Clonzilla on Surface Pro 3 -- Bitlocker Encrypted Partition

My Surface Pro 3 recently stopped working. Here's how I imaged it onto the replacement Surface Pro 3.

NOTES: Be sure that you've updated all devices to the latest firmware, or step 5 below won't work. Other explanations of the process below assume you're connected to a domain or that your drive is NOT encrypted, but in fact, if your computer is a personal one (like mine), your Bitlocker encryption key has already been saved to OneDrive, and your drive is indeed encrypted (Full Disk Encryption) via TPM.

Clonezilla to Clone Bigger to Smaller drive (e.g., SSD)

Here are the steps to easily clone a larger hard drive (Drive1) to a smaller SSD hard drive (Drive2) for free--something I do frequently to speed up a PC without purchasing a new one.

Assumptions

  1. You know the basics of Clonezilla, GParted, and partitioning.
  2. You want to clone locally--that is, disk-to-disk (though this procedure likely works with images too)
  3. You've already connected Drive1 and Drive2 to the computer (e.g., use the CD-ROM's SATA and power cables)

Oxford Seminars Business Module Review - Teaching Business English Specialization Module Review

BACKGROUND

A Google search for Oxford Seminars Business English Reviews shows, as of 8-13-2012, precious little useful content.

Possessive Plural: showing quantities per possessor

I just posted this question at Wordreference: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=2470982&p=12436746#post12436746 Regarding the possessive plural: 1 cat: A cat's toy. 2+ cats: The cats' toys.

(one toy per cat?) 2+ cats: The cats' toys. (multiple toys per cat?)

Le in ándale, córrele, dale -- particle, leísmo?

I just spent 15 minutes reading every forum post for ándale but still haven't found a satisfactory grammatical explanation of Le in these primarily Mexican expressions: ándale, córrele, dale.

but in another thread, one poster called it a particle:
