What is the thumbs.db file in windows?You might have noticed that there is a hidden file called thumbs.db created in some folders. This file is automatically created within a folder when the thumbnails view is used to view that folder.This is file is not a virus and many people take it so.This file just contains information for windows, to display the thumbnail of a picture as the icon of that fol
So I’m not quite sure what is going on with my camera and why this picture is so damn blurry. Maybe the lens needs to be cleansed of Cara finger prints? Maybe the camera is having emotional issues since it is a well known fact that cameras do have emotions.
Whatever the case, I figured that [...]
We had the Christmas lights turn on the other day at our community Christmas tree on the green . This wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the very kind donations made by the residents, which enabled us to purchase the solar powered Christmas lights. The lights were purchased from earthwhile and solar kits direct . The picture doesn't do the lights justice as they are very bright and work

Despite the gays going crazy over Robert Pattinson, who seems to never wash or comb his hair, or perhaps because the gays are crazy over the movie Twilight, critics are giving the movie a big thumbs down. The book has been a big seller, but that doesn’t mean the movie will be great. Harry Potter has been the exception.
Roger Ebert gave Twilight only 2 and a half stars, Variety says Twilight
President Bush has insisted for over a year there is need for a missile defense system in Poland to protect Europe against missiles from “rogue” nations like Iran or North Korea.

Has anyone ever seen the film Mileage of the Rams?It's a very touching love story between a salesman at a Dodge dealership and a poor but beautiful girl who washes vehicles there. I have to say some of it is pretty predictable like the sleazy rival salesman and the love making in the box of the Ram 3500 Mega Cab. Despite being in the back of a truck it could've turned out beautifully if it wasn't

Including gay characters on your TV show is good, unless it's two lesbians who fall in love with a straight man, as they do in a storyline on New Amsterdam.

Where is everybody?A very big disappointment for Richard Barnbrook BNP mayoral candidate, this morning. After going to all the expense of hiring armour, horse and a green fluffy dragon suit, at 11.00am the man who hopes to get elected to the London Assembly on 1 May got on his horse (well pony) and led a parade – or rather a group that struggled to get into double figures – from the Broadway Theatre in Barking, down East Street and terminating at Barking Park.It was all over in 30 minutes, no masses of adoring flag waving crowds, in fact nobody at all other than the eight police officers on bikes with their Inspector.Dicky was not a happy bunny and was last seen heading for the Capt Cook to drown his sorrows.We wonder whether he has to declare the costs of this farce on his election e

The guys' pizzas − heavy on the meatTo summarize the pizza and a movie party:Food: goodCompany: goodParty planning: badMovie: very loud!Because of the water situation (it didn't come back until about 3 p.m.), I was horribly behind schedule. But that worked out okay because half of our guests were almost three hours late. I was glad! I kept the first guests satisfied with veggies and ranch dip while I continued preparing the pizza ingredients.Pizzas were a great idea! They loved them and it was so much fun. Also, since only a few pizzas were prepared and baked at a time, there was less pressure on me, hostess, cook, dish washer, and waitress, to get everything ready and serve it all at once.The breakfast room table was big enough (and in close proximity to the television) that we could r
Four times a week I report for work in one of Ithaca College's computer labs. We get hated on when things break, and we're expected to be tech-geniuses, but one thing we do know a lot about is paper. We try and save where we can by making all the computers default to double sided printing and putting up our policies about one final copy or multiple PowerPoint slides per page. But in the end it's no surprise that no one listens.I have come to terms with the fact that every shift I've had to throw at least a ream of unclaimed print-outs into the recycling bin.

I ran by this place on my way home on Friday, and I had heard from some co-workers that it was a good place. The prices were far better than the "Haggenese" you can buy at Haggen's grocery store here in Bellingham, and the food was a lot better. We tried: Pineapple Chicken, Sweet N Sour Pork, Mongolian Beef, and Teriyaki Chicken. I'm a bit tired of the sweet, but the Pineapple Chicken was not as overbearing with the sweetness as the Sweet N Sour Pork was...but you have to expect that. The Mongolian Beef was delicious, I couldn't really eat it because it was VERY spicy, but my husband had wanted it so I bought some for him (we shared our entrees over the course of the last two nights). The Teriyaki Chicken was my daughter's favorite.I plan on trying their BBQ next. They have so many differ

It also leads to problems when calling a name across the house and neither child quite catching which one is being called.Problem two: They're so unusual that they will lead to teasing and don't give the child room to grow in whatever field they want.

We hit a vegetarian Indian for lunch, but once we got past the access issue, we sat at a table in the small crowded restaurant and tied Smudge’s lead to a chair leg. For the entire meal, he stayed quietly under the table (good boy). Chutneys provides an all-you-can-eat buffet for about £6 and it is great value. A notice on the wall made me laugh - “One plate each please”. The food was good, very filling, and there was lots to choose from. There were about six different curries and chutneys - they even had apple chutney and lemon chutney which was delightful. For pudding I had Gulaab Jamun (very sweet dough balls, like mini doughnuts) with rice pudding and fruit. We had Tikka beer and Kingfisher beer - the Tikka had quite a striking taste to it but the Kingfisher was more mellow. They sell organic red wine at only £8.95 a bottle. The atmosphere is
I am still waiting for my site’s control panel to be accessible again. It was up when I checked before work, but I didn’t have the time to do the deed.
Tomorrow will be my last day of work for the year. Holiday pay and a three-day department shutdown will give me an eleven-day vacation.
I’d like to use this much-needed break to my advantage, but I don’t see that happening. I see myself being bored (for once), staying up too late and sleeping in.
A tentative plan is to visit family in Corpus with my mom and my bro. I hope that goes through. I also plan on catching up on some reading. I have this habit of buying books and letting them sit around for months and months before I read them (with the exception of comics of course).
Work will probably be painfully slow and unproductive tomorrow. Eight more hours to go. Tonight, I will check my host’s neglect and hopefully get this site moved later tonight. I’m planning for 12/21 ’cause the date’s

I was really looking forward to our christmas party as we had booked a room in a Thai restaurant and Thai is one of my favourite cuisines. Busaba Eathai is a chain created by Alan Yau, they guy behind Wagamama’s, the fantastic Japanese ramen noodle resaurants. There are usually long queues outside and you’re not able to make reservations. So we booked their private room for our christmas party. The ambience is nice, dark and moody with dim lighting and dark woods. They have Wagamama-style communal benches and tables, so it’s not intimate-dinner-for-two style, you can’t lean back in your chair, it’s busy, it’s more like a factory, and you’re sharing your table with strangers. This means it’s hard to have a decent conversation without distraction and people seem to be shouting at each other, so the private room suited me much better as it was quieter, with just one long table which seated up to 25.
I saw the floors were slate, and the wal
This restaurant has a varied menu which boasts tasty Italian dishes such as pasta and pizza with toppings of your choice. This branch of ASK also offers a takeaway service.
We had trouble the moment we walked in.
- No dogs!
- He’s an assistance dog.
- No sorry, we can’t allow dogs in here.
- Can I speak to the manager please.
The manager came out and he was perfectly happy to let us come in and eat. Oh, the embarrassment, though! We were shown to a table right at the back, away from all the other customers, which suited me fine as it was a little quieter there. Things got better as the waiter asked if Smudge would like some water and brought over a bowl, and gave him a few pats on the head throughout our meal.
The selection of food wasn’t great - just pizza and pasta, without any main meat or fish dishes and a single choice of beer. We had garlic bread to start which was ok, just like those in Poppadom Express. The mains were OK but just like “best-of” r

Okay... this is late... really, really late, but it's finals week and, well... here you are.Once again, I was in Comp and bored out of my mind. My Prof was going over something about the next essay or something, but I couldn't bring myself to pay attention. He constantly just rambles on about the same things, sort of like I do, I suppose, but I like to think I'm more interesting. I saw the following on The Colbert Report a while ago, I have no idea when the episode aired because it was recorded on my DVR, but apparently Al Gore is cuter than Bitsy. War! According to Washington Monthly, the SEC sucks. Of course, I always knew this about the SEC and the south in general, but it's nice to be vindicated. Score one for the Midwest! Also, The M Zone on the awesome speed and competition of SEC football. Knowing my readership, you've heard of Measure for Measure, but I certainly hadn't before I read the thing. It's not a bad play, I suppose, but not much really happens.
A group of us and two Hearing Dogs (Smudge and Harry) descended upon Lorenzo in Crystal Palace for a home cooked Italian meal. This restaurant is on the High Street and close to the tube station, so it’s easy to get to.
This restaurant looks really small from the outside but there are three floors. It looked good n busy! I was wondering how noisy this place is going to be … am I going to enjoy this night out as none of my friends in this group can sign. I can’t relax if I am struggling to lip read people against a constant din, it’s really hard work. We were shown to a large table in the corner downstairs and were promptly attended to by a polite and efficient waiter, who brought us wine. The place began to fill up with families and couples, it had a friendly bustle and the waiting staff were attentive.
The starters and main course arrived quickly, we didn’t feel we were left waiting long for each course. For a starter I had Hot Spinach Bake - a huge
I went to see a fashion exhibition at the V&A museum in South Kensington. This glamorous exhibition focuses on Parisian and British couture between 1947-1957, a decade that Christian Dior described as the "Golden Age' of fashion. On display are stunning gowns and exquisite tailoring from designers such as Balenciaga, Norman Hartnell, Balmain and Givenchy, and Dior.
Dior's launch of the "New Look' for his first collection in 1947 shocked and delighted the fashion world, creating a new style that symbolised femininity. The full skirts and hour-glass silhouettes were considered highly decadent, synonymous with luxury, opulence and prosperity, following the austerity of the war years.
The exhibition explores the creation of couture design from the post war era to the global success of the major fashion brands by the late 1950s, at which point fashion began to change, influenced by the "youth-quake' of the early 60s. The skill and craftsmanship of haute couture is show,
After a bit of negativity I thought it might be time to have a positive post. So I had a look around to find one that was nice, so without further ado, singer Heather Payne welcomed daughter Ava Corinne.http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2007/11/heather-payne-w.htmlGrade: A -Comments: Both Ava and Corinne are lovely names. Both a timeless, classic and feminine names which sound elegant when paired together. Few marks off for Ava being so common, and for Corrine ending in an "N" sound when her last name also does. Apart from that, two lovely names which sound very pretty together.What to work on for next time: Choosing names which aren't so trendy, and making sure that names don't end in the same sound.
Singer and actor Joey McIntyre has welcomed a baby son, Griffin Thomashttp://www.celebrity-babies.com/2007/11/joey-mcintyre.htmlGrade: A+Comments: This is a perfect example of an unusual name being used correctly. The name is unusual, without being crazy, and fits as a name. They've also paired the unusual name with a traditional name "Thomas," so that if Griffin grows up to be a bland accountant with a wife and 1.5 kids he can go by Thomas without much difficulty. Not only that, but the middle "M" sound in Thomas flows well with the starting "M" sound in his surname, McIntyreWhat to work on for next time: Nothing!!

Kevin O'Connor from Amazing race fame has welcomed triplets a few months ago, two boys and a girl, Brian Sean, Alexis Elaine and Colin James.http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2007/11/introducing-bri.htmlGrade: AComments: This names a really nice. I saw them and they made me smile. After all the trash we see in Baby Names these days, especially from celebrities, these names are like a breath of fresh air. I really love Alexis Elaine and Colin James. Colin especially is a really nice, uncommon name for a little boy. Very adorable! A few marks off for Brian's first and middle name both ending in N, but apart from that, all blue skies.What to work on for next time: Not much! Just making sure first and middle names don't end in the same letters.
Everywhere I look I see thumbs.db!
What the hell is it I hear you say? Well …. the short answer …. it’s a Bill Gates invention.
In short the Windows operating system produces this file when items in a folder are displayed as thumbnails (as opposed to tile, icon, list, or detail view). I wouldn’t be so put out by thumbs.db only for the fact that each and every thumbs.db file takes up valuable space on my hard drive.
The thumbs.db file is a database file. No harm is done by deleting thumbs.db files. There is no need to include them in your system backups. Whether you see these files or not is a function of your File Options settings. So get rid of them!!
