Merry Christmas everybody! To all friends here I wish a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous 2012!

Kari

Today, as almost every year, we had invited some friends and neighbors for cocktails at home by us, followed by a late Christmas lunch in a local restaurant. What I saw in that restaurant is why I am posting this:

Dear geeks & geekettes, nerds & nerdettes, especially the younger ones, let an older man explain something to you: You do not need to be rich or have a top education to have manners, to behave civilized. It's causing me almost physical pain to see how quite a big part of young people today seem to have absolutely no idea of good manners. Please remember, we nerds and geeks can also behave civilized, regardless of our background.

Here's some key points I noticed today:
- First, one of the most important rules: a gentleman never wears a hat when inside, no matter if it is a Stetson, a baseball cap, a Borsalino or a simple woolly hat. Young men sitting in a restaurant, eating, wearing a hat, it really is uncivilized. No matter if it is Waldorf Astoria or Mcdonalds or Starbucks or Four Seasons, the hat is taken away already when entering a restaurant or cafe or house or building. This rule has no exceptions. Wearing a hat inside is rude, ugly and shows you have no manners.

- No matter how proud you are about your tattoo or piercing, it is no excuse to wear sleeveless t-shirt or one that leaves your belly naked or exposes half of your butt during the winter season, especially when it is one of the most important holidays and other people are dressing nice to occasion. You can brag of the results of your self-mutilation again on beach next summer.

- However fine headset your MP3 player has, it goes off when you are having a dinner with friends and family. Otherwise you show disrespect towards others.

- If you forgot your headset home, it does not mean you can listen your favorite music from your handheld device's speakers, not even to show the people how cool music you have.

- Same with mobile phone: it goes off or at least silent when gathering together for dinner. Also no texting or mobile surfing. Only exceptions are if you are on duty, that you need to be available because of your job or waiting a "life or dead" call. But, also in this case you do never take a call when sitting at the table; instead you excuse yourself politely and go where your call does not disturb others or cause unnecessary attention.

- You do not smoke when others are still eating. Especially in a non-smoking establishment, as I saw today

- Fork, knife and spoon are meant to be used as tools to get food from your plate to your mouth. Your fingers are not for this use. Exceptions exists, if you do not know those exceptions ask others in your company "Is this meant to be eaten with fingers?".

- Restaurants are in general not meant to be used for foreplay. Wait until you are back home or at least back in your car.

Basically I could rant a few pages but I think this was enough for now...

Other than that, we really had a nice day with friends. I especially enjoyed, once again, to see how beautiful my Angie is! I'm the proudest man on Earth standing next to her

I read somewhere that Germans and British were the most civilized humans on earth. Specially, they are well mannered when it comes to eating food.

Kari, whatever you wrote is quite noticeable almost every where on earth. Here in India, we're keen on adopting the "western culture" and keep forgetting the basic manners which separates us from animals.

...And we pride ourselves in calling us "humans".

P.S.: The current generation is so rude and arrogant.

Fine dining to some is MickeyD's, BK Whopper City, Pizza Hut and KFC.
Eating utensils are not an option so how do you expect the young ones to learn the intricacies of utensil manipulation?
They most likely would harm themselves or others.

Surely you do not expect the parents to have taught them good manners.

Today I surprised one of my best virtual friends, Hopalong X(Mike) by calling him at his home and wishing him and Eileen a
Merry Christmas.
It was great turning PM and e-mails into voices. Mike sounds just as grumpy as some of his posts. hehehehe
Just kidding of course as it was nice to chat with him.

We shared phone numbers just in case we don't see or hear from them for any length of time. Wish I had a few more numbers(friends) to do this with but understand the reasons we should be careful doing this.

So to all my VIRTUAL FRIENDS OUT THERE.......Have a Great Day and enjoy the moments you are sharing with your loved ones.

Dennis

Hopalong X

Thanks Dennis.
A Christmas surprise but a very welcome one.

Mike and Eileen.

Just take the video's code, last part of the url, and add it between Vimeo tags. In this case the url was http://vimeo.com/22566556, so you need to add [vimeo]22566556[/vimeo] to your post to embed video.

FredeGail

Yeah I saw your edit.

How do you like the video anyway?

Kari

Very informative, important subject. I happened to know the Charity: Water organization already before seeing this video, although I have to be honest and say I have never donated to them.

Maybe in the near future?

You wanna talk about it? How bad you get hurt?

The Howling Wolves

Quote�� Quote: Originally Posted by gregrocker View Post

Greg,
I asked the same question on Vista Forum and MWRed responded with this.


I have a problem with my right side sacroiliac joint.
Apparently there's not much that can be done about it at this point, until it gets so bad that I need some serious help.
I have a crooked pelvis, which from what I gather, is from issues with my hip, knee and ankle. I destroyed everything that holds my ankle together besides the bone. Was told that it would have been better if I had broke it, then they could have put it in a cast. They couldn't do anything, other than let the ligaments and tendons all reproduce/repair themselves. It didn't heal right, and I am always accidentally rolling and turning over my foot...sooner or later, i'm not going to catch myself in time, and i'm going to end up breaking it.

Kinda funny how I originally hurt my ankle.
Me, my boy, his mom, and her sister and kids were out sledding(this was roughly 12 years ago), and I jumped on a sled( round, disc shaped thing, a little too small for me to be on really) and sat on it, crossing my legs and holding on the sides. At the bottom of the hill is literally a small bump, so when you get to it, you "get a little air". I got air alright, and my foot slipped off the front of the sled, I landed on it, and it went under me and the sled. Take my word for it....it hurt.
A wrap, and "there's nothing we can do for it" was all they said, but they offered me a crutch, which I kindly told them where they could put it. I was mad.

My knees on the other hand got hurt on my first (AND LAST) time skiing. The breakaway ski's (supposed to breakaway from the boots if you wipe out) didn't breakaway.

the hip problem is actually with both hips, but mostly in one, and I have no idea why that started. I noticed it when I was about 22. it just slowly gets worse and worse, sometimes to the point to where, the way it feels, the ball of my hip will get stuck, feeling like it's almost dislocated.

Dinesh

That's a terrible situation.

Have you seen a physical therapist?

First thing I look for is what country he's in, to see if he's covered regardless. People are left without care by the millions in the US.

Before you go on your befriending spree, always remember that a friend in need is a pain in the butt!

Today, I've been very good. I've helped with the weekly shopping without whingeing once.

It's amazing what the offer of a holiday in Florida will do!!

We must be on the same wave length...I asked or told him to see or find a

I'm still kicking over here. had an easy day at work. It has gotten better, like all the other times, it will disappear by the weekend, until It decides to come back sometime later. Probably during the summer.

Last summer when it was bad, I actually couldn't hardly cast my fishing pole. Trying to keep my balance in a boat was challenging.
Pain can't keep me away from fishing.

2001: A Space Odyssey is such a classic. Read the books, saw the movie (+ 2010) and it's just such an amazing piece of art. It's all a mind-explosion to understand the movies.

Hello, Forum..

Today is my last vacation day.. Well, i didn't take vacations at all, i was working 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.. Tomorrow i'll be taking my semester classes like i usually do, plus 4 hours a day, 6 days a week in my job.. I'm starting to realize how hard it's to study and work at the same time, i don't have time to be with my family, party, skate, or just sit around and do nothing.. i'm usually tired as hell.. Yesterday i skipped a party to work on a friend's laptops, ipod touch and blackberry.. it took me until 4:00am to finish the whole enchilada..

I want some vacations but i can't, i need the money to live and to pay for University, like i've seen on some threads: "Reality hits you hard, Bro"

Sometimes i just want to drop everything for a few months, but then i start to think about my career, i want to graduate, i want to go to Italy to visit my family (that's why i'm working, too..), but it's hard.. really hard..

I guess i just said everything i needed to get out of my system...

Cheers, Forum! Love you all..

LADYPINKtomato1

Punkster.. Good for you.. your hard work is paying off right now. keep at it !!!!
You cannot stop now.. you have invested way too much to even give it more than a thought,
if you really want to have what's out in front of you right now.. just hang in there.
This is the place to come and let it all out.. we have listening ears.. to help you along..
I think I can say .. all of this group supports you in what you're doing.
When you have all those classes well behind you.. then you'll look back and be very proud of what you've accomplished.
I know it gets old and tiring.

You are getting an education alright. 2 of them. For most life is like that, work taking up your time. It's good you are earning, but don't forget your education should come 1st. It will increase your earnings over your lifetime as well. A Guy

I've done something ..NEW...this afternoon.. lol
I've added more ram to my pc, I watched a video on how to do this, sent to me by a member here, followed it to a " T "
I had to give it a go a second time.. I didn't have something just right so started all over.
2nd time.. after booting up... I clicked my Computer. ( I saw more ram listed )

It was when we saved your XP installation in a marathan thread that started here and was moved. It ended with this post which I wasn't ever sure you had seen or needed. Glad it helped:

What's most important is to touch the case while touching the electronic parts so you're grounded, and don't work on carpet.

While in the case check your HD to see if you have WD or Seagate so you can use their superior free Acronis True Image backup imaging programs linked above - the Manual is on the Downloads pages, look for Backup Imaging in Contents.

If not use free Macrium from the tutorial link also above. Paragon 11 freeware is also good.

Save the backup image to the external. Make the boot disk so you have a rescue method if XP stops booting again and is irreparable. Just boot the disk and Restore from image in 20 minutes.

lemons
ginger
honey

squeeze the lemon into a large mug ,removing the pips.
Peel then finely grate a chunk of ginger into the mug
fill mug with boiling water
add a dolop of honey to taste
infuse until brewed then drink.

the lemon will give you vitamin c which will help battle the cold you have
the ginger will soothe your throat and ease any soreness
the honey makes the lemon bareable .

I've been very busy lately. Starting of December, my company hired 16 new people for tech support dept. They were given a months's training and starting of this month, they were graduated on the floor to take calls. I, along with 2 other senior agents were chosen as the mentors for this new group. So I don't have to take calls anymore but to look after them and answer their queries. Then in the last 3 hrs, we've to train them with various devices like iPhone, wifi routers, etc. and once they leave for the day, I've to make reports about their progress for each day. Hence these 2 months are going to be very hectic for me. But at least I've climbed the 1St ladder for my promotion.

Feeling a little bit pleased with myself.....managed to crack the Windows 7/Linux dual boot - the secret is to use the GRUB2 option in the EasyBCD program......EasyBCD is a really nice program : keeps the Windows MBR and GRUB bootoaders nice and separate so its easy to revert if I need to. Mint12 is so much better than Ubuntu...it will even let me use dual monitors

Next challenge for me is to overcome the the Windows 7/Windows 8 dual boot gremlins that plagued me earlier....................

Don't feel sad.

After 200+ years we Americans are still trying to understand English.

I knew he meant temperature only because I know A Guy is about my age.

Hehe I've just had one of those phone calls from a very nice gentleman in India telling me that I have all these files on my computer that are bad for it and he can help me take care of it.
He got fed up in the end because I wouldn't press the keys he told me to and he cut me off, how rude.

It's the first time I've had one of those type of calls, I thought it was quite amusing, at the beginning when he told me to go to my desktop he wanted to know if I had a black screen, I said no Facebook so he again told me to press Ctrl and the Windows key. Everytime I asked him what would happen if I pressed the keys he'd just start at the beginning again and tell me I had all these nasties on my computer, didn't make any difference when I told him that I didn't.

mickey megabyte

what was ctrl-windows key meant to do? prove you had nasties?

ctrl-windows-tab is pretty cool, but i don't know about just ctrl-win...

I've no idea, he could have been saying to add some other key along with that but I couldn't understand him that well and wasn't taking that much notice of him.

Joan, if that guy called you without any invitation, take it as a fun.

One day somebody called me to make me know that I have won a precious prize on a random lottery based on phone numbers. I told the caller that I am gifting him that prize. He may do whatever he want to do with it but calling me again

After that, I never won a single lottery based on phone numbers

i'm surprised your cats didn't find it?

but sometimes cats bring you presents - maybe this was a gift to you?

in the past, my cats have bought me a weasel (see picture - not the one my cat had), and a bat! luckily both the weasel and bat were still alive and in good condition so i could set them free.

Nice Sunday today with Angie and Mutti (mother-in-law). As quite often, we drove about 55 kilometers or 30 miles outside Leipzig, to restaurant F�hrhaus in Pretzsch (F�hrhaus = ferry house). We like the place, the ambient and the owner.

(Location on Google Maps)

Herr Schneider (Herr = Mr.), the owner, is a model railroad enthusiast. Each year week before Christmas he sets up a miniature railroad in his restaurant, letting it stay there until mid January. Our visit today was because he called yesterday, telling that "the last trains are running this weekend", then again next Christmas.

This years railroad was rather small, however as entertaining as ever. I'm no photographer so excuse me the quality of the video. Owner himself seeing in controls, Angie and Mutti occasionally on the right:



Some pics from F�hrhaus, in and out:

-20120115-150258c.jpg
-20120115_003.jpg -20120115_005.jpg -20120115_006.jpg -20120115_024.jpg -20120115_027.jpg -20120115_028.jpg -20120115_029.jpg -20120115_001.jpg -20120115_002.jpg -20120115_032.jpg -20120115_031.jpg -20120115_038.jpg -20120115_033.jpg

The restaurant is by Elbe, one of the biggest European rivers. Each year Elbe suffers of flooding, this year the flood season has already started, earlier than usual, because of the warm winter. Snow is melting on Alps and filling other rivers with fresh water which then finds its way to Elbe.

Again, please excuse my photographic skills And, of course, my English that seems to be rather bad after a few afternoon whiskies...



Here's a picture hanging on the wall of the restaurant, showing the owner by his door when the floodwater was highest in summer 2010:

thanks Kari,

interesting to see the Elbe again - i was in hamburg for a few days just before xmas - i really wanted to go on an elbe boat trip, but the weather was too grey and wet

very nice hotel indeed, and great street markets - plenty of gl�hwein and j�germeister were consumed!

Today was probably the most relaxed day of my life. I just took an hour or so to think about what's been going on in my life. It really helped actually, with all the stress coming from my mom's arrest and my parent's separation, it was good to think about the positive things. Great friends, my HSPT scores being so good, and the continuous A's I've been getting in most of my classes. I didn't think I would get much out of just thinking, but it has been the most relaxed day I have had in a while.

Skater hi.. It's always very good to reflect on ones life.. quite often .. it moves us forward in the right direction.. glad you've enjoyed your day.

Sorry to hear that but if it will be easier on you then I hope it will improve your quality of living.

If they won't let you use the ISP we will come and do things we can't say on the forum to get you up and running.

Just let them know that a lot of peoples computers need your assistance so you need the Internet.

Tom I'm guessing you will do fine there as long as they DO have ISP , for you to stay connected with your friend.
If not, pester them until they get it installed.

I got my laugh today reading an online newspaper from back home, Finland. Iltalehti.fi is the online version of one of the biggest national afternoon papers in Finland, a site I visit several times a day. The site has about 250 to 300K daily visits.

Last weekend there was a minor scandal when an online vote for a national TV's talent shows got an extreme amount of votes alltogether, most of them given for a candidate that really did not deserve them. This scandal being a big issue in my small, native Finland (5.3M inhabitants in whole country), all media has covered this since Sunday. Above mentioned newspaper opened yesterday an online poll, asking a simple question: "Do you trust online voting?"

This just now:

Name:  Capture.PNG  Views: 62  Size:  7.6 KB

Simply, in Finnish it says that in the first 24 hours of this poll, over 1.2M visitors have voted, all 100% of them "Yes, I trust in online voting".

1.2M votes, on a site that has max 300K daily visitors, in a country with less than half of inhabitants of New York City.

Made me really laugh

[UPDATE]

My PT thought it would be a good idea to check out the local ALP's in the area to see if they were suitable for me ... unannounced ... ninja style! It was a horrible experience! We rolled in to a filthy, run down building and sat in the lobby ( in clear view of the "receptionist" and after 25 minutes, Nurse Cratchet tartly asked if there was anything she could help us with. My therapist identified himself as a representative of the VA, and you would have thought the *itch was slapped with a major attitude adjustment! We were immediately ushered into the administrators office and after an exhausting 10 minute interview it was decided that this was most definitely not what I needed, or wanted.

Larry (my therapist) was so embarrassed and told me this was supposed to be one of the better ones in the Tampa/St. Pete area. I told him if this was case, I'd just as soon stay where I currently live ... with Sam of course!

Sorry to hear about your ALP experience yesterday. Need to check in with friends who will recommend another place.
I am finding the same problem with Care Provider's.
The Agencies want an arm and leg for their services and pay their staff minimum salary. Thus the quality is way below my standard of care so I will end up doing it myself.

Had a nice surprise earlier, went into Facebook and there was a notification from Carl accepting my friendship request, and I can't even remember how long ago that was sent so it must have been a good while ago.

Point is he is obviously getting back into things, I did send him a message telling him it would be nice to see him back here as we missed him, don't know if he will be back but it was nice to know that he's still around.

Today, and every few days, the pest control thingy sprayed that smoke that supposedly kills dengue-carrying mosquitos....

And those every few days, i get really bad because i'm allergic to that spray.. my throat practically closes so i can't breath, then i have to puke..

This has been happening since i was 4yrs old and apparently the spray doesn't work 'cause i've had Dengue 4 times in my life.. what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger..

If i'm not making any sense right now, please understand, i'm still having the spray effects

TODAY, i finally got my GTX 560 Ti i'm sooooo happy

Came with a free 10ft PNY active HDMI-to-MiniHDMI cable...

I'll be installing it tomorrow (or maybe sunday, who knows?) i'm going to unbox the whole thing... stay tuned on the "Show us your rig" thread for the full build (new case too )

Love you all

EDIT: i've unboxed it, it's not exactly the one listed in Amazon! but i like it the one that Amazon had, had a central fan, this one is not.. but still.. now, would that change a lot of the cooling?

mickey megabyte

enjoy your new toy, Punkster!

Today or rather yesterday i got my laptop back from repair center.I feel so relaxed and happy.Thankfully only dust has accumulated on my fan and cleaning & maintenance solved the problem.

Today, my grandson has been notified that in view of his "positive start" his probationary period at Williams F1 has been curtailed in favour of a permanent contract of employment, and he's also been signed up for an excellent company pension scheme and private health care.

He's now busy helping to construct and tune the Williams cars for the first F1 meeting of the new season in Melbourne, Australia in March this year.

That's excellent news! Congrats to him.

Apple didn't fall to far from the tree.

Guest

No, it didn't Dennis.

Thank you, both of you.

It just does my old heart proud to see the young lad making something of himself.

No airs and graces, just puts his head down and learns as much as he can.

Guest

seavixen Congrats to you and your granson , nothing makes a family more proud than to see their offspring are following in good footsteps .. a great example is the best for our youth.. it's paying off now.

Guest

Thanks LadyPink, it is a dream come true for him, but he's found out there's no substitute for hard work. As they say, the harder you work, the luckier you get.

LADYPINKtomato1

TRUE !!!!.. sounds like he's a true hard worker , "easy come , easy go".. my family always said.

I'm so pleased to hear that, it just shows that hard work and a positive attitude pay off.

My best wishes to him and hope his good fortune continues, any chance he'll be in the pit lane at the race, not that I'll see him because of the greed of some people BBC don't have all the races now and I don't have Sky Sports so the seasons going to be a bit lean.

Kari

Thanks Joan.

He hasn't been able to find out who will be going yet, but I've no doubt the more experienced race technicians will be chosen first. Matt is only 20 so he's got time on his side.

I don't have Sky as it's got too expensive.

Perhaps we'll see the highlights of the race on terrestrial TV

JaidynM

Pleased to hear about your grandson, Seavixen! I'm only sorry he's not working for this season's World Champion-to-be Kimi R�ikk�nen and his team Lotus-Renault

Thanks Kari.

As much as I admire your confidence in Kimi, I think Sebastien Vettel will be the man to beat once again.

Came back from Sydney last night. We had a great time, did a lot of sightseeing in those two days as well as climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I hate heights but I did it anyway and it was amazing!

that was a good walk - 10 miles in two hours. it must be nice being young!

looks like a useful little app and i could do with losing some weight, but don't fancy anything too strenuous, walking seems like a decent pace - downloading now!

*edit* downloaded it and it told me not to use it and i should use noom weight loss coach instead.

i'll have to have a closer look tomorrow - just gone 1am

good night all

Guest

Well yes MM, that's pretty good app.

It'd have been more beautiful if my wife had a week off too. Nevertheless, I will enjoy browsing the internet and playing Counter Strike with some beers and chicken tikka in the evening

Have a Nice Day Folks!!

Nice one, Boshko! Do you use Wi-Fi much?

StalkeR

Thanks guys. I don't use WiFi so much. I bough that mostly for my mobile. Sometimes my pc is busy from my bro, and I need internet, so I'll use my phone.

JaidynM

Ah, right. I don't use Wi-Fi much either. PC's are so much easier to use than mobile devices.

We have one cable line into the house, and the computer in that room is connected to it, but the four other computers in the house, and the two iPod Touches, and my Samsung Galaxy that is coming this week, all run on wifi.
