Today on Blogmas, a list of my top 5 Christmas movies.
1. Home Alone (1990) directed by Chris Columbus
I think this is the quintessential 90s kid Christmas movie. This is the film that started my crush on Macaulay Culkin. It's a kiddie action comedy and it balances both perfectly. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern make perfect villains and perfect foils to Macaulay. It's just such a fun movie to watch. It never fails to make me laugh and smile. You know what else makes me smile? The fact that thanks to Chris Columbus there only 2 degrees of separation between Kevin McCallister and Harry Potter.
2. Lethal Weapon (1987) directed by Richard Donner
It's set at Christmas therefore it is a Christmas movie, same as Die Hard (which would also be on this list if I'd actually ever sat down and watched it from beginning to end instead of just watching parts of it). I love action movies, always have. I remember the first Danny Glover movie I ever saw, Operation Dumbo Drop. Those were the two reasons I watched Lethal Weapon the first time, and now I've seen it so many times I could probably quote the entire thing without actually watching it.
3. Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York (1992) directed by Chris Columbus
I was going to invoke franchise rules and only name one of the Home Alone films and use Jingle All the Way as my alternate 5th title but then I remembered that I like the idea of Jingle all the Way more than the actual film - the only reason I ever watched it was because I am a Schwarzenegger fan. Besides why shouldn't I include Home Alone 2? It has everything to make a perfect action comedy Christmas film just like it's predecessor. With the original cast and director back it really would have been hard for this film to be a miss, and thankfully it wasn't.
4. Iron Man 3 (2013) directed by Shane Black
This may or may not be an unpopular option but I do like Iron Man 3 (I know popular opinion is to bash it hard). I love Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man/Tony Stark and he is still spot on and perfect in this film. I am willing to admit that this film had HORRIBLE flaws, but I still find it enjoyable. And like with Lethal Weapon, it's set at Christmas and therefore is totally a Christmas film. One of the key scenes even takes place at a Christmas party!
5. Elf (2003) directed by Jon Favreau
Huh, 2 Chris Columbus/John Hughes movies on my list and 2 Jon Favreau's, how interesting! Anyway, it's kine of hard NOT to love Elf it's just such a joyful and heartfelt Christmas film. Obviously with it being a Will Ferrell vehicle it is also obviously hilarious. I had never seen it until about 5 years ago when my cousin Bill put it on for me and the little ones at Christmas. It was such a funny film. Now I want to watch it because thinking about it makes me want to see it again.
What are your favourite Christmas films?

I saw you ran at the Michelin Cup event yeah.AlexTDi wrote:I can't get avgas as easily as you do so for now 95 + mix will do, my car is supposed to make decent power on just 95 so ya, the head he is building you is exactly what he built for me. it's still at the shop as I got them to recheck it and skim it further. will collect it this week and try it again at a later stage.alfaquad wrote:Why do you keep wanting to run 95 or 95 and mix? There are other options available that are much safer and will make more power.
Measured the head cc on my head the other night - 27cc - which basically worked out to 13.45:1 CR on my car. Remember I don't run 8v pistons. I'm giving up on that head though, too much wrong with it and too expensive to try fix it. Sarel is busy doing a proper Stage 3 head for me now, with rev kit, semi solid lifters and 298 hydraulic cam. If I am still struggling to make power, it just means my bottom-end is stuffed. But I can live with that till I can afford a proper bottom-end.
Oh and what happened with your box? Find any drag on there? My box is in pieces at the moment, and I finally figured out why I get so much wheelspin - there is no LS-Diff in the car.
Lots of work before I can get my car on the track by the 16th!
Box is fine drag is just as low on the dyno as a normal link shift, so that's not the issue. I'm semi-sorted with the suspension setup now ran a 1m18 flat two weeks back at Zwartkops on old tyres so relatively happy that I'm progressing.
LS is for girls! you don't need it to be quick in a Golf and you're closer to Superhatch spec
Yeah, head is basically the same, except that mine will be over 13:1 CR and ported for the throttles (different to single throttle body).
It's easy to get fuel, but it just requires someone to go fetch it. We take turns to go get, but we buy a lot at a time (500+ liters) so only go every few months. I don't like mixes.
LS just makes a lot of things better - if I was running Superhatch spec or Challenge spec, sure, but with the way my car is set up it gets wheelspin everywhere. I could tweak suspension setup to eliminate wheelsping mostly, but I would rather have one - suits my driving style more - car is already damn loose and without the LS I can't get on the power as early as I want, nose just pushes wide on the exit. LS will remedy that. I'm quite confident that I'd be able to do 13s with my car with not much more power than I have at the moment, just need to be able to put the power down. My apex speeds are already basically on par with Keagan's CRX which runs 225s, but because I have to wait to get on the power, my straight line speeds suffer.

This burned my face and didn't stop burning until I washed it off, like an hour later. I tried to wait it out but it didn't stop. I bought this because it contained borage oil which my rosacea usually loves but something in this caused my skin to REACT. I cannot imagine using this on sensitive baby skin.

I tried this moisturizer, and I find it very light. Probably nice when it´s really hot outside or with quite oily skin. But my skin got thirsty for a second helping after just a few minutes, even though it is not THAT dry. What I liked: The ingredients-list with so many antioxidative stuff in it! Sounds really beneficial for skin. Maybe if there comes a richer version one day, I´ll try that one.

The ingredients are great, and it's a good lightweight moisturizer, but I just don't like the way this smells.

The Julia Wallace Retirement Village in New Zealand created a hilarious Taylor Swift Parody called '80-odd years of Shake it Off.' 50 residents, along with staff and some grandchildren got together to remake the video, which bares a clear resemblance to the original. The parody captures funny scenes like grannies sliding under each other's legs or senior citizens break dancing outside the residence.
Taylor Swift tends to be at the forefront of pop culture news and her 'Shake it Off' video was riddled with its own controversy when it first debuted. Parodies of her work are common but seeing the elderly being able to laugh at themselves and bring a smile to viewers is a beautiful feat. It demonstrates that no matter how old you are, you can still have fun.
As a marketing tactic, the Taylor Swift Parody can attract future residents by demonstrating that it is a fun and caring environment for the elderly. Furthermore, as the video gains traction and popularity, it also brings consumer awareness to the retirement home which may have gone unnoticed originally.

Dragging out a tab to separate window sometimes drags out unexpected tab.
Jenoki last edited by Jenoki
As title says, sometimes when I drag out a tab to its own window, a completely different tab is dragged out instead.
I'm not sure how to precisely reproduce the issue, but it happens VERY frequently, so I don't really have to try too hard to get it to happen.
I've included a short clip so you can see the issue in action:
I have one pinned tab, one tab is playing video+audio, and the other tab is reddit. I attempt to drag out the tab playing video, and reddit is popped out instead.

I'm using progeCAD v. 188.8.131.52 and in my paper space views I see a gray background with only the print area shown as black. There are also dashed lines around the perimeter of my print area. Anyone know how to turn these off? I would like for the entire paper space to show up as black without the dashed lines. Bother the "paper color" and "graphics screen color" are set to black in the options tab.
Hello dcwPE,
You can actually assign the mview frame itself to a layer (_vframe is a common name used for this sort of layer), and then freeze/turn off that layer from the toolbar.
The mview frames should then disappear and your should be able to print "borderless" viewports.
Does this address the problem or do we misunderstand?

The Anointing and the AntiChrist Spirit – Chap 7
I love this chapter. It was the anointing of the Holy Spirit that qualified and empowered Jesus for His ministry. Jesus' character and knowledge were great but did not enable him to engaged in empowered ministry until his being anointed with the Holy Spirit at His Baptism. It's the invasion of the Holy Spirit into the natural world that is the breakthrough of the kingdom of God. Just as the Spirit tore through the sky at Jesus' baptism, so did the kingdom come near. I love how Bill Johnson explains that what the Lord meant by "at hand" is that the kingdom is "available right here. Grab it" (p.80). To deny the invasion of the Spirit is to assign and characterize the works of the Spirit as something not from God -even as something demonic (p. 80). There are many churches and theologians who do not want anything to do with God the Spirit!
Teaching in to an Encounter – Chap 8
As a consequence to Chapter 7, those who are a position of authority in churches must require of themselves that they are anointed with God's Spirit. We must require of ourselves "to do, with power" (p.88). We cannot be content to just be information dispensers but we need to take on the mantle of being teaching who can do what they are teaching – and also teachings who bring others into encounters with the reality of what we are teaching and profess. Bill Johnson really comes against pastors, teachers, churches, denominations and seminary that only work in the rational and the natural mind. They are only purveyors of information – not knowledge (in the Hebrew sense) of knowing how to do. Bill Johnson argues at length that it is out of pride and spirit of religion that people use knowledge of scripture in order to keep others coming to them rather than to an encounter with God. In contrast, those who do require of themselves that they operate in Spirit power will need to take risks in order to move in power.
The Works of the Father – Chap 9
This chapter is sort of the fulfillment of what Bill Johnson advocations in chapter 8. "Doing with Power" requires knowing the Spirit and being a person where the Spirit abides in order to see the supernatural or spirit realm and being able to operate in it, that is, seeing and doing the works of the Father just as Jesus talked about. There is a marvelous section on page 100 where Pastor Bill brings some much need corrective balance to our seeking supernatural power. We should not be seeking the power for power's sake, but we should be seeking the heart of God first, and then allow the power of God to flow as demonstrations of God's love and compassion for the world. God's love is not an add-on to power, but where the power comes from. Doing the works of Jesus and works of the Father are demonstrations of God's love. In order to do this, we need to pursue the Lord with "reckless abandon". Bill Johnson then provides things we can do as means to this end. 1) Prayer 2) Study of scripture (especially the gospels), 3) Read those who teach this, 4) Have those who have anointing to lay hands on you 5) Try to hang around others who have anointing and 6) Obedience.
Ah – hah Moment
I really did have any ah-had moments but enjoyed each of these chapters. It was refreshing to read again what I wrote in chapter 9, viz., that power grows out of love and it is not something you add on or doing along side of power.

A Time To Tear Down
I think I leaned heavy on the correct and rebuke part and added encouragement when I would intentionally think of it. Now I need to listen more and let the Lord do the correcting and rebuking. I was confronted with this reality today, as my lovely and gifted daughter told me she didn't want to talk to me about some concerns because I would always tell her what to do and not just listen. I had to think about this...hmmm, is it possible? To just listen? As I drove around doing my errands, I found myself weeping at my wretchedness, asking the Lord to change me (thankfully, He promises that He will...He who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus Phil 1:6) I have learned that His grace is sufficient and I am anticipating His work in me rebuilding this area of my life with more closed lips...leaning more heavily on the encouragement part. Please pray for me.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I know this lesson well and my eldest is only 8. I find the encouragement part of parenting sometimes the hardest part. I'm great at praising a job well done, and pretty consistent in disciplining...but encouraging in the difficult moments seems to be my weak spot. I will pray for you and praise God for the work that He is doing in your life and in your daughter's. Here's to listening more and speaking less!
Love and blessings,

The church service in the Laurelbrook Seventh-day Adventist Church on January 13, 2018 began with the congregation led by Eric (junior) singing "God Will Take Care of You", accompanied by Jara (sophomore) on the piano and Jeremy Westcott on the organ.
Rodney Herra then welcomed everyone and made a few announcements. He reminded everyone of the Ten Days of Prayer. The church services will go on as usual. Adults will be meeting for prayer above the cafeteria from 12:30 to 1:30.
Eric then led the congregation in finishing "God Will Take Care of You". Jara (sophomore) played an introit. The congregation had a silent invocation. The congregation then sang "O, When Shall I See Jesus". Rodney Herra then had the Morning Prayer; the congregation sang "Hear Our Prayer".
Mark (sophomore) then called for the offering. Eric (junior) and Hiram (junior) then collected the morning offerings; the loose offering went to the local church budget. The congregation sang the doxology, and Mark prayed for the offering.
Scott Sterling then told the children a story about a boy who had been told to clean his room on a magnificent day. He decided to try out his new magnifying glass outside despite his mom's command. After a while, he remembered that a magnifying glass could be used to start a fire. So he decided to try in an area between the apartment where he lived and the hospital where his father worked. In seconds, the fire took off. He jumped up and ran home. His mother saw everyone running towards the fire. The boy was uneasy because he had done something really foolish. His father assured him that Jesus would forgive him if the boy asked forgiveness. He then told his father that he had started that fire, and his father reassured him. 1 John 4:19 "We love him, because he first loved us."
Mark then read Psalm 127:1-5 "1 ¶ « A Song of degrees for Solomon. » Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain. 2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward. 4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth. 5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."
Benny (9th grader) then played his guitar for special music. Rich Sutton discussed the recent Mexico Missions trip and had the closing prayer.
Personnel Other Than Students:
Jeremy Westcott – one of the academy classroom teachers
Rich Sutton – Laurelbrook president / principal
Rodney Herra - works with the auto body shop and the farm and maintenance programs / local church treasurer
Scott Sterling – one of the Laurelbrook IT personnel / one of the academy classroom teachers
Sarah (senior) ran the P.A. system for the program.
1. This was Mexico Missions' 30th year to go to Mexico.
2. Psalm 127:1-5 "1 ¶ « A Song of degrees for Solomon. » Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain. 2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward. 4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth. 5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."
3. The first people in a battle back then would be people shooting arrows.
4. The group originally agreed to build 4 churches.
5. Seven people helped with interpreting or preaching – Citlali (senior), Abrill (sophomore), Samantha (sophomore), Scott Sterling, Moises (sophomore), Eric (junior), and Hiram (junior).
6. Wednesday is Rich's altar call night. Moises wanted to interpret for Rich that night. Moises gave his heart to the Lord during one of calls that night.
7. A girl from Quichta Hills started with Mexico Missions at age 13 and has been helping build churches for six years.
8. Scott Sterling talked about a church of 15 members where he preached. One family who came was really interested; the father said he would help next year.
9. Sarah (senior) did some welding on the ground.
10. One young man came up to Rich years ago and wanted to help. He has helped Rich for 15 years and is good with tools.
11. The group put up four churches and put on five roofs. Each roof costs about $2500. Rich had taken money for three churches; some money came from passing the hat around. The rest of the money came from a family who had heard about the projects.
12. The group had to fix about three to four tires this year.
13. The border crossing consumed five hours.
14. The group set up camp in a school. In addition to building or finishing churches, the effort included supplying glasses and working on teeth.
15. The group also brought cases of The Great Controversy and other books and handed them out.
16. An ex-Adventist lady lived across the street from one of the new churches. She said that she knew that she was going back to church when she saw the new church building going up nearby.
17. The group took bucket showers.
18. A Mexican driver picked up the containers of roofing components and distributes them to the various church sites – for free.
19. One lady asked Rich if the only thing you could take to heaven was your character. When Rich agreed, she said that that was the problem – and was baptized.
20. One older Mexican lady has planted 38 churches. She says that she plants the churches, and Rich builds the buildings.
21. One existing church was originally a small wooden structure that was blown over. So the congregation got a new, more substantial building.
22. Sarah and Citlali (seniors) were afraid of being on the roof, but one of the last churches roofed was finished due to their labors. They did a very nice job of roofing and did so in a timely manner so that the group could be back to home base before any of the other groups.

'The Four: Battle for Stardom' - Who Is Ash Minor? | EXCLUSIVE
The Four: Battle For Stardom is finally here. The new singing competition show is unlike anything music fans have seen, because it all begins where most other shows end: with the four FINALISTS.
Four very talented singers will defend their spots on stage as they are challenged individually by new singers determined to replace them. If the existing four outperform their challengers, they survive to sing another week, until the end of the season, when the final four face off against each other. But, only one will claim the ultimate prize for an aspiring artist: a team of elite star-makers – the series' panel of judges (DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy, Meghan Trainor, and Charlie Walk) – all committed to launching and guiding the winner's music career.
Not only will the winner's career launch with the help of the judges, they will also become iHeartRadio's "On the Verge" artist; an artist development program supporting the winner with airplay across iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide. This program has helped launched the careers of artists like Sam Smith, Fifth Harmony and Nick Jonas, among others.
So, who are The Four contestants kicking off The Four: Battle for Stardom? Say hello to Blair Perkins, Ash Minor, Lex Lu, and Elanese Lansen. iHeartRadio recently got to know more about each budding artist during an exclusive interview. So ... Meet Ash Minor.
Originally from Brisbane, Australia, Ash recently moved to Los Angeles only a few months ago to pursue a career in music. Ash describes the big move as a "whirlwind," and tells iHeartRadio, "I think when you live in a place like Australia, America seems so far away, but it seems like the place to make it. I visited LA and I instantly fell in love with the place. I felt like it was responding to my music. They responded to me as a person. I feel like I could connect with people here."
Read on to learn more about Ash Minor below.
"My music is a hybrid between acoustic, soul funk blues punk. It's really a massive fusion. I've got a lot of musical influences ranging a lot of different genres and styles. I love rock music, but I very very much connect with soul music and R&B. So it forges somewhere in between the two."
"I suppose I'm most nervous about if I get a song to sing, or I choose a song to sing and the original artist of that song hears it. I guess I want that artist to see it and then be like, 'wow that person killed the song.' The worst thing would be is if I took someone's song and they saw it, and were like 'nah.' So that's my biggest nerve. I'm not really so nervous about the performance aspect, I just want to make sure every song that I do does justice to the song and pays respect to the artist too."
"My strategy coming into this show is always just been to not look right or left. Just keep looking straight and do my own thing, win my own race. And every single week just try and up my game and give another element of my performance that people haven't seen before."
"I think what makes me stand out is the fact that I'm a writer musician. I'm a singer. And I try and excel in all those fields. So I've got lots of give as a player or as a singer. I'm not worried about what everyone else is doing. I just want to do my thing and show what I've got."
"That would be a dream come true, and get to work with iHeart, and be one of the On The Verge artists. Especially being here today and seeing the platform that all these artists have had and how elevated their careers have gotten from partnering with iHeartRadio, that's pretty amazing. It puts it all in perspective, really, and makes you realize the magnitude of this opportunity. So, I'm just going to go in there, go 100, do everything I can and, and hope for the best."

Almost all of the Swallows around Fangfoss Park have now departed, slightly earlier than last year when I had good numbers well into the last week of September and then the odd late straggler into the first week of October. Their long and often hazardous flight down to sub Saharan Africa must be a daunting one for all this year's young ones and, although many other birds undertake the self same amazing journey, there is something endearingly magical about the annual departure of these vulnerable looking wee birds.
|Barn Swallow, Strensall Common, 10/09/15
These youngsters were 2 of many that were massing together on Strensall Common a couple of weeks ago and obviously getting ready to go. They'll be well on their way now, their journey time south to Africa is a lot more leisurely than the dash back north in the Spring and these 2 can be reasonably confident of catching flies under South African skies within a couple of months but my they look so fragile!
|Barn Swallow, Strensall Common, 10/09/15
|Blackcap, Fangfoss, 21/09/15
Departure time from Europe for many other birds too, including many warblers using the UK as a convenient stop off point and feeding station. The many hedgerows around my local patch here in Fangfoss have held many Willow Warblers, ChiffChaffs, Whitethroats and Blackcaps over the past few weeks and even a couple of Lesser Whitethroats ... sadly not able to photograph the latter but as with my Whinchat of a couple of weeks ago a welcome new species for the area.
|Willow Warbler, Fangfoss, 22/09/15
Spotted Flycatchers bred here this year and this may be one of the youngsters but could equally be another individual on passage ... it was in amongst a roving group of tits and warblers.
|Spotted Flycatcher, Fangfoss, 15/09/15
|Lesser Redpoll, Fangfoss, 21/09/15
There's a lot of fruit laden hedgerows around the countryside at the moment and all worthy of a look if you're looking for migrants (and I don't mean Syrians!). Just as the warblers, chats and flycatchers feed up on this seasonal feast before heading south, other birds are arriving on our shores either to stay or in transit - Blackbirds, Robins and assorted finches have all increased in numbers of late and a small flock of Lesser Redpolls in amongst the more numerous Goldfinches is a sure sign of the changing season ...
|Lesser Redpoll, Fangfoss, 21/09/15
|Goldfinch, Strensall Common,
No Redwings or Fieldfares have made it this far inland as yet but a steady increase in Blackbird numbers, like this one gorging on Elderberries.
|Lapwings, Fangfoss, 15/09/15
Back here in the Yorkshire Wolds our own Common Buzzards seem to go from strength to strength with up to 8 in my immediate vicinity.
|Common Buzzard, Fangfoss, 16/09/15
|Common Buzzard, Fangfoss, 16/09/15
Lucky shot of this one calling as it swept past me!
Almost certainly I'll be heading out to the coast soon to catch some more visible migration ... maybe an October trip out to Spurn when the winter thrushes start coming in, but in truth I'm more than happy walking the lanes and hedgerows of my own patch!

On June 15, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling in Kerry v. Din that upheld the U.S. government's denial of an immigrant visa to the husband of a U.S. citizen on the basis of terrorism concerns, notwithstanding the government's failure to provide a detailed basis for its terrorism concerns in the denial decision. The court ruled that the federal government does not owe Fauzia Din, a naturalized citizen, a detailed explanation when it refused to give her foreign husband an immigrant visa. Din had claimed that she had a fundamental right, under the Constitution or otherwise, for a detailed or legitimate reason for denying her husband's visa.
In a separate opinion by Justice Kennedy, joined by Justice Alito, he concluded that there is no need to decide whether Din has a protected liberty interest, because even assuming she does, the notice she received from the U.S. government denying her husband's visa application satisfied due process.
In writing for the dissent, Justice Breyer, joint by Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan, stated that Din possesses the kind of "liberty" interest in which the Due Process Clause grants procedural protection. The dissent also concluded that the Due Process Clause requires the U.S. government to provide an adequate reason for denial of the visa. Justice Breyer concluded that it has failed to do so.
This case is consistent with the government's practice, citing national security and foreign policy concerns, of not providing more detail in these kinds of decisions. Such lack of transparency can be very frustrating in immigration cases, and also makes them almost impossible to overturn.
USCIS Issues Guidance on When to File an Amended H-1B Petition Following a Change in Worksite Location
On April 9, 2015, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Service's (USCIS) Administrative Appeal Office issued a precedent decision inMatter of Simeio Solutions, LLC, holding that:
- Employers must file amended H-1B petitions when a new Labor Condition Application for Nonimmigrant Workers (LCA) is required due to a change in the H-1B worker's worksite location, since such a change may affect eligibility for H-1B status and is therefore a material change
- A material change to the terms and conditions of employment requires the petitioner to file a new or amended H-1B with the corresponding LCA.
On July 21, 2015, the USCIS issued final guidance on when an amended H-1B petition must be filed. Once an amended petition has been filed, the H-1B employee may immediately begin work at the new worksite, and the petitioner need not wait for a final decision. An amended petition does not need to be filed for a move within the same metropolitan statistical area, though the previously obtained LCA would still need to be posted at the new worksite. Likewise, certain short-term placements (generally up to 30 days, or 60 days if the employee is still based at the original worksite), and non-worksite location travel (e.g. employee training or conferences) do not require filing an amended petition.
The timing of an employee's change in worksite in relation to the Simeio decision determines whether and when the petitioner must file an amended H-1B petition:
- If the employee moved to a new worksite on or before April 9, 2015, the petitioner may choose to file an amended H-1B petition by January 15, 2016. Even if the petitioner does not file a new or amended petition by this date, the USCIS will generally not pursue new revocations or denials based upon failure to file a new or amended petition. However, any adverse actions initiated or completed by USCIS prior to July 21, 2015, remain in effect.
- If the employee moved to a new worksite after April 9, 2015, but before August 19, 2015, the petitioner must file a new or amended H-1B petition by January 15, 2016. The USCIS will consider filings prior to this deadline for the safe harbor period to be timely for purposes of the regulation. Failure to adhere to this deadline will put the petitioner and employee out of compliance with U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations.
- If the employee moves to a new worksite after August 19, 2015, a new or amended H-1B petition must be filed before the employee begins work at a new worksite.
USCIS Allows Employment Authorization for Certain H-4 Spouses
The USCIS issued a final rule on February 25, 2015, allowing employment authorization for H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants who have reached a certain stage in seeking employment-based lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. Such H-1B nonimmigrants must be the principal beneficiaries of an approved Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140), or have been granted an extension of H-1B status under the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000, as amended by the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act. The USCIS hopes this will reduce personal and economic burdens faced by H-1B nonimmigrants and eligible H-4 dependent spouses during the transition from nonimmigrant to LPR status, as well as attract and retain highly skilled foreign workers and minimize disruption to U.S. businesses resulting from H-1B nonimmigrants who choose not to pursue LPR status in the United States. The rule, which became effective on May 26, 2015, is expected to bring U.S. immigration policies for highly skilled workers more in line with those of other countries that are also competing to attract and retain similar highly skilled workers.
USCIS Temporarily Suspends and Then Resumes Premium Processing for H-1B Extensions
On May 26, 2015, the USCIS temporarily suspended premium processing for all H-1B Extension of Stay petitions until July 27, 2015. During this time, petitioners were not able to file Requests for Premium Processing Service (Form I-907), for a Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-907), requesting an extension of the stay for an H-1B nonimmigrant. The temporary suspension was enforced to allow the USCIS to implement the final rule allowing employment authorization for certain H-4 spouses and adjudicate the high volume of applications for employment authorization filed by H-4 nonimmigrants under the new regulations. On July 13, 2015, the USCIS announced it was resuming premium processing for H-1B extensions as it had been successful in clearing the H-4 backlog.
New Regulations Lift Limits on DSOs and Permit Part-Time Study for F-2 or M-2 Spouses and Children
On April 29 2015, the DHS published a new rule amending its regulations under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to facilitate study in the U.S. and allow more opportunities for study by spouses and children of nonimmigrant students. The new regulations permit SEVP-certified schools to nominate as many designated school officials (DSOs) as necessary to support enrolled F or M students and permits F-2 and M-2 spouses and children to enroll in less than a full course of study at an SEVP-certified school without violating their F or M status. Prior to amendment, the regulations limited SEVP-certified schools to a maximum of 10 DSOs and stated that F-2 and M-2 spouses and children would violate their nonimmigrant status by engaging in any study. F-2 and M-2 spouses and children can now enroll in less than a full course of study even if the part-time study leads to a degree or certificate. However, full-time study will still constitute a violation of F-2 or M-2 status, and F-2 or M-2 dependents are still prohibited from engaging in employment. The rule became effective on May 29, 2015.
U.S. State Department Suspends Issuance of U.S. Visas Worldwide
The U.S. Department of State experienced system-wide technical problems with its overseas computer visa system during the month of June, preventing the embassies/consulates from issuing or printing U.S. visas in passports (with limited exceptions for certain seasonal workers and urgent humanitarian travel). As a result of these technical problems, all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide temporarily suspended the issuance of all U.S. visas. This system-wide failure impacted the ability of individuals with expired visas to re-enter the United States after travelling outside the country, and prevented individuals with approved employer-sponsored petitions from receiving U.S. visas in their passports if they were currently abroad and needed to enter the United States.
According the U.S. State Department website, most of the technical issues have been resolved, and all visa-issuing embassies and consulates are now operational and scheduling visa interviews and issuing nonimmigrant and immigrant visas. The State Department is working to eliminate the backlog of pending visas cases resulting from the technical issues.
DHS Announces Temporary Protected Status Designation for Nepal
As a result of the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015, the Secretary of Homeland Security has designated Nepal for an 18 month period of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from June 24, 2015 through December 21, 2016. Eligible nationals from Nepal (and people without nationality who last habitually resided in Nepal) residing in the United States, will not be removed from the United States and may receive an Employment Authorization Document card. The 180-day registration period is from June 24, 2015 to December 21, 2015. To be eligible for TPS, applicants must demonstrate that they have been "continuously physically present" and "continuously residing" in the United States since June 24, 2015. Applicants must also undergo security checks.
Initial Registration Extended for Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone Temporary Protected Status
On June 25, 2015, the DHS extended the period for individuals to register for TPS under the Guinea, Liberia, or Sierra Leone designation by 90 days, from May 20, 2015, to August 18, 2015. The extension aims to give eligible individuals additional time to register. Eligible individuals must be able to demonstrate that they have continuously resided in the United States since November 20, 2014, and been continuously present since November 21, 2014. The extension of the initial registration period, however, does not extend the TPS designation for the three countries, which remains valid through May 21, 2016.
Canada Expands Biometric Screening Program
The Canadian government recently announced that foreign nationals from non-visa exempt countries such as China and India between the ages of 14 and 80 will be required to submit biometric information within 30 days of applying for a visa to visit, study, or work in Canada. Canadian Citizenship and Immigration will send letters to visa applicants instructing them to visit a local Visa Application Center where they will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken. The program is expected to be implemented by 2018; however, at this time, visa application processing remains unchanged. This change will impact foreign nationals who plan to travel to Canada to apply to have a U.S. visa issued into their passport at a U.S. Consulate in Canada rather than in their home country.

Let the lights of this season remind you of the light within each child that needs to be nurtured and respected, and the light within yourself that needs to be nurtured as well. And the presents remind you that our children most need from us our presence. Turn off the cell phones, the computers, the games, and spend time together. Look into each other's eyes and remember how marvelous you all truly are. Look for the light. What you seek, you shall find.
Happy Holidays from my family to yours.


text: Summer babies do worse at school Toddler news News & Gossip 6 August-born children more likely to be bullied, fail exams and need extra help, according to study Children born in the summer suffer for being the youngest members of class. A study by the Department for Education has found that children born in August, nearly a full year younger than their oldest classmates, are less likely to achieve 5 A*-C GCSE grades, take A levels or go to university. The findings have led some academics to suggest children are being pushed into formal education too early and should be allowed to develop at their own pace, starting compulsory schooling around age 6 or 7. This contradicts the idea put forward by former School Secretary Ed Balls, who said that children should start school at 4 to give them longer to master the basic skills. At the age of 5, September-born pupils where found to be twice as likely to reach the expected levels of basic development as those born in August the following year. The trend continued through to exams at age 11, GCSEs and to a lesser degree, A-levels. "To put this in context," the report said, "10,000 summer-born children per year fail to achieve the standard at GCSE, which influences their chances of progressing to A-levels and beyond, purely because they are the youngest pupils sitting the GCSE examinations due to the timing of their birth and the school year." The survey also said that summer-born children had a higher risk of being bullied or being registered as special needs. However, it is unclear how to solve this problem as changing the cut off date to another month will not stop some children being nearly a full year younger than the oldest members of their class. By Kimberley Smith 6 Comments Share Like this article? Showing of Paul Hawkins 2 A simple internet search will reveal the rather depressing fact that, through biology, summer babies are at a significant disadvantage throughout the education system and this extends to sports, self esteem and confidence. Unless you are able to suspend time the younger children will not catch up. There is a simple solution but this wont go down well with the advantaged autumn babies parents. You simply compile all the exam results and appropriately weight the results on a sliding scale. If an August child, on average, achieves 6% lower grades in Physics to that of a September child then you simply weight the results appropriately. This is not rocket science. Give the summer babies a break. It's not like they're going to do well, on average, in sports given the physical growth that they are behind. A L 2 I live in Scotland, where the cut-off date is different. Does that mean that here March children do the worst? Lynne Nelson Good point AL2, but it would probabaly be february born that are worst off. My ds1 is february born-he is the youngest in his year making the cut off by a day. In some ways it shows-he lacks the concentration that some of the kids have and he does struggle with some of the work. There are times when i wish that i had kept him back a year but i know in other ways he was ready to go. I, myself am March born, so was one of the oldest in my year at school. I wouldnt have said i found it any easier but there was a definate age grouping when you looked at the ability of the kids in my class and the groups that we were all put into, iyswim. brummymum I think a lot depends on the child. I have a June birthday, my husband is August and we both did well at school and went on to get degrees, in common with many of our other 'summer' friends. I think it probably matters less as you progress through school, but can see how an 11 month age gap could be a real disadvantage to a 5 year old as they are learning and developing so much at that age. theoldwomanwholivesinashoe It does depend a lot on the child.My brother and I are both July birthdays,we both did well at school.My son has already done very well at school although he's the end of May.It also depends on the school,they should be teaching the child according to their needs and abilities.Those born at the beginning of the year can also be held backMy October daughters both do very well,but it's been a case of constant nagging the teachers,and with my 7 year old a change of school to be sure they're getting work catering to their needs,rather than her not progressing further because we don't do such and such at this stage.Physically though kids vary a lot in size,my son born in May has always been one of the biggest,it's only complete disinterest in sport that holds him back,my son born in January is still one of the smallest,while his best friend is a good six inches taller than him and anyone else in their class.I do think it evens out as you get older,a child develops their own natural talents and abilities.At an early stage though there can be big differences,not just because of age,some children are more mature or more able,and all children should have support to learn at whatever stage they're at.

Many of Iowa's county courthouses are crowned with beautiful towers with a large clock. The courthouse typically was built in the middle of the business district, and the large clock, usually with a bell to sound each hour and quarter hour, served as the official timepiece to keep the community on time. Over time many of these tall towers were removed: the weight of the stone or brick threatening the structure of the courthouse, or pieces of the clock tower started falling.
This article features clocks listed in a Seth Thomas catalog, circa 1911. Iowa's installations of Seth Thomas clocks, including these courthouses, are listed on page 44.
Appanoose County Courthouse
The clock tower, rising from the center of the courthouse, features the four-faced clock. The Seth Thomas Clock, Model #15, was manufactured in 1905. It underwent major repairs in 1936, and in 1975 after it was struck by lightning. It was restored in 2003 by Rory DeMesy.
Chickasaw County Courthouse
Clay County Courthouse
The clock tower was added in 1910 to the 1901 courthouse.
Davis County Courthouse
The four-sided clock is the pride of Bloomfield. The clock tower is 123 feet above the ground. The 1876 Seth Thomas clock and 1878 Kimberly Bell underwent recent restoration by Rory DeMesy.
Decatur County Courthouse
Grundy County Courthouse
The clock was installed in the tower in 1900 - five years after the courthouse was completed.
Jasper County Courthouse
The clock has four dials, each 8 feet high, and was provided through private donations. The self-winding clock automatically turns on its lighted face at night and turns off at dawn.
Keokuk County Courthouse
The clock was paid through contributions
South Lee County Courthouse
Lucas County Courthouse
The tower's clock was donated by Smith Henderson Mallory in 1894.
Madison County Courthouse
The bell and fourth-faced illuminated clock grace the dome, which is 136 feet above the ground. The clock was restored with new hands and cast aluminum gears in 1975.
Monroe County Courthouse
Tama County Courthouse
The 1914 courthouse clock was restored in 2003 by Lloyd Larish of Faribault, MN
Taylor County Courthouse
The Seth Thomas clock in the dome and the building itself are illuminated at night. Only 82 clocks of this model were built.
Winnebago County Courthouse
Wright County Courthouse

Janne-Camilla Lyster, research fellow at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, The Academy of Dance
I am a dancer, choreographer and author. I received my BA in Contemporary dance at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, the Academy of Dance in 2006. Through my artistic research project, I aim to develop literary scores for dance, and search for approaches and examine the outcome of procedures connected to writing, composing and adapting such scores.
Historical and contemporary context
My artistic research project has roots of familiarity in the so-called New York School of music, dance and visual arts 1950-ies and 60-ies. The New York School began experimenting with methods for expansion of notation systems and dissemination of information between composer and performer, and between choreographer and performer through what came to be called open form scores. These scores are characterized by their use of experimental notation, such as text, symbols, numbers and so on. Text based scores can be subdivided into two main categories: allusive scores and instructional scores. My main interest lies within the allusive type of scores, focusing on what can emerge that is not yet imagined or controlled – in creating a gap or a framing a potential for the performer/reader to engage with. In my artistic research project I will investigate how a type of allusive scores I would like to introduce as "literary scores for dance" can be crafted in a very specific way, and without strict instructions or descriptions.
An important artist in this field of work is the American choreographer Deborah Hay. Although Hay's scores are not necessarily intended as autonomous pieces of work in itself, existing independently of an orally transmitted practice, I find her collection of scores to be of great relevance to my project in that they are texts, often of poetic and literary language, written from a dance practice, and addressed to the dancer.
Main topics of research and project appraisal
I define a choreographic script as a literary score for dance, and in my own writing the main focus will lie on what I call choreographic poetry : poetry possessing a choreographic capacity, written to serve as score for dance, to be read as both poetry and dance, and to be made into a dance. A choreographic script would imply to be an autonomous score – a literary text that can be read and experienced without further explanation from another source. Through the artistic research project Choreographic poetry: Creating literary scores for dance I will search for new experience, development and knowledge concerning:
A. The writing and composing process of literary scores for dance, including: 1) Time as an embedded, indicated, initiated, experienced and found (through practice) component or agent, 2) Space as an embedded, initiated, indicated, experienced and found agent or component, 3) Experienced sound, rhythm and musicality as components or agents in the intersection between time and space, and 4) The resonance of singular words, language and image of the text in relation to the dancer's acquired, embodied complexity.
B. The process of approaching, adapting and practicing a choreographic script, including: 1) The relation to time as an embedded, indicated, initiated, experienced and found (through practice) component or agent, 2) The reading of space as an embedded, initiated, indicated, experienced and found agent or component, 3) The relation to experienced sound, rhythm and musicality as components or agents in the intersection between time and space, 4) The relation to resonance of singular words, language and image of the text in relation to the dancer's acquired, embodied complexity, and 4) Adaptation as a way of engaging with a written, poetic material and the potential of this engagement.
The project's approach to scores suggests that the dance and the text should follow each other as two autonomous, parallel tracks. The text will be written to be transformed – or transcreated – through the dancer's reading and practice of the score; hence it would not be necessary to be able to trace the exact correlation between the dance and the text at any given moment for the adaptation to be of value or for the viewer to "understand". The project's approach to the relation between text and dance can be said to be that of opacity, in the meaning that the project does not claim legitimation through a 1:1-relationship between text and the movement.
Artistic claim and project relevance
Through the specific development of choreographic poetry the project will aim to investigate what kinds of poetic language, imagery and compositions that can serve as a generative and constitutive basis for a dance, and in what ways. Through writing from a dancer's experience, proficiency and practice, I will produce literary texts of particular and potentially innovative qualities, both as literature and as scores with a specific purpose. Through the project I will search to produce and facilitate new experiences and knowledge regarding the potential of poetry's choreographic capacity, as well as dance's capacity of producing poetry and trans-creating poetry into dance. Through developing and examining approaches of adapting, interpreting and practicing such scores, the project will search to collect, unveil and articulate new knowledge and experience of relationships between poetry and dance as a mutually informing and engaging materialities and realities, potentially creating new such relationships.
Artistic result
The artistic result of the project Choreographic poetry: Creating literary scores for dance will consist of three parts: 1) A publication: A collection of choreographic scripts, procedures and documented reflection in the form of topographic essays, drawings, images and maps. 2) A series of work demonstrations, showing adaptations, and 3) An exhibition of traces of the research process (writings, sketches, videos) and published materials in different formats, including the collection of scores and documented reflection. The collection of choreographic scripts and documented reflection will be published as a unity (box of books, maps and leaflets) and made available for the public through libraries and bookstores, as well as in the format of a website. The work demonstration series and the exhibition will coincide at a suitable location (theatre, gallery or similar) and be open to the public.
Methods and approaches
Through an organic double practice of writing and performing, I will search for new ways to generate choreography through choreographic poetry in the form of literary scores, and to examine ways to approach, practice and adapt such a score into dance. I will generate and share experiences and new knowledge through seminars, open work demonstrations, presentations, and through initiating a new publication called Journal of New Dance. This publication will serve as a public workbook sharing and inviting other artists to think out loud in a practical sense through text, drawing, images, notes and scores.

U.S. stocks are left limping . . .
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- It wasn't a convincing rebound, but U.S. stocks started to claw their way back Friday from their worst sell-off of 1998. Tuesday's bear attack saw the broad market lose 3.6 percent of its value. On Friday, blue-chip issues inched forward while small- and medium-sized shares punched higher with gusto. On the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.70% retreated 285.27 points, or 3.2 percent, for its third weekly loss in a row.
Raging no more: Acampora sees Dow 7,400 . . .
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- When long-time bull Ralph Acampora, head of technical research at Prudential Securities, joined the bears on Tuesday, many felt he dragged the Dow Jones Industrial Average along with him. To be sure, plenty of factors were at play in Tuesday?s 300-point drop in the Dow, but Acampora?s about-face is another sign that Asia?s turmoil and U.S. corporate earnings woes are damaging U.S. stocks more than it seemed just one month ago.
Money managers are thinking of you . . .
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Even though individual investors weathered the turbulent storm that hit Wall Street this week, money managers are worried about what they're thinking this weekend. Individual investors have been credited with keeping the flow of money into the market consistent instead of yanking out investments after Tuesday's 299-point plunge. But because individual investors usually use the weekend to decide how best to protect that nest egg, money managers are nervous they could reverse course over the next few days.
IPO market can't generate heat . . .
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- So much for the chatter about a turnaround in the IPO arena. Instead, Wall Street's talking "market conditions." That's the reason nearly always cited by investment banks when they have to pull a pending IPO off the calendar. And a bear of a market this week, prompted a slew of companies to put off their plans for initial public offerings. The latest casualties: Enfinity, Presidio Golf Trust, Hoskawa Micron International and Pacer International.
Covered 'calls' gain following as volatility play . . .
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- As the Dow recovered from triple-digit losses to close in positive territory on Wednesday, many investors looked to use options, of all things, to lower risks of dabbling in the jumpy market. Scott Fullman, chief options strategist at Swiss American Securities, reported a surge of players "writing calls" against stock positions. Writing calls involves selling another investor the right to buy shares of a stock at a set price. In return for that, the call writer (or seller) receives a premium, which expands in times of uncertainty.
GM GM, -1.26% chief outlines post-strike future . . .
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (CBS.MW) -- General Motors wants to eliminate models, shed workers and shut older plants to transform GM into a nimbler, more competitive automaker. Now more than ever. On the same day it announced its plans, GM (GM) GM, -1.26% said July U.S. sales fell 37.7 percent -- meaning it falls behind Ford Motor Co. (F) F, -1.88% for the first time in 28 years.While analysts have been critical of what they see as GM's tardiness in restructuring, they welcomed forward-looking remarks by Chairman John F. Smith Jr.
IBM IBM, +8.46% chip innovation helps tiny Ibis ibis stand tall . . .
ARMONK, N.Y. (CBS.MW) -- Giant IBM grabbed the headlines regarding its new and improved chip process, but tiny Ibis stole the show on Wall Street. IBM's shares (IBM) IBM, +8.46% got a slight boost after it announced it has developed a method for making faster computer chips that use far less power than conventional semiconductors. The news had a bigger impact, however, on tiny Ibis Technology Corp., whose stock (IBIS) ibis jumped 38 percent. The Danvers, Mass.-based company sells silicon wafers used in the new process.
Full story StockWatch: Fake out or break out? Read this advice . . .
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- It's big-picture time, folks. U.S. stocks live and die by many measures. Before you consider buying or selling securities, now that major indexes have declined 10 percent and more from their July highs in Europe and in the United States, check out the facts. Don't get sucked into a fakeout-breakout rally or dip.
El Toro: Down but not out . . .
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Let me see if I have this straight. Whenever I write a column saying that the stock market is overvalued, stock prices go up.Whenever I say that the market will keep rising, prices fall. So in the interest of preserving wealth, happiness and the American Dream, I'm focusing this time on the reasons why the major stock market averages remain overvalued ? even in the wake of this week?s tumble.
A look at the year's 10 biggest Net busts . . .
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- So you know about amazin' Amazon. You're familiar with the tale of Yahoo! Now, it's time to shine the light on the Inter-nots. The losers. The 10 worst-performing Internet stocks of the year. Despite all the talk about a tulip-bulb-like frenzy, the fact is that many Internet companies have merely puttered along, and that was before this latest round of post-earnings turbulence.

Lambs found themselves whipped to frenzy Friday when their leader Mariah Carey unveiled news of a "special announcement" due today. Yes, many immediately assumed the diva would be lifting the lid on her newest single (which she revealed last December would debut on Valentine's Day 2014), while others hoped for a glimpse of album artwork, news of collaborators, etc.
However, they were in for quite the shock when Carey took to Instagram to share what the announcement really was. After sharing a few cryptic messages aboard her Twitter timeline, the 'Breakdown' beauty finally broke her silence moments ago.
Tuck in below for details:
Mariah uploaded the pic with the caption:
"For the nostalgia, in the spirit of giving, "All I Want For Valentine's Day" is to literally give you my heart and hopefully help people along the way. For just a small donation to St Jude's, in addition to a private concert in my home, you could win my vintage heart-shaped diamonds and rubies necklace as seen in my early videos like "Love Takes Time," "Emotions," "I'll Be There" from MTV Unplugged and even when I won my first Grammys including Best New Artist (disclaimer..in retrospect, the necklace does not match the ensemble.. but hey, what are you gonna do? LYM!!! New single launching everywhere in February!!

Are you unemployed in Michigan?
If your answer is yes, then the state of Michigan may have a solution for you.
Roughly 110,00 Michigan residents have returned to school for further job training through Michigan's "No Worker Left Behind" (NWLB) program, reports a Fox News blog. Of the program's graduates, 72 percent have found work in their new careers.
The program, which began two years ago, offers up to $10,000-worth of tuition for two years of education at a community college, university or other approved training program.
As Michigan jobs are transitioning away from manufacturing to more computerized professions, more and more workers statewide are taking advantage of this program. A Fox News blogger reports the waiting list already has reached 16,000 hopeful participants.
Enrolling 100,000 residents by November 2009 - 10 months earlier than expected - the NWLB program has exceeded initial expectations, and the Great Lakes state has acquired emergency grants to keep the program alive and assisting Michigan's workforce.
Michigan residents who are unemployed, have received a termination or layoff notice, or have a family income of less than $40,000 qualify for the program. Receiving unemployment benefits does not disqualify residents from enrolling.
To apply, residents should visit their local Michigan Works! Agency. To find your nearest Michigan Works! location, click this link: http://www.michiganworks.org/ or call 1-800-285-WORK (9675).
The first steps include attending a NWLB orientation and completing various assessments.
With career and course advising and financial aid eligibility, program participants can receive a post-secondary certificate or degree for their desired field.
Training programs that qualify for NWLB are generally entrepreneurial, in high demand or emerging sector occupations, such as many professions in the alternative and renewable energy industry. High demand occupations vary across the state, so potential participants should look at the NWLB web page, http://www.michigan.gov/nwlb/0,1607,7-242-47890---,00.html, to find which jobs are needed in their area.
Upon completion of secondary-education training, the NWLB program offers job placement counseling, resume building assistance and a job search through the Michigan Talent Bank.
For more information about the "No Worker Left Behind" program, visit http://www.michigan.gov/nwlb.

Access programs from xp hd ?
Hello guys, Just put win 7ult. on new HD other HD has XPpro the win 7 HD has only the os on it .My anti-virus and games(steam) are on the XP HD.I have it set up for duel boot. How can I get shortcuts from the XP HD on the win 7 desktop,also how do I get Kaspersky to start with win 7. Is this something that can be done or do I have to install all the good stuff from the XP HD. Thanks
|My System Specs

Windows 10 Pro (x64)
Most applications will not work unless installed.
Anti-virus is one such application.
|My System Specs
|28 Dec 2010
I doubt you'll find many, if any, applications that will work on your Windows 7 install from your XP install.
Creating the shortcuts is simply a matter of either copying them from the desktop / start menu of the XP install or copying the target executable and pasting a shortcut.
But again, I doubt they'll work.
|My System Specs

As logicearth and priteceth tell's you most of app's will not work. It's better to install them again but on Windows 7.
|My System Specs
|29 Dec 2010
Hi Thanks for the response was hoping that was not going to be the answer. So I guess there is really no point getting new HD for win7 to duel boot, should just copy over XP HD, because sooner or later you will have to put all your stuff on the win7 HD. Was kind of thinking that win7 would be master and the winXP would be slave so you could go and get what you need,ha ha silly me
|My System Specs
|29 Dec 2010
Windows 7 32 bit
Some non-portable applications can be "dual installed" on more than one OS in the same spot. If they don't put any files in shared folders or dlls in system32.. that type of thing. I used to have multiple windows OS on a drive with some apps installed under both to save space(drives were a lot smaller and more expensive then.) Some things worked pretty well. Others were more trouble than it was worth.
If the program basically has all it's code files in the install folder and uses the registry for settings, you can install under one OS, boot into the other then install again. This has the registry settings for both OS while only having one copy of the code files. But the larger the program, the more the space savings, then the greater the likelihood it will do stuff like install dlls in shared folders etc..
Also it requires the programs be installed on a partition visible from either OS when that OS is booted.
Some programs like news readers and web browsers worked pretty well, but that was back before the Local and Roaming folders for settings. Most apps that needed an install kept settings in the registry.
Uninstall was more of a hassle. You had to uninstall under one OS then use a registry cleaner in the other to remove settings for files that no longer existed.
It's only worth considering if you have some monster program and are tight on space. Otherwise just use portable apps.

The LG Styler ThinQ and the Styler Mirrored Glass Door will be on display at Europe's biggest tech trade show.
Many models of refrigerators, washers and dryers are made so that the door can be opened from either side. The process is simple.
Later this year, owners of the smart watch can use it to control Wi-Fi-connected Whirlpool washing machines, dryers and ovens.

Remember when you were five, you find shells on the beach magical and swears by the love of God that you hear music when you place it to your ear. When it rains, you would sit by the window watching every drop touches the ground with the drizzly tune in your ears just to wait for the seven colours in the sky to show, never knowing what it was, wondering what is in there, possibly seen angel too.. Until gummy bear shows up and tells you that YOU'RE WRONG. Santa Claus doesn't exist, he's not sexy and you very well know it. Unicorn doesn't exist, no, I don't think they were made up by corn farmers. Prince Charming in white shiny armour only falls for the most beautiful woman in his kingdom. So you see, adults mindfucks you, then tear your dreams apart after. Same goes to many things in life, really. Your school teacher tells you that you're doing great, but you could do better, when you have more reds in your report card than your wardrobe. Your boss tells you that you are their best candidate in the interview, hires you, then overworks you with a shit pay with no assistance, just to fire you six months later with a lame excuse of insufficient fund of head counts. Your partner tells you that you're a wonderful partner, have great sex with you, brings you to dinner with their family, just to get their heads turned and attention split when an opposite sex walks by. Don't you wish there is a life directory board that you could refer to. Yeah, chances are you'll find what you need. Information on the board may not always be accurate, it could not be updated and lead you to places you don't want to be at but at least a guideline of some sort. Even the Bible and Quran only tell you how to think, feel and believe with a bundle of stories as reference. Don't get me wrong, I'm a God believer, I've my faith and belief too. Just a random thought to share. To add on to that, every holy line comes with hidden meanings! See, how to live la liddat..... OMFG.

Never been
I love falling asleep listening to snores like kids and their lullabies.. Best accompanied by some jazzy bossa novas. What a relaxing night, like I'm ready to move forward. I think I am. Over the weekend, I've proven the statement of Women Can Drink, when I beat a man at drinking. Ecoba has never been this fun nor Carlberg been this tasty. A toast to Oktoberfest!

This, I call it karma. Lesson never learned. Maybe she's just self-challenging, self-abusing, preparing for the worse to come. Maybe. May it be worth while. God bless her.

One night, when we decided to drop by Movida after Craig's event at Shah's Village.
My boys' first time there, didn't like it.
Gave next table a MAGIC finger for some chap was being an absolute turn-off.
My bad. F-Off mode switched on then.

Zoo Mission
It happened over the 1-week holiday last week, I believe it was a Wednesday..
Honestly, I've lost track of my days since my alcoholism started. I even think I murdered something last night. I remember.. it's...... an ant. BULLS!
So back to my story, on that very particular day, I read off Facebook about 3-4 group of my friends who also visited the zoo, all different timing! FREAK.
Wait, back to my real story. The six of us - Clayton, Steffie, Penny, Mark, Geoff and yours truly, me, drove down the hundreds and hundreds of miles to Zoo Negara after an unsatisfying Dim Sum breakfast at 'Yuen Garden' or something.. (It's in SS2, same row as Sri Siam, at the corner)
The trip was a disappointing one. I guess the cheap thrills we enjoyed when we were toddlers simply aren't meant to thrill us anymore. Take my advice, just leave it as that. I rather comfortably be couch potato switching onto Astro Discovery Channel at home to watch the animals eating off one another with more wild actions. I could easily google 'zoo animals' to see how hippopotamus and leopard looks like, really, bet you it'll be more fascinating.
Also, the large crowd didn't help. There were more migrants than animals! I dislike crowd like that, just like I never enjoyed concerts unless if I'm given the VIP area.. I need not build interpersonal relationship by rubbing sweaty, sticky, sweaty hands with them nor to lookout for pick-pockets.
Enough. Goodbye zoo. I never liked you anyway..
