.
- In serious cases, the Recovery application found in the Control Panel allows you to restore system settings to a previous state, or completely reinstall the operating system.

Space Opera by Cat Valente – A Book Review
Last night I finished Space Opera by Cat Valente. It's a book that was recommended to me by a friend around the Eurovision time with a promise of glitter, glam, and the Eurovision in Space. I bought the book on Kindle and didn't get a chance to read it for a few months, by which… Read more

Dublin Diary (Seattle Edition) – What is home, anyway?
We arrived back in Dublin more than four weeks ago. I still don't feel quite settled. Since December 12th, I have slept in 8 different beds. Constantly moving like that is surprisingly stressful, and mentally tiring. And it has robbed me of the "coming home" sense that I felt entitled to after nearly three years away.… Read more

InstaNatural Review 5
6 comments:
I also have a lot of problems with migraines, so if you do happen to use it and it works let me know! I am willing to try just about anything at this point. lol! Migraines are miserable! I'm also interested to know how well the scar gel works. I have a bunch of them on my hands and face that I would like to fade away. Great review!ReplyDelete
Thanks Julie! I will let you know! My migraines typically build so I am going to try using the peppermint oil before it gets bad and see if it works!ReplyDelete
I love peppermint oils too. They work wonders!ReplyDelete
- Carrie @ Curly Crafty MomMarch 7, 2015 at 9:07 PM
I didn't know peppermint helped so much with headaches! Interesting!ReplyDelete
OK, all these 3 products sound like winners to me. I have a scar om my forehead, since I was about 4. I wonder if that scar gel will make it better. Also, I too suffer from migraines. I knew green mint was great for it but I must now try something with peppermint for my awful headaches. Thanks for writing these reviews, Laura. They have been helpful to me.ReplyDelete
I've never tried essential oil but I have heard great things about them! Peppermint oil especially for nausea. I bet it's a calming scent to use on a long day too!ReplyDelete

Update: ... bah
Business works via competition, and at the higher levels the better programmers are the ones that get hired. It is free market principles applied to hiring - in other words, competition implicitly decides who gets the jobs, not some silly shingle of paper. Even out of college, how often after that first job does it even matter what your undergraduate degree was in? Isn't that the ultimate, most expensive "certification" there is?
The only place I can see someone needing a certificate is for entry level positions when someone doesn't have a portfolio or real experience. Also, good programmers need not be experts in the language they are going to be using. A good programmer can use any language equally well, and learning the particular semantics and idiosyncrasies of a language poses minimal headache if they already know how to effectively program.
My point is that certifications are good for greenies trying to get their foot in the door, but what makes one get recognized as a good coder are the talents he nurtures and hones on his own.
Certifications are good for one thing for sure - they make whomever is issuing the certs lots of easy money, because where there is a demand (even an artificial one)... :)

Lady Liberty is Laura Loving's most popular image. She hangs in almost every state in the U.S. and in countries all over the world. This powerful symbol of the United States has always represented a progressive intellectual worldview. Lady Liberty has been a feminist long before women had the right to vote. The poem inscribed on her very body has preached the benefits of inclusivity and acceptance even when the many of our citizens struggle to get on board.
Shop Laura's most iconic piece here!
In the words of the artist... "Hands down, my favorite image is Lady Liberty. She is the first painting I created after moving to New York in the summer of 2000, which is where I've always wanted to live. I always have felt this image is a victory painting. Sometimes, I think it is a self-portrait. There is such an optimism and magic about this painting that even I don't understand. Lady Liberty helped me launch my career as a full-time artist and she brought me my first real commercial success. I have sold Lady Liberty again and again. I have been commissioned to paint her in all sizes, in daytime settings, in nighttime settings, for both public and private collectors. One of my former art professors once asked me if I ever tired of painting her. I don't, and I continue to see her in new ways."
All Lady Liberty images are available in prints on canvas and paper, ceramic tiles, note cards and original paintings. Read about the commission process here.

Here's a sad story for all you nerds out there. A Geek Squad employee has been accused of using a cellphone to record a young woman taking a shower. Instead of fixing two computers like he was supposed to, the guy placed his video capable cellphone in the woman's bathroom and was all ready to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Unfortunately for him, the woman discovered the cellphone and has now filed an invasion of privacy lawsuit against Best Buy and the Geek Squad.

Posted: 07/03/2017
Higgins Construction is searching for its next wave of apprentices through a series of events across London which have been organised to support this year's National Apprenticeship Week.
The company will be attending Hackney Apprenticeship Programme event and Southwark Construction Skill Centre Celebration Event on 6th March; The Apprenticeship Blueprint Event at The Oval Cricket Ground on 7th and Aspire Apprenticeship Open Evening in Angel on 8th March.
Higgins Construction is extremely committed to taking on apprentices across all its sites and over the past 10 years has recruited a minimum of 10 apprentices each year.
Steve Leakey, Managing Director of Higgins Construction comments, "As an organization we know that apprentices are at the heart of our business. With the acute shortage of labour and the ever-growing demand for new homes, we need to ensure that we encourage young people into the construction industry, and apprenticeships are an excellent way of doing this.
"We have had many success stories of apprentices working their way up through the organisation and these positions are not just for those looking to work on a site; there are also roles in residents' liaison, site administration, marketing and surveying."
Hayley Heath secured a position at Higgins Construction in July 2014 after a series of interviews where she was one of twelve potential candidates. Since joining the company she has studied for an NVQ Level 2 in Business Administration which she completed in December 2015.
Hayley comments, "I was working in retail for two years and felt that my career was going nowhere. When the opportunity came up for a Trainee Administrator at Higgins I was really interested. Although I hadn't worked in administration before, I heard that Higgins would provide training so I jumped at the chance. I went for an interview and got the job. At the same time, I was studying for a qualification – I couldn't have been happier."
Hayley impressed Higgins so much with her skills and commitment that she was made a permanent member of staff in February 2016 and is now Site Administrator at King Square, Islington.
Higgins apprentice Shane Chapman aged 20, works at Banbury Park in Walthamstow. He has just gained his NVQ Level Two in carpentry through Waltham Forest College and is now hoping to start is NVQ Level Three.
Shane comments, "I was studying carpentry at Waltham Forest College when I was approached by Higgins Construction to join their apprenticeship scheme at Banbury Park. Working on site as well as studying has really opened my eyes to how everything works in the industry and not just learning in the classroom. Seeing something being built from scratch and being part of it has made me much more interested in carpentry and wanting to further my training.
"My apprenticeship has meant I am working four days on site and have one day at college. The assessors them come to site and will take photos and watch me complete parts of my course, such as hanging doors. I highly recommend this route to anyone thinking about it."
Rory Turnbull, Projects Manager for Higgins Constructioncomments, "We are very pleased to see Shane reach his apprenticeship and move on to the next level of his training. Apprenticeships deliver important benefits to both apprentice and employer and are a great way of encouraging future generations into the industry."
2.4 million apprenticeships were started in England during the last Parliament and so far, 624,000 apprenticeship starts have been reported since May 2015. The government invested £1,559,771 in apprenticeships during 2014/2015; and are doubling the annual level of spending on apprenticeships between 2010-11 and 2019-20 in cash terms to £2.5 billion. Apprenticeships are available in 1.500 job roles, covering more than 170 industries.
National Apprenticeship Week, which runs from 6th to 10th March, was set up by the Government's National Apprenticeship Service and is designed to celebrate apprenticeships and the positive impacts they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy.

McDonald's USA First National Restaurant Chain to Serve MSC-Certified Sustainable Fish At All U.S. Locations
January 24, 2013 In recognition of its ten year commitment to sustainable fishing practices, McDonald's USA announced today it would become the first national restaurant chain to adopt the Marine Stewardship Council's blue ecolabel on its fish packaging in restaurants nationwide.
As one of the largest single buyers of fish in the US, McDonald's scale will help assure that growing seafood demands are balanced with MSC's responsible sourcing practices to maintain the health and sustainability of fish stocks for the future. Sustainable fish sourcing is part of McDonald's broader commitment to sustainable sourcing and 100 percent of all fish sold in its US restaurants has been certified sustainable.
"McDonald's collaboration with the Marine Stewardship Council is a critical part of our company's journey to advance positive environmental and economic practices in our supply chain," said Dan Gorsky, senior vice president of U.S. supply chain and sustainability. "We're extremely proud of the fact that this decision ensures our customers will continue to enjoy the same great taste and high quality of our fish with the additional assurance that the fish they are buying can be traced back to a fishery that meets MSC's strict sustainability standard."
McDonald's, which uses MSC certified wild-caught Alaska Pollock for its Filet-O-Fish sandwich, will begin displaying the MSC ecolabel on product packaging, in-restaurant communications and external marketing beginning in February 2013 – coinciding with the launch of Fish McBites, McDonald's newest fish menu item, which also uses wild-caught, MSC-certified Alaska Pollock.

http://mechabits.co.uk , but have now built a number of the machine designs. The 3D Printers & Printing design took over for a few years, but eventually you have to try to use the Printer for something else other than parts for 3D Printer's, even though they are mostly metal. So I've put it to work on the gimbal, which is also mostly metal, but the printer still has it's uses. More about the Gimbal here http://io-matter.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/mechabits-gimbal-sony-a6300.html more parts coming soon so I can finish the build.

text: Ever walk by an area with park benches, plantings, or public art, and think that something's missing… oh yeah, there's no people. Though positive in theory, some urban public spaces don't engage their communities and aren't efficiently designed. To address this issue, the Design Trust for Public Space held a competition, The Energetic City: Connectivity in the Public Realm, that requested project proposals to seed and develop projects that redefine New York City's public space. Four winning ideas were selected, and their implementation will begin immediately through a design prototype, pilot intervention, public artwork, and research, planning, or public outreach stages.

E-Guide coming in 2017!
I've listed the festivals according to date because I can imagine women's film festival tourism. You might like to find festivals that will fit your travel plans?
Very often a festival's Facebook page or Twitter feed has more up-to-date info than its website. Some festivals present great year-round programmes that complement their main festival and they tend to use Facebook and Twitter to advertise these.
Some festivals are also present their films online.
The notes I've added are a bit random, often included because the festival was new to me and I wanted to know more.
I've included lesbian festivals and one queer fest only. Mel Pritchard's marvellous and definitive Big Queer Film Festival List is here.
I have more work to do collecting info about ongoing online festivals, and collections of films by, for and about women. Please feel free to comment, and to email me with updates and festival posters you love!
Many thanks to Kyna Morgan at HerFilm Project for the extra festivals she tracked down for the list on her site, where the festivals are listed in alphabetical order. It's also exciting to see the development of the International Women's Film Festivals Network (IWFFN) where there's some useful info.
And here's a roundtable discussion on women's film festivals, held on September 10th, 2013 at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto.
YEAR ROUNDAnother Experiment By Women Film Festival (AXWFF)

"A monthly Los Angeles film festival that fetes the women who love writing, producing, directing, and watching badass genre movies: action, thriller, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, western, exploitation (of men or audience only), B-movie, and erotica. We feel passionate about raising the visibility of awesome indie genre movies by female filmmakers."

It envisions "a world in which women are allowed equal opportunities to create and share their filmic visions in an appreciative environment". Viscera is an unorthodox festival because it focuses on promoting the films and their creators all year round. Its partners are "an ever growing community of film festivals, promoters, conventions, organizers, film clubs, and educational institutions who believe in the positive outcome of women creating horror." Its festivals include Viscera (horror), Etheria (fantasy) and shortly Full Throttle (action).

It's not that I have a personal vendetta against string bikinis and modern swim wear in general, it's just that I feel like they're out to destroy me and my self esteem.
If anyone knows me they know I'm a ride or die bitch in the name of nostalgia. And what better a cure to the whole "does this tube top make my weird shoulder/armpit intersection roll look fat" predicament than an epic swimsuit ball gown of yesteryear? And regardless of if we want to believe it or not, our grandmothers wore it better.
Listen if you are one of those girls that can successfully rock an itty bitty teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini without a stitch of self loathing and crash dieting, then I salute you (you bitch). But I for one cannot get on board with the whole "less is more" thing in regards to my swim wear. I'm not implying that you SHOULD feel uncomfortable in a bikini, or anything for that matter, but why pay $60 for a piece of fabric to cover only the bare necessities when you could just raid your meme's closet and look epic for free? If given the opportunity to wear a waterproof(ish) fit and flare mini dress with a plunging back line as opposed to waterproof underwear meant for a 9 year old, ill pick the flare any day!
These fine ladies allowed me to take a few moments out of their very busy, very tan vacation time to model some of the most nostalgic swimwear we could could get our hands on (I mean Mickey Mouse? REALLY?!). And boy did they deliver, I genuinely can't tell if these are my friends or pin ups from the glory days.
So all in all, as I type this nautical pep talk while my shoulders burn to a crisp poolside, wear what makes you feel bossy, apply sunscreen , and thank your grandmothers for blazing the path so that you may prosper.
Keep it ill.

For Kristi Yamaguchi, Social Media Reshapes the Olympics
This summer's Olympics in London will be shaped by social media like no sporting event in history. But 20 years ago, when figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi took home the gold medal at the 1992 games in France, social media was an unheard of concept.
Yamaguchi became a household name and global celebrity. But without Twitter, Facebook and other platforms, that experience was much different for her than it will be for this summer's Olympic stars.
"Social media has changed so much," Yamaguchi told Mashable in an interview. "It's incredible that you can actually send an athlete a message now. Whether they respond or not, who knows, but you can actually feel a little bit in common with them. In the past, you couldn't really reach out to celebrities at all."
Long since retired from skating, Yamaguchi now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two daughters. Most of her time is devoted to her Always Dream children's foundation. (She also won Dancing With the Stars in 2008.) But a couple of years ago, she says, she got hooked on Twitter as well — first as way to follow volunteer organizations and breaking news, then as a prolific tweeter herself, posting about family life, health and sports. Yamaguchi's frequent interactions with fans and positive messages have gained her more than 33,000 followers.
She says she'll be using Twitter to track the 2012 Olympics, and that gymnast Nastia Liukin and swimmer Ryan Lochte are two of her favorite follows. As a former Olympian, though, Yamaguchi is aware of the challenges that life in the always-on era of social media brings.
"Now you have to be smart about what you're putting out there, because once you do it's there forever," she says. "It's harder for young athletes to think about how it might affect them down the line or cause controversy, because people are very opinionated online and also braver to speak out online. You can't read everything that's there, because otherwise you'll just go crazy with the things people say about you."
So given the pros and cons, does Yamaguchi think she would have embraced Twitter 20 years ago the way she does now?
"If I was competing in this day and age, I would for sure be using it," she says. "Times have changed and people kind of want it and expect it now, but I would have loved to use it to reach out to fans."
Who are some former Olympians you wish had been on Twitter in their heyday? Let us know in the comments.

"In any work: Learn it, give your best effort, face the challenges, you may fall, try to wake-up, it will be so hard, be positive, your goals are waiting at your destiny!"
Ranabir Roy a 33-year-old "Iron man", whatever he determines he achieves with "hardwork and sincerity", happily married to Satavisha Dey Roy and father of a lovely baby, named Ratnesh, about to turn 6 months old, coming from a small state called Tripura in the Northeast of India and on the border with Bangladesh.
His story at ALOHA is full of tenacity and perseverance. He started working at ALOHA India corporate office in Chennai year 2008, but after 6 months his story within ALOHA took an unexpected turn, he had to return back to Tripura, his hometown. Roy returned willingly to face his destiny with a great dream in his heart: of awarding the children of his state with the benefits that ALOHA offers.
February 2009, was the beginning, in his own words pathetic. "Nobody knew ALOHA, it was a whole new concept for people in Tripura. They always asked if it was some meditation or magic that had to do with the numbers".-he told us between laughs. But no matter how tired or impossible it was to explain what ALOHA was, he always woke up very early every morning to get on his bicycle and repeat the task of going places, distributing the flyers. It was 3 years of continuous day & night effort. From his early age he went on taking experiences, working at Maria Montessori Teachers Training College as an instructor, at Women Welfare Development as an Administrator & lastly being an painting teacher at his self institution Pikaso Academy Of Art & Fabric's that still exists in Tripura.
Anyone else would have surrendered in less than a year. But for Roy, nothing is impossible. Shall do as much as we can but shall never expect for results, as results are the final blessings of the supreme soul- "The Almighty: GOD"
It was finally in 2012, that their efforts began to bear fruit. The ALOHA classes started in February, 2009 with 67 children and he managed to open 5 centres. ALOHA is not for him or his family a job/business, it is part of his life -he said it proudly.
When we asked what had motivated him to join ALOHA, without hesitating a second, he answered: the desire to do the things differently, I want to give something innovative to my society & children.
This 2017, ALOHA Tripura participated for the first time in a competition outside India. An unforgettable experience with 44 children and for Mr & Mrs. Roy, who had to carry out the tramitation of the Passport for 140 people, transportation, accommodation for these children and their parents. Much work, impossible task, many things to coordinate but all that effort was rewarded when returning from Bangladesh to Tripura with 30 trophies.
ALOHA Tripura has been recognized by the government people. Currently has approximately 1500 students, enrolled in the program.
With his eyes full of satisfaction Roy finished this interview by pointing out that the blessing of God has accompanied him all this time, giving him great challenges and impelling him to succeed.

"The future is green energy, sustainability, renewable energy." Arnold Schwarzenegger
I grew up watching his films and have followed his political career ever since he entered it. I endorse his views on renewable energy and I am strongly motivated to try my level best to reduce carbon imprints on the planet. My immediate and extended family is aware of my fascination with this big guy and I am often at the receiving end of their humor at most family gatherings. Some even calling me Arnnie in zest. Thankfully, I have succeeded in convincing my twin grandsons about the future of green energy and the importance and urgency of embracing solar and other forms of renewable energy.
Its been a while that I have visited their school for grandparents' day activities and celebrations, but last year early in the morning on September 10th a Sunday, I had my early visitors. It was Grandparents Day! The twins arrived at my doorstep all geared to take me out for a scrumptious breakfast. My plans of fishing with my friends remained as a plan. However, I must admit that spending time with the two youngsters was truly rejuvenating and I suddenly felt more energized.
That morning was truly memorable as it was a confirmation to the fact, that the young generation was leaning to be responsible and accountable. Their first combined gift to me after they both earned and saved during the summer was, A PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY. Knowing my views and concerns on the incessant plundering of natural resources, the repercussions and consequences of the same, it truly was a well thought off gift.
They gave me the USP of their gift, as being cost effective, environmentally safe, and having the latest in battery technology. I listened to them very indulgently, enjoying their enthusiasm of sharing their research knowledge with me. This Portable Power supply that they had gifted me, was a smart piece that could be used to charge privately owned electronic devices with a maximum power consumption of 500W. They were happy that I would never be in the dark, I was elated that I could take it camping and fishing and not worry about charging my phone or my Bluetooth speakers or camera. It truly ensured me staying connected with the outside world.
Adopting alternate means of energy is not a fad but a fact. Its usage in generation of power over the years has increased tremendously but lots more needs to be done. Small adoptions by every private citizen will go a long way in repairing the damage that we have been responsible for. Pollution free, entirely free energy, relatively low harnessing cost are clear advantages of using Solar powered portable power banks.
We at Style Asia, carry a variety of Portable Power Supply batteries from brand Polaroid. Polaroid is known for its quality, substance and meaningful contribution to society. Latch on to the biggest battery, The Sun! Every sunny day is a solar energy spill, grab it for free and fulfill all your responsibilities as a conscientious world citizen.

Foods to Boost Your Brain Power
The great news is you can load up on "brain foods" to help you stay alert, improve your memory, stave off Alzheimer's disease and dementia and boost brain power. It's no myth: Brain foods do exist, and not surprisingly, most of them are already important parts of a healthy, balanced diet.
Wheat germ, for one, is packed with B vitamins, which help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia by lowering levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that can lead to these diseases as well as stroke. It also contains high levels of vitamin E, noted for helping brain function in older adults.
Breakfast is a particularly good time of day for a brain boost. Starting with oatmeal or granola, both of which contain carbohydrate-loaded oats to fuel your brain, add in some Kretschmer Wheat Germ, blueberries (to battle short-term memory loss and increase brain function) and walnuts (whose omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants help heighten brain power).
To improve cognitive function, watch your fat intake—and by that we mean include more monounsaturated fats like olive oil and fewer saturated fats, such as those found in red meat and full-fat dairy products. A 2012 study showed a diet high in saturated fat has a detrimental effect on memory and reason, while one higher in good fats actually seems to slow brain aging.
Lunchtime salads offer a great opportunity to work in those good fats and avoid saturated fats. In addition, studies show eating more vegetables slows cognitive decline, so pile on the veggies before adding your canola- or olive-oil-based salad dressing—and don't forget to enhance your dressing with Kretschmer Wheat Germ.
When dinner time rolls around, think fish, especially fatty fish like salmon and sardines, which are loaded with omega 3 fatty acids, excellent for brain development and health. Because they also improve focus, they're a great topping for a morning bagel to get your day off to a smart start.
