Sometimes you delete some important file by mistake, or worser, you crash your entire partition or format it to reinstall Windows, and then you remember that you forgot to backup some important file. The kind of programs that can save you in these situations are called data recovery software. Some people are forced to pay big amounts of money to bring their hard drives to specialists that use that software to recover lost data. Anyway, there are some affordable alternatives for this. One of them is this program that you can test: Handy Recovery. It is able to recover deleted files from hard drives, and also performs data and image recovery on memory cards like those used for digital cameras (CompactFlash, SmartMedia, MultiMedia and Secure Digital cards). It can restore files deleted from the recycle bin, or corrupted by viruses or power failures. Also with encrypted and compressed files. You can do it by yourself without having to pay a service that would always be much more expensive. In addition, if you have the software, you can use it many times. When you run the program, it analyzes your hard drive, memory card, etc. Then it displays a explorer tree view of the contents of your drive. It marks deleted files with red crosses. Thus, you can see the deleted files with the current ones, in their original places before you deleted them. You can select a file, and its contents will be shown in a preview window under the explorer. The program is really intuitive and easy to use. It has a toolbar with big icons for the most common functions. It has an internal search engine and a filter for searching for a specific file type, or for showing only deleted files. These two functions can also be combined. When you have located the file that you want to restore, then use the restore button to recover it. The program saves the restored file in the folder that you specify. You can also restore a complete folder, not only files. You can test Handy Recovery downloading the free demo, that runs in all Windows OS, no matter what file system they use. It is certified for Windows XP and Vista by Microsoft.

So if some day all your computer crashes or is attacked by a virus, it's not the end. It has a solution.

Frederik Magle (born in 1977) is a Danish compositor. He started to compose when he was only 5 years old, and his first public performance was at the age of 8. Frederik Magle, in addition of being a brilliant compositor, is also a soloist on piano and pipe organ. His music is classical contemporary, but he also mixes it with other genres, like jazz, rock, ethnic and electronica. As a soloist, he has played in Saint Peter's Basilica of Rome, in the Windsor Castle... and in 1999 in the baptism of Prince Nikolai, and after that he was invited to perform an organ concert for the Danish Royal Family at Fredensborg Castle. He has an endless list of remarkable performances. His music has been performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and many more important orchestras all over the world. He has received many prizes and awards, recognizing the greatness of his work. Between them, there are the Grants of Her Majesty The Queen of Denmark and H.R.H. Prince Henrik, The Grant of H.H. Prince Joachim and H.H. Princess Alexandra, and The Arts Award of the Freemasons (2001). In his website you can listen to some of his pieces, available as music downloads. He also has a forum, a list of concerts, photos of him, and lists of edited CDs. He keeps a close contact with his admirers, which shows not only talent but also generosity, sensibility, to be a great person. Between the musics that you can download in his website, you can find "Souffle le vent", which is the first movement of the symphonic poem "Cantabile". This poem was played in 2004 by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, in celebration of the Prince Consort's 70th birthday. It's an exceptional piece. It has the strength of the greatest classical European symphonies. It is full of passion, with powerful chorus that evoke a tragic love. "The Hope" is magnificent, of an heroic nature. It is based in a Danish hero called Olfert Fischer. It has many changes: it's melancholic, triumphant, with great doses of suspense. "Lullaby" is a romantic piece, full of feeling and warmth. Frederik Magle in person is the performer of this score. I think that there's some influence of Debussy: natural, fresh, but also mysterious. "Journey in Time" is a violin and piano performance, with very intense rhythms, very virtuous, and charming. It's like a voyage through the different styles of piano and violin, each one competing to show their beauty. "Cantilena" is performed by Magle as pipe organ soloist. It has some sort of Medieval atmosphere, and some Irish influence, and is very dreamy. Frederik Magle, a brilliant compositor that must be a essential listening for all those who love music.

This song is called "Couldn't stand the weather" and is by Stevie Ray Vaughan. You can find it in "Stevie Ray Vaughan and double trouble". If you love the guitar, if you love the blues, you have to hear this catchy song. Stevie Ray Vaughan was a bluesman who played the guitar as few people have played this instrument. If you sometimes had thought in playing the guitar it's not difficult that you had found a score of this great artist. It’s very usual to talk about the weather. When you don’t know of what to talk it's a recurring conversation. In the work, in the elevator, with your neighbours... And everybody likes to see the weather in TV, or in the newspaper. We love to make predictions about if it's going to rain or it's going to be a sunny day. We watch the clouds as they were mysterious enigmas to solve. As many of my readers are bloggers, I have found something interesting for them. Blogskinny.com offers a weather widget. Now we can have a look to weather in the blogs too. You only have to put your US zip code and voila!!!. Information about wind, rain, temperature... It's a pity that it is only for USA people. But who can, enjoy it. Here you are the widget: This has several colors to choose: And this has a more complete information: Ahh!!! And if you don't like the weather just like Stevie Ray, you can always stay at your home and read this blog ;)
