When it comes to the recovery of data from a hard disk, the best option for any firm is to use the Raid data recovery method. It is a very complex process that tries to repair the damage done by the client before sending the hard disk to the data recovery firm. It is never advisable for a user to try and recover the data himself. These clients may use certain system utilities tools in order to repair the array, but they may very often cause even more trouble. And, as when things go bad, they usually do when the data is critical, these hard disks should be directly taken to a firm that is specialized in data recovery. For example, previous happenings have showed that, when a RAID failure occurs and results in the loss of important data, somebody’s job is on the line! If the data is not recovered, then things get quite complicated, for the employee, as well as for the employer.

Therefore, the best action you can take in the situation of a Raid data recovery problem is to immediately send the hard disk to a specialized firm. Should a serious system failure occur, the whole pressure is transferred to the hard disk data recovery professionals. As the users are in the habit of starting troubleshooting processes in order to solve the problem, the data recovery experts must also repair the damage done by these processes, as they can make the data impossible to recover. The information involved in such a situation can cost many hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of dollars in labor and resources to create. This is the reason why the executives are not at all interested in finding out the cause of the failure, they just care about the fact that the server has crashed and that the problem must be immediately solved.

It is true that the Raid data recovery process can be pretty expensive, but in most cases it is nothing compared to trying to recreate the data that has been destroyed. Not to speak about the fact that getting the data back could be enough to save someone’s job!

The procedures that Raid data recovery consists of start by making sure all of the drives are properly functioning. This may mean taking the physically damaged drives into the clean room and try to make all the necessary repairs, in order for them to normally function again. The hard disk data recovery technician then initiates a very low-level process that allows him to work around bad sectors of the disk. It is in fact making complete sector-by-sector clones of every drive. The original source drive is being put in a “write protect” mode, in order to protect the existing data during the cloning process. The actual recovery process is performed on these cloned copies!

There are many elements that dictate the high price of the Raid data recovery process: the file system, the total size of the damaged drives and the situation of failure. Therefore, the best thing you can do is avoid the damage and a job loss by backing up your data!

How to configure a router

Original version by Lukasz Sawicki

Proper configuration of the router is the precondition for networking and Internet access. Let’s begin with the description of its functions. In general, router is a network device that is a communication node between the sending and receiving endpoint. The control of the traffic is called routing. Router creates a routing table or routing information base (RIB) that stores the best routes to certain network destinations, or the “routing metrics” associated with those routes, and the path to the next hop router. It allows to direct the packets to specified destinations. The routing process means interaction of at least two subnets.

The immense growth of the number of Internet users is the reason of remedial measures that overcome the limits of Ipv4 (Internet Protocol version 4). One of the measures is routing. It means linking of internal network with a pool of “private” IP addresses to the public network. Simply the router uses less (external) IP addresses than the number of supported computers in the local network. The diagram below depicts the typical solution.

Example of routing with NAT function

Router configuration example is based on the

TP-Link TL-WR542G device

Notice: TP-Link TL-WR542G N2950 does not support ADSL service (it is not equipped with ADSL modem).

Router connects two or more logical subnets, e.g. external network with Internet access (WAN) with local network (LAN), making a bridge for information exchange. Without proper configuration the connection will be impossible. In most cases, router acts as a specialized computer (replacing a standard computer) working in external network, with software and hardware tailored to the tasks of routing and forwarding. It allows to create internal (local) network.

In this case, the computer configuration involves:

taking down all settings of the NIC (working in external network),

IP address

Subnet mask

Default gateway

Preferred DNS server

changing the way of address assignment to dynamic (DHCP), or setting fixed IP address from the router’s range,

connecting the computer with LAN port of the router.

Example of assigning a fixed IP address for TCP/IP protocol. This option is used when the router does not assign addresses automatically. At this stage there is no need to enter default gateway nor DNS servers parameters.

After restarting the computer, there is possibility of connecting with the router (via Internet browser). The logged in user (the initial user name and password are given in the user’s manual) can configure the router.

The login window

The easiest way of configuring the router is use of “Quick Setup” option.

The first dialog box

To begin configuration we should choose Next.

It is important to select adequate kind of WAN connection type:

There are three possibilities:

PPPoE – in the case of network using PPPoE protocol (rather untypical),

Dynamic IP – the router will get IP address automatically (the most common option),

Static IP – in the case of fixed IP address.

Choice of WAN connection type

For Static IP option there are needed the settings of the NIC (to be entered). In the case of Dynamic IP this box will be omitted:

In this box there are entered adequate settings (previously taken down or given by the ISP)

After configuring WAN port parameters the next step is setup of Access Point:

Planning to use access point, it is needed:

to select suitable channel,

to set SSID,

to choose the region (country),

to set data encryption and cryptographic keys (in the tab Wireless >> Wireless Settings).

To start with, the concept of ‘Service Area (SA) Emulation Technology’ will be explained, which is also called ‘Hard Drive Firmware Service Area Emulation Technology’.

Emulation is used to describe a technology which duplicates (provide an emulation of) the functions of one system using different system, so that the second system behaves like the first system. It also refers to the ability of a computer program or electronic device to imitate another program or device. In reality, this technology has been applied to virtual computer system networks, such as virtual partition, virtual workstation, and virtual storage system. The virtual system is designed to accomplish a certain set of commands. The command set is used to reallocate the calculative resources which also enable the isolation of software, hardware, data, network system and storage system. Basically, the emulator is achieved by the emulation of the command set defined by desired system.

Emulator can be categorized into different types according to the objective simulated layers. Currently, there are 4 main types of emulations which are hardware emulation, logical emulation, software emulation and application emulation. The Hard Drive Firmware Service Area Emulation Technology has been introduced here. This is a new technology which is used to initialize the firmware information of a specific hard drive by loading predefined SA resource file onto the memory of the external emulator. In another word, the hard drive will boot itself from the information on the emulator rather than from the native firmware information. By using the SA emulator, user can access the data area directly without repairing the corrupted firmware. This technology is quite similar to the Hot Swap operation where the emulation of SA is achieved by a donor hard drive. Because of the nature of the adaptive information, many modern hard drives are not facilitated themselves to achieve a successful Hot Swap operation. But, by using an external SA emulator, this problem can be resolved.

A Hard Drive can be compared to a small computer. It employs microprocessors to control both the physical behaviour of the various electro-mechanical components, and the logical operations that store and retrieve data as an arrangement of the magnetic particles on the disk surface. This operation is completely independent of the operation of the host PC. Like any computer, the hard drive needs its own software to control the operation of the microprocessors, but unlike a PC this software is limited to the drive’s operational functionality, and is not (and under normal circumstances cannot be) changed by the user. This hard drive ‘software’ is, as a result, more usually referred to as ‘Firmware’. The firmware carries out a range of functions, from what might be termed ‘Analogue’ functions such as controlling the spinning of the disc and positioning of the read/write heads, as well as the ‘Digital’ functions used to pass data files to and from the PC, keeping track of the location and parameters of the data files stored, and many, many more. Without firmware the drive is simply a collection of electronic components.

Just as the software on a PC can have problems, so the firmware can also cause a hard drive to fail if it becomes lost or corrupted. Statistical analysis shows that up to 60% of hard drive problems are due to firmware failure. Firmware problems can arise from a range of causes:

•        Instability or failure of electronic components

•        Accidental or inadvertent removal of power to the drive

•        Deterioration of the magnetic response of the data recording surfaces

The latter cause is virtually inevitable over time, and the deterioration will accelerate the longer or more intensively the drive is used. Additionally the disk manufacturing process is not 100% perfect and as a result disks will commonly leave the factory already having problems with certain areas of the disk. These areas where the drive has problems correctly reading data from the disk are known as ‘Bad Sectors’. Sectors that fail simply because the data stored on them has become corrupted are known as ‘Logical’ bad sectors and these can be ‘repaired’ by re-recording  the data correctly or in the correct format, however areas with problems arising from the magnetic response of the disk surface failing are known as ‘Physical’ bad sectors, and these cannot be repaired. Bad sectors of either kind can occur both in the data storage area of drive, but also in a ‘reserved’ area dedicated to storage of part of the drive firmware called the ‘Service Area’. User data area bad sectors can cause the loss or corruption of data files or reduced performance of the drive, bad sectors in the firmware area can lead to the drive failing completely. As the firmware area needs to be accessed every time the computer is switched on and every time drive is accessed, the chance of bad sectors becoming a problem in this area is consequently higher.

Part of the data stored in the firmware Service Area is the so-called ‘P-List’. This is a list of known bad sectors detected as part of the post-manufacture testing process. Any sectors recorded in the P or ‘Production’ List will not be used for the storage of data, the firmware will automatically arrange the data around them. Additionally where the drive firmware detects further bad sectors arising from the normal day-to-day use of the drive, these sectors will be progressively added to a ‘G-List’ or ‘Grown’ list (again stored within the service area) and again these sectors will be avoided, with the firmware arranging data around them. This process takes place automatically, with the user largely if not completely unaware that it is being carried out.

Where firmware has suffered logical defects, the HD Doctor range of drive restoration tools can be used to diagnose and repair such problems. However where problems arise that is mainly due to physical defects then recovery of user data will be difficult if not impossible without the use of Data Compass.

As previously stated, bad sector problems only worsen every time the disk is accessed and the intensive read actions required to attempt to recover usable files from a disk are likely to be particularly detrimental, with a vicious cycle of ever increasing risk of data loss. On common approach used to overcome this problem is that of ‘cloning’. This involves taking an exact image of the disk contents, and then recovering the data from this cloned image rather than the original disk. Data Compass is particularly effective in producing such disk ‘images’ even from disks with serious bad sector problems.

Where the firmware, or the individual portions of ‘microcode’ or ‘Modules’ that make up the firmware become corrupted, this will often be indicated by either the drive not being detected correctly by the host PC (possibly shown as incorrect drive model, or with incorrect capacity displayed), or by being not detected by the PC at all. The HD Doctor tools can be used to correctly diagnose and repair such problems. The tool will allow the firmware modules to be tested or their content examined visually for defects, and where they are found to have problems they can be reloaded using ‘good’ modules obtained either from copies taken from matched ‘donor’ drives, or from libraries of firmware available for registered customers to download. However the subject of firmware is a complex one and firmware ‘architecture’ varies widely between different drive manufacturers and even between different drive ranges from the same manufacturer. Thus it can be difficult for a technician to become proficient in firmware repair without considerable experience or training.

Instances will also arise where firmware modules have been checked and found to be faulty and where, on uploading known ‘good’ copies back to the drive and re-checking the modules, they are still shown to be faulty. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to repair such modules, it may become rapidly evident that the faulty modules are arising due to physical defects in the firmware Service Area. Such defects cannot be repaired, and would, until the arrival of Data Compass have meant that drives suffering such problems would have been thought irrecoverable.

In Hitachi/IBM hard drives, once the corresponding resource files are loaded onto the RAM of the computer manually, the emulator (Data Compass) will stimulate the crucial firmware modules (e.g. PSHT, RSVD, RESF, RAMO, ZONE, SRVP) from the defective drive and try to create a link between the resource files and all the working modules. Once the link is established successfully, the emulator will enable the access of the user data area, in which case the drive will behave working properly.

You may see 2 different diagnostic results if you use the HD Doctor to diagnose the Hitachi drive with one of the firmware failures mentioned above. The HD Doctor will check the integrity of the modules of Hitachi drives by looking at the header and footer. The actual content of the modules will not be gone through due to there is no CRC checksum algorithm exists on Hitachi drives. There is no way to tell if the actual content of modules is good or bad unless checking manually. In another word, either logical defects or physical defects in service area will not be detected by any diagnostic tools. Figure 1 shows the situation when the headers and/or footer of the modules are corrupted where the HD Doctor is able to detect. Figure 2 shows the situation when there is nothing wrong with the headers and footers. In figure 2, it doesn’t imply that the actual content of the modules are good if the drive is not recognized.

The general diagnostic procedure for checking and restoring firmware modules of Hitachi drives is:

•        Load the defective drive from external resource file (HD Doctor has integrated the resource files for all the series of Hitachi/IBM laptop and desktop drives);

•        Do a complete firmware scan;

•        If the scan result shows the error modules, try to replace the corrupted modules from a donor drive;

•        If the scan result shows no error modules but the drive is still not being recognized, it implies that there are physical defects in one or more of the modules. Manually going through each module is required to find out which one is damaged. When it is found, try to replace it from a donor drive;

•        After the replacement, if the drive is still not being recognized, then do a firmware scan or manual checking again. You may find the damaged module contains the ‘4040’ in a certain area, as shown in figure 3. We classified this area as physical defect in service area.

•        Load the drive from file again and try to view sector, as show in figure 4. You may find that the user data area is accessible even without any replacement of damaged modules.

There is no way to restore the files from this kind of failure Hitachi drives until the SA Emulation Technology has been introduced. As the arrival of Data Compass, it provides a complete solution for data recovery from Hitachi drives.  It also brings you into a new generation of recovering data without firmware repair.

Deciding that you want to spend a bit of time dabbling on some of the various social networking sites available can seem like a huge leap into the internet. After all, the choices and ranges of websites available to use are almost unlimited, yet there is something intriguing about many of the various components. The main purpose of social networking website software is to allow people to come together to share experiences and make friends, the exact way the sites work is usually not as important to most users, but most people are quite excited to learn that they can make friends.

Using social networking website software you can create a very powerful network of friends and even stay in connection with your family quite easily, plus you are able to communicate with everyone quickly, rather than having to always send separate messages to everyone. This can be a huge help in times when you are really busy, and sites like MySpace are designed to fit perfectly into these ideas. For those who are trying to make a lot of new friends MySpace can sometimes seem a bit overwhelming, yet it is one of the most effective tools available today.

In the past, many people had to spend hours searching around online for people who share similar interests, live in a close area or try to narrow down other factors such as age and gender. Tools such as what MySpace offers make it quite easy to use their social networking website software to find exactly what you are looking for in friends. By looking in either broad terms or even narrow terms you can quickly and easily determine if you are interested in being someone’s friend. This can save you a lot of time, and help you target people who are likely to have something in common.

A lot of the work that MySpace has put into the site has gone to help communication overall as well, especially in terms of allowing people to communicate together. By combining together video, pictures, messenger, instant messages and even bulletin boards people are able to communicate together in the way that they are most comfortable with. In an increasingly busy world this is a huge help, you can use the forms of communication that you are comfortable with, while skipping those that are not as comforting for you. This also allows you to expand whom you are able to communicate with as well, which allows you to really maximize your ability to use social networking website software.

Looking towards the future, social networking website software has the greatest ability to grow and expand. While many programs that are required to be downloaded in order to function have limited usage, those that are web based tend to have a much broader reach, plus the advantage of not requiring software on the computer itself in order to actually use the features. MySpace has certainly paid attention to many of the requests and demands of users and all of this adds up to an incredible website for most people to use. Full of features and useful tools MySpace has been well known as being one of the best social networking website software packages and continues to show their dominance in the field. As everything continues to expand, MySpace continues to grow, and over time newer and smaller sites have emerged as well. The result has amazingly been MySpace’s ability to keep their strong user based despite the large number of competition sites that have sprung up in recent years.

Keeping at the top of the social networking website software ladder certainly has not been easy, the internet is always changing and keeping on top of issues is something that requires a very large commitment. MySpace has worked well with many people over the years and has ensured that the vast majority of users are all able to understand the entire process, regardless of their experience on computers. For those who are simply looking for a way to connect with friends and family there are few sites that are as good as MySpace.

The world is ever changing; MySpace has helped people bridge the very far gaps that tend to separate family and friends. By keeping the lines of communication open, the possibilities that people have open to them now are quite large and provide plenty of ways to express yourself like never before. Using the internet, you will be amazed at just how much you can really do with social networking website software, and the possibilities will continue to grow.

Imagine yourself living in a limited space in the city and yet enjoying the greenery right at the comfort of your simple abode. Impossible you say, but not anymore.

Introducing to the world the modern day greenhouse: HYDROPONICS.

What is Hydroponics? Hydroponics is your solution to having your own vegetation or gardening contained in your restricted place of living. It only needs water, nutrients and lighting. You don’t have to own a huge place in the country to have your own gardening since Hydroponics does not need a big amount of space.

If you plan to have this modern day greenhouse, then all you have to bear in mind is the important materials to consider:

Initially, you must have a Grow Box or the Hydroponic method to perform as an ecological unit for your indoor garden. Since this can be grown within the interior of your dwelling, you don’t have to place the grow box outside because the method can be concealed from outside weather. Definitely a great help to those living in condominiums or places with restricted spaces.

Then you must have these important mechanisms to proceed with your indoor gardening, the Outer Shell, the Lighting, the Hydroponic Bucket and ballast. The Outer shell will serve as the casing or covering of the ecosystem so as that the lighting that you will put will not be wasted and will only be directed to the plants. The lighting will now then work as the sunlight for your plants and the Hydroponic bucket as the most important foundation of the hydroponic activity, which only needs water and nutrients.

Now that you have the necessary materials, it’s time to identify the different areas for growth within the grow box.

1.    Mother/Clone area. This is the first phase, where your plants will be placed. This is the area where to grow these plants in soil, and lighting is provided in the grow box for their continuous development. Now that you have the plants in the mother area, you may take cuttings from them, and place them now in the clone area. These clones will eventually become tiny plants. The mother plant can be used many times, which saves lots of money and time.

2.     Vegetative Area. After cutting from the mother plant and placing it in the next area, the vegetative area, and your tiny plants will develop into baby size plants. Let these baby plants stay in this area for a while until their roots will be long enough to be transferred to the next area, which is the flowering stage. Again, this area has its own lighting system.

3.    Flowering Area is the final stage of the hydroponic method. The baby plants that are placed in this area will stay for about a month until they are fully grown, where a separate lighting system will take care of their growth process. Once they reached maturity, you can already harvest them and enjoy the fruit of your month long labor. Not bad for indoor gardening. Once you have already harvested your plants, you must have other plants in the 2nd area or the vegetative stage waiting to be transferred in the flowering stage. Simple, right?

Now that you have the knowledge on the different stages to consider, then its time to know more on the technicalities of hydroponics, the lighting system. As in any form of gardening, we all know that lighting is the most important factor to consider, especially in grow box method. You don’t need to purchase powerful lights that consume lots of energy. All you need is the best type of lighting that is essential in hydroponic, the HPS. HPS means high pressure sodium. HPS uses very minimal energy but gives off powerful lighting that the plants will need in the grow box. A full 6 foot grow box consumes energy as little as your living room television. Grow boxes initially uses 400w or 600w HPS lamp. These wattages ensure full growth potential of your plants without consuming excess energy.

You have now the basics in indoor gardening, so its time to look for the right place to get your grow boxes. Buy only from reputable dealers of grow boxes, which will give you full support.

NaturesHydro will not only help you in setting up your very first grow box, but will be there 24/7 to take care of all your needs. Just visit their website, www.natureshydro.com, where you will learn even more on the different mechanisms of hydroponic.

When a couple is trying to conceive, there is a lot going on. The conditions need to be optimal for embryo implantation. Everything needs to be timed just right in order for pregnancy to occur. The thing is, in some couples, this process could take a while. Or worse, it may never happen. Fertility is an issue with a lot of couples today. Thankfully, there are things that can be done to help speed the process up. But to those who are able to go through the process of embryo implantation naturally, it can save a lot of heartache and money.

Embryo implantation refers to when the egg is fertilized by the sperm and then travels down the fallopian tube to attach to the uterus. This is a vital part of the process because the uterus is designed to hold the developing fetus. As the cells grow and the fetus develops, the uterus expands to accommodate it. This is rare, but in some women embryo implantation happens outside the uterus. This can be painful and lead to deformed children and even death in childbirth. If you think this may be happening to you it is best to go and see a doctor.

The process of embryo implantation is one that is essential to childbirth. But when a couple is infertile, this process cannot happen naturally. There are some things that can be done. Embryo implantation can take place in a test tube. The doctor would harvest one of the eggs from the women and implant it with sperm from the make. The fertilized egg is then implanted in the woman and the rest of the process of childbirth happens naturally. There are also some other things that can be done such as having a surrogate mother.

If you want to get pregnant, embryo implantation is an essential part of that process. The egg needs to get fertilized and travel down the fallopian tubes to the uterus. If something in this natural process is disrupted it is best to see a doctor. Also, if you are having trouble conceiving, there are other things that can be done such as fertilizing the egg in a test tube. No matter what your situation is, make sure you discuss all your options with your doctor.

It can happen in an instant.  Just a bump of that glass of water or cup of tea, and you instantly have a collection of damaged photos.  Regardless of how quick you are to towel off the liquid the damage has already been done.  Your photos will forever bear the watermarks from your moment of carelessness.

If this scenario sounds familiar, you need to know that putting up with damaged photos is a thing of the past.  You no longer have to tolerate the stains, tears, creases, or other damage that can occur to you photographs over the years.  The solution is as close as your own computer.

Modern digital technology makes it possible to scan your photos into your computer, and then email the files to a professional photo restoration specialist.  Depending on the type and amount of work you are having done, you could have your restored photos back as early as the next day.

By using graphic software, restoration specialists are able to repair the damaged areas by replacing those portions of the photo with undamaged portions that were copied from other locations on the photo.  This process, called cloning, is finished be having the edges of the repaired areas smoothed so that the repairs blend in with the undamaged portions of the photo.  The repairs are virtually invisible to most people.

Is this something that you could do on your own with a commercially available graphics software program?  Yes, but it is not an easy task, and you will probably not be as happy with the results.

Photo restoration specialists typically are better equipped to do the kind of fine detail work that is required for most repairs.  They have computers that are set up to work with graphics, they have software that is a higher quality than most home users own, and they have monitors that allow them to zoom in on small areas without losing any resolution.

These three things make it possible for the specialist to make detailed alterations to the photos.  If you were to try to make these kinds of detailed changes on your own you would most likely not be able to make the alterations invisible.  You would lose some detail, and the detail that you did have would appear blurred or misaligned in the areas you worked on.

For the best results, you should consider sending your damaged photos to a specialist.  They will have your repairs returned to you much faster than you could do for yourself, and the results will be a professional quality photo.

Lysine and arginine are two common amino acids found in foods. They are the two most widely researched nutrients that affect cold sores.

Here is how they work.

The herpes simplex virus is the root cause of all cold sores. A virus particle will enter a nerve cell at the surface and force it to create new virus. It will then explode the cell to release the cloned virus thus creating a huge open wound.

One of the main ingredients the cell must have to create new herpes virus is arginine. Your cells have special receptors that they use to store arginine.

The same receptors are used to store lysine. Lysine is a protein that cannot be used to create new virus.

If you have a diet rich in lysine, your cells will discard some arginine to store more lysine. The herpes virus, looking to clone itself, will avoid the cells that cannot support the cloning process.

Whenever your cells have a higher lysine than arginine content, it discourages creation of new virus. This often sends the herpes virus back into a latent state. You will not get a cold sore if the cells cannot create virus.

These are a few of the foods to avoid with cold sores. Arginine levels are higher than lysine levels in these selections.

—- Chocolate (ouch)

—- Nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts

—- Flax, sesame and most other seeds

—- Any seafood that has a shell such as shrimp and oysters

—- Grains such as wheat and oats

—- Oranges, grapes and other fruits and berries

—- Most vegetables are neutral but avoid rutabagas, winter squash and pumpkins, broccoli, carrots and corn

Fact is – it can be hard to avoid certain foods. Some should not be avoided. You will notice many of the foods on the avoid list have a high nutritional value and are important for your optimal health. You probably would not hurt yourself by avoiding these foods for just a week or so.

However, for optimal health, you should not avoid these foods for any length of time. Do not use avoidance of these foods as a method to prevent cold sores. To do so could weaken your immune system. This could actually cause more cold sores, rather than less.

An excellent alternative solution to avoiding foods you love is to increase your lysine during your cold sore event. Increasing intake of lysine will also help prevent future cold sores.

The following foods are higher in lysine and can be used to balance out the high arginine foods to avoid with cold sores – especially during the outbreak.

All dairy products are rich in lysine, such as cheeses, yogurt, and whole milk. Other lysine rich foods include chicken, beef, beets, apricots, figs, avocado, apples and soybeans. Fish is a particularly good source of lysine, especially flounder.

Yes, I realize following a restricted diet is difficult for most people. Also, dairy products may be rich in lysine but cannot be tolerated by some folks. Fact is, I have not followed these avoidance guidelines very good myself.

For a large number of people, an easy and powerful alternative to this restricted diet is to take lysine as a supplement. Lysine is available anywhere you find vitamins. It is normally found in 500 mg. capsules. Taking four to eight capsules daily during a cold sore and one to two capsules daily between cold sores is common.

Is lysine safe to take in large quantity?

Lysine is perfectly safe. Eight capsules daily is only 4000 mg., or 4 grams. No bad side effects have ever been noted. You often exceed this just by eating food alone. A four-ounce serving of flounder, for example, will provide the equivalent of 4 to 5 grams of lysine. The capsules are just more convenient.

Do not give up the foods you love – especially chocolate. Eat additional high lysine food or take lysine capsules. This will cancel out the bad effects of the foods to avoid with cold sores.

December 4, 2009 – Any DVD Cloner Platinum 1.0.2 is released to let you successfully copy Transformers 2, Star Trek XI, Up, Bolt, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, Live Free or Die Hard, Escape from Guantanamo Bay, and more popular DVD movies which are attempted to prevent copying by creating bad sectors or bad DVD structure which will cause the burning process to fail.

The latest version is available to download at: http://www.any-dvd-cloner.com/

The most significant improvements and fixes in the V1.0.2 release include the following:

1. Cloner Platinum crashed just before reaching the end of the ripping step while copying some new released DVD movies.(improved)

2. Cloner Platinum took a long time to scan a DVD but eventually failed to open up DVD movies while using Highly Enhanced open method.(fixed)

3. Cloner Platinum was unable to judge the real main movie title correctly while copying some new movies like Transformer 2 and Up. (fixed)

4. Cloner Platinum failed to detect bad cell in the main movie title while using default Normal open method.(improved)
