Using Tweaking.com - Windows Repair

When you first run the program you will be introduced to 4 steps before the repair options. These steps are highly recommended to do before attempting any repairs.

Step 1: Clean your System of Infections

Trying to fix a system that is currently infected is obviously a very bad idea and can make things worse. An infection can hijack a machine and keep part of the repairs from running correctly. Since only part of a repair will work the other part that failed could end up causing problems. Rule of thumb before working on a system is to make sure it is clean. Even if you think your system is clean doing a scan before hand is a good idea.

Step 2: Check File System

Doing a check disk on the hard drive is a good idea. This will have Windows check the file system on the drive fixing any problem it finds. Corrupt files can break a lot of things, including the repairs. So making sure the file system is good is a must.

Step 3: System File Check (SFC)

The built in Windows system file checker is a tool that checks that the Windows files are intact, the correct versions and not corrupted. This is a good idea to do before doing repairs as if a file is corrupt and we try a repair that needs that file then the repair will fail.

Step 4: System Restore

Doing a system restore point is a great idea to do before doing any repairs. If any unforeseen problems happen after any repair than a system restore can put the system back to the way it was before the repairs. This is highly recommended.

Start Repairs

In this final step you can choose between 3 modes:

• Basic Mode: This will run only the most basic, safe repair options. Extra advanced repairs are disabled.
• Advanced Mode: Runs more advanced repairs while leaving a few disabled.
• Custom Mode: Every repair is available. The program will remember your repair choices the next time you choose custom mode.

The Retirement Syndrome: The Psychology of Letting it Go

This article by Manfred F. R. Kets De Vries analyzes a problem that can be described as the retirement syndrome. In exploring the difficulties many leaders face in letting go at the end of a full career, it reviews a number of the barriers to exit: financial, social, and psychological. It looks at the physical and psychological effects of aging, in the context of retirement; examines the experience of nothingness that single-minded careerists often feel after retirement; describes the talion principle, a subliminal fear of reprisals; and discusses the "edifice complex", the wish to leave behind a legacy. The article concludes with suggestions as to how individuals and organizations can develop more effective and humane disengagement strategies.

 

About Author

Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries brings a different view to the much-studied subjects of leadership
and the dynamics of individual and organizational change. Bringing to bear his knowledge and
experience of economics (Econ. Drs., University of Amsterdam), management (ITP, M.B.A., and
D.B.A., Harvard Business School), and psychoanalysis (Canadian Psychoanalytic
Society and the International Psychoanalytic Association), he scrutinizes the interface between
international management, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and dynamic psychiatry.

May Lipitor Cause Depression?

In one of the previous posts, we have already addressed the potential danger of cholesterol lowering drugs to cause clinical depression in patients. Based on the reader's interest to the topic, we will review the most popular statin drug Lipitor in more details in terms of how it works, what are the potential side effects, and what are the chances that the negative side effects might be more significant than the health induced benefits.


Why is Lipitor Prescribed?

Lipitor (Atorvastatin) is used along with diet, exercise, and weight-loss to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke and to decrease the chance that heart surgery will be needed in people who have heart disease or who are at risk of developing heart disease. Lipitor is also used to decrease the amount of cholesterol (a fat-like substance) and other fatty substances in the blood. This will decrease the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other heart diseases because when there are high levels of cholesterol and other fats in the blood, these substances may build up along the walls of the blood vessels and decrease or block blood flow to the heart. Lipitor is in a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body.

How Lipitor Works?

There are two sorts of cholesterol: a 'bad' sort called low density lipoprotein (LDL) and a 'good' sort called high density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is deposited in the arteries and increases the risk of heart disease by clogging and narrowing the arteries (atherosclerosis), while HDL actually protects the arteries against this. Lipitor and other statins as well lower cholesterol in two ways: They encourage the liver to clear LDL (bad cholesterol) from the blood, and they block an enzyme that the body needs to make new cholesterol.

At high doses, statins can nudge up your HDL (good cholesterol) while lowering your LDL (bad cholesterol) by 50% or more. Studies have shown that, for patients who already have heart disease, taking a statin can reduce the risk of fatal coronary events within five years by up to 40%. According to Thomas H. Lee, a cardiologist and editor in chief of the Harvard Heart Letter, even people who don't have high cholesterol can cut their risk of heart disease by a third simply by taking a statin.

Even given their wild popularity, "statins are still underprescribed," says Thomas Allison, PhD, a cardiovascular specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "The drugs could do much more good if more people took them to prevent heart disease, not just treat it," he says. "Most people aren't receiving cholesterol treatment until they've had a heart attack."

Lipitor can also be used to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes, regardless of their cholesterol levels. It has been shown to reduce the risk of needing procedures to improve blood supply to the heart, such as a balloon dilation of an artery or a heart bypass graft. It also reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and death from heart disease.

Is Lipitor Underprescribed or Overprescribed?

While scientific opinion on the necessity of promoting statin drugs, and Lipitor, as the most popular among them, is widely accepted in medical community, it cannot be considered as the only existing approach to the cholesterol related health problems. Dr. Mercola presents totally opposite point of view, claiming that the drug is often prescribed for the cases, when it is unneeded, and even presents certain dangers to the patients' health.

That these drugs have proliferated the market the way they have is a testimony to the power of marketing, corruption and corporate greed, because the odds are very high� greater than 100 to 1�that if you're taking a statin, you don't really need it.

The ONLY subgroup that might benefit are those born with a genetic defect called familial hypercholesterolemia, as this makes them resistant to traditional measures of normalizing cholesterol. And, even more importantly, cholesterol is NOT the cause of heart disease. 

If your physician is urging you to check your total cholesterol, then you should know that this test will tell you virtually nothing about your risk of heart disease, unless it is 330 or higher.

HDL percentage is a far more potent indicator for heart disease risk. Here are the two ratios you should pay attention to:

1. HDL/Total Cholesterol Ratio: Should ideally be above 24 percent. If below 10 percent, you have a significantly elevated risk for heart disease.
2. Triglyceride/HDL Ratio: Should be below 2.

I have seen a number of people with total cholesterol levels over 250 who were actually at low risk for heart disease due to their elevated HDL levels. Conversely, I have seen many people with cholesterol levels under 200 who had a very high risk of heart disease, based on their low HDL.

Your body NEEDS cholesterol�it is important in the production of cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that help you to digest fat. Cholesterol also helps your brain form memories and is vital to your neurological function.

There is also strong evidence that having too little cholesterol INCREASES your risk for cancer, memory loss, Parkinson's disease, hormonal imbalances, stroke, depression, suicide, and violent behavior.

How to Optimize your Cholesterol Levels Naturally?

If your cholesterol levels are not critical yet, you may try to adjust your diet and lifestyle accordingly to balance your good and bad cholesterol in the body:

• Reduce, with the plan of eliminating, grains and sugars in your diet. Eat the right foods for your nutritional type, and consume a good portion of your food raw. 
• Make sure you are getting plenty of high quality, animal-based omega 3 fats, such as krill oil.
• Other heart-healthy foods include olive oil, coconut and coconut oil, organic raw dairy products and eggs, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, and organic grass-fed meats as appropriate for your nutritional type.

• Exercise daily. At least 30 minutes of exercise a day has been shown to decrease total cholesterol and improve "good" HDL cholesterol levels, while lack of regular physical activity can raise "bad" LDL cholesterol levels as well as lead to weight gain. Make sure you incorporate peak fitness exercises, which also optimizes your human growth hormone (HGH) production.
• Reach and maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight can decrease "good" HDL levels and increase "bad" LDL and total cholesterol levels.
• Address your emotional challenges engaging in enjoyable and mood stabilizing activities, like dancing, yoga, meditation, massage, and others.

• Cut out caffeine and alcohol � drink water. Both caffeine and alcohol have been shown to elevate cholesterol. So it's best to switch to pure water and, at the very least, follow the "no more than one a day" rule.
• Don't smoke or use tobacco in any form. Smoking damages blood vessels, contributes to hardening of the arteries and is a major health risk for heart disease, stroke and other degenerative diseases. Be sure to get plenty of good, restorative sleep.

Unlike statin drugs, which might lower your cholesterol at the expense of your health, these lifestyle strategies represent a holistic approach that will benefit your overall health�which includes a healthy cardiovascular system.

However, some experts have expressed concern that the emphasis on statins could draw attention away from the importance of diet and lifestyle. A 2007 study of 71 patients who began taking statins found that 44% felt their physician had prescribed the statin even though the patients preferred to try dietary measures to control their cholesterol. And although 76% of the patients wanted to reduce their dietary fat intake when they began statin treatment, after six months there was no significant change in the group's fat intake.

Lipitor Side Effects

While you may try to leverage your cholesterol levels naturally with the recommendations, provided above, that might not work as expected due to the various reasons, and mostly due to the genetic predisposition. If that is a case, you will still have to take the medications, since the cholesterol can potentially be dangerous to lethal to your health. While taking Lipitor or other statins, you should be aware on the possible side effects. Note that medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways, or may not affect at all. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with Lipitor. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.

Common (affect between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people)

• Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, flatulence or abdominal pain.
• Indigestion.
• Runny or stuffy nose.
• Nose bleeds.
• Muscle, bone or joint pain
• Headache.
• Difficulty sleeping (insomnia).
• Skin reactions such as rash and itch.
• Back pain.
• Dizziness.
• Feeling of weakness.
• Decreased sensitivity to touch or pain, pins and needles sensations.
• Chest pain.

Uncommon (affect between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 people)

• Vomiting.
• Decrease in the number of blood cells called platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia).
• Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
• Muscle pain.
• Hair loss (alopecia).
• Loss of appetite.
• Weight gain.
• Liver disorders.
• Changes in blood sugar levels.

Rare (affect between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 10,000 people)

• Swelling of the legs and ankles due to excess fluid retention (peripheral oedema).
• Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).
• Muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis).
• Inflammation of the muscles (myositis).
• Fever.

Very rare (affect less than 1 in 10,000 people)

• Visual disturbances.
• Serious skin conditions such as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.
• Enlargement of the breasts in men.
• Taste changes.

Unknown frequency

• Interstitial lung disease.
• Depression.
• Memory loss.
• Sleep disturbances.
• Sexual problems.

Lipitor and Depression

As you noticed, the frequency of the Lipitor-induced depression falls in the category of Unknown. That means, that the link exists, the danger is low, and that there is no sufficient data to quantify the probability you may develop depression from long-time Lipitor consumption.

Some new researches however show much higher probability for the related problems development than is shown on the official side effects statements. One of the studies found up to 12 per cent of patients taking part in one clinical trial suffered sleep disturbances such as insomnia, while 11 per cent of users in the same trial had depression and three per cent some level of memory loss. Another study suggested 12 per cent of statin patients had erectile dysfunction. That does not mean you might develop all the health problems above, if you just start taking Lipitor, since these trials did not evaluate the per cent of the patients affected by the stated conditions before the trials, so the numbers have lower value with missing reference points.

Another study, performed at the University of California, School of Medicine, showed that in multiple cases patients report depression and mood changes as side effects of Lipitor. Some people reported loss if interest in activities and tendency for diminished involvement in social affairs.

Summary

While the Lipitor side effects might be significant, the mainstream medical opinion is that the biggest risk with statins is not taking them. Only about half of all patients prescribed a statin end up reaching their cholesterol goals, mainly because far too many people leave far too many pills untouched.

If you feel that taking Lipitor brings major complications to your health and emotional wellbeing, discuss with your doctor the possibility to alter your treatment plan and optimize the cholesterol maintenance approach.

DVD Shrink - Free Software for Compression and Decryption of Copy-Protected DVD

There are several issues you may surface when you try to backup your DVDs. First of all, some disks are copy-protected, and embedded code will not allow you to copy it through common ways to prevent illegal distribution of the recorded media. But, if the DVD is yours, and you just want to preserve its copy in case the original media is damaged, you are stuck. DVDShrink � free software utility � will help you to remove the annoying protection. The second problem is related to the DVD size. You may just not be able to fit it to your blank DVD because there is not enough space. Definitely, compressing the disk may cause the certain quality losses, but in most cases, it cannot be even noticed. DVDShrink will assist you to perform the DVD compression as well to the certain degree.

If you have have the latest version of the DVD burning software from Nero, DVDShrink will also burn your backup DVD right away. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVDShrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.

As it was noticed already, most commercial DVD titles are encrypted, which prevents you from either copying them to your hard drive, or if you manage to do so, being able to play the resulting files. DVDShrink overcomes this problem with built-in decryption algorithms.

DVDShrink also allows you to re-author your DVD. You can make your own compilation from one or more source DVDs, or select only the parts of a DVD which you intend to view, thus preserving more space on your backup for the highest quality viewing.

Broken Marriage � Thanks to iPhone!

When Apple released its new iOS 5 operatingsystem to go with its iPhone 4S, it touted a new application called "FindMy Friends" as a great way to track and meet up with friends. Similar inconcept to Google Latitude, Find My Friends lets users follow people who haveaccepted requests in their own copies of the app. Once they give the thumbs up,friends will appear both on a list of contacts and on a Google map.

As needed users can toggle parental and privacy controls.The most important of these may be temporary sharing, which will automaticallystop tracking by others after a certain length of time. Find My Friends is afree universal app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, but requiresboth iOS 5 and an iCloud account.

While this social application might be quite useful forbuddies to have fun staking and meeting each other unexpectedly, some usersmight find suitable applications to get is utilized. If the online postsappearing on a chat forum at MacRumors.com are for real, "Find MyFriends" may have already claimed its first marriage.

October 15, 2011 on MacRumors, a man saying he lived in New York City postedthis:

Divorcing wife. Thanks iPhone 4s and Find My Friends.

I got my wife a new 4sand loaded up find my friends without her knowing. She told me she was at herfriends house in the east village. I've had suspicions about her meeting thisguy who live uptown. Lo and behold, Find my Friends has her right there.

I just texted her asking where she was and the dumb b!otch said she was on 10th Street!! Thankyou Apple, thank you App Store, thank you all. These beautiful treasure troveof screen shots going to play well when I meet her a$$ at the lawyer's officein a few weeks.

thankfully, she's the rich one.

It has not been determined whether the story posted onMacRumors was, in fact, authentic, and the man did not immediately reply to arequest from ABC News for comment. But more than 100,000 people have viewed theposts, according to MacRumors. More than 300 of them replied with expressionsof sympathy, skepticism and -- this being the Internet -- a few less-than-savoryjokes.

Arnold Kim, the editorial director of MacRumors, said it was"definitely a busy thread."

MacRumors did not try to verify the man's story (if, infact, it was a man), but said everyone who registers for its forums has tovalidate their email when they register.

"Find My Friends" uses the iPhone or iPad'sbuilt-in Global Positioning System to see your friends' locations on a map onthe screen of your device. GPS can be accurate to within a few feet forcivilian uses.

Apple says "The Find My Friends app is a great way toshare your location with people who are important to you" -- whetheryou're trying to meet friends at a crowded concert or make sure your kids getsafely home from school.

The man was back with a new post less than an hour later,including a couple of screen grabs showing the location of his wife was on East65th St., though she sent him a text message saying, "Was hard to findstupid cab hate meat packing...."

The husband again: "Shesaid she is in meat packing district which is on 12th street. I DONT THINK SO. Appreciate thesupport. not my finest hour here but going to get better soon."

How true the story is? Or that is a marketing trick of theApple developers? Or that is application developers? In any case, the associatedbuzz will make the trick. The software is free for to use, so there is nofinancial barrier for its installation.

In any case, if you like the application, and its potential,you should be aware on the possible negative outcomes, not being considered.

Once you're being followed by someone, they can discoveryour location, or at least the location of your phone, at any time, with threeexceptions:

1. When your phone is turned off or otherwise off the grid,
2. After you've deleted that person from your list of followers, or
3. When you go into Hide mode, which you find under the Me menu at the bottom of the screen.

Note that deleting someone from the list of people you'refollowing is different than deleting a person from your list of people allowed followingyou. Also, you can still see the locations of other people when you're in Hidemode.

One of Find My Friends' best features is the Temporary modefound in the top-level menu. This allows you to set up select windows of time,adjustable to the half-hour, in which you're able to follow another person andlet him or her follow you. Once the time window has expired, you're unfindableto each other and will have to submit new requests to once again appear on eachothers' maps.

This is nice for two reasons. 1) People forget. If youreally want to be visible to this person only for a select amount of time, butthen you forget to manually turn off access for days/weeks/months, it leavesyou with a very strange feeling. 2) A temporary invitation that automaticallyexpires just seems smoother than actively defriending someone.
