It has been awhile since the last discussion on Leave no Trace, but not because we forgot, just got real busy.
So we will be picking it up today with Respecting Wildlife.
The first and foremost thing to know about respecting Wildlife is that it is WILD life!!
It will hurt you, no matter how cute it is or fuzzy, or cool.
As much as we respect the mountain because it can be a dangerous place, or the river, or other situations, we need to be mindful that while most wildlife can adapt to consistant patterns of human activity, it is best to learn about wildlife through quiet observation.
That is to say…
Do not approach or follow wildlife for a "Better look". Carry binoculars or a spotting scope or even the telephoto lens of your camera to view wildlife from observation areas and trails.
Observe wildlife from a distance so they are not scared or forced to flee.
Other things to consider:
Do not feed wildlife, or leave food for wildlife to eat after you are gone. This gets the animals to expect food. Humans become beacons for wildlife that have been fed.
Use a "Bear bag", or container to store food in camp. Do not let the critters get into your food. They will expect it from then on, that will endanger campers that follow.
Be quiet when you expect wildlife to be around. It is their house.. be respectful.
Allow animals to have access to their natural water holes. Do not block access, or disturb water areas that have visible animal tracks.
Respecting Wildlife not only is safe, but it creates an environment that we can exist in the wilderness with wildlife. They are beautiful creatures, but if you do not give them the respect due, you can get hurt or create an environment unsafe for campers that come after you.
Happy Scouting!

Diller honored for design work
Posted October 28, 2005; 06:30 p.m.
Elizabeth Diller, professor of architecture, and her partners in the
New York design firm of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, have received the
2005 Architecture Design Award from the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt
National Design Museum.
Launched in 2000 as an official project of the White House Millennium Council, the annual awards program "celebrates design in various disciplines as a vital humanistic tool in shaping the world and seeks to increase national awareness of design by educating the public and promoting excellence, innovation and lasting achievement," according to the museum.
Diller was recognized with her partners, Ricardo Scofidio and Charles Renfro, for their work at the firm that fuses architecture with the visual and performing arts. Their installations have been commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, both in New York; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels; and Gallery Ma in Tokyo. Their current projects include the construction of Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art and the expansion and renovation of New York's Lincoln Center.
Diller has been a member of the Princeton faculty since 1990.

This call belonged to a man who purchased this call in or around 1994 at the Peavley flea market in Missouri. To my knowledge Mr. Black and Mr. Cost were the only call makers making this style call in 1994. There is no signature or markings on the call. I've been told that not until Earl Mickel published his first book it was common for call makers not to sign their calls. The call is in perfect condition and sounds awesome!

Five Rules For Using Google Docs for Outlining
Five Rules For Using Google Docs for Outlining
How to use Google Docs for Rapid Thought Capture.
Everyone is always wishing for the perfect outlining tool. There isn't one and everyone's preferences (insane, petty, or whatever) drives the launch and design of thousands of outliner applications. But a cloud-based word processor can be abused in just such a way to make a decent outliner if you restrict your use of its features instead of relying on the bells and whistles of an application. If you like Markdown, look at this as being the in-between of WYSIWYG and just using plain-text.
Don't waste your time making outlines and fiddling with styles while you're thinking and brainstorming with these simple rules.
Rule #1: Never touch the mouse.
You see that thing to the side of your keyboard? It's poison. Don't touch it.
Just about everything you need to do for functional outlining can be done with your keyboard. If you need to do something with your mouse, chances are, you're about to commit a thinking error involving styling your text. Change a font? Are you kidding? What are you doing? Does that font make your thought more pertinent? Of course not! Concentrate on your text first, and you'll get your thinking done in less time.
You'll be learning various keyboard shortcuts to apply when you need some semantic oomph, but the first one you're not going to learn is TAB. Like this paragraph? You know how you get a paragraph? You hit enter, twice. Done.
If you think you can't navigate your text without the mouse, well, you're wrong. The keyboard has HOME, END, CURSOR and modifiers like CONTROL and SHIFT that do magical things with the cursor and your text. Learn them.
Rule #2: Never indent your text.
Don't touch your TAB key. Indenting your text is just a different way of styling it. Not even for quotations.
Oh, I know, outlines are all about indenting. Screw it. Once you fall into the text-indenting trap, you'll fight with indents when and wherever you move your text around in your outline. You have a quotation? Well, use a fine keyboard invention called "quotation marks." For example:
"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
Respect your quotation marks. Use paragraphs. Stop arranging deck chairs fighting with indents when you can be writing your thoughts.
Rule #3: Write your headings first.
Fill in your thoughts after you use the headings to define their containers.
In the Google Docs hosted version of this document the table of contents is built exactly from the headings and provides you an excellent summary of what your document is about. Hey, look, you can even click on them to navigate inside your document.
Control-Alt-1 is Heading 1
Control-Alt-2 is Heading 2
Control-Alt-3 is Heading 3
Control-Alt-6 is Heading 6.
You get six different sizes of headings. If you're going deeper than that and require a smaller, 7th heading, you're confused and you're not organizing your material effectively to summarize your content.
Rule #4: Judiciously use use italics and bold.
There are a couple things you can do with text that is stylish from the keyboard. Don't go crazy with it and reserve their use for selected tasks.
Reserve italics for emphasis and summary. Use bold for popping concepts out inside of your text when they're not a needed heading. Don't bother combining them or you'll find yourself fighting with whether you intended to have bold italics or not and wondering if you mean to emphasis or describe at the same time. Maybe you can handle that, but in general don't overload text like this if you can help it, it's less work and simplifies writing.
Rule #5: Limit your blocks of text to what fits on your screen.
Where the headings are labeling, some selective italicized text summarizes, your textual meat should fit on screen.
You're outlining, not writing a novel. Don't write a novel between your headings. Make your point succinct.
The Worst Part of This Exercise
Is using the HTML exporter from Google Docs, which fantastically avoids using the HTML elements of I and B (or EM and STRONG) for representing italic and bold text. So if you're going to live with the quirks of Google Docs, you should plan to stay within Google Docs.
Now, if only Evernote and WordPress had Control-Alt-# shortcuts for headings…

Movie Review: Wish You Were Here

Tension, suspicion, betrayals and lies percolate under the surface in Wish You Were Here.

Director: Kieran Darcy-Smith MPAA Rating: R Studio: Amblin Entertainment Stars:Felicity Price, Joel Edgerton, Teresa Palmer
Tension, suspicion, betrayals and lies percolate under the surface in Wish You Were Here. Joel Edgerton and Felicity Price play a married Australian couple enjoying, thanks to boozing, dancing, great food and ecstasy, a more than slightly hallucinatory Southeast Asia vacation with Price's younger sister, played by Teresa Palmer, and her new boyfriend, a handsome businessman played by Antony Starr. Three come home, one goes missing and a mystery unfolds.
The subtle, twisted screenplay, co-written by Felicity Price and the actor Kieran Darcy-Smith, marks Darcy-Smith's confident, promising directing debut and it focuses on the unraveling of family relations as Price's character slowly learns what really went down in Cambodia – despite her husband and sister's initial cover-up about what they really know. It's a taught, well-edited and grabby little puzzle of a film. Its characters are complex, not even close to being entirely likeable or admirable, and the performances feel lived-in. In particular, Edgerton's work here as a troubled, flawed shipbuilder is as strong and intriguing as his work in Baz Luhrmann's take on The Great Gatsby was one-note and dispiriting. Wish You Were Here is intelligent, grownup, absorbing and highly impressive.

My business partner and I have officially graduated from using each of our family's minivans for our deliveries. She and I have put them through the roadway ringer and they now deserve to be reserved for family-friendly ventures once again. We loaded lots of food trays and logged lots of miles on the minis since our catering business really picked up. Weekday orders have increased and are now rivaling our weekend business–and we haven't stopped smiling! Naturally, we're now thinking diesel. Not diesel cars, but diesel powered trucks.
Why have they topped our list? Easy. Gone are the days of diesel cars and trucks being annoyingly noisy and irritatingly smelly, especially those behemoth trucks favored by large industrial businesses. High-tech advances have transformed them into easily accessible vehicles for the likes of us. In our case, small-business owners who are drawn to how modern diesel powered trucks have tempted us with:
- Awesomely impressive power (looking ahead, we're thinking of adding a massive traveling barbecue grill that we can tow to most any event location, multiplying our menu-offering possibilities)
- Incredible fuel economy (we were impressed by how they, like diesel cars, are traditionally less thirsty for diesel fuel than gasoline powered truck options)
- The spaciousness of the flatbed (just right for our trays of edibles, chafing dishes, serve ware, folding tables, linens, the occasional ice sculpture)
Of course, we also needed to ensure the cab area was equally spacious. In addition to the eats, drinks and accessories we're transporting, we sometimes recruit a few of our family and friends as banquet servers at our larger events. Having the extra room for them eliminates extra cars (and gets us into the carpool/HOV lanes!) After taking a look at various diesel powered trucks, it was easy to choose a crew cab model that seats six.
Another clincher that steered us to diesel powered trucks are the relatively low operating costs, thanks to their great fuel economy (must be why there are a lot of diesel cars on the road today). Though the diesel fuel price-per-gallon is generally higher than that of gasoline, diesel fuel offers an excellent miles-per-gallon ratio that more than makes up for what we'll be paying for diesel fuel at the pump.
Safety factors are at the forefront of all moms who are behind the wheel. We are no exception. Today's diesel powered trucks (and to be fair, diesel cars) are equipped with all the same modern-day safety features, as well as convenient and indulgent upgrades, found in minivans, SUVs and cars that aren't powered by diesel fuel:
- Anti-lock brakes
- Air bags all around
- Stability control
- Rear-view cameras
- Parking sensors
With these great features now part of today's diesel powered trucks (and diesel cars), we've been wondering if a driverless option could not be far off. While en route to our delivery destinations, it'd be nice to be freed up to do other tasks. Like taking turns with catching up on some sleep!

32.99 mega pixil GigaPan ... is that a typo? ... you have to be kidding me ... it's amazing! ... plus it has the best red boat I have ever seen:)
Could it be intrepid use of new techniques like this www.gigapan.com/gigapans/142389 ? It certainly isn't skill :-)
This is crazy ... currently, you have two GigaPans on the first page of most popular; one on the second page, and four notable GigaPans on the third page! May I ask what you attribute your success to?
I really enjoyed finding all the cameras in this panorama. There are at least 8 plus two camera signs.

In yesterday's post, we learned that it was Oscar who first visited Ripon township in Wisconsin to check out the land that was being opened up to settlers in the 1840s. Hard to imagine that Wisconsin was wilderness so short a time ago, but there it is. Oscar, as you'll recall, returned to South Gilboa, New York and "organized a colony of its members" for a move to Wisconsin [Bouton Papers, Efner file].
It was Amos Loper who was mentioned several times in Mayham's book, and I was curious to know how Oscar was related to him, so I went to my first-choice source for second-hand information, WorldConnect at RootsWeb. Oscar, I learned, was Amos' son. Oscar had moved to a place in Wisconsin called Ceresco, according to the notes in the Wehling family tree. I'd never heard of Ceresco and wondered if it was near Lyndon, where Ezekiel Efner settled, or perhaps near Ripon, where Ezekiel's sister Catherine Whiting settled.
So next I googled "Loper Ceresco Wisconsin." The first thing I read was this:
The first claim on the north side of the river was made by Mr. O. E. Loper while it was still Indian lands and not open to legal settlement. After the Indian title was extinguished by the government at the treaty of Poygan, the lands were rapidly taken up and now they are cleared and improved. A small cranberry marsh was cultivated on the western margin of the town. Mr. Loper, who was first to settle north of the river, had been a member of the Fourier community at Ceresco. [Lawson, p. 332]That confused me a little... was this the right O. E. Loper? I was looking for the one from Schoharie County, New York. And what's a Fourier community? So I searched for Fourier in the same book, and found this:
Mr. Lester Rounds had come from Ceresco, where he had been secretary of the community of Fourites under the name of the Wisconsin Phalanx of the Fourier association... ." [Lawson, p. 331]Phalanx? Fourites? Hmm, back to Google... and what I found next was so unexpected that I thought the whole story blogworthy:
François Marie Charles Fourier (April 7, 1772 – October 10, 1837) was a French utopian socialist and philosopher who... envisioned a society organized in units called "phalanxes" composed of male and female representatives of 810 personality types, in which natural interaction would automatically result in peace and harmony. In these communities the status of manual labor would be elevated by making work enjoyable and satisfying. Fourier also advocated the emancipation of women and coined the word féminisme in 1837.Read more about Fourier at New World Encyclopedia.
Having come of age in the late 1960s, on occasion I had toyed with the idea of joining a commune myself. I've always had a fondness for unconventional ideas, I admit. I did read quite a bit about it at the time. I'm surprised I don't remember any mention of Fourier, and if there was any reference to commune experiments in the previous century, it made no lasting impression on me. Nevertheless, I did let the commune idea pass. It seems I'm a staunch adherent of the A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted school of philosophy and couldn't quite release my grip on the purse-strings.
Neither do I recall, by the way, ever hearing of Fourier in relation to the term feminism when it was on everyone's lips (including mine) in the 1970s. So for me, this discovery casts a pretty interesting light on the 1840s!
But, what about Ceresco? The commune was begun in 1844 and enjoyed some successful years until 1850 when it disbanded and became first the village of Ceresco and later part of Ripon. I found the following three websites particularly interesting and informative:
- Ceresco: A National History Day Resource (with documents and newspaper clippings)
- Ceresco: Utopia in Fond du Lac County (with footnotes galore, on Fond du Lac Public Library's website)
- Discover Historic Downtown Ripon, Wisconsin (with photos, and a bit about the birth of the Republican Party
I find it hard to imagine that a Blenheim Hill anti-renter would fight for the right to own his own property, and then turn right around and go all the way to Wisconsin to join a commune. For that reason, I suspect the Lopers were among those who joined the Ceresco community as a financial investment rather than a lifestyle choice.
I wish there existed a list of all who joined Ceresco. It would be interesting to know if there were others from Blenheim Hill.
My third great-grandfather, Ezekiel T. Efner, went to Wisconsin in 1848. I have no reason to believe that he ever lived at Ceresco or Ripon--I've seen only Cascade and Lyndon mentioned with regard to him. And by the time Charles and Catherine Efner Whiting arrived at Ripon in 1854, the Ceresco commune was history. Still, this fascinating bit of history was a part of the culture at the time. I wonder what they thought of it.
What do you think of it?

The esophagus runs through the diaphragm to the stomach. It functions to carry food from the mouth to the stomach.The esophagus passes through the diaphragm just before it meets the stomach, through an opening called the esophageal hiatus.
When the opening (hiatus) in the muscle between the abdomen and chest (diaphragm) is too large, some of the stomach can slip up into the chest cavity. This can cause heartburn (gastro-esophageal reflux: GER) as gastric acid backflows from the stomach into the esophagus. Hiatal hernia repair is surgery to repair a bulging of stomach tissue through the muscle between the abdomen and chest (diaphragm) into the chest (hiatal hernia).
Hiatal hernia repair may be recommended when the patient has:
While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made in the abdomen.
The stomach and lower esophagus are placed back into the abdominal cavity. The opening in the diaphragm (hiatus) is tightened and the stomach is stitched in position to prevent reflux. The upper part of the stomach (fundus) may be wrapped around the esophagus (fundoplication) to reduce reflux.
Patients may need to spend 3 to 10 days in the hospital after surgery. A tube will be placed into the stomach through the nose and throat (nasogastric tube) during surgery and may remain for a few days. Small, frequent feedings are recommended.

Home > Choosing a College > A Guide to Letting Go >
Be Prepared for Changes
College is a time of transition. There is no way to move through such a transition without feeling some sense of excitement and loss. The excitement is easy to handle. The sense of loss or dislocation is less so...especially for parents.
Students often seem different after they've been in college for awhile. There may be changes in eating and sleeping habits, hair styles, how they see themselves, and how they interact with the rest of the family.
The key is to be prepared for these changes. Don't make snap judgments on the quality or character of the differences. They may change again in the next month. Try to appreciate that your child's view of the world is expanding.
The following can help you successfully "let go" as your child goes to college:
- Build an adult relationship with your child with phone calls, e-mails, letters and "care" packages. Let the student control the timing of these interactions to help maintain that sense of freedom.
- Focus on the things you enjoyed doing before your child began college. Don't try and fill your life with new commitments to fill the void left by your child's absence. Focus on yourself for a while or other members of your family.
- Don't feel guilty if you adjust to your child being in college before other parents do. Everyone is different. Each parent makes the adjustment in his or her own time.
- Work to keep your emotions under wraps. If you burst into tears every time you speak to your child, he or she may feel bad about being in school and may avoid talking with you.
- Try not to focus conversations on problems or uncertainties you're facing in your life. Help your child focus on his or her new goals or activities.
- Limit any other major changes in your life for a while. Sending your child to college is enough of a shock. Changing jobs or moving to a new house could send everyone over the edge!
If you have other children at home, here are some other points to keep in mind:
- Keep your sense of loss or grief under wraps. If your other children see that you're very upset, they may get the feeling that you value the college student more than you do them.
- Don't try to turn one of the remaining siblings into a mirror image of the one who's gone to college. Both children will resent it.

rod/reel matchup
Hello, I'm new to the cite so please bear with me. I'm an avid ordinary fisherman and recently became an addict to flyfishing. I inherited a custom made 9' 7wt. flyrod from my father in law. I would like some advise on a matching reel, one that I could use for trout and some of the bass in our lakes in California. I'm looking at either the ross rhythm or the Orvis Battenkill BBS II.
I'm looking for an all around set up that I could use so that I don't have to get an additional set up.
Thank you.
PS- Line Wt. and Capacity information would help me in my quest.
Hi, and welcome to the site! Matching a reel to a custom rod can be very difficult without being able to actually hold the rod. Your best bet is to take the rod to a local fly shop and try out a few reels on it to see what feels good when you're casting. The 7 wt will be fine for bass, but that's a lot of rod for trout. You really want something in the 4-5 range for trout. That's not to say you couldn't use it for trout, but you'll have a tough time presenting small flies with a rod that big.
Ross makes excellent reels so you can't really go wrong there. The Rhythm 3.5 model would probably be the correct match for your rod. The Orvis Battenkill reels also have an excellent reputation, but the BBS II is much too light for a 7 wt rod. It's designed for 2-5 wt rods. You probably would need the BBS IV, which is designed for 6-9 wt rods, though the BBS III might be ok (4-7 wt) depending on your custom rod. You'd have to cast with each to see.

Ergon GP3 BioKork Grip - $60.00
The GR2 BioKork Grip is just like the GP1 BioKork except that it is terminated by a three finger composite bar end. The bar end offers up an additional hand position and more leverage for climbing out of the saddle. Instead of solid rubber, this grip uses natural cork, harvested from certified sustainable trees in Portugal for 40% of the cover. In addition, it also uses grass fiber for 40% of the grip core and vegetable oils instead of mineral oil in the gel palm insert. The benefits of cork's natural low density are a lightweight and comfortable gripErgon's patented wing-shaped grips support your hand and wrist in a way that relieves pressure on the Median and Ulnar nerves -- pressure that causes numbness, tingling, or pain. The shape of the GR2 BioKork Grip is a replica of Ergon's bestselling GP1 grip, and it's a great starting point for an exploration of Ergon's wares. By comparison, the GP1 shape is a bit more forgiving than the race-oriented GX1. So those looking for the most comfort, look no further. Each grip is held in place by a built-in clamp assembly on the bar end and set by a 4mm hex key. The angles of the grips and the bar ends can be adjusted separately, and when both are oriented to your preference, the clamp hardware should not be tightened in excess of 5nm.The Ergon GR2 BioKork Grip comes in two sizes -- Small and Large. The size does not refer to the length but the thickness of the grip. The people at Ergon tell us that macho types assume they should have large unless otherwise indicated, so consider this a warning. Ergon has found that most people, except those who have huge mitts, go with the small. The smaller diameter is lighter, a bit stiffer, and easy to grab. Those with big hands and those who spend long, long days in the saddle might want to lean towards large. The GR2 BioKork Grips are 54mm at their widest point (measured front to back) and are 132mm long. The left and right grips are mirror images of each other. - $60.00

So pretty...what is your base,is that your own pattern its stunning.
May Your Life Be Full of Charity and Love.
Very pretty, my fingers hurt just thinking of the delicate work you had to do on it. It is to beautiful to use.
Not so such I would put pins in it, it is so pretty!
Too pretty to put pins in! Beautiful work!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!

232 Third St. at 3rd Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11215
F/G to Carroll St. or R to Union
Rooftop Films, indieWIRE, and Snag Films celebrate our 16 year anniversaries with a special sneak preview of The Imposter. An engaging investigation into a bizarre 1997 case in which a French man impersonated a missing adolescent from San Antonio that combines non-fiction detective work with an alluring sense of mystery.
The location of tonight's film has been moved to The Old American Can Factory.
The Imposter (Bart Layton | UK | 95 min.)
Sustained by its weird-but-true hooks, The Imposter suggests a compelling marriage of The Tillman Story with Man on Wire (and was produced by the same people). Director Bart Layton's biggest coup involves a dominant interview with an outgoing Spanish man who remains unnamed for most of the movie. His espionage-like method of impersonating the missing boy, Nicholas Barclay, puts the movie firmly inside the anonymous man's head. Guided by a cosmic score and slickly constructed reenactments, "The Imposter" inhabits the con artist's perspective as he infiltrates a small Texas town, makes the local news and even manages to work his way back to high school.
The ruse begins with a phone call to Barclay's sister made by the con artist at the beginning of the movie. He preys on her fears with methodological precision -- or, in his own words, "I washed her brain." The Impostor does that to its audience as well, drawing us into each twist in Fake Barclay's experiences while making it clear, by virtue of the movie's existence, that at some point someone must catch on. But even when they do, for each answered question, another begs for further inquiry.
The supporting characters flesh out this requirement. A local investigator named Charlie Parker, whose tactics seem lifted straight out of a Raymond Chandler novel, grows increasingly suspicious of Barclay's return, begging a naive FBI agent to reopen the case. When the man's identity finally becomes clear, the magnitude of his scheme begs for further analysis, but Layton instead takes the plot in a surprising new direction that redefines everything that came before. You won't see it coming -- even when you think you have it all figured out.

"Clearly these guys have thought about their music. Even the texture of their sound is meticulously crafted. Though you might call the music lo-fi, this is really a misnomer: lo-fi implies some degradation of sound quality, whereas these guys deliberately morph their sound to their own tastes. It takes a little getting used to, but the warmth conveyed on "The Prettiest Song in the World" has a lot to do with the texture they create, which sounds like an exaggerated version of the sound you get from vinyl." -Ampeater

Seagate Freeagent Backups --No More Free Space?
Posted 07 November 2009 - 01:21 PM
My free space on this large drive was disappearing RAPIDLY. I used a free tool that is fantastic, WinDirStat, to map the space usage on the drive, and was stunned to see the amount of space going to "History." I researched this on Seagate's site (not fun,) and then contacted their support via chat. Here's what I learned...
On your EHD, the backup that you designed goes into the Seagate Backup\ComputerName folder. So far so good. The FreeAgent backup software also creates a Seagate Backup\ComputerName\History folder, and it has subfolders Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, etc, all the way up to Level 10. These provide historical checkpoints so you could restore two, three, or four, etc levels older.
For the files you've designated as "to backup," the HISTORY folder ALSO stores a copy each time it backs up, if you've "touched" the file. I back up "Documents & Settings" since I want Desktop, My Docs and Application Data. Application Data includes things such as your Picasa database. For example, if you've done anything in Picasa since your last backup, the next backup includes another copy of its large database. Similarly for other applications.
Unfortunately, changing the number of History backups is not a user-revisable setting. Seagate has my input on that.
Action Plan: when your Seagate FreeAgent drive and backups are losing free space too rapidly, check your Seagate Backup\ComputerName\History folder. Delete older (higher numbered) folders as you see fit. I just reclaimed over 130GB today, and did not delete quite all the levels. You could tweak your backup settings to exclude these Application Data files, but I think one, maybe two copies is useful.
I don't care for "surprises" to the user that are not particularly well-documented. The drive is still a great drive. Your mileage may vary; I hope this is helpful to some of you in your continuing goal to keep the important data backed up!

Now I have tons of supplies and photos all on the EHD and I haven't put a dent in the thing yet... This is encouraging for me. But as you said its important to keep everything backed up
Posted 07 November 2009 - 02:11 PM
The real goal is for my friends here to have a better understanding of the auto-backup functionality, and how to live with it! I DO like auto-backup; I just got surprised.

I've made 2, and learned an amazing amount.
I told her she should do a newsletter tutorial, but she said she just does the chats.
there are lots of ways to backup, and it never hurts to learn more.
Apologies if I've highjacked this thread.
Posted 07 November 2009 - 05:54 PM
And I could turn off the auto-backup, and add another program. April's right about many ways to accomplish this.
At least, I hope no one else gets so badly surprised about "How did all that space go away so quickly?"

I think the files are still on it, but it can't read the Seagate files. Who knows?? I don't know how to get into it now. I wonder if the other program would read it if my pc won't.
Posted 02 November 2011 - 09:56 PM
I've notice things are scattered and some files changed since I've been moving them around. Picasso is really scrambled with several copies of each thing.
I think a strong Mac is in the future for me sometime.
I am using PSE 9, on a Win 7, with 4 mg ram. I do intend to upgrade the ram.
Thanks for all of the information.

2 more days until I have to go back to the ****hole known as Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Bah...
So Im about 7 or 8 episodes in to Homeland now.
First of all, you guys who like this show I cant understand why you dont watch Damages. If you liked Homeland, to me it seems almost a rip off or season 4 of Damages. Its basically the same style of show. Homeland is about the CIA whereas Damages is about high powered corperate lawyers. Damages has much better actors though. If you like one I dont see how you wouldnt like the other.
Homeland's opening is the worst Ive ever seen for a TV show. Why do they even bother with that? Just show the opening credits at the bottom of the screen while the show is starting.
The only other thing I dont like about Homeland is so far there really isnt a character that I really like. There isnt one I would call my favorite.
Great show, but I need a character to emerge as my clear favorite like Saul in Breaking Bad. Saul in Homeland is a bit of a douche btw.
Oh and Vucevic is turning into a stud. 20 points, 29 rebounds last game. Averaging a double-double on the season. Trading for Bynum looks dumber and dumber by the day.
I cant put down my new Fifa13 game, i did buy it for my kids...........lol

Fossils, fossils everywhere and I can't find a one!
Most everyone has heard of fossils, those remnants of organisms from a bygone time, and some people know how rare it is that any organism that lived will be fossilized. Think about it, if all the animals that ever lived were fossilized, we'd be hip deep in fossils, and we aren't. We know fossilization is rare but people certainly find fossils, so how do they do it? You can find some practical advice in this video if you want to go out hunting for you own fossils! Remember some of the greatest fossil finds have been made by "amateurs".
Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What physical condition are optimal for the creation of fossils?
- What can the texture of bone be likened to? What is the texture of weathered bone?
- How would the identification of fossils be complicated if bone felt like rock? What would this do to the number of fossils that could be identified? Explain your reasoning fully.
- What do you look for if you are trying to find a fossil? What do you do once you find what you are looking for?
- If fossilization occurs under specific conditions, what does this say about finding fossils of organisms which live in areas where these conditions don't exist?
