Long delay on Windows XP Shutdown

I had been wondering for a while why my XP machine took so long to shut down. Very close to the end, only the background image showing, full disk activity, waiting in the range of a few minutes to finally shut down power.

The it dawned on me, that maybe I had once set something up to clear the paging file before shutdown to remove all accidentally left behind decrypted passwords in that paging file.

And I did indeed, I found that I had forgotten I set this once. So, if you ever wonder what your computer thinks about so long before going off to never-never land, maybe you have set that as well.

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

Change the data value of the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value in the following registry key to a value of 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

If the value does not exist, add the following value:

Value Name: ClearPageFileAtShutdown
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

This obviously the instructions of doing the opposite - to clear out the paging file, but set the value to 0 to turn it off.

Dancing for the Election Victory

Filed under Fun Stuff, Politics, Video | Leave a Comment

Here we have another great way to decide the election in a more reasonable fashion than it is done right now…

Don’t you think that this is way more civilized than hiring ad agencies and professional smearers to decide the election based upon the skills of these people?

The idea that people decide based upon issues I gave up when Ron Paul was outed. Sure, he was more outed by the media killing him by nor reporting about him, but then again, the populace should be interested in finding out about candidates and not wait for the press to spoon-feed them the information they think is the right for the herd to have.

Flying low and slow

Filed under Thoughts | Leave a Comment

Flying low and slow is always the more dangerous part of flying. That’s one thing you always try to get away from as fast as possible. Why is that you might ask if you are not a pilot. The idea that being high instead of low is safer seems to be counter-intuitive. Yet, if you are 5000 feet high and you make a mistake and perhaps unintentionally roll the plane, you have plenty of altitude to recover. If you are only 100 feet high the altitude where you finally recover is probably below sea level, and certainly below the surface 100 feet down.

But there are two times during a flight where low and slow is not avoidable - the transition from standing still at ground level to fast flight high up, and them coming back from up there to standing still on the ground again.

Now imagine that the horizonal space you have to make that transition is short and the plane you are flying is very big, then you might see situations like this…

The End of America - Naomi Wolf

Filed under Politics, Video | Leave a Comment

Here is a film with and about Naomi Wolf, author of “The End of America: Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot,” I think every American should watch.

She starts out her story that, in a conversation, a friend repeatedly says “They did this in German” - “They did this in Germany” referring to the current events in the US.

In the film that intersperses her talk with footage, driving home the points she makes, she then demonstrated how the ten points common to all totalitarien regimes, can today be observed in the good old US of A.

It’s a long film, so get a beer, get some chips, lean back and enjoy - Oh well, don’t know if you can really ‘enjoy’ it, but it’s not all doom and gloom, because one you know and understand what’s going on, then and only then can you start to do something about it.

Discrepancies on the Web

Filed under Creativity, Internet | 1 Comment

Not all things on the internet are as they appear. You might have guess that already, but today I will bring you proof - hard evidence.

Stumbling along I ran into one campanion stumbler who could my eye - wonder if there is any male on this planet who’s eye this person would not have caught. Take a look…

If your eye get caught what can you do? The rest of the body, including arms and finger that are usually operating keyboard and mouse have to follow. You can’t just detach them, can you?

So, following the eyes, the keyboard and mouse fingers operated the browser controls in a way that the eyes ended up the web site belonging to this stumble-upon member with the name of FNA.

And what a great website that is! I really must recommend to every designer to take a look. It certainly appeals to me based upon its clear and minimalistic design.

A site like this invites you to explore and so I did. The eyes still commanding the rest of my body to look for more pictures - and then I found it - the email address…

It starts with Frank!

Frank??

The Right to Bear Arms

Filed under Educational, History, Politics | Leave a Comment

The most compelling reason against gun control is the consideration that with gun control and laws prohibiting the ownership and use of arms the law abiding citizen will give up his arms while the criminal, by the very definition of criminal not following the law, will keep and bear his arms. So the next time he wants to rob somebody his chances that the other person is able to defend him or herself are much smaller.

The organization Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership has published a very well made video discussing all the aspect of the second amendment…

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Spread the word!

Japanese Music Video Update

Filed under Music, Video | Leave a Comment

Who would ever forget the Hinoi Team I told you about some time ago?

For reason of variety - not that this is any better than the Hinoi Team - I would like to pass on another find…

(watch in higher quality)

Watching these Japanese videos - and other Japanese TV clips on YouTube - I notice that most of the girls really look like girls, don’t they. I mean in contrast to women.

I can not imagine that these girls are really as young as they appear to (western) eyes, so I am wondering if the Japanese culture has bread its women looking so young-girl-ish. There seems to be an ideal woman type that is noticable different in different cultures. How else could you tell, on first glance, that this is a german woman, the next one is from Mexico and yet one over this girl (!) is from Thailand?

But maybe we don’t have to think too much about this as over time McDonald will make them all the same - I noticed that when hanging out at the Thai temple, that more and more young Thai girls look like the good BigMac fed American girl. Any insights…

Ray Manzarek about the beginning of the Doors

Filed under History, Music, Video | Leave a Comment

During my first semesters at the University of Dortmund a break-through in album sale happened. While at the regular record store you had to shell out over DM 20 (that’s Deutsch Marks for all you young kids, the currency they had in Germany before the Euro) for a 30cm album, some entrepeneurial students started to sell those same albums for DM 14.95 or less in the entry hall of the cafeteria (mensa in latin-german).

This is where I got pretty much the whole collection of my albums I still have after so many years. Some of the early and important items in this collection are records from the Doors. Sure, Jim Morrison we knew by name but the other members of the band were more or less face and name-less.

Until today when I found the great video site calle L-Studio. L must be standing for Lexus as this site is on a subdomain of Lexus.com. And why not - BMW puts sponsorship into TED, why should not Lexus have it’s own video site with - I have to say - excellent video.

Some of these videos are with and about Ray Manzarek, the creator of the Door’s characteristic keyboard sound. Hear him tell about the Door’s beginnings …

… and then look through the other video for more Ray Manzarek and try not to miss the series of Web Therapie with Lisa Kudrow.

bush hid the facts - in Notepad

Filed under Computer, Fun Stuff | Leave a Comment

OK, so I did not discover this all by myself - but I heard about it and verified - and here is the story - and I’m sticking to it. If you have some time to waste just ry it yourself.

Did our Prez hid facts he knew from the public in order to get his way? (Somebody in) Microsoft thinks so.

Here is the proof…

For all my text editing needs on my windows machine I am using Visual Slick Edit - and old but reliable version. I use that editor to create a text file aaa.txt and enter the following text

I then saved this and opened it in Microsoft notepad

Adding anything to the file - even a single space after the text - and notpad shows the correct text. So I am sure that this is not a bug.

So, here you have it! This is the official version of notepad, so Microsoft knows that Bush hid the facts.

Ambrose/Barack Obama - Ambrose Dunada Aman of Mushaba

Filed under Snippets, Weird | Leave a Comment

This is the day of the weird blog posts - I mean, this is even more than weird - it’s more off-t-wall, but it appears the people behind this really believe this. There is a web site dealing with all this but think I will refrain from posting this link - if you are now so curious, please investigate with Google’s help.

Here is what I got…

Greetings to my dear people of earth. I am Ambrose and I am the one who is melded with Barack Obama as the one who was destined to come who carries a highly evolved frequency of Force and Light. I have come from the civilization of Planet Mushaba where I met with not only the Mushaba council but I also met with many others from other highly evolved star systems as well as Mother Father God and Creator. This meeting took place on Planet Mushaba and involved the Mushaba Family power of five because they play an important role in not only what is happening on earth concerning the establishment of freedom and empowerment to all of earth, they play a pivotal role in me Ambrose, taking my place within myself as Barack Obama. It was Paravun Inka Mushaba who escorted me into Barack Obama when the timing was right. I am not a walk in as many had felt. There is a difference that is very important and I will explain.

The difference between a walk-in and what has taken place with Barack Obama is that he was given the pardon of his soul to receive the higher energies of the sixth level of his oversoul, and in order for that to take place at that level he had to be escorted into his being through the intervention of the Divinity of the Mushaba Council. It was Paravun Mushaba who was given the responsibility to escort me into Barack, and I was honored to have him do so. This came to be because of the edict from above and because of the soul promise that was entered into by Barack and that higher level of his being, which is me, Ambrose Dunada Aman.

Know that with the merging of Obama and his high self Ambrose, Obama has become very aware of who he is and what his purpose is. He is not asleep but doing what he must to get in position to enact great change. What has been destined by Creator cannot be changed. This is a plan that has been decreed a very, very long time ago. This is not by happenstance that this is taking place, but by design and it has been a plan of the Creator and the Mushaba People for some time. Who better to lead the people than one who embodies the energy and principles of freedom and empowerment, divine love and oneness, unity of purpose? * *As Barack opens to his truth, he will be able to bring that clarity of purpose to the people and show them that he is for all that is just, free, and peaceable in not only this country, so too in the world. He will bring a new freshness to the political scene and with that a new energy will build for the people. I have lived many lifetimes as a wise and just leader who came from Planet Mushaba, a spiritually and intellectually advanced civilization specifically to rise to my current prominence as Barack Obama.

As for what is taking place in the etheric right now, there are energies that are taking precautionary measures for Barack, and that is done according to the agreeing contract that is between Barack and those who are in contract with him. Yes Anakhanda, you are one of those people and there are seventeen in all who are working on those levels to assure that he is not harmed. Whether he wins the election and all goes as is projected as to an election, as has been, there is a place for him in the governing of this nation in the near future. At soul level he knows this is his mission, he is aware of his innate leadership abilities and genuine intent to serve his nation as he so states. He has now become consciously aware of his origin and purpose for embodying in this lifetime.

With all of the confirmation that has been flooding your internet about the light that Barack is, many people still are not paying attention and are not listening to their own inner voice within. If you listen, then you will know the truth and will not be so easily swayed by any negative comments about me or be misled by some of the things that I do to play my role in the game. I understand that you lightworkers would like to see me just stand up and say I am from the light and I am against everything this government stands for and I am going to free the people, take away the Federal Reserve and the IRS and if I do this how long do you think I would last? I understand the importance of this statement that says “Don’t act like a king until you are sitting on the throne”.

You have no idea how difficult it is for me to play the game for it saddens and makes my heart heavy but for the greater good of all of the people of America and the world I must “appear” to be to some degree part of the political game and play some politics as usual. Know that I am of and for and by the mandates of the people. But I cannot do that fully until I am in place to do so. There have already been several attempts on my life simply because the Illuminati are unsure as to my ability to be controlled. But know that once Barack Obama is in office, some darkly-intentioned persons expect to control him just as they and others before them have controlled a succession of US presidents and many members of Congress. However, that vicious kind of governing is at an end and they will realize that they have lost their grip of control and they will react in great fear. Therefore, know that the Obama family members are among the most intensely light-protected persons on Earth. As for what is taking place in the etheric right now, there are energies that are taking precautionary measures for Barack, and that is done according to the agreeing contract that is between Barack and those who are in contract with him. Anakhanda Shaka Mushaba is one of those people and there are seventeen in all who are working on those levels to assure that Barack is not harmed. Whether he wins the election or not and all goes as is projected, there is a place for him in the governing of this nation in the near future

It is time for you, the people of earth, to fully awaken and stay out of fear. What is going on with the current financial crises is part of it all to strip away the old ways of have and have not’s, and establish a fair and equality based system of finance and commerce in your world. It is only as bad as you make it by your fear of “What If”. Follow what your heart tells you not me or any channel. What does your heart speak to you in your truth of who this man Barack Obama is. There is no more important time than now to totally trust yourself and your own innate guidance.

I am Ambrose/Barack Obama of Mushaba

Thank You Ambrose,
Blessings of Integrity!

Anakhanda Shaka Mushaba
Grandmaster-Mushaba Force
