Will it load up fully in safe mode?
It will not boot in safe mode or safe mode with prompt or networking. I think its just me im cursed. The other system im running is having problems now i booted it up and a window came on just after windows loaded saying i had a invalid image check this agains your windows diskette. So gonna have to reinstal again. Im gonna just have to go agains my own advice and just buy a [bleep]ing pre-built system. Its pretty obvious that im just destroying everything im touching.
Thanks for the help samm,doby but i think i'll just leave my system to rot in [bleep].
Ok, do what ever you think is best.
If you are tempted to have another fiddle with the system though, I would recommend maybe changing the IDE cable. If both drives are giving you the inaccessible boot device error still, then the cable being the only common component could be the problem.
Well you are going to have to format the drive again this has something to do with the ide controller and the driver it is using, remove the slave hdd and format the boot drive then install windows.
Right after you install windows you need to install the chipset drivers and all other drivers that are on the cd that came with your mobo, make sure the cd is labled as the correct one for your mobo just in case they shipped the wrong cd with the mobo.
It seems to me that the hdd controllers driver is some how gettig corrupted creating this problem, during install windows uses its generic driver but then you update this driver to the correct one when you run the cd that came with the mobo. Maybe it is here that the problem beginns. you are install these drivers aren't you?
After you get all the mobo drivers installed get a virus scan running and then get all the MS critical updates except service pack 2 and any driver updates MS recommends.
Then run the system for awhile before you install the 2nd hdd to see how it works.
Ok i used a bran spank IDE cable and installed xp with no trouble now im gonna put on the chipset drivers and the network drivers for my ethernet but it just keeps coming up with network cable unplugged so i aint been on live or central station for about a month now.
OK so far so good.. thanks for the advice i wasnt sure if putting the chipset drivers on was corrupting the HDDs in some way.
Just a suggestion from a humble noob, but one way to fix hardware problems is by stripping down this one and taking one stick of memory, one ide cable, and the working hd from your working comp, then put it in your crap comp. if it works, start replasing the old parts one by one untill you find the problem.
Edited by nixx, 16 May 2005 - 04:43 PM.
He has already done all that, it was one of the first things we suggested!
Ok i'm gonna go out and get another MOBO and memory to see if its gonna help.
As I read this, (and I'm trying) you've been working on this puppy for over a month and have yet to hear it bark like a real Dawg. You've gotten some pretty good guidance but every time I read your next post it has little or no relationship to the advice you were just given. Blotto - notta, notta! Makes me suspect that I've got a problem with my monitor because nothing follows. I've read this thread about 3 times now and still can't figure out what you're doing.
Help me out here ....... just what is it that another board and some more memory is going to do for you?
do the opposite of what i said... one by one, replace the crap parts into your working comp untill you find the problem or are down to just a motherboard...that should work.
Yeh thats pretty much y im gonna be getting a new MOBO and memory so i can rule them out because i have tryed all my harddrives and CPU they all seem to work in my other build just not this one im having trouble with. Ihave sorted the harddrive problem on the pc im using now i just formated it using fat32 and everything seems to be running ok now.

RCCD faces lawsuit due to ADA noncompliance
Posted: May 27, 2015 | Written by: Steven Smith
A lawsuit looms over the head of the Riverside Community College District as it tries to deal with the 23,165 points of non-compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act identified in its transition plan in 2010.
The transition plan document is required under the American's with Disabilities Act to identify any barriers and provide a plan and timeframe for their removal.
The last plan was created by RCCD in 2010 identifying 23,165 barriers to be corrected in a 5 year timeframe at an estimated cost of $39,594,553. This was in contrast to the previous transition plan created in 1997 which only cited approximately 200 barriers.
As a part the creation of the 2010 plan, RCCD performed a survey with the help of contracting group Psomas and subcontractor BOA Architecture, and compiled a database of all the accessibility barriers found throughout all district facilities.
"We went through every building, every room, every walkway and we identified everything that wasn't within the ADA codes," Calvin Belcher, project manager for RCCD, said.
Barriers were prioritized based upon standards set by the Department of Justice, and designs for "Phase I" were drawn up to address 4,704 of the highest priority barriers with particular attention set on access to restrooms.
In September 2010, the Board of Trustees approved the plans for Phase I and allocated $6.4 million to the project. After the 4,704 items being addressed by Phase I, a total 10,711 other barriers were being addressed by other construction projects while the remaining 7,750 barriers awaited further funding.
Phase I was completed in 2014.
"Now the plan was, now that we have (the transition plan), that if we had more funding, we'd go back for Phase II," Belcher said.
In 2009 RCCD held a public forum seeking public input on the transition plan; a requirement under ADA law. According to a Viewpoints news article, Salvador Gomez Jr., a disabled employee of the college, was present at the forum.
"I have seen a lot of changes," Gomez said, being quoted in the article. "We have gone pretty far but we still need changes."
In January 2013, Gomez filed a complaint against the District at the Riverside Superior Court requesting injunctive relief for disability discrimination under the American's with Disabilities Act.
"(RCCD) has an obligation, but has failed to, remove these physical barriers to ensure that each of its programs, services and activities are readily accessible to and usable by person with mobility disabilities," the complaint stated.
According to court records, Gomez was paralyzed from the waist down because of a motorcycle accident in 1985. Despite being restricted to a wheelchair, Gomez worked as a community service officer at RCC until his employment ended in 2011.
RCCD denied all initial charges and asserted that it remained compliant with the Americans with Disabilities, citing the ADA transition plan as a core document in its defense.
As a part of the litigation, two expert architects, one representing each side of the case, compiled their own analysis of ADA deficiencies at Riverside City College. The resulting litigation reports exceeded 200 pages, with approximately 533 items, including items on buildings constructed after 2010.
"From a lay person's perspective, it becomes daunting to get a file that is literally an inch-and-a-half thick that says: you should look through this and see what needs to get done," said RCCD Director of Risk Management Michael Simmons.
In response to the litigation the District created a Facilities ADA Correction Team, headed by Simmons.
The team consists of 19 people in key positions to respond to issues around ADA. They are currently working on a project charter that would address the remaining issues in the 2010 transition plan and litigation reports, according to Simmons.
The parties in the lawsuit are working on informal negotiations with many of the original items in the litigation report already being rectified. The next court appearance is scheduled for June 25.
The District denied a to provide an electronic copy of the transition plan when Viewpoints submitted a public records request in April. The response cited a "pending litigation" exception under the California public records act.
Much information about the lawsuit and negotiations will remain under wraps until the case is fully adjudicated.
"The District anticipates resolution of the Gomez case at some point in the 2015 calendar year," the response stated. At that point the records will become fully disclosed.

Companera (Dakota del Toro – 0) by Julia DeBarrioz
Marginalized young women have a tendency to disappear in New Mexico. PCT Bounty hunter Dakota del Toro knows the local vampire coven and their pet werewolves are to blame, but the badge she carries means she requires pesky things like admissible evidence and warrants to act—however when a bereaved mother comes to Dakota for help in recovering her daughter from the Lobos Diablos gang this bounty hunter will risk her career, her freedom, and her very life to bring Pilar Guzmán home.
Diego de Gama seems too good to be true—a handsome, wealthy, gallery owner who can dance and behave like a gentleman? What century is he from, anyway? On a night out on the town with the girls Dakota thinks she's found a keeper, but Diego has a secret that could turn the archaic power structure of Santa Fe's vampires on its head. However, he knows he can't do it alone—and who would make a better compañera than the Cazadora herself? If only he could stop kissing her long enough to ask her…
Julia DeBarrioz lives in the countryside near Saint Louis with her beloved husband and an ever growing zoo of winged and furred wards, including two conures, a large flock of fancy chickens, and an English bulldog.
She has a BFA with emphasis in painting and printmaking. When she's not writing she loves to draw, paint, and daydream. When applying for university most of her portfolio consisted of portraits of her book characters. The universe of Dakota del Toro has been long in the making, and she is very excited to finally share this part of her imagination with the public.
Julia has traveled the world extensively, and her wander lust has taken her to Europe, Asia, Latin America, and all over the United States. For all her travels, Santa Fe, New Mexico retains the crown as her favorite dot on the map.
Dakota del Toro is a bounty hunter for the PCT, Preternatural Control Team that specializes in shifters. Several girls have gone missing lately and Dakota just knows it's the local werewolves that are responsible but she knows that working for the PCT means that she needs to find proof before taking them out.
While investigating she meets a gallery owner, Diego de Gama that is more than human. Although having a hard time in relationships she finds herself drawn to Diego. Dakota knows that he wants her professional help and her so she is torn on how to react to him.
This is a great paranormal story. You have vampires, shifters, and a team that takes them out. I really liked Dakota. She is one tough cookie and doesn't take crap from anyone. I love how she does the odd cases even if it causes a rift between her and the other bounty hunters.
As for the missing girls and the vampire drama, I loved this story. I couldn't put the book down and couldn't turn pages fast enough to see what was going to happen next. I loved this story and can't wait to read more from Julia DeBarrioz.

The Serpent Bearer and The Prince of Stars
Welcome to The Sperpent-Bearer and the Prince of Stars blog tour! Read on to learn more about this beautifully illustrated graphic novel by C.S. Johnson, and a chance to win a copy for yourself!
The Serpent-Bearer and the Prince of Stars
Publication Date: November 7th, 2018
Genre: Manga Style/ Graphic Novel
A tiresome task.
A deceptive dragon.
A prince that changes everything.
Ophiuchus is a celebrated warrior of the Celestial Kingdom and a warrior among the Stars. He has been always been a dutiful servant of the Prince of Stars. So when the prince asks him to watch over the crafty serpent, Naga, Ophiuchus agrees. But as time passes and discouragement—both from Naga and others—Ophiuchus wonders if the Prince of Stars was right in asking him to take on the burdens of his task.
Will Ophiuchus honor his duty, or give into his heart's weariness?
C. S. Johnson is the award-winning, genre-hopping author of several novels, including young adult sci-fi and fantasy adventures such as the Starlight Chronicles, the Once Upon a Princess saga, and the Divine Space Pirates trilogy. With a gift for sarcasm and an apologetic heart, she currently lives in Atlanta with her family. Find out more at here

Ophiuchus is a warrior of the Celestial Kingdom. He has been giving the tasks of watching the serpent, Naga. We join the two of them as they are at the Prince of Stars party. It's clear that Ophiuschus had friends and power but now Naga has made him doubt himself and those around him.
As the different stars come to talk to him some try to help and others are clear that they look down on him. But it's Naga that is constantly reminding Ophiuchus that he is weak, nothing, and not longer wanted in the stars. Ophiuchus has enough and returns to his own home to find the Prince there upset that he left the party.
This is an interesting read. It's a bit of a confusing look into this world. I am very curious to learn more about it but I have to admit that I'm not really fond of the other warriors; they clearly have a bit of an ego problem.
But then when you read the author's note at the end things start making more sense. My heart goes out to the author and I do like how things are portrayed. I would like to read more of this world and think that it will touch and make many re-evaluate their own lives.

UFSC placed 23rd best university in Latin America in British consultancy ranking
The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) is the 23rd among the best institutions of the Latin America University Rankings 2022, made by the British consultancy QS Quacquarelli Symonds. The result is available in Latin America 2022and also indicates that UFSC is the fourth highest scoring federal institution in the country, standing out in all the criteria evaluated. UFSC holds this position for the second consecutive year.
Check out the QS Top Universities assessment
This year's edition included the participation and analysis of 416 institutions, with 11 new applicants. The index for each university is based on eight indicators with different weights: academic reputation (30%), employability reputation (20%), ratio of professor per student (10%), faculty with doctoral degrees (10%), international research network (10%), citations per article (10%), articles per institution (5%) and overall impact (5%).
UFSC had an outstanding performance in criteria such as general impact, in which it guaranteed the sixth best average; faculty with doctoral degrees, among the top ten of the continent; and international research network, securing twelfth place. The institution also maintained a good average in the other criteria, reaching the score 70.00, which places it among the best in Brazil and the continent.
"UFSC has maintained its position for the second consecutive year, even with successive budget cuts, and frequent attacks on university autonomy, and with an emergency remote teaching in place. We know that the pandemic has presented us with several challenges to our professors, administrative staff and students, and I celebrate these results, because they show that we are maintaining our quality, and we will continue with research, teaching and extension of excellence, "concludes the rector of UFSC, Ubaldo Cesar Balthazar.

the planet. Their actions speak louder than words. Their words once had impact and meaning but now mean nothing – at least to some of those who know them well.


First, the summit planned for the N.O. two years back was meant to showcase the rebuilt Big Easy, a monument to can-do Bush-o-nomics. Well, it is a monument to Bush's leadership: The city still looks like Dresden 1946, with over half the original residents living in toxic trailers or wandering lost and broke in America.
The second reason Bush has kept this major summit a virtual secret is its real agenda – and the real agenda-makers. The names and faces of the guys who called the meeting must remain as far out of camera range as possible: The North American Competitiveness Council.
Never heard of The Council? Well, maybe you've heard of the counsellors: the chief executives of Wal-Mart, Chevron Oil, Lockheed-Martin and 27 other multinational masters of the corporate universe.
Harmonization has nothing to do with singing in fifths like Simon and Garfunkel.
Harmonization means making rules and regulations the same in all three countries. Or, more specifically, watering down rules "" on health, safety, labor rights, oil drilling, polluting and so on – in other words, any regulations that get between The Council members and their profits.
Take for example, pesticides. Wal-Mart and agri-business don't want to reduce the legal amount of poison allowed in what you eat. Solution: "harmonize" US and Canadian pesticide standards to Mexico's.
Can they do that? Can Bush just say, "Eat your peas "" even if they're radioactive"? Under NAFTA, at least the way George Bush reads it (or has it read to him), he can.
When the three chiefs of state meet privately with the thirty corporate chiefs, they are also expected to erase a bit more of our borders. Technically, they will expand the "NAFTA Highway" – which is, in addition to lots of new blacktop, a set of regulations governing transcontinental shipment. Some fear NAFTA Highway expansion will allow a new flood of cheap Mexican products into the US and Canada. Not so. The Council's hunger to widen the NAFTA highway is to bring in even cheaper Chinese goods.
As trade expert Maude Barlow explained to me, the new NAFTA Highway will allow Chinese stuff dumped into Mexico to be hauled northward as duty-free "Mexican" products. That's one of the quiet aims of this "Summit for Security and Prosperity," the official Orwellian name for this meet. Think of the SPP "harmonization" as the Trojan Taco of trade with China.
Barlow is Chairwoman of the Council of Canadians. She is known as the "Ralph Nader of Canada" (not Nader version 2.0, The Spoiler Candidate, but Nader 1.0, the consumer advocate). Because Americans are too distracted by the Punch-and-Judy primaries to complain about this lobby-fest on the bayou, Canadian Barlow is leading street protests against the SPP greed-grab.
I caught up with this courageous Canadian (I've seen her face down corporate bullying we can't imagine in the US) on her way down to New Orleans. Barlow is especially horrified that the SPP agreement promotes a five-fold increase in the mining of Canadian tar sands for import, as liquid crude oil, into the USA, an idea filthier than a re-make of Debbie Does Dallas. "This is an insane model of development," she says, especially given Bush's recent claim that he wants to slow global warming.
There will be other anti-SPP protesters in New Orleans as well, from America's populist Right. They are concerned that the Summit is worse than the "NAFTA on steroids" that Barlow fears. The populists see in the SPP a nascent "North American Union," and the elimination of the good old US of A.
They're wrong, of course. The USA was eliminated years ago, at least economically. The globalizers, the Competitiveness Council members, are a multinational crew, with one shared set of country clubs, beach homes, art collections, union busters and lobbyists knowing no borders.
The populist radio hosts railing against the coming North American Union don't realize that these CEOs won't take away our flags or Fourth of July or Star-Spangled Banner. The rags and flags will always be kept around to con the schmucks along the Yahoo Belt into donating their children to the Iraq Occupation or other misadventures. Likewise for Mexico's rulers: A billionaire like Carlos Slim, the richest man on the planet (sorry, Mr. Gates), didn't buy the Mexican government to "protect" his nation from Gringos but to protect his media monopoly. The corporation that purchases Canada's leaders, Barrick Gold of Toronto, has looted treasuries from Tanzania to Nevada to Chile – and shared the spoils on both sides of the border with their well-greased advisors Brian Mulroney, former Prime Minister of Canada, and George Bush Sr., former head of the US CIA.
So there is no United States of America nor Canada nor Mexico – at least as we like to imagine ourselves in our national fairy tales: self-governing democracies run by we the people or nosotros el pueblo. There's just the diktats of the North American Prosperity Council. Get used to it.
To underscore the fact that you aren't invited, nor our elected representatives, Barlow related to me that the US Ambassador to Canada told her the legal changes wrought in New Orleans will not be put before the three national Congresses for a vote. "We don't want to open up another NAFTA," he told her. So, they'll skip the voting stuff. Democracy is so, like, 20th Century.

High School Essay Contest: Honorable Mention
This semester, the Buckley Program held a high school essay contest with the topic: If you could propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, what would it be? The following essay by Naomi Kostman, a junior at Greenwich High, won an Honorable Mention.
The New Face of America
The United States prides itself on being a nation of immigrants. The Statue of Liberty, reads, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." However, Article II Section 1 of the Constitution states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President…" This section has discredited the population of naturalized citizens that has grown by 6.6 million in the past decade as not "American" enough. The 28th Amendment to the Constitution should allow for an individual who is a citizen and is at least 35 years of age to be eligible to run for president regardless of his/her country of birth. It is time for the United States to earn its reputation of giving a voice to all people by allowing those who have worked hard to become citizens the right to represent this country.
The 28th Amendment would allow for anyone who embodies what it truly means to be an American to run for president. Being an American means having the work ethic to fight for a better life and build success from the bottom up, while holding strong moral values of family and community. None of these qualities are attainable only by taking one's first breath of air within the borders of the United States. One example of this is former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Albright was forced to flee her birthplace of Czechoslovakia twice, once from Nazi persecution and later from the rise of communism. Despite the threat of persecution, she was able to attend attended Wellesley College, and Columbia University. She built her success from the bottom up and her hard work payed off as she became the first female secretary of state. There is nothing more American than working toward success despite adversity. Albright came to embrace American values, so much so that she chose to become a citizen of a country whose spirit she embodies. However, as it stands, the Constitution implies that she is not "American" enough to run for president.
Many claim that a President that was born in another country will have conflicting loyalties. This was one of the main concerns of the Framers during the Constitutional Convention, but being born in the United States does not dictate whether or not one is loyal to this country. The Framers even chose to include, "…or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution…" in Article II Section 1. They gave presidential eligibility to any individual who was a citizen at that time because some of the loyal men among them were not born in the United States. A key example of this is Alexander Hamilton. How could they deny such a patriotic figure presidential eligibility after all of the work he had put into building this nation, simply because he had been born on an island in the Caribbean?
In addition, the need for an individual to be a natural-born citizen in order for he/she to be lead this country is debased by the loyalty of immigrants and the disloyalty of certain Americans. According to the Migration Policy Institute, in 2008, 65,000 immigrants were serving in the Armed Forces, making up 5% of all active-duty personnel. There is no greater proof of loyalty to this country than putting one's very livelihood at risk in order to protect the United States of America. 65,000 individuals volunteer themselves to defend the freedom of those that live in the United States, and there is no doubt about where their loyalties lie.
Amendment 28: Any citizen, either natural-born or naturalized, 35 years of age, who has been a resident in the United States for 14 years shall be eligible to the Office of President.
Birthplace does not define how loyal or "American" an individual is; it is dictated by the actions of said person. If we are to claim that we are a nation of immigrants, we must give those that have worked hard to become citizens of this country the chance to lead it.

Buckley College Essay Contest: 1st Place Winner
High School Essay Contest: 3rd Place


Since 1983 mystery fans have enjoyed Michael Bond's series of detective comedies featuring retired Sûreté member Monsieur Pamplemousse and his dog Pommes Frites, and since 1958 children have been delighting in Bond's books chronicling the very funny adventures of Paddington Bear-one of the most beloved children's characters of all time.
The Monsieur Pamplemousse series is a unique blend of comedy and mystery. As an inspector for the prestigious restaurant rating directory Le Guide, Monsieur Pamplemousse (along with Pommes Frites) travels around the country sampling the finest cuisine and wines at the best restaurants in France, while stumbling into one hilarious mystery after another. Mr. Bond has recently completed another novel, Monsieur Pamplemousse on Probation. He spoke to us about his early writing career, the inspiration behind his two most famous characters, and the state of writing in general.
TSM: You've probably been asked this many times, but how did you create Paddington?
MB: Well, one morning I had a blank sheet of paper in my typewriter, and, as I am sure you know only too well, unless you put some words on it nobody else is going to. I had bought my first wife a toy bear the previous Christmas as a stocking filler and because we lived near Paddington Station we called it Paddington. I think the names of characters are important because they conjure up an immediate picture, and certainly to English ears, Paddington is a very safe sounding name; solid and dependable. It was sitting on the mantelpiece and to get my mind working I started writing a few words about it. They caught my fancy, so I wrote on, and by the end of the morning I had what turned out to be the first chapter of a book. It wasn't intended for any particular age group, which is probably the ideal way to write a children's book. Most children hate being written down to anyway, and provided the meaning is clear within the context, they don't even mind long words. I used to like long words myself when I was a child, even if I did mispronounce them. "Established" I thought of as "estuarated," and it still comes back to me that way when I see it over a shop doorway. I wrote the first book very quickly-a chapter a day for eight days. As with all books in a series, the first is comparatively easy because you go wherever your fancy takes you. The ones that follow are often more difficult because the parameters are set and it's too late to change them. Paddington is very firmly set in his particular surroundings in London. He's not the sort of character who would go to the moon or do anything adventurous like that.
TSM: Were you surprised by Paddington's success?
MB: Well, yes and no, and it certainly wasn't instant. The book went the rounds of half a dozen publishers and it was rejected for one reason or another, either because they already had a bear character or it was the wrong length or whatever. I think if you're an author and something isn't right with what you've written there's a little voice inside you which tells you so, and you ignore it at your peril. Deep down I was very happy with it, and even now I wouldn't change anything. The first book-A Bear Called Paddington-did well in the sense that it got on to one or two best seller lists and a "recommended reading" list for schools. But with books you are writing for a relatively small audience. Generally speaking, however successful it is, the audience is relatively small compared with television. So it wasn't really until some years later when I decided to try my hand at adapting it for the relatively new medium that the series really took off. Suddenly, instead of sales figures measured in tens of thousands, you have an audience of millions. Then there is the fact that because the cost of making animated films is so high, there has to be a lot of merchandising (to use a horrible word) to help pay for them, and that adds to the general awareness. If you create a character who lends himself to that kind of thing, although the books remain the foundation stone, you become involved in many other areas you probably hadn't even dreamed of.
TSM: I remember reading one of your books when I was a young boy, and I kept thinking "Paddington"-what a great name. Then I grew up and read Agatha Christie's 4:50 From Paddington and I thought to myself, so that's where the name is from-it's from Paddington Station.
MB: Yes, years ago I had a letter from a small boy in America who said he was so used to Paddington being the name of a bear it seemed a funny name for a station.
TSM: So do you think of the plot beforehand or does the plot sort of happen as you go along?
MB: Usually with the Monsieur Pamplemousse books it starts with a setting or a situation and it develops as I go along. I'm very fond of France, and compared with England it's much bigger and being bounded by other countries more varied, so there are always new areas to explore. I find that I visit a place, maybe staying a week (to get the feel of it) and doing research, and in that way ideas are triggered. Not necessarily at the time, but often much later. For instance, Monsieur Pamplemousse Stands Firm came about some time after I'd visited a place called Arcachon, which is on the west coast of France, near Bordeaux. I had always avoided it because, looking on the map, it's a very dull, flat area. Then, when I went there, I actually fell in love with it. It's very French, a major oyster growing area on the edge of a big inland sea, and there were hardly any foreigners about. One of the scenic features is that all along that part of the coast there are enormous sand dunes, and just outside Arcachon they have the biggest one in Europe. In fact, if you try to walk up it, it takes about a quarter of an hour to get to the top.
Anyway, we spent about a week there, and when we came away I didn't really have any ideas at all for a story. Then, about six months later, the daily paper arrived and on the front page there was a picture of that very dune. It was a winter when all of Europe had suffered terrible gales and the sand had shifted to reveal an old army tank which had been there for, I suppose, about fifty years. At the time I happened to be reading about the state of Germany immediately after the war when people were unearthing a lot of buried treasure and artworks which had been looted by the Germans. I also read that a lot of it had "disappeared" a second time, only to turn up in America. So the two things came together in my mind and out of it sprang a story which involved Monsieur Pamplemousse staying in Arcachon when some characters turned up out of the blue hoping to retrieve their loot. Wondering how they might pin-point the spot where it was buried in the sand dune, I remembered that on the far side of the inland sea there was a lighthouse which could be used to take a bearing from the hotel where they would be staying. Then more research revealed that just after the war the original had been knocked down and moved to a new site about a hundred yards away, which of course they wouldn't know about, so straight away there was a twist in the plot. Having started off with no ideas at all and ended up with the bones of a situation, I returned to Arcachon to take lots of reference photographs, because however well you think you know a place as soon as you begin to write about it you realise how little remains in your memory. Were the streets cobbled? What colour were the roof tiles? All the little details that help to make a story believable.
TSM: How did you create Pamplemousse? Was he inspired by anyone you met or knew?
MB: I always find that I need something tangible to focus on. I think if you have a clear picture in your mind of what a character looks like you start to build up a kind of mental dossier of how he or she will react in a given situation. Plots should develop through the character's reactions and mode of behaviour and not the other way round. With Paddington for instance, if I put him into, say, a tennis match, but have no idea for a story, because I know him so well the dialogue immediately starts to come to life, and one idea triggers off another. I really modelled M. Pamplemousse on an old French film star called Raimu. I first saw him just after the war in a wonderful Marcel Pagnol trilogy-Marius, Fanny and César-in which he played the part of a bar owner in Marseilles. Afterwards I went to see everything he was in. He always stayed in my mind. I suppose I started writing detective fiction largely because of my mother. She used to go down to the local library every Friday and return with an armful of mystery books, so I was brought up in a house where they were part of the furniture. For that I shall always be grateful.
TSM: My mother as well used to love detective stories, whether it was Sherlock Holmes or Arsène Lupin.
MB: Mine only read English writers; Freeman Wills Croft and John Rhode were her particular favourites as I remember. She liked the gentleman detective type of stories, which were popular at the time. She didn't care for the American ones because she thought they were too violent. I really only came across them for the first time when I was in the forces. I went out to Canada when I was in the Air Force to do my flying training and I discovered this whole new world of Dashiell Hammett and Earle Stanley Gardner and many others. They were wonderful. After the war I got hooked on George Simenon and for many years read everything he ever wrote. However, because humour is my particular forte, when I came to take up the genre I wanted a character who, although he was a loner like Maigret, solved his crimes largely by accident rather than design. Don't ask me why, but in the beginning Monsieur Pamplemousse was going to be the last detective in Paris who rode a bicycle. I even bought myself a French racing machine to get the feel of the whole thing. Then I discovered that the saddle was much harder than I remembered as a boy and the hills had become much steeper, so I gave up the idea. Also, I wanted get my character outside Paris and I didn't, at the time, know a great deal about French Police procedure.
TSM: Yes, I remember that was the first M. Pamplemousse book. That was such a surprise. It was very funny. Going back to your mother-did she encourage you to write?
MB: No, but she certainly encouraged me to read. When I was small I never went to bed without a story. But I doubt if she ever pictured me writing for a living. In fact, when I eventually gave up working for the BBC in order to write full time, I think both my parents were worried that I had given up a nice, safe job for what sounded to them like a very precarious existence.
But going back to M. Pamplemousse, the other element that came about during that fateful meal was that I decided my character wouldn't be a working detective. Instead, I would make him an ex-member of the Paris Sûreté who had blotted his copybook and been forced to take early retirement. Since then he had become an Inspector for Le Guide-the oldest and most prestigious restaurant guide in France. In that way he would be free to travel the length and breadth of the country and would meet his adventures en route. Another thing happened. The restaurant where we were eating had a lovely non-descript black dog called Giankin, who kept a watchful eye on everything that was going on, never interfering but occasionally licking his lips in approval. I decided a dog would make an ideal travelling companion for Monsieur Pamplemousse, especially if it was one with gourmet tendencies and could help pass judgement on the food. And so Pommes Frites, a bloodhound who also had to take early retirement from the Paris Sûreté, was born.
TSM: Have you brought any of your own characteristics to Pamplemousse? For example your love of travel or your appreciation of French cuisine and wines?
MB: Yes. And the nice thing about it is that all three come under the heading of legitimate research! Apart from that, like me, Monsieur Pamplemousse is a Capricorn by birth. When Capricorns set their sights on something, they don't necessarily reach their goal in a hurry, but they are determined to get there in the end, which is a useful attribute for a detective to have. I suppose most characters have something of the author in them, although having said that I'm not like Paddington. He's more what I would like to be. I think he has his life very well organised.
TSM: Yes, I know. What's great is that when Paddington goes somewhere he's treated as a human being.
MB: He certainly gets more respect than I do at times! I sometimes wish I had his "hard stare." I think the important thing about the stories is that nobody ever says: "Oh gosh-a talking bear!" They totally accept him at face value. If they didn't the whole thing would collapse like a pricked balloon. When I first dabbled in radio plays, I wrote one or two that were set in France and usually had some young man staying in a village where there would be a statue of a beautiful girl who was rumoured to come alive for the night whenever there was a full moon, which of course there always was . . .They were mostly rejected on the grounds that "We like the writing, but we don't do fantasy." The fact is that all stories are fantasy. Monsieur Pamplemousse is fantasy. A bear living as a human being in Notting Hill Gate in London is fantasy in the extreme, but because nobody in the stories every queries it or finds it all strange it becomes acceptable and totally believable. If an author believes in his characters that's half the battle. If you don't believe in them yourself then no one else is going to.
TSM: The Pamplemousse stories are light-hearted. They don't really have any violence. What do you think of the mysteries that are being published today, where the emphasis seems to be more on graphic violence than on the mystery itself?
MB: I find that certainly with some books it worries me from a technical point of view, because so much of it seems to go unpunished. The pages are often littered with dead bodies. But I suppose we live in a violent age and sadly one gets anaesthetised to it. I've recently discovered Lawrence Block and although his books are often violent it isn't gratuitous.
TSM: They're a pleasure to read. All of the books are great mysteries but how do you manage to tie the element of humour into the mystery plot?
MB: Well, that's the way I write. The humour creeps in, and I tend to look for humorous situations. I wouldn't be capable of writing a serious book, although in the field of detective/mystery writing humorous books are in the minority. But then, there are so many different categories. Last year I was in a big store in Paris and the book department had mounted a display-I think there were about twenty five different tables-ranging from historical detective, police detective, private eye, an enormous range of detective stories within the genre, but not many humorous ones.
TSM: I think that very few writers can successfully combine humour and mystery.
MB: I've just finished reading one-I'm afraid I can't remember the writer's name-where Groucho Marx is the detective. I came across it by chance and it's really very good.
TSM: In your writing career is there anything which you would have liked to have written or which you would like to write in the future which you have not yet written?
MB: Paddington has done most things, but he has yet to be involved in a feature film-and that may well happen. I have a number of children's books, Paddington and others in the pipeline. As for Monsieur Pamplemousse-I would certainly like to carry on with him for a while. You get very fond of your own characters, you know. They become part of your life.
TSM: Finally-your children-did they grow up reading Paddington Bear?
MB: My daughter, Karen, was born the same year, almost the same month, that the first Paddington book came out, so she was quite literally brought up with it. In fact, she thought for some time that I wrote a book and sent it off, then the publisher sent me a printed version and that was the end of it. She came home very excited one day and said: "Daddy, I've seen one of your books in a shop and it's the same as mine!" The concept of numbers is hard to grasp when you are small. I have three grandchildren now. My grandson, he's my best . . .
MB: Not just fan-he's a salesman. If he goes into a supermarket, he goes straight up to the cashier and says: "My grandfather writes books about Paddington Bear." So he's very useful. I'm encouraging him to do that.
TSM: You should have him try to sell Pamplemousse as well.
MB: I'm working up to that!

Boost to broadband consumer protections
The Turnbull Government has announced a range of new protections to ensure broadband customers get the level of service they expect from their retail service provider as they transition to the National Broadband Network (NBN).
The new protections will empower consumers to make informed decisions about their internet plan, and will ensure greater transparency by retail service providers.
The Government has issued a direction to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to implement the new protections and will provide $8.7 million over three years to support these measures.
The ACMA will require retailers to:
improve their complaints handling processes, including informing customers of the time it will take to fix a service and providing a key point of contact;
perform a line test to confirm a working connection at installation, and undertake a line speed test at any time if requested by a customer;
re-activate a service on a legacy network within a certain timeframe if an erroneous disconnection has occurred and the NBN cannot be connected;
publicly release complaints statistics received by large service providers to help consumers differentiate between retailers based on the quality of their customer service;
explain to consumers how different speed tiers can be applied in their home or business, as well as a 'critical information summary' for NBN services when signing consumers to a new contract.
The ACMA will also:
undertake further research into modem quality, potentially leading to the introduction of technical standards, or a modem performance rating scheme.
In addition, the Government will require nbn to establish a consumer experience dashboard to:
publicly report nbn connection, fault repair and service delivery performance.
The measures follow the release of research by the ACMA which found that the supply chain from the NBN to the customer is not clear and often involves a number of parties. The Government's direction follows advice from the ACMA.
"The rollout of the NBN is a once-in-a-generation migration process that will see every home and business in the nation able to hook up a new high-speed broadband connection," Minister for Communications, Senator Mitch Fifield said.
"While the majority of customers migrating to the NBN enjoy a smooth experience, with such a huge number of homes and businesses connecting to the NBN every day we want to ensure the experience is the best it can be."
These tougher customer protections follow nbn's announcement last week of big discounts for its wholesale higher-speed services.
Additionally, the ACCC recently announced the commencement of the Broadband Performance Monitoring and Reporting program, which will provide users with data on the real-world broadband speeds experienced from various RSPs.
An industry CEO roundtable, convened by the Minister for Communications, is continuing to work on customer experience improvements including reducing waiting times for nbn activations and streamlining appointment bookings.

What service can you offer that is not managed? The delivery of any service must be managed to assure quality, so calling it a "managed service" is somewhat like referring to "wet water."
Many service providers are dropping the superfluous word "managed" and replacing it with a wide variety of others in an effort to focus on their own specific value propositions. The increasing trend toward specialization has become more evident in the channel in recent years. Now it is becoming a survival strategy in which all channel partners need to invest time and careful planning.
When information technologies were fewer and more straightforward, channel partners could easily succeed as generalists. Customers turned to one "solution provider" for everything, from servers to storage to software to systems infrastructure. They integrated everything together for customers who enjoyed complete solution that incorporated the best of each category.
"Solution selling" was everyone's strategy—to solve business problems with technology. Over time, however, the definition of "solution" began to soften. Soon, the term came to mean "infrastructure." To solve any problem, you threw more infrastructure at it.
However, the customer's definition of "solution" was still something that solved their current business challenge. They wanted relevant solutions, highly specialized solutions.
Not only were customers less than satisfied with "infrastructure" solutions, but infrastructure itself has become a commoditized utility. Customers now know they don't need to invest in owning their own infrastructure. They can turn to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, IBM Softlayer or any of several other providers, and subscribe to whatever infrastructure services they require.
Better yet, these services are far more responsive than having their own fixed infrastructure. Need more storage, more memory or more processor capability? No problem. No months-long procurement process. Just adjust your subscription. If you use more resources, you pay for them. When you're done with them, you release them and stop paying for them. Easy.
This leaves tens of thousands of channel infrastructure partners with a dilemma: what to do for a living now that customers no longer need what they're selling.
Many have turned in their "M" and exchanged it for a "C," becoming cloud service providers (CSPs). These new-wave specialists are expert at making cloud services from various vendors interoperate seamlessly and productively. Customers appreciate having a resource who can help them select and combine the best possible services.
We've already seen the rise of print service providers, communication service providers, disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS) providers, desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) providers, integration platform-as-a-service (IPaaS) providers and many others.
Midmarket customers have long turned to service providers to help them level the playing field with larger corporations by enabling them with similar IT services that they could not produce themselves. This can be expected to continue with greater diversification.
Customized software development is changing. With the rise of microservices packaged in containers with all the resources they require, the new development process involves having these encapsulated routines call each other as needed. This makes it possible to "assemble" applications rather than "code" them from scratch. This promises to drop development costs to a level that midmarket companies can afford.

Effect Of Homeopathic Treatment Of 60 Japanese Patients With Chronic Skin Disease
We are now capable of deal with with substances which may restore the disharmony of the information methods which subtend the body's mobile function, proper right down to the extent of the DNA. These substances may include things like electromagnetic vitality, homeopathic treatments, mixture cures, and even bodily cures such as nutritional vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids. Dr. Hahnemann was most scornful of these practitioners of medicine who declared that each one the infinite variety of sufferings could possibly be lowered to some salient symptoms and meaningless general phrases, ignoring all the complexity of the individual's expression of illness.
Now think about you've already received those signs from an allergy or chilly – a tiny dose of onion (allium) can cut back and infrequently stop the signs. Sign up for our Health Tip of the Day e-newsletter, and obtain day by day suggestions that may allow you to reside your healthiest life. A go to with a homeopathic provider may final for an hour or more, compared with the transient visits with many alllopathic physicians. The opportunity to have somebody listen to concerns in an empathic manner cannot be understated. Homeopathy was developed by a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, in 1807.
"Law of minimum dose"—the notion that the lower the dose of the treatment, the greater its effectiveness. Many homeopathic merchandise are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain. As just lately as 2017, bryonia was demonstrated to have a toxic impact on two cancer strains — head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and cervix adenocarcinoma — in an in vitro examine. For this reason, many individuals take it to relieve joint ache, and as a general analgesic. You'll discover bryonia on the list of elements for several well-liked homeopathic arthritis formulation.
By meaningless common terms he included things like headache, backache, pains within the limbs, convulsions, etc. Classical homeopathy was developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in Germany more than 200 years in the past, although the discipline was based on ideas which were expressed in Chinese medicine and within the ancient world greater than 2,000 years ago. Homeopathy works by stimulating the physique's own pure healing capacity. The treatment triggers the body's personal therapeutic forces and so a treatment is prescribed on a really particular person basis. A homoeopath will notice physical, psychological and emotional symptoms, along with all of the elements that make the person really feel higher or worse.

Stramonium, derived from the herb Datura stramonium — also called Devil's snare — is intended to reduce aggressive or violent conduct, a common prevalence in children with ADHD or comorbid oppositional defiant dysfunction. Proponents also declare that it may be useful for children with submit-traumatic stress dysfunction, or different types of anxiety, in homeopathic doses. At high doses, however, stramonium can cause hallucinations, delirium, or, in rare cases, dying. Derived from a plant in the lily household, verta alb is used to "soothe the nerves," and is commonly used for youngsters with ADHD and comorbid nervousness. It has additionally been claimed to cut back the potential for mood tantrums in children who wrestle to regulate their emotions.

Build Advice Summer Clean-up
Discussion in 'Hardware' started by Wira, 14 Jul 2013.
Wira Spoderman
I've had my desktop sitting on my floor for two years now, and while I used to clean it fairly regularly, this has gotten less and less frequent, but now it's finally time for an upgrade
Bought a new case and an SSD, and it's going on the desk this time.
As I'm going to be pulling more or less everything apart anyway I'm going to thoroughly de-dust it before I put it back together. I've used pressurised air before and while it works, I hate how it just disperses the dust into your room (though I guess you could try doing it outside).
Any good tips on how to properly clean everything?
While cleaning the Hardware, I'm also going to clean up the software and I'm putting most of my files and programs on an external HDD, and then wiping my old HHD. I'm going to reinstall windows to the new SSD. It's my first SSD, is there anything I should be aware of before I just go ahead and install the OS on it?
Wira, 14 Jul 2013
GeorgeK Swinging the banhammer Super Moderator
As for cleaning an air duster would be best really - you could position a vacuum cleaner nearby to suck up the dust as it shoots up in the air maybe...
Are you going to be installing Windows 7 on the SSD? If so it does all the optimisation stuff you'd need - just make sure you're set up for AHCI in the bios

Never had a problem with it.

PocketDemon New Member
i know i've written this before, but it's been a while so...
As GeorgeK partially says, you need the controller to be set for either ahci or raid in the bios - & use the intel controller for it.
Right, it's then your call entirely, but, for maintaining speeds (& increasing longevity), it's worthwhile considering over provisioning (ie under partitioning) the SSD by at least 25% of the total nand capacity...
...so, for example, with a 240/250/256GB SSD, they all have 256GB of nand, so you'd format to 192GB.
This is the level that Anandtech have recently started recommending as a min - though i've been saying on here to aim for slightly more (~28%) for a couple of years or so.
Obviously though, the heavier the program-erase cycles your usage involves & the less idle time the drive has to recover, the more important this will be - & with very heavy (particularly non-sequential high QD) usage, you'd certainly want to consider going higher...
Then, from whatever you've got left over (whether you increase the OP or not), you ideally want to leave something approaching 20%+ of the formatted space unused - ~15% being a fairly hard minimum.
The only real exceptions to these would be if you were -
(a) using a second SSD solely for games (assuming you're not copying them on & off/installing & uninstalling them at a ridiculous rate)
(b) or are using a second SSD solely for some highly sequential purpose - ie hq a/v capture/editing
- in both cases since -
(i) the data from largely static &/or large files is not going to end up being spread across partial blocks to anything like the level it would when there's also small random writes taking place
(ii) & since the data would either (a) be relatively static for long periods of time or (b) be captured/copied on, have some function acted upon it that'll involve more sequential writes & then copied off/uploaded/burnt to disk/whatever, the drive won't need anything like the time to recover speed.
Though leaving a bit of the formatted space free (maybe 5%) would still be sensible.
Then, if, esp you're using Win7, it's worthwhile running the Windows Experience index thing, as it sets up a few things in the registry if it notes a SSD...
i haven't seen anything about whether its still of use or not with Win8 but, given that it's takes less time to run WEi than it takes me to go downstairs & make a coffee, i do it anyway.
& the only other things are to not deliberately hammer a SSD with unnecessary writes in situations where there is no gain from its speed...
(so, for example, using it as the temp drive for downloading via p2p wouldn't be the best idea since there can be a foolishly high no of actual writes - & a HDD is way faster than your internet connection)
...& that, whilst you 'could' store you iTune libraries & whatnot on there, HDDs are much faster than is needed for that kind of usage - & there's bound to be better stuff that you could use the SSD for; yes?
Oh, & i should have said to use the appropriate intel irst driver, not the default ones - installing them before running wei. They're just a bit quicker.

play_boy_2000 It was funny when I was 12
I find air compressors work best, just avoid doing it on a humid day. One client I do work for has an office right beside a concrete crushing operation, and I have to pull the server every 6 months for a de-dusting.

I had a mate used to use a hoover to clean his PC parts. What he didn't realise was that a plastic hoover tube with dust flying up it and rubbing against it will generate static.
Some good memory was lost that day

Derp. yeah I always take the PC apart first and tbh only really clean the fan fins.
back in the day when I lived at home used to use my dad's black and decker auto pump for compressed air. He has a racing bike and needed pump for over 6 bar, had to hold that sucker a bit away from the board so the bits don't fly off.... fun times.
pressurised air it is.
The SSD is going to be used solely for the OS and some more demanding games (quite static storage I'd say). So I suppose i'll just leave a smallish partition partitioned off.
Wira said: ↑
Simply for clarity, either the whole SSD is used for static data or, effectively, none of it is.
Well, imagining, hypothetically (i know you're not proposing to do this), after the OS, you filled the SSD's nand up to 80% with mp3s, anything you then wrote to the drive would initially be to the remaining 20%.
Now, if SSDs didn't wear level (ie automatically move data around from blocks with low write counts to those with higher ones), you'd then be looking at the lifespan being divided by a fifth as you'd be writing to that remaining 20% again & again...
...so, even though you may have data sat on there that remains completely unchanged for months/years, its physical location will not remain constant in a situation where you're writing & deleting more data to the SSD over time.
This is esp likely to be the case since you're only using 4GB of memory, & so are going to be writing far more temporary data to the pagefile (& swapfile with Win8) than you would if you had, for example, 8GB.
[NB it is not particularly sensible to move the page/swapfiles to be located on a HDD, as this will simply make your machine much slower. They're one of the best things to have on a SSD as a decent proportion of the writes will be sequential & there's bunches of small random reads - which is where SSDs particularly excel.]
Having said that, as said at the beginning then this is simply for clarity.
Assuming your usage is as stated, what you're suggesting (ie some extra OP & ~20% of the formatted capacity being unused on a day to day basis) does sound fairly reasonable imho.
