Free Netflix Grab App

If you are looking for an app that can download Netflix movies and convert them into MP4 format then the Netflix Free Grab app is for you. I have tried many different apps and most of them are buggy or don’t work at all. However, this one works as advertised (and is legal). Moreover, it is easy to use.  You just copy the Netflix URL link of the movie or episode you want to download, along with the video and audio quality, then press the download button.  It also has the option to save the video with subtitles.

Altogether, I highly recommend it.  You can download it at the following website: https://freegrabapp.com/product/free-netflix-download/.  

PureMineral Gold Ormus
Now for Sale

   

At PureMineral we are proud to offer the highest quality and most potent (concentrated) proprietary Ormus currently on the market.

Thought by some to be the Elixir of Life that the alchemists spoke of in their writings, we source our Ormus from the finest available organic ingredients, each procured from reputable sources throughout the world.

All of our Ormus products contain high quality 24-karat monoatomic colloidal gold made by EnerGold (200 ppm), as well as Super Silver colloidal silver (20 ppm).

We hand produce our Ormus starting two days prior to the full moon because of the dip that occurs in the earth’s magnetic field which causes Ormus to be pulled up from the earth more readily. After we finish the Ormus we store it in a special pyramid-shaped structure surrounded by quartz crystals. We also shield the final product from harmful radiation and electromagnetic fields by using heavy duty aluminum foil and EMF protection bags provided by Mission Darkness.

Available at the following websites for only $39:

Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds - An Excellent Film about Spirituality

Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds (2012)

Director: Daniel Schmidt

Garnering high ratings on all film review sites, I was somewhat surprised that I hadn't heard of this movie until recently.  Normally, high ratings wouldn't be convincing enough, but I felt something drawing me towards this movie, and I'm glad I decided to give it a chance. The final verdict: a well-made, philosophically thought provoking, and, although unclear to me at present, motivating movie (on some indescribable and fundamental level). Most highly recommended.

Summary:
"There is one vibratory field that connects all things. It has been called Akasha, Logos, the primordial OM, the music of the spheres, the Higgs field, dark energy, and a thousand other names throughout history. The vibratory field is at the root of all true spiritual experience and scientific investigation. It is the same field of energy that saints, Buddhas, yogis, mystics, priests, shamans and seers, have observed by looking within themselves. Many of history's monumental thinkers, such a Pythagoras, Kepler, Leonardo DaVinci, Tesla, and Einstein, have come to the threshold of this great mystery. It is the common link between all religions, all sciences, and the link between our inner worlds and our outer worlds." (from http://www.imdb.com/)

YouTube links to Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds:

• "Akasha"
• "The Spiral" 
• "Serpent & Lotus"
• "Beyond Thinking"

Alternatively, all 4 parts combined into 1 video can be purchased from the movie's website. It can be downloaded as well for free at archive.org.

I haven't seen the follow up film, Samadhi Movie, but since it's made by the same folks I'll be watching it in the very near future:

• "Maya"
• "The Hindrances"

Repairing a Windows 7 installation that won't boot:

1. Insert Windows 7 installation disk, boot from the disk, and choose "Repair Windows" at the bottom left of the second screen

2. Try to run the following command:

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=[DRIVELETTER]:\ /offwindir=[DRIVELETTER]:\windows

(Image credit: http://www.maximumpc.com/how-to-repair-a-faulty-windows-installation-without-reformatting/)

------------------------

If you get a message saying "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete", try this command:

cd c:\windows\winsxs

find "pending" /i 

Then:

rename [FILENAME].xml [FILENAME].xml.bak

If you get an error message at any point, run this command (while still in the winsxs folder) and then retry the above rename operation:

icacls * /T /Q /C /RESET

Now repeat step 2 to check for errors.

Mozilla Tweaks (Partial List)

In searching around the Internet recently, I came across some cool add-ons for Mozilla Firefox that I thought I would share (and keep in an organized place for myself, especially since I am always having to redo one of my systems). Here are the links and information:

+ Greasemonkey Add-on for Firefox:

• Step 1: Use Firefox to navigate to the Greasemonkey Add-on page;


• Step 2: Click the Add to Firefox button, assuming you are using a compatible version (as of this writing, versions 1.5 to 3.0.* are supported);


• Step 3: Restart Firefox and ensure Greasemonkey is enabled by glancing at the lower right corner of the Firefox window. If it has been installed correctly there will be a smiling monkey there to greet you;


• Step 4: Find user scripts to install at the following website: userscripts.org.

Now, if you use Gmail and like to organize using labels (or wish there was a way to organize using a folder-like structure), go to userscripts.org and install Folders4Gmail, a script allowing folder-like organization using the label interface.


Some other Greasemonkey scripts I found useful follow:

+ YousableTubeFix - Enhances YouTube
"Removes ads and unwanted sections (configurable), allows downloading and resizing videos, displays all comments on video page, expands the description, can prevent autoplay and autodownload, adds a HD (High Definition) select, etc..."

+ Script Updater
"Regularly checks us.o for updates for all of your scripts."


Other Firefox Add-ons that I found useful/interesting:

+ Download Statusbar
"View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing."

+ GooglePreview
"A Mozilla Firefox browser extension that inserts preview images (thumbnails) of web sites and popularity ranks into the Google and Yahoo search results pages. Thumbnails are created and provided by GooglePreview servers."

+ IE Tab
"Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox"

+ Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant
Add-in for Firefox that allows publishing and installation of ClickOnce applications. Included in the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 update.

+ Firefox Showcase
"Showcase provides a new way to manage your Firefox tabs and windows by showing them as thumbnails in a single window, tab or sidebar. Includes a find bar that will filter the thumbnails, and the capability to select the thumbnails in the same way you would select files in your system."

+ Download Statusbar
"View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing."

+ PDF Downloader
"PDF Download by Nitro PDF Software is the leading tool for handling and viewing Web-based PDF files and is enjoyed by millions of Firefox and Flock users every day. The browser extension removes the pain often experienced when encountering PDF files online, and now lets you quickly convert your Web pages into high-quality PDFs that are ideal for archiving, printing and sharing."

+ Toolbar Buttons
"Toolbar Buttons is the single biggest button pack for Firefox, Thunderbird or Sunbird there is. You will find buttons that enable hidden functionality or is too many clicks away, but some of the best buttons are those unique to the extension, a number that is ever increasing."

+ Xoopit
"Browse all your email and web photos and videos in one spot. Photo and YouTube links sent to you are automatically collected, saving you the hassle of going to these sites."

More coming soon (direct links below)... Enjoy!

Required file 'alink.dll with IAlink3' could not be found

After reinstalling Visual Studio and attempting to open and build a new project on my Vista system, I encountered the following error:

"Required file 'alink.dll with IAlink3' could not be found"

So that time may be saved in the future for the next who encounters this error, the following steps will solve this problem:

1. Explore the Visual Studio installation source and go to the "\WCU\dotNetFramework\dotNetMSP\x86" directory;

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=2.0.0.0

Welcome!

This blog will be the stage for my writings, past and present. It's not really addressed to anyone, nor do I expect it to be read.

The issue is, for me, wanting to write when the fever takes over and consumes the pages… I prefer to write when I’m fully aware of what is being written, and really delve deep into the text as if we all were sitting adjacent.

The damned feeling that something great needs to be done hovers right out of arms length.

I guess it lies in the inherent gap in language, where all these enigmatic words/feelings/desires lay waiting patiently by, especially when all of the texts and words slide through the cracks in the floor.

For that we can still talk and be amazed at it all.
