Windows 7 professional, 32bit, Critical error, Kernel-Power, event Id: 41' task cat: 63 Troubleshooting kernel-power event id 41 can be one of the most frustrating issues to troubleshoot because there isn't a universal cause for it. A lot of people experience this problem for so many different reasons; think of it as a doctor treating a disease but every patient exhibits different symptoms and no two patients have the same virus (metaphorically speaking). It's either going to be a software/driver issue or a hardware issue. A lot of people speculate that if the Stop Error BugcheckCode and the PowerButtonTimestamp both have an integer value of "0" then it's hardware related, but this is only supposition and not definitive. There's a lot you can do to troubleshoot this error, and believe me when I say a lot, but before I get into any of that let's try two simple steps.

Overcoming being the scapegoat Ya know....I blamed my parents and ex husband for years for my drinking and anger...gosh, there was so much anger. I felt like my whole childhood was ripped from me . I got married at a really young age to escape from a very over-protected home and right into an abusive marraige that freaked me out the first time I got hit physically...AND, still had to go to high school with two black eyes and lie about it. So, I know the blame and anger thing really well. My son has done the same thing to me and so I do understand that part and yes, I did hurt my son by not emotionally being there for him. But, my Dad got colon cancer in 1996 and by then, I had quit drinking and somehow knew that my Dad was sick even before he was diagnosed. She couldn't......I could. I got to spend 18 months with my dad just being him and there were no walls between us, only an amazing amount of love being shared. I know that they don't want to go to therapy for fear of what they might see. Hugs!!

As part of his work for the HoTEL Project (Holistic Approach to Technology Enhanced Learning), Millwood created this guide to learning theories. On his blog, Millwood describes his motivation to collect information and resources about learning theories featured in the map: Learning theory has been a contested scientific field for most of its history, with conflicting contributions from many scientific disciplines, practice and policy positions.
