transfering videos from camcorder DCR HC-38E to computer using 4 pin to usb i link cable?
i installed the software of sony handycam DCR-HC38E into computer. then i fixed the i-link cable into the 4-pin jack of camcorder and 4 pin usb jack of the computer. the computer shows usb device not recognized. also the computer didnot find the handicam. tell me how can i transfer videos from camcorder to computer
Paul R is correct - one additional item:
Your computer must have a firewire port. Using a 4-pin-firewire-to-USB converter cable will not work. You must connect the camcorder's DV port to the computer's firewire port. No USB anywhere in this connection.
Firewire, i.LINK, IEEE1394 are all the same thing. They are not USB - USB cannot handle the streaming the is required for high quality DV format video from that miniDV tape based camcorder.
Since you did not tell us which computer, we have no way to know if it has an available expansion slot so you can add a firewire port... or if it already has a firewire (or 1394) port.

Goal Setting Advantage - Legend or Logic? Part 4 of 4
Copyright (c) 2008 GainMore Advantage
In the first three parts of this series we have looked at goal setting, the process and the real research behind this to find out what makes a difference.
It seems that there is considerable support for the idea of SMART goals, yet there are still some issues with what the goal is. Is it an outcome or about performance?
Outcome goals - some issues
The problem facing many people with regard to 'Outcome' goals is that there is an element that is outside the power of the individual. An example of the potential issues with an 'outcome' goal comes from a rather sad testimony from one particular research participant:
"My goal was to have $3 million in the bank for my retirement by age 55. I achieved my goal with great satisfaction early at age 43. Unfortunately my bank was at the centre of a fraud and went under. 16 years later, I am still working and slowly rebuilding my goal. So, goals are important and we need to know what we want to achieve in life - just choose a goal only including yourself and don't leave all of it in one place."
Outcome goals are most often subject to others and to the environment. The greater the attainability of a goal through yourself only - I.e. Your own performance - the more you are in control of goal achievement.
Goals that have a high dependence on others and/or external circumstances are considerably more difficult to influence. As an extreme example, one survey participant has goal to win the lottery! Now there are certain things that you can do to increase the likelihood of this becoming reality, buying tickets is a useful component, but how many? Interestingly, another participant who had a 'money' goal did indeed achieve their goal - through winning the lottery! Though that wasn't the original plan and they rated themselves 'somewhat satisfied' in having completely achieved their goal. Whilst touching on monetary goals, another participant reminds us that being specific about your goal is important:
"My goal was to be a millionaire by 35... I achieved it the moment I stepped away from the foreign exchange counter at Jakarta airport!"
Following up with our survey participants revealed commonality in the way they went about setting goals and their subsequent actions to achieve their goals. We've already seen how those with the greatest success in terms of personal wealth had SMART goals. This isn't to say that success can only be measured by means of personal wealth at all - the original intention was simply to test the mythical Yale Study results. And, of course, someone could have set themselves a perfectly good SMART goal - but due to their own environment, had not accumulated as much personal wealth in terms of a standard currency - indeed, a person could have less in terms of monetary wealth yet be considerably better off in terms of the value they can obtain from less money.
Performance goals
An interesting aspect that began to show itself through the results was personal satisfaction in goal achievement.
People who set 'Ability' type goals, or 'Performance' goals reported to be 'very satisfied' with their achievements - whether completely achieved goals or not yet complete.
In part, this suggests the importance of personal values and suggests a question about the process by which they set goals. Through a random selection of fifty respondents we found that there is some commonality in the manner in which goals are set:
When we compare the groups of 'Very Satisfied' with their achievement and 'Satisfied' or 'Somewhat Satisfied' with their achievement. The first group were more likely to have SMART goals. The goal is described in sensory terms - what will be seen, heard and felt, and for a small number, smelt and tasted. Respondents were clear about what achieving the goal will do positively for them and the cost to themselves (and others) of achieving their goal. Their goal, they considered personally stretching yet 'knew' that they were capable of achieving it themselves.
More than 60% stated their goal in the present tense - 'I am' rather than 'I will be'. This provides a template for a useful goal-setting process that we've turned into an easy-to-remember acronym: SWING.
Goal setting process
1. A SMART and Sensory performance goal.
2. What will I positively Win and lose.
3. Am I In control of achieving this goal?
4. Stated as Now.
5. Guarantee - this is an added psychological process to ensure personal motivation towards achieving the goal.
Final thoughts
From our survey, those individuals who set performance goals using slight variations of this process represent a small, though statistically significant fraction of the sample that have a net higher annualised personal wealth accumulation (2.15 times) and are more satisfied than individuals who use only one or two aspects of this process. It is not the writing down of the goal that makes the difference, it seems to be the emphasis on performance or ability and the process of thinking through the goal.
And for those of you, like me, who just didn't get round to setting goals way back and worry that you might have missed out - well you can't go back and revise history, but you can create a new one now.

Why is President Obama so worried about the television set rather then his job performance/task at hand?
Is he that big of an idiot, that incompetent or worried Smart "Normal" Red Blooded Americans will see him for the fool marxist he really is and put an end to the madness? You tell me......
Man, did you ever pull a few idiots out of the closet. I really liked their pics, that should tell ya something. But those are the very ones who put him in office. Blacks only make up 18% of the population, so it was not just them. There are all kinds of sites sprouting up on the net against Obama. Personally I love it. This man (& his wife) are the most racist people I have ever seen. But then again, blacks are much more racist than whites ever were. Obama is very dangerous and if folks don't wake up quick it will be way too late for this country. I just keep hoping he is a one term-er. My philosophy is not to reelect anyone in 2010. I'm a big fan of Thomas Jefferson, a Founding Father, Writer of the Declaration of Independence, 3rd President of the United States. 200 years ago he knew what was in store for this country if we did not pay heed to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people there is liberty."
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive."
"A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government and what no just government should refuse, or rest on influence."
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
"Experience hath shewn that even under the best of forums of government those entrusted with power have, in time and by slow operations perverted it into tyranny."
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Thomas Jefferson

Set Oxygen
In the preparation of oxygen, why the stoppered test tube be set upward?
Assuming you are using potassium chlorate or pot chlorate and manganese dioxide. The simple answer is that if you set the tube downwards, the reactants may melt or fall and block the exit delivery tube. Gas would build up unable to excape and there could be an explosion. The other reason is that hot potassium chlorate will set fire to almost anything that is combustiable and the cork or bung in the tube will catch fire! Then you don't get oxygen!

Celtics fans what do you think of the team's recent struggles? are they a one hit wonder like 06 miami heat?
so celtics fans why do you think they're struggling?
what do you think triggered this collapse?
any roster changes needed? what players are the weakest link right now? do you think the christmas day loss had something to do wtih the recent funk?
My dear friend, Steve....
Well..all of "the above" apply in one way -or- another....and Steve...let's see it realistically....In sports it's like in "every-day-life"...we all struggle "now & then"....we all face good & bad times....Look at each & every branch of business...from "Wall Street" to the "unemployment-lines"...we all have our "ups & downs" ...here & there...so do the Celtics struggle momentarily...But...as you know....after a "down-phase" (or collapse, as you called it), it can only go "up" again ! smile !
Wishing you lots of enjoyment throughout the season with plenty of excitement...I'm sure...Greetings from abroad with all my love & care...your friend....Annette***

Hobbyist Storage
Hobbyist Storage
Photo Storage Devices As New Photo Ambum
In the past, people used photo albums to store photographs in and this served people well for many years. These were portable devices that could be displayed on coffee tables and shared with many people that visited. The opportunities for sharing photos have dramatically changed over the years and they will probably expand even further if electronic wizards have anything to say about it.
Some of the devices that people choose to store photographs in are memory cards, personal computers and on the internet at many of the new photograph storage facilities. People lean toward the latter because the storage services that are offered are free of charge and are just as convenient to use as the other devices that store photo images just as well.
Some people prefer to use the memory cards for storage of the photos because these cards were made to fit into the cameras that the person owns. These electronic photograph storage devices are very portable too because they are small enough to fit in the palm or in the pocket of any outfit that the photo enthusiast has on that day. The photographs on the memory cards can be transferred to many places or left on the memory card until there is no memory left for further storage.
Many digital cameras are equipped with ports that allow photos to be transferred onto many devices or they can be printed out on a home printer. These photo printers will usually come with software that allows the photo hobbyist to transfer images from the digital camera into a printer memory bank and in most cases the printer will store the images in photo storage facilities that are pre-loaded onto the home computer system.
The digital camera can also be used as a photo or video storage facility but the memory in the camera will be used up very quickly if some of those images are not transferred to some other form of digital media. The photos are usually stored with a file extension that ends with .jpg and this file extension makes these photos candidates for storage on computers or attaching them in emails.
Some people will use the email systems to store photos because the storage limits on many websites is very limited and some require a small fee per month to store photos on the sites. This charge is for the amount of space that is used on the servers that they use for other things online like games and music stations. Some people do not mind paying these fees because they know that the photos they cherish will be safe.

There was a colony with one condition, they were never to extract venom from hobbyists, foragers, or producers. But one person couldn't resist. That person saw a forager and decided to emerge from a storage room. They insterted the nectar into the forager's shoulder framesa, but the forager couldn't react.... for he was already dead.

Why rearch is vital when having a hair transplant procedure
My story begins with an account of my very poor hair transplant procedures i had with a very famous UK hair clinic.
When i was 22 young and naive i had my first hair transplant at my local ht clinic in West Yorkshire.
In around the year 1997 i came across an advert in a mens magazine for this clinic, and decided after reading this that the place sounded fantastic. It claimed to be state of the art with experienced surgeons from all around the world, they claimed to be leaders in the field of hair restoration and said that they left other clinics behind. Wow i thought ill have to have a consultation because at this point in time i was struggling to cope with my hair loss, i was only 22 and felt like my whole world was coming to an end and that no one could possibly love me with a bald head. So i telephoned them and arranged a consultation.for the following week.
I arrived for my consultation and was shocked to find that this place was not a state of the art clinic but just three rooms at the rear of an NHS doctors surgery. I was shown into a small room and was told to sit down, a gentlemen told me to remove my hat and looked at my hair( which to be honest was thinning a little but looking back it wasn't actually that bad at this stage). It was obvious i was loosing my hair but i still had plenty left, the man said he could help me and said that i was a perfect candidate for a hair transplant he also said that i would soon have a perfect head of hair again.
I was delighted i asked how much this procedure would cost. He replied that because i would need around 1500 grafts throughout my hair to thicken it back up it would be three thousand five hundred pounds. He then said in a rather pushy tone we are very busy so do you want it or what?. I was a bit taken aback by this but the thoughts of a perfect head of hair were ringing in my ear so i agreed. He then said he would need a deposit of one thousand five hundred by the end of the week and said he would book me in for the surgery the following week and i had to pay the balance then.
That was it there was no mention of any side effects, no mention of any risks, no mention of aftercare, no mention of the surgeons competence or qualifications, experience etc and certainly no mention of a hideous scar to the back of my head.
The whole consultation was over in about 5 minutes, and because i was only 22 young and naive i just thought this was normal and i was very excited. When the day of the surgery arrived i was asked straight away as soon as i sat down for the money, the man then counted it in front of me he looked in a terrible mood. As soon as he had finished counting though he looked up and smiled and escorted me into a small room where a young lady washed my hair, i was then told to sit on a chair in another room that looked like a dental surgery.
I was then asked to sign a consent form and was told not to worry, i was then given an injection in my finger to numb my head and was told to relax and that my head would be numb in no time. The surgeon then came in and started to remove hair from the rear of my head to be placed on the top of my head later, this took about five minutes and didn't hurt at all due to the anesthetic.
He then started inserting the grafts into the top of my head and let me tell you this was the worst pain i have ever had in my life. It started out as just an uncomfortable pain, but after an hour or so it was absolutely excruciating i told the Dr it was really painful, but he just laughed and said it wont be long and told me to think about all the hair i would have. I had no choice but to grin and bear it, it was awful and throughout the five hour operation blood just kept on running down my face and neck it was terrifying but he just kept saying don't panic its normal you`ve just got a sensitive scalp.
When the operation was over i was told i had to get up and go sit in a waiting room for a couple of minutes, to my surprise the doctor then said goodbye and went home leaving me on my own with two female assistants. They told me that my stitches would dissolve on their own in a few weeks and gave me some co codamol for the pain, at this point i didn't even know i had any stitches. They also gave me a letter with aftercare instructions on it which was about half a page long and consisted of washing instructions etc. After about 10 minutes they opened the back door and said goodbye leaving me to drive home dis- orientated and 10 minutes after a five hour operation.
Over the next few weeks i struggled with the pain but i was excited and couldn't wait for my new hair to grow. My head looked very sore and was covered in scabs with little hairs popping out. I was told before the surgery that i was paying for 1500 grafts but to be honest i think i only received about 250 and over the next six months this was confirmed as only a small number of hairs appeared on my head, and i might add they looked very unnatural a bit like dolls hair. The most concerning thing though to me was that i suffered something called shock loss which i have now found out is common but i was not forewarned or told anything about this prior to my surgery.
Shock loss is where the rest of your normal original hair becomes shocked by the new transplants that are placed next to them and fall out leaving you with only the transplanted hairs left this is usually only temporary but in my case was permanent. So in effect i had payed three thousand five hundred pounds for 1500 new hairs, received around 250 new hairs and lost hundreds of old hair. So i was much worse off after the surgery than before i even had the operation( and a lot poorer too). I was now in a situation where i could not even go outside without wearing a hat and i had no choice but to get another hair transplant to add some more hair to my head because i only had about 250 hairs on the top of my head and my confidence was shattered so i began to save up for round two.
In the year 2000 god knows why i returned to the clinic for another consultation they then said i need another 1500 grafts, but because i had been before they said it would only cost one thousand five hundred pounds. They also advised me to take finesteride and said they would give me a twelve months supply for nothing in with the price of the surgery, they told me it would stop any further hair loss and gave me enough tablets to last six months and said i had to come back for the rest when i ran out. I contacted them when i did run out and they refused to give me any.
I had my second surgery later that week which was much the same as the first except this one wasn't painful which just proves that the first operations anesthetic wasn't administered correctly.
Over the next few months though i experienced terrible headaches on a daily basis, not at all like the first transplant and these headaches didn't start to ease until around 8 months after the procedure. At the same time as the headaches i had feelings of numbness to the back of my head which took months to ease, but even to this day i still have a numb part at the rear off my head on the right which i'm told is probably nerve damage. The growth rate was much the same as the first op and now after paying for 3000 hairs at a cost of five thousand pounds i have around 500.
From the year 2000 i have suffered from bouts of mental health problems i.e depression anxiety, panic attacks which have been so serious ive been admitted to hospital, ive had bouts of agoraphobia and have been on numerous types of anti depressants which i am still taking to this day all because off the treatment and results of this clinic. I have also go two seven cm's scars to the back of my head which prevent me from shaving my head and look so ugly i have to keep them covered.
After the surgeon got struck off i took a small amount of comfort in the fact that the clinic would be closed.but after reading the hair loss forums on the net i have to my horror found that they are still around and have many dis satisfied patients they sound like they are the same as ever there are loads and loads of posts on from patients that are about how people have been disfigured, and ripped off by the Norton clinic and their surgeons and unscrupulous salesmen .
Please please if you are thinking of going to this clinic BEWARE, ask to meet former patients and ask loads of questions because if they are the same as when i went you could potentially be making the biggest mistake of your life, take heed from someone who knows from first hand experience
Before having a ht do some research and check out the many different surgeons on all the hair forums a good starting point would be www.hairtransplantexperiences forum, and please don't let travel be the deciding factor because the results good or bad will last a lifetime. Have a look at Doctors websites and have a look at all the negative comments on the Internet simply google the hair clinics name and u will find info
The next section describes an appeal that was set up on a hair loss forum called hairtransplantexperiences.com(formally PB hair) to raise money to help fix my horrible predicament the appeal was called Project Bullitnut.
I am a valued member on all forums giving advice, i always try my best to help people make an educated decision regarding transplants, my goal is to prevent people making the same mistakes as i did and to ensure that they wont regret their ht for years to come like i did with my clinic.
PB and BIGMAC bless their hearts decided to help me by starting a REPAIR BULLITNUT campaign.
They did this off their own backs (as they knew how my situation was destroying my life) with the intention of raising money and encouraging hair transplant clinics to get involved. Which fortunately for me happened very quickly as SHAPIRO MEDICAL GROUP offered almost immediately to do my repair surgery pro which i am absolutely over the moon about and unbelievably grateful. As ive already said i regard them as being world class and one of the very best there is so to get this offer is like a dream come true for me.
PB and BIGMAC set up a pay pal account for donations towards the travel expenses etc and i received lots of donations including:-
1. The hotel paying for by fellow forum member TIM UK
2. The flights for my first trip paying for by another forum member called TUBS
3. The meals on the day were also payed for by a member called NERVOUS NELLY
4. The flights for my second trip were also payed for by SPENCER KOBREN the author and radio host of the bald truth www.thebaldtruth.com/
I also received many donations from other members of all the major hair loss forums including JANNA the head technician at SMG who as helped co ordinate this entire project and has been absolutely fantastic and supportive from the beginning.
SO TO ALL THAT AS BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY
HEART THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next part of my incredible story to restore my hair and life details my trip to Shapiro Medical Group in the US
Here's the story of my hair loss repair program with Shapiro medical group in Minnesota
I'm going to go into detail to help all newbies and UK patients thinking of going to America
Firstly I live in the UK in West Yorkshire so I booked my flights from Manchester as this was my nearest large airport. I booked my flights with klm airlines who are partners with north west airlines.
Who fly to America regularly from all UK airports.
The flight cost around £450 return (thanks Tubs)and was a one stop connection in Amsterdam before flying to MSP airport at Minneapolis. The flights themselves were very comfortable and even the connection stop at Amsterdam was very easy to do and straight forward. To be honest this was a major worry for me as id only ever flown to Paris, but trust me it was a piece of cake!! The flight to Amsterdam took fifty minutes then the flight to MSP took 9 and half hrs but this seemed to go pretty quick as there was a great selection of in flight entertainment with TV screens in the head rests.
When I arrived at MSP airport I was picked up by the hotel shuttle bus that JANNA the clinical operations manager at Shapiro Medical Group had very kindly arranged for me as she was aware just how nervous i was of flying and how inexperienced i was, as i'd only ever flown to France before. This was a huge weight off my mind as its terrifying being in a strange country without the added worry of finding your hotel. .
Janna had booked my hotel for me previously in the run up to the surgery as I'm hopeless with anything like that which was very helpful .The hotel she recommended and booked was the country inn and suites at Bloomington and i was very impressed with her recommendation as the hotel was great
When the bus dropped me off at the hotel I simply couldn't believe it, the place was immaculate and the staff were warm and friendly and ever so helpful (which to be honest was a shock as UK hotels are generally poor). The room came equipped with flat screen TV with loads of channels and on demand movies, it had all the essential amenities e.g. hair dryers, kettle iron etc ,and there was even free Wifi Internet access in every room which proved cool as I brought my laptop.
There was also free breakfasts which believe me I took advantage of as they were out of this world lol..
Monday morning i got the shuttle bus from the hotel to take me to SMG and I don't mind admitting I was absolutely terrified after the previous transplants id had. I must of spent most of the night in the lavatory but Janna bless her kept reassuring me as soon as i arrived at SMG which was very nice!!.
As soon as i arrived after meeting Janna i was relaxed as she was a wonderful warm caring person and knew just what to say to put me at ease straight away
She then introduced me to Dr Shapiro he greeted me with a handshake and welcomed me to his clinic, straight away all my fears disappeared because the guy was one of the most kind, warm hearted gentleman I've ever had the pleasure to meet he really took on board my hair loss concerns and was extremely passionate about helping me it was obvious right from the get go this guy was going to do his very best to improve my situation.
Firstly he checked out my donor hair, laxity and recipient site. He then took plenty off photos from all sides, he then uploaded these onto a computer screen so I could see my hair loss from all angles. After this he asked what I hated the most and what I hoped to achieve.
We discussed the options and procedure for around an hour. He was extremely thorough and answered all my questions and concerns and really took on board what I was saying. To me it was blatantly obvious the man had my very best interests at heart, there was absolutely no pressure or rushing to get me into the chair he wanted to get the plan off attack just right before we started.
He then showed me what he thought would be the best plan off attack based on his knowledge and my desires by drawing diagrams on my head and going through the whole process step by step explaining every aspect of the imminent surgery. I was more than happy to go with his suggestions as they were exactly what i was hoping for and matched my goals completely . So we agreed on the approach and I was led into the procedure room where I was introduced to everyone.
This again was a pleasure as every member off his staff greeted me warmly I felt like a VIP and I couldn't possibly have been more comfortable all the techs were very friendly and happy telling jokes and doing their up most to make me feel comfortable. All in all I have to say that Dr's Ron and Paul Shapiro must have had the friendliest work force I've eve come across my whole life.
I was then told to put on a medical gown ready for the procedure whilst doing this their consultant Matt Zupan came in and introduced himself to me and again what a nice guy he was, funny and quick witted and very likable just like the other staff members he asked if I was comfortable and laughed at my forum name Bullitnut .
I was placed in a chair rather like a dentists chair and was given my anesthetic using an extraordinary vibrating machine that was placed on my forehead to numb my scalp. This was a great feeling I never felt any pain whatsoever just the odd scratch like feeling now and again but this was normal and was nothing at all to worry about. I can honestly say hand on heart that the anesthetic was no where near as bad as that administered at a dentist, and i'm a wimp so if it hurt id be the first to complain lol.
I was then placed face down on the chair with my chin on a head rest so Dr Shapiro could remove my strip. This again was completely painless and to be honest I almost fell asleep as I was very comfortable lying there and had foolishly had little sleep the night before due to needless worry. After the strip was removed the techs starting the cutting while I was being sutured up.
Dr Shapiro then told me he had managed to get rid of most of my poor previous scar which was great and I almost started to cry soft sod I am lol. He then started to make the incisions for my new hair with Janna counting everyone out loud so we knew just how many there was. When about 90% of the incisions were made, they used a dye onto my recipient area for them to see the incisions better. They saved around 10% of the grafts to be used for fine tuning at the end. They were also taking estimates of how many grafts were to be expected every half hours or so.
Janna and the other techs then started to plant with Dr Shapiro checking all the time he was very thorough and hardly ever away whilst they were doing this. They planted in a rotation so that each tech didn't become too tired. It was obvious that they had all been there working together for a lot of years as they were like a well oiled machine working in tune with each other it was very impressive to see.
During the surgery I was given Valium to help me relax and offered a choice of Dvd's to watch on a flat screen TV in front of me, the whole experience was so relaxing I almost fell asleep on numerous occasions and had to fight to keep my eyes open at times lol.
I can honestly say though that through out the whole procedure I didn't feel one bit of pain, and I was told that if I did to tell them so they could administer more anesthetic.
The whole thing lasted from 8.00 am until around 5.00pm with a break in the middle for lunch which was a lovely pizza courtesy of NervousNelly,thank you!!.
I was also told that if I ever needed the rest room just to ask and I could go, which I did on a couple of occasions and both times I was escorted by this very caring lovely technician just to make sure I was ok due to the medication ,all in all the level of care shown throughout was simply exceptional. The guys who work at SMG should be very proud of themselves as they do a superb job and really know how to make someone feel welcome and look after them.
Throughout the surgery I was offered drinks periodically which was a nice gesture as you can imagine sat in a chair that long you become restless and a nice drink every now and again alleviated that .
When most of the grafts were placed Dr Shapiro and Janna began to fine tune the hairline with the last lot of grafts to fine tune the work and they really took there time over this to ensure it was just right and as planned from the beginning.
After the surgery was finished Tom one off the techs a really cool guy went through all the post operative instructions and gave me a bag with pain killers and some gauze cloths, graftcyte spray and antibiotic cream he was very thorough with the instructions and made sure I understood properly which was good thanks Tom!!.
I was then given something to eat and drink before I said goodbye to everyone and thanked Dr Shapiro for all the work he had done , Janna then asked if I was happy with the results and i'm not ashamed to admit that even though I'm a man off 34yrs old it brought tears to my eyes when I looked in the mirror.
After the surgery i went back to the hotel on the free shuttle bus which was very handy and the driver was great, the hotel was only minutes away from SMG so the ride only took a short while.
I was told to return the day after surgery for a shampoo so they could instruct me properly on how to do it. The free bus picked me up again the following day and when i arrived Janna introduced me to one of the techs, who was also a hairdresser called Sue. She said she was going to trim my hair after Janna had washed it for me and she did a great job as it looked lots better when the sides were trimmed to match the new grafted hair.
Afterwords Dr Shapiro took some pictures and video footage of my results he asked me if I was happy and I said ecstatic.
The city itself was great to explore and was beautiful and worlds apart from anything we have here in the UK, I was mesmerized by all the tall buildings and how clean the place was, also the people there were so polite and well mannered it was like something from a dream I really took to the city and its definitely a place id visit again.
I realize this has been a long thread but I feel that after the poor surgeries ive had in the past I owe it to everyone out there who has supported me on the forums to tell them just how pleased and thankful I am. Right now I feel like a kid in a candy store and I would like to say a huge heartfelt thank you to Dr Shapiro for all his hard work and dedication in making my dreams come true.
You truly are the greatest man I've ever met in my entire life you were born with a gift and i'm just so glad I got the pleasure of you using it on me, in my humble opinion based on all the research I did before you agreed to do the pro Bono work and my own experience ive had with you, you are definitely the greatest hair transplant surgeon on the planet today and as well as that you have now become a good friend and id like to wish you all the best for the future.
I would also like to thank Janna who is just an incredible lady who has the patients best interest at heart 100% of the time, you went out of your way every day I was in Minnesota to help me and for that I am and always will be eternally grateful you're the best J
SMG ROCK!!!!!!!!
I realize people may possibly think i'm only writing this article and saying good things about SMG as ive had a repair there, but i think its important to emphasize the fact that hand on heart the treatment i received from SMG was absolutely second to none.
They looked after me every single step of this project and were always there to answer any questions i had. Their entire staff bent over backwards to accommodate me and they really were a great bunch of people every single one of them.
They were very professional and extremely caring and it was visible straight away that Dr Ron Shapiro really knew what he was talking about as soon as i spoke with him, i genuinely believe he really is at the very top of the ht game and i would not hesitate one bit to recommend him or Dr Paul to anyone.
Overall i'm walking on air at the moment thanks to everyone who's contributed to this repair project. The fact that guys at SMG and on the hair loss forums some who ive never met before in my life have contributed to me getting my life back means so much to me, i simply cant describe how thankful i am and i really am glad to have found the hair loss forums and come across people like SMG,Spencer,Bigmac,PB, Tim UK, tubs ,nervous Nelly and all the other great folk that have contributed to this.
best wishes to everyone who supported me i'm off to bed now as i'm extremely tired and looking forward to dreaming about using a comb for the first time in eight years lol
I would also like to say a huge thank you to PB and BIGMAC who started this whole project for me. Your the best guys i owe you big time

how can i get out of the army?
i just got home from basic training three weeks ago. i did not graduiate, and i do not feel that the army is for me. i only swore in once and i am split-ops; meaning i came home right after basic training for my last year of high school. i do not want a dis-honorable discharge but i want out. what is the best way and who do i talk to to get a general discharge?
tell your first sergeant that you are in love with him and you want to have gay anal sex with him. bring some flowers and ky jelly with you. this might actually work unless he takes you up on your offer. but then i think you might have some other problems to deal with, LOL.

why cant i get a filter to work with my broadband phone line?
I have an extension lead coming out of my phone socket on a double adapter, so the broad band and phone line can come out of the same socket. Then the long extension lead goes to a diff room and goes into my router. I have put a filter into the adaptor, and into the main socket and have the adapter into that, but neither work. My net cuts off everytime i get a phone call, as i cant get the net to work when i put the filter in. yeah i have tried 3 diff filters. why wont it work? is it cos of the long extension lead? or the double adapter?
im not sure i understand. the phone is at socket, away from comp. so i have the double adapter coming out of the main socket, with one line for phone and one line going to a diff room as a long extension, to then plug into a socket which goes into the router. when i put a filter in the main socket, the net wont work 
If what you're referring to is a splitter (where the male end plugs into the wall jack and splits off into 2 female sockets), you can't use these for DSL connections. You can get filters with 2 jacks, one is for a phone and one for the DSL line, but it sounds like you don't have one of these. You can also get a replacement wall plate that outputs a filtered signal as well. This is what I use and is likely what you need:

I had a friend that had good luck using a foam roller and then would tip it going in the same direction with the brush. He did thin it out some using Penetrox. I would say to spray it on only myself, I guess he had the touch.

How can I make my rear wheel drive better on snow, the wheel spin helplessly!?
Drive better, don't accelerate hard, don't try to rush and plan well ahead, don't brake hard and definitely keep your foot off the gas, be as light as possible with the accelerator
A smooth driving style is all that's needed.
Hope this helps
Good luck

How to Improve the Accurcy of Infrared Temperature Measurement
Infrared thermometers and temperature sensors, such as the AGRI-THERM II manufactured by Everest Interscience have been used for a few decades now to measure the surface temperature of targets out-of-doors. This work has been done primarily for agricultural applications to determine optimum irrigation scheduling and conserve water. Another use for infrared thermometers where temperatures are taken out-of-doors includes sports medicine applications. In many of these applications, it has been found that the temperatures were lower than what was meaningful. Any infrared temperature measurement that is taken out-of-doors can be found to have the same problem. One important concept has often been overlooked in these studies. That effect is sky radiation. A means to compensate for the reflection to the sky from plants or other objects that the infrared thermometer is measuring must be employed in order to insure accurate readings.
The unique solution of the phenomenon of sky radiation is the addition of the Everest Interscience SKY-SPY to the infrared thermometer or temperature sensor. The SKY-SPY “… provides a novel means for sensing the level of infrared radiation received by the object being measure from a skyward direction,” according to Everest’s U. S. Patent No. 4,420,265. With this invention, a second detector is utilized wherein the reflection by the vegetation or target that is received from a skyward direction may be taken into account to measure the actual surface temperature of the target. The purpose of this second sensor is to account for reflected sky radiation characteristics and compensate for them in the temperature reading from the target itself in order to produce a more precise infrared measurement.
In order to explain the inaccuracies that can be derived by taking out-of-doors infrared temperature measurements without the use of a SKY-SPY, assume that the object that is being measured is a first surface mirror and that the temperature reflected by that mirror is the temperature of the radiation from the sky. This temperature could be as much as -80°C under clear sky conditions. Then, assume that the mirror effect is fading into the object and the mirror radiation comprises only 2.0% of the total radiation (Surface Emissivity = 0.98) and the target forms 98%. The secondary mirror radiation, or the temperature of the sky radiation reflected on the secondary mirror, is now only two (2.0) percent of the temperature of the radiation or -1.6°C. The temperature of a leaf or is usually in a range of no more than minus ten degrees compared to the surrounding ambient air. So, the -1.6°C could be sixteen (16) percent of the total or as much as -1.6°C, bringing the effective temperature of the target down by that amount. In a science where infrared temperature-measure accuracy is critical, this error is intolerable.
Of course, at low-elevation conditions, perhaps in the presence of high water vapor and CO2 layers, the apparent sky temperature is much warmer than -80°C. Under these conditions, the SKY-SPY instantly and automatically corrects for all sky temperatures from ambient to -100°C or beyond.
This unique SKY-SPY, coupled with the infrared thermometers for making infrared temperature measurements with ±0.5°C accuracy that is covered in Everest’s U. S. Patent No. 4,301,682, provide a more accurate means of making the precise temperature measurements needed for agronomy applications. These instruments include Everest’s AGRI-THERM II handheld infrared thermometer, and their Model 4000 and their new Model 3800ZL Fixed-Mounted Infrared Temperature Sensors.
The AGRI-THERM II has been used extensively worldwide to measure crop canopy temperatures in an attempt to control irrigation with the goal of improving crop yields while reducing the amount of irrigation needed. More information on this subject can be read in M. B. Kirkham’s book, Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations, 2004.
The AGRI-THERM II infrared thermometers are capable of taking surface temperature measurements in a highly dynamic environment such as having the thermometer taken from an air conditioned truck into the heat of the desert without giving them time for equilibration before taking the measurements. Under these environmental conditions, they respond with accuracy of ±0.5 degrees C or ±1.0 degree F.
Everest also markets infrared temperature sensors, the Model 4000.4ZL and the Model 3800ZL, infrared temperature sensors that can be mounted in the field and run continuously.
If you are planning to attend the Joint Meeting of the Geological Society of America, the Soil Science Society of America, the American Society of Agronomy and the Crop Science Society of America at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, on October 5 through October 8, please stop by Booth No. 1121 to learn more about the SKY-SPY.

my temperature gauge works till truck gets hot then doesnt work. would that be the temp sensor?
i have a 2000 dodge durango. when the truck gets up to running temp the gauge stops working and the truck runs like crap!!!! is it the temperature sensor on the intake?
As for the gauge not working when at operating temp... yes, that could be the sending unit (sensor). But it would not effect the performance aspect... there is more likely another issue causing the vehicle to run poorly.
The temp sensor is usually located near the thermostat housing... look where the top radiator hose goes into the engine, the sensor will be located near that area.
- Good Luck!
