A Green Solution to Those Pesky Moving Boxes
Moving is near the top of my "Things I Hate to Do" list right behind the arduous weekly trek to and from the laundromat. The excitement of a new abode is often subdued by the packing and unpacking, lifting and loading, and the boxes, oh those boxes. If only there was something to make this process a little less frustrating and a little more green...
Bring ZippGo into your moving equation to deal with that box issue. Founded by a former manager of an organic grocery home delivery company, ZippGo aims to stop the usage of cardboard boxes during residential moves.
Using 100% consumer recycled plastic, each of ZippGo's reusable moving boxes can be used 400 times in turn saving 400 cardboard boxes and 4 trees during its lifetime. Boxes are delivered to your home a week before your move and picked up a week after by trucks powered with 100% recycled waste vegetable oil. Even better, renting ZippGo boxes is actually cheaper than buying the cardboard alternative. They have recycled, reusable packing supplies and wardrobe boxes available as well.
ZippGo is currently available in 64 Bay Area cities with rates starting as low as $119 for the one bedroom apartment package. This almost makes me eager to start planning my next move...almost.

or grab a bunch of boxes from behind a grocery or liquor store like normal people do. Do you really spend over $100 on new cardboard boxes every time you move?
people are usually giving boxes away... when we moved, we were offered boxes by at least 2 or 3 friends. I'd check craigslist or freecycle- and then list yours on there too and try to give them to someone else in need.
Just in case you didn't know, in the free section of craigslist, people give away their used moving boxes everyday. There is no need to ever buy a "new" box...I saw a women loading her SUV with a bunch of new boxes from Home Depot and nearly wept...I am not green, just cheap.
While this is a good idea (there is a similar business here in SoCal), I have to wonder...what if you need more than a week to pack all your stuff? It always takes me at least a month to pack everything up.
It'd be better if one didn't have so much stuff. Moving is so much easier if you aren't addicted to stuff. How many sets of sheets do you use at once? How many throw pillows does your sofa or bed need. My bed needs one set of sheets, one comforter, and no throw pillows. I don't have a sofa and my club chairs don't need throw pillows. Clutter is the problem, not cardboard or plastic boxes.
Skip the plastic. Cardboard is recyclable and trees are a renewable resource.
I'm a huge fan of liquor store boxes for moving - they're sturdy and fabulous for dishes and books. and they're free. you can also use your office's copy paper boxes or boxes from the grocery store.
With all of these free boxes to be reused, why would I pay to use plastic? plastic that has to be delivered? and paid for... They need to use these boxes to deliver to the grocery stores and liquor stores - then I'll use them.
it's not "new" plastic...it's all recycled post-consumer waste. And I'd pay to use them in a minute...take a look at the website to see their stats before touting that cardboard boxes (even reused) are the best option. Sure, reusing something that would otherwise be thrown out is a great idea, but having all the materials there and ready to go is worth something.
Also, for those of us that don't have cars, the delivery option is pretty fantastic (loads better than me preparing for a move two months in advance and carrying one box home every day for the 20 minute walk).
Looks like part of the rental price is also a dolly, which you're not going to find for free and not many people have someone to easily borrow one from.
And a wardrobe box, which I've always been a bit puzzled by, but I guess it's good for people who have very delicate closet items like... what, fur coats?
Not for me since I'm a weirdo packrat who has actually used the same boxes through my three last moves. (They currently live flattened under my bed, which is too close to the ground for any kind of traditional under-bed storage). But for someone who wants *really* sturdy boxes and has too busy a life to drive around picking up free ones, it's a pretty good option.
Better than buying boxes from Home Depot, that's for sure.
Good idea, but not for me. There's no way I can pack my stuff in those since I always start packing over a month before I move. I have a lot of stuff! :) I've never had to purchase boxes. Like other said, Craigslist is the best option for free cardboard boxes.
My husband and I have lots of books and paperwork. We are also small people and prefer not to lift too much at a time. Liquor boxes and cheap file boxes are our go to size and the file boxes are reusable for relatively attractive storage. Also they have handles which makes moving easier as well. These boxes look pretty big.
My last move used the same boxes - supplied by a moving company. I am in commerical design so I used our usual move company we retain for clients.
These are great - their large size makes packing a breeze. They stack cleanly and protect their contents as they cannot crush.
After completing my move the company never did come back to get them - so I am ready for my next move. In the mean while they are great for storing items and lending out to friends for their move.
I just finished the "college years" and with the college years came a lot of moving.....like 9 locations in 6 years. I purchased about 10 of the large (I'm talking the ones that could fit a dead body!!) blue plastic totes and have used them for the past 4 or so moves. I use the smaller blue totes for the heavier things. Last move, I got smart and used a moving company. They seemed to really like having "boxes" all the same size and I didn't have to worry about packing them too full since there were always two guys to carry things.
I wrote in sharpie marker on the outside what was inside. Each move I just put a line through the previous.
After the move, I just stack them together and slide them into a closet for the next move. I'm sure when I get a house one day I will have things I will need to store in the attic or garage where these totes will come in handy.
(Of course this style might not work for those of you who live in cities that "lack" space. I live in Texas...in a 800 sq foot 1 bedroom apartment with an patio storage closet.)
Copy paper boxes always worked for me, they're free and can handle heavy loads plus being stacked, when I'm done with them I offer them to the next person moving.
when i moved from Ottawa to London (the other one - in
Canada), i gave all my boxes to a co-worker who was moving a couple of months later.
she gave them back to me when i ended up moving *again* 4 months after i got here. then i listed them on Freecycle.
last year, when i was moving to my house, another co-worker gave me boxes from her move and i passed them on to another couple of co-workers.
there's always someone with boxes to give you and someone who needs them to hand them off to.
I'm all about the free boxes, too ... liquor and grocery stores, and work. I also passed mine on to a coworker afterwards.
Buying boxes to move is conspicuous consumerism.
If your into scrounging around for cardboard boxes, dumpster diving, and driving to random locations then this kind of service isn't for you. I've moved several times and absolutely hate it. I've got enough things going on in my life between work and my social life that I really don't want to be driving around looking for used cardboard boxes. Also, the one time I got cardboard boxes from a random person on Craigslist (cuz I was trying to be "Green"), the guy I got em from had them in his basement and they were dusty and dirty. It was pain trying to shove these boxes in my car. Never again. If you don't have a car, this service is even better. This service sounds perfect because for $120 I get all these boxes delivered to me and I'm all set. People spend $120 on a night out eating and drinking and on a pair of shoes. I for one will use this service for making my life 10X less stressful when I am moving.
I swear, AT profiled this exact same product about four months ago.
"I swear, AT profiled this exact same product about four months ago."
Looking at the search function, they've talked about the same sort of idea before at least twice, but by different companies from this one. Rentagreenbox.com and Karmaboxx.com. They might be in different regions too, I didn't really bother to check.
I've moved 15 times in 12 years (this time I've finally bought a place, so I'm in for a while)...and I've never BOUGHT a box in my entire life. It's cheaper and greener to get boxes from places that are ALREADY throwing them away anyway. Then, when you're done with them, use them to store Christmas decorations, or hang on to them for when someone else moves, then you can pass them onto them. Renting crates seems way more wasteful than it intends to be.
In theory it's a "green" idea but in practice it really isn't.
My last move I didn't buy a box. I had family give me boxes from their businesses, got some from liquor stores, already had a bunch (I'm a packrat) and picked some up from Freecycle.
All for free because I am supreme tight-wad. All were saved from the dump and all are currently torn down in wait for another move; many of which I've had for moving and storage since the early 90s.
Same goes for most of the packing material.
This is a good solution for some people but I think I would be in the majority to think that perhaps on a large scale "green" saving cardboard boxes from going to the dump (from local stores, businesses, etc...) is the best solution at this time. Save the plastic for more permanent items like storage containers, fibers for clothes and carpeting, building materials, etc...
Until businesses find such a solution (as these plastic boxes) for transporting everyday goods without the use of cardboard, I think reusing cardboard is a better solution on many fronts.
Of course, that's just my opinion.
Oh and to the person that mentioned sheets and throw pillows and whatever...What is fine for you may not be so for others. I personally sort of subscribe to that idea that having less is more but a lot of people don't and the reasons are as many as there are people. But I will say this, heck, even prisoners try to decorate their cells. Humans are such that they desire personalized surroundings. Some live simply while some live with a lot. To each their own.
so far we've only moved locally (within a 40 minute radius). I've never bought a box.
We've always grabbed about 6 boxes that were going into the recycling bin at work. We packed them up with stuff, drove them to the new home (along with a car full of clothing or other items), unpacked them, and re-used the boxes for the haul the next day. (We always move all of our kitchen items, linens, and clothing items in stages, and reserve the last day for the "big furniture move".) Many items such as pots and clothing we move without packing at all... we put them in our clean car and go.
In the end, the 6 boxes are in pieces, and are returned to the recycling bin at work.
I'm sure someone will criticize us for all of our driving... however, we prefer to clean our new place and organize the kitchen, bathroom, and closets before moving in our furniture and settling in. This is the only way to do that. At least we're not using tons of bubble wrap, tissue paper, and boxes :-)
Who cleans these boxes between moves? Do I really want to put my clothes and pillows in boxes that 399 other people have already used? Yuck!
I have one word for all the folks using scrounged boxes:
The first thing I thought of was, isn't it 'greener' to re-use some boxes that'd be thrown away? there's no way i'd pay $119 for boxes. i don't know anyone who's ever bought any. you don't have to get them from a dumpster...try craigslist, your neighbors, your mom, any grocery stores...Sam's gives boxes away every time you buy groceries there. seriously, sometimes i think the Green people are just out there to make money off other peoples' ignorance. (which would make sense...money's green...ahaha...ok that wasn't funny...done now.)
Its great if you like jumping in a grocery store dumpster to get cardboard boxes, but that is not for me. I think these types of businesses are in fact green because a majority of people in the US will not go to Freecycle or Craigslist or go in a dumpster to get cardboard boxes. Its just the way it is. Most people will be buying new cardboard. And after they move they will dump that stuff which messes up our planet. Again, I think Freecycle and other ways to reuse cardboard are great and its what I do but most people will not. If these plastic boxes stop those people from buying new cardboard then I hope this company achieves extraordinary success. Not everyone "never buys a box" or "goes to dumpsters of their local grocery store".
Wow, I always opt for the free ones you find behind grocery, dollar, and drug stores - if you pay attention to when they get deliveries, you can get them right after they are put out. Plus I can get many with lids from my mom-in-law's office since they throw out the boxes printer paper comes in. I tend to break down and save at least half for my next move. But again we pack and move ourselves instead of hiring movers to do it all for us since I'm in my 20's and I'm not wasting money on something I can do myself.
This is a terrible waste of product and should never ever be called "green".
williamsweyr -- Some people like to have a change of sheets since not every single person has a washer/dryer in their home. I admit to having a few changes plus more than one blanket for each bed. Winters can be brutally cold at times.
We primarily use scavenged boxes, but we have purchased boxes a few times because we were unable to find a box the right size size for some of our stuff. Also, in some cities, all the cardboard dumpsters for businesses are designed so you can't get in to take boxes (they just have a slot to put flattened boxes in). We also used a wardrobe box as a portable closet when we had a few days between move-out and move-in. It's now folded up at the back of the closet for the next time we move, because it was so much handier than stuffing all our clothes into boxes.
That said, I would love to use a service like this. Scavenging enough boxes can take forever, or require you to store tons of boxes before the move. Plus, then there is the hassle of breaking them down and getting them all to a recycling center afterwards. There is a reason stores use this system for small items; it's darn handy!
I've used the green bin/moving company method while packing up our place of business. They're a cool idea in theory. Neatly stacking boxes make moving a little bit tidier. The one huge issue we found with them is that they're one-size-fits-all...but they certainly don't fit all. We ended up with a good amount of stuff just from the office that wouldn't fit in the boxes, and I would imagine it would be an even bigger problem in the home. The bins had tapered sides, which made packing even flat items a little tricky. And the moving company wouldn't take any bins that didn't have completely flat lids (ie: the stuff that didn't conform to the green bins' size), or open lids (paintings and larger items we just simply set in the bin). So we ended up having to move those in a colleagues mini van.
They're an interesting moving solution, but far from perfect.
I wish there was something like this for international moves since re-used cardboard boxes are not so good for shipping (as in on a ship in a not-necessarily-watertight shipping container).
Thanks for the recommendation, AT! You caught me just in time. I am your typical city girl: my time and my social calendar is super important to me, and I do everything without a car. When I came across your article last week, I thought I was dreaming. I was literally about to spend this last weekend scouring the city for recycled cardboard boxes and figure out a way to lug them back to my apartment, two to three pieces at a time. Instead, because of your recommendation, I called Zippgo and scheduled a delivery of these reusable moving boxes made from recycled plastic, which might I add, totally rocks! They worked with my schedule and we set up a time for them to come with the boxes.
I have moved four times in the last four years within San Francisco, and let me tell you, moving is not fun. They have saved me so much time, that now I can schedule in some dates.
Now all I gotta do, is find me a man! :)
Thanks for sharing such informative post.
How are these boxes green except being green in color? They are made of plastic which is made of oil and does not degrade. There is way too much plastic in the world already, no need to add more. The only good thing about them is they are recycled, however recycling plastic is a resource consuming process and very dirty. People usually reuse cardboard boxes so they are reusable, recyclable, biodegradable and with a little effort - free. We moved 5 times in the last 10 years, we do not have a lot of stuff, but still, it definitely takes more than a few days to pack it all - we start a month in advance at least, or sell the rest, unless you want to take a vacation and spend the week before the move just packing. With work, kid and household chores, I only have maybe 1 hour for packing each day. And I certainly do not want to be rushed to unpack in order to return the boxes to the company. After the move there is a lot of more urgent stuff to do at least for us - start new job, get the kid set up with everything from school to the doctors, etc.,etc. It may sometimes take up to half a year to unpack all the things, because there are better things to do, and you may not need the stuff right away. Maybe you move in May and will not need some winter stuff until December. We have learned from experience that many of the things that sit unpacked for more than a year after the move should be got rid of. Not everything. We store our moving boxes in a flattened condition and collect boxes in which we get mail purchases, staples boxes in which our university departments receive paper and supplies - these are very good for books and smaller heavy items. A lot of our stuff is kept in plastic bins with lids (you can buy them in Walmart and Canadian Tire) on wire and plastic shelves (also from Canadian Tire) - tools, toys, CDs, clothes and shoes to name a few, and we use plastic cabinets for kid's drawing and craft supplies, linens and clothes, so we move these things in those bins and cabinets without having to pack them. Just tape them secure. And still an average packing usually takes more than a few days. With a variety of items in an average household I can not imagine them all fitting in these standard bins.
Forgot to add: some stuff is moved in the original boxes that it was purchased in - e.g. vacuum leaner, yogurt maker, air freshener, printer, etc. I keep those boxes flattened, sometimes I also keep the styrofoam (except it takes a lot of space and I keep it for electronics and big appliances only) and repack the items in their original boxes to move. This actually solves the problem of finding the boxes of the right size for oversized and unusually shaped items.

In order for the Doniphan–Trumbull Cardinals to win the Class C–2 state title,they'd have to defeat the 3 time defending champion Aquinas Monarchs.
Let's go to Memorial Stadium to see if the Cardianls can complete an undefeated season and dethrone the defending champs.In o
In the first, quarterback Riley Wiltfong hits Jordan Slough for 16 yards and a touchdown, and the Cardinals take the lead.
Then, Riley completes the two point conversion to make it 8–0.
In the 2nd quarter the Cardinals add to their lead.
Jordan takes it in from a yard out and its 14–0.
It stayed that way at the half, until the Cardinals added another score in the 3rd quarter, Jordan Slough once again scored to make it 20–0....
A Riley Wiltfong to Jordan Slough pass made it 26–0 and the domination was just about complete.
The final, DT 32, Aquinas 13, the Cardinals are state champs.

No school this week thanks to winter vacation, which means more time for practice (and faffing around in my bathrobe).
I think understand the general proportions of the human head now so I decided try drawing some noses.
Constructive crit and any helpful links on how to draw and understand noses is welcome.
Finally you can understand the nose Jens. I am so proud
Nice work!
Good work Jens!
It'd be a good idea to use a bunch of different photo references and draw a lot of different noses. I'm sure you already thought of that though.
Many thanks for the motivation
I've been quite busy with schoolwork and mindlessly browsing the internet the past two weeks, so much for "updating weekly"
Anyways, here are a few more noses followed up by a bunch of mouths.

Lifestyle Changes for Nerve Pain
While making changes to your lifestyle is unlikely to eliminate your nerve pain, it might help -- especially when combined with other treatment. Here are some suggestions.
- Eat a good diet. There's no special eating plan for nerve pain. But a well-balanced diet -- with lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains -- help to ensure that you're getting the nutrients you need. Your doctor might also recommend reducing the amount of alcohol you drink -- or cutting it out entirely.
- Get regular exercise. Many studies have shown that people with chronic pain who exercise feel less pain, have more energy, and have improved mood than those who don't.
- Don't smoke. In addition to all of its other bad effects, smoking can reduce the blood supply to the nerves and worsen nerve pain. If you smoke, you need to quit.
In some cases, sensible changes to your lifestyle have an additional benefit. They might also help treat the underlying cause of your nerve pain -- particularly with diseases like diabetes.
Nerve Pain: Getting Help
If you're in constant pain, don't suffer and muddle through. Instead, get help from a doctor -- preferably an expert in treating nerve pain, like a neurologist or a pain management specialist. Together, you can come up with a treatment plan that will help you feel better.

The first and so far only director of the Salt Lake Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission is retiring.
Kenneth Israel is retiring after 38 years with the agency whose task is to protect investors and regulate public companies and markets.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Israel's last day was Thursday. He has been head of the Salt Lake office since 1994.
"Having served on the front lines protecting investors and our markets for decades, Ken has earned the agency's lasting gratitude," SEC Chair Mary Jo White said in a statement announcing his retirement.
Israel began working at the SEC in 1975. He transferred to the Denver Regional Office in 1981 and became chief for enforcement in the Salt Lake branch office in 1987 and director in 1994. The branch became a regional office in 2007 and Israel remained as director.

Obamacare is causing a deep doctor depression
To the Editor:
Thanks to Obamacare, America's corps of doctors appears to have a case of the blues. The Physicians Foundation recently asked more than 13,000 doctors about their morale, their career plans, their practices, and their views of Obamacare. The results were grim.
Nearly six in 10 doctors said that they are less positive about the future of health care in America under Obamacare. Almost two-thirds have a negative attitude toward their jobs - nearly twice as many as before Obamacare passed.
As a result, many doctors are cutting back on their workload or shuttering their practices altogether. Worse, their collective frustration is exacerbating our nation's troubling doctor shortage.
More than three-fifths of doctors say they would retire today if they could, compared with 45 percent before Obamacare. Eighty-four percent say the medical profession is in decline. Fewer doctors say they would enter the profession today if they had it to do over again, and fewer would recommend it to their children.
This decline in doctors' morale is taking a toll on Americans' ability to access care. Physicians report working almost 6 percent fewer hours than they did four years ago. That's about two and a half hours less per week per doctor. Add up all the hours, and it's the equivalent of losing more than 44,000 full-time physicians.
Doctors also report seeing some 16 percent fewer patients than they did in 2008. That represents tens of millions fewer doctor-patient encounters each year.
More than half of those surveyed say they plan to cut back further on the time they devote to patient care, to work part time, to retire, or to switch to direct-pay "concierge"-type medical practices, which are beyond the reach of many of Obamacare's rules and regulations.
Even before Obamacare became law, America faced a chronic doctor shortage, with a gap of 14,000 physicians in 2010. And the problem will only grow worse.
According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, Obamacare will push the doctor shortage up to 63,000 by 2015 - and more than 91,000 by 2020. That's in addition to the full-time-equivalent losses from doctors working fewer hours.
Obamacare's $716 billion worth of cuts to Medicare are partially to blame. The law creates an "Independent Payment Advisory Board" charged with restraining the growth of Medicare spending. The board may not ration care or reduce seniors' benefits - so its only real option for reducing spending will be cutting reimbursement rates for healthcare providers who treat Medicare patients. And that will discourage doctors from seeing them.
When he stumped for health care reform three years ago, President Obama said that doctors would be the best judge of his efforts because they "know the health care system best."
He was certainly right about that. And by quitting the profession in droves, their verdict is in. It's high time to pull the plug on a law that is already exacerbating America's shortage of doctors - and may soon deprive Americans of adequate access to health care.

Root is a useful and valuable herb. Traditional herbalists apply the powdered
root of comfrey to minor wounds, insect bites and bruises. It can be used in
baths as an astringent and to soften the skin. The roots, leaves, and extracts
of comfrey can used in salves and ointments.
The herb plantain is often considered a weed. It has a gentle astringent action, which soothes minor wounds, blisters and rashes.
The University of Maryland Medical Center notes that plantain has a reputation as an herbal application for the stings or bites of insects. Simply mash a leaf to release its juices and apply to the bite or sting. Plantain also helps with poison ivy, simply rubbing a leaf on affected skin helps ease itching. Herbal effects are simply soothing, not healing or treatment for medical issues.

What's Better? Drive Imaging Or OS Reinstall?
Situation: You're going to upgrade your primary hard drive to something bigger, better and faster – however the primary hard drive is obviously what holds your operating system.
So now you're faced with a choice.
- Reinstall the operating system on the new drive and reinstall all your apps.
- Use drive imaging software to copy everything from the old drive to the new one.
As most people who use computers know, you can't just copy/paste an operating system from one drive to another. It would be really cool if you could do that, but at present we can't and most likely never will be able to.
There and disadvantages to both methods.
OS Reinstall
It's most likely true that the OS you'll be reinstalling is Windows XP.
The advantages of this OS reinstall are:
- Your system will be super-fast because any "leftovers" from all the software you uninstalled over the years won't be there. Your system registry will be "clean".
- If there were any viruses, malware or spyware you couldn't get rid of in your previous installation, that stuff definitely won't be there on the fresh install.
- Device driver "leftovers" from the stuff you used to have (old printers, old digital cameras, etc.) won't be there.
The disadvantages are:
- You have to reinstall all your device drivers for the stuff you have. This could be a long list including everything from video drivers to printer drivers, etc.
- You have to reinstall all your apps. This is also a long list and will take time.
- Two words: Windows Update.
Things you can do to make an OS reinstall a whole lot easier (and faster):
- If you have a brand-name PC like Dell, write down the service tag number (physically printed on the box), head to support.dell.com, punch that tag in, download all your drivers and burn them to CD. When you reinstall the OS you'll have all the necessary system drivers at the ready without the need to connect to the internet (which may not work until you get the drivers installed).
- For custom-build boxes, download the drivers you need and burn to CD before OS reinstall. For example, if you have an nVidia video card, head over to www.nvidia.com and download the latest driver set installation file.
- For all the apps that you use that were downloaded, burn all those to CD or DVD.
- For all the software you have that is on CD/DVD, get all these together and have them ready before you do your OS install.
- Make sure the software/drivers you need are on CD/DVD and not USB stick. The reason is because your computer on OS reinstall may not have your USB ports working until you install the drivers you need first. Being that your CD/DVD drive is auto-detected by Windows it doesn't require any external driver installation 99% of the time.
Drive Imaging
In order to push the data on a hard drive that has a complete OS install to a new one to make an exact copy, you need drive imaging software to do it.
My first experience with drive imaging software was with Norton Ghost and it worked well. However some think TrueImage by Acronis is much better. And then there are others who think the free way is the only way to do things. The choice of how you image a drive is up to you.
Here are the advantages to drive imaging:
- Everything is copied exactly as it was, exactly as you left it.
- No driver reinstalls and no updates necessary.
- It's faster than doing an OS reinstall.
The disadvantages are:
- Everything is copied exactly as it was, exactly the way you left it – including all the "leftovers" from the software you uninstalled over the years, registry anomalies.. etc.
- There is no speed advantage even if the drive is faster because the OS still has a bunch of crap on it.
- You need to copy the image of the drive somewhere – and you simply may not have the space – or the copy may fail.
Things you can do to make drive imaging easier and faster:
- If there's anything on your existing installation you can get rid of via Add/Remove that you don't mind losing, do it.
- Defrag the drive.
- Close everything (or as much as you can) before starting the imaging process.
Which one sounds better to you?
Given the choice, which would you pick? OS reinstall or drive image?

For Me Drive imaging is the way to go. I build a lot of my own systems and once I have the system tweaked the way I want it after a fresh rebuild I Image the hard drive. So if it get slugist or slow, I just reimage it and run the latest updates (A lot faster than running all the updates over) and I am go to go.
Vertimyst September 8th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
That's a great idea. I'll have to keep that in mind when I build my next system.
Garry Bradley September 8th, 2008 at 11:30 am
You need to have a recent disk image anyway. Without an image your
options are limited to OS reinstall. I boot my windows box on Knoppix and use partimage to a external drive. I have used
puppy for "short on memory situations" using a DD copy.
Vertimyst September 8th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
This is something I have to think about soon, so it's quite a coincidence that you wrote this article now.
The family PC (a Dell XPS Gen 5) is loaded with crap, and is extremely sluggish, not to mention I get strange blue pixels on the screen wherever there's a bright spot (i.e, on a light source in games), so I decided to do a wipe.
I think an OS reinstall is obviously the best way to go in this situation. Thanks for the tip about Dell systems, by the way. That will really come in handy this time around (last time, it took me forever to track down all the neccesary drivers).
Kevin Mason September 8th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
i would do an OS reinstall just to help get rid of all the crap that is on my pc
Jim September 8th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
i use drive image, but ,i make the image as soon as i do a clean install and have all ( at the time ) updates, and programs i use, and, i do this twice a year on my pc's, just to clean things up, always making a fresh image after it is upadted
Alex October 9th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
For me whenever i do any major hardware change i.e. mobo, CPU, ram, or system drive a clean install is the way to go it guarantees that there will be minimal quirks in the OS that could cause system instability and that you are using the new device to the maximum level possible. irregardless of that i find that it is a good idea to do a clean install every 6 months to clean out crap that is left over.

☾ 4 months , ☼ 122 days, ⌛ 2928 hours.
I've not been blogging for 4 months.
It took me a while to recover from this. I mean, was it that long?
I can't find a specific reason why I did not update my blog for the past 4 months. All I can say is that the feeling of 'unsatisfactory' had been building and growing up in me and I just wasn't happy with whatever I came up with. I took a bunch of pictures which I planned to put them up on my blog, but at last I decided not to. That, just went on and on for the past 4 months.
I'm not sure if you have ever experienced this in your entire life of existence, but I'm sure I did and it wasn't something I should be feeling. 'No one is perfect, but a little self-improvement won't hurt.' This sentence has been indelibly etched into my head, but I continuously failed at 'self-improvement'. Thus, 'unsatisfactory' happened so frequently that I neglected everything. I stopped working out, I stopped taking pictures, I stopped trying to improve myself because I just suddenly lost the enthusiasm to.
Day by day we curse the Universe for not giving us what we want. 'Trying to be someone else', that's what we are all trying to do. But to me 'trying to be someone else' can be for the good. It doesn't always mean that we are trying to act or talk like someone else, which what people often label as 'fake'. Sometimes 'trying to be someone else' can also mean by we are trying to be someone who we look up to and who often motivates us to be the best and look the best. It can Jillian Micheals or it can also be your favorite teacher. Anyone!
What I'm trying to say is that the feeling of 'unsatisfactory' often happens to us. Even though we are unaware of it, but we all feel 'unsatisfactory' at some point of our lives. It's totally fine. But it's up to you whether to overcome this feeling or to completely ignore it. I chose to ignore it and here I am, feeling regretful and somehow ashamed.
Stop whining and complaining about how fat you look or how your art works doesn't meet up to the public's standards. Your body or art work doesn't magically turns into your definition of 'perfection', life doesn't work that way. Guess it's about time to overcome this unhealthy feeling.
I don't know if this makes sense at all hahah! But I hope I'm passing out the correct information.☺
I don't know if this makes sense at all hahah! But I hope I'm passing out the correct information.☺

So I'm back. Finally! A new post after so so long!
I come here so often that I can officially label this car park as 'Richeen's so called hang-out spot for ootds' haha! I took the MINDLESS.INC team to this exact car park about one month ago and we were told to leave as soon as possible. He claimed that we were 'in the mall' and therefore, no photography or videography was allowed. But my sister and I came to the exact car park just a few days ago but no one came and told us to leave. Alright too much information, back to the main subject of this post!
As much as I try to avoid wearing full black, it's quite hard when 3/4 of my wardrobe is fill with clothes in black ☻ But, by pairing the essentials in your closet with a few statement pieces, you can create an ensemble that is both stylish and shows individuality. You can easily turn an ordinary-looking outfit into something 'wow' just by adding on a statement piece. It can be a statement necklace, a patterned bomber jacket, a neon coloured scarf... and the list goes on.
Sometimes it's good to step out of your comfort zone. Knowing what to own and how to use them creatively is the key to changing your style from boring to bold ;)
In this picture, I'm wearing a cut-out back top that I bought at H&M about a year ago (I think?) and a sheer midi skirt from FABSPY. Before I get into details, I must say that this skirt is definitely a YAY for all of you out there who loves midi skirts. The fabric is super comfortable and the length is just perfect! To me, this skirt goes well with anything!
The plaid outer that I'm wearing is actually a dress that I bought on the exact day of the shoot. I just thought, 'hmm my outfit looks boring today, why not put this on?' I've been eyeing on this dress for a really long time and I managed to score this for only 29MYR! Plus it was the last one, in my size too! Oh dang right it's fated! ;)

New York truckers plan a June 19 rally at the state's capitol to protest the state's ton- mile tax and other state issues hurting the industry.
Charles Claburn of Hudson Falls started Truckers and Citizens United of New York four months ago after parking his truck. The owner-operator had been leased to Wal-Mart, but diesel and other burdensome business costs motivated him to put his efforts into trying to improve the state's business climate for owner-operators.
Following a couple of meetings with state representatives over the problems, he is organizing a convoy of truckers and other motorists to bring attention to issues affecting the industry. Albany police and capitol officials have given them permission for the convoy and to host a speakers rally in front of the capitol.
Speakers will include state assembly members and trucking representatives. Radio talk show host Mark Williams of WROW 590 has promoted the event and will travel with the convoy and help host the events. After the rally, Claburn and others will meet with state transportation officials to discuss a DOT proposal to move more truck traffic from local road onto Interstates.
About 400 truckers are expected, with one convoy leaving Fultonville and another leaving Fort Ann. TCUNY has 7,500 members and nearly all are owner-operators or small fleet owners, he said.
A major issue is that New York is one of four states that have a ton-mile tax, also known as the highway use tax. Assembly members have considered bills since 1999 to eliminate the tax, the latest being A6435, which was held for consideration April 29 in the Ways and Means committee.
The tax, which affects trucks weighing 18,000 pounds or more, cost Claburn $7,500 last year and is based on miles traveled. The Owner-Operator Independent Driver Association and the New York State Motor Truck Association support ending this tax.
Another bill the group is supporting would eliminate state fuel taxes during the summer and also would allow local governments the option of waiving local sales taxes of 14 cents per gallon.
The Senate passed that bill (S7594A) May 7 and referred it to the House Ways and Means committee. If that bill were in effect, Claburn said he could buy 400 gallons of fuel for the local price of $5.17 per gallon and save $113 on a fill-up in state tax alone.
Other issues include:
The Fultonville convoy will assemble off Exit 28 of the New York Thruway at the Betty Beaver Truck Stop to leave at 9 a.m. They will travel down Albany's State Street by 10 a.m. and encircle the Capitol Building
More information is available by contacting Claburn at (518) 810-1776 or at his group's website.

By 9.10 Moscow time the Euro is at 1.3406 against yesterday's closing level of 1.3401.
A two-day summit of the European Union will start today; it is expected that Germany and France will propose to Eurozone new mechanisms for resolution of the European debt problems in the region. In addition a meeting of the European Central Bank will be held on Thursday where interest rate can be lowered by 25 basis points to 1%.
Due to expectations of a large number of important news the Euro/Dollar will be traded in the narrow range which, however does not rule out decline of the Euro if the rates will actually be lowered.
Tonight investors will be interested in statistics on the U.S. labour market.
Most likely the pair EUR/USD will not go beyond the range of 1.3350-1.3450 at the trading session on Thursday.

On February 7, at 9 a.m., Tax Help for Seniors (Free from AARP) is coming to our Claycomo Branch. IRS certified volunteers will provide free tax counseling and preparation. Then on February 8, at 10 a.m., the Avoid Tax Return Mistakes program will be presented. This class includes information on several key issues concerning changes in the tax landscape for many taxpayers.
Customers started asking us for tax forms in December. Traditionally, the forms begin arriving after Christmas. We know you want the forms, and we want to provide them to you. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over the availability of forms. Kansas has told us that they will not be sending us any forms, and we do not expect any Missouri forms either. I ordered 2010 Federal Tax Forms for my branch way back in August 2010. So, why are there so few forms at the library right now?
There are numerous free options available to obtain tax products, tax preparation, and assistance in filing your tax returns:

I know, I know. April 15th is over 2 months away, but it will be here sooner than you think. Before you panic, we are here to help. While we don't have every form available in print, what we don't have readily available, we can print out for you for a mere $.10 a page. In addition to that, every Tuesday between February 1st and April 15th, AARP will be here from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. helping seniors with moderate incomes with their tax returns for free.

Does tax time make you want to bury your head in the sand until April 15 (or April 18 this year, since the IRS gave us all a few extra days)? It does me, but fortunately, my husband actually enjoys this time of year. Here are a couple of his tips.

Death and taxes are the two things you can always count on. However, we can't always count on getting tax forms.
Unfortunately, the IRS has not mailed forms in about two years. It happened so quietly that a lot of us didn't notice—I certainly did not—and then we realized that it was time for taxes to be filed, and we still hadn't received our forms in the mail. Why haven't we gotten our forms in the mail you ask?

Wearing golden crowns; resuscitating, Alice amid her wonderland
One million years aside this prehistoric state; shelter love's child....

All about and into the volcano such sacrifice; transudations blood

Critical Review by Ellen Joseph
SOURCE: "Growing up Assured," in The Sunday Herald Tribune Book Week, October 25, 1964, pp. 21, 23.
In the following review, Joseph comments on the plot, themes, and characters of With Shuddering Fall.
The enthusiasm that greeted Joyce Carol Oates last year upon the publication of her first volume, a collection of short stories called By the North Gate, clearly was not misplaced.
Her new book, a novel titled With Shuddering Fall, is set in the same world as the stories, a world of harsh weather, gratuitous destruction, inarticulate men without the veneer of culture facing the extreme experiences of life.
The central figures are Karen Herz, the beautiful 17-year-old daughter of a dominating but indulgent farmer, and the racing car driver Shar, who encounters Karen when he comes to attend the death of his demented father in a junk-filled cabin on the edge...

7:00 PM ET, March 5, 2012
CONSOL Energy Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH -- By his own admission, Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Zbynek Michalek doesn't watch much film of opposing goalies.
The way Michalek figures it, he doesn't get enough shots to worry about it.
Maybe he should start.
Michalek scored for the first time since October, Chris Kunitz added his 19th goal of the season, and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 36 shots as the Penguins beat Phoenix 2-1 on Monday night for their sixth straight win.
"He needs to do a little better with his mental preparation and in our scouting report and pretend we play Phoenix every night," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.
Michalek -- who spent five seasons with the Coyotes before signing with Pittsburgh in 2010 -- beat Mike Smith to the stick side, and Kunitz followed with a nearly identical shot just over three minutes later as the Penguins improved to 10-1 in their last 11 home games.
The Pittsburgh bench erupted when Michalek scored for just the second time this season, yet it was Fleury who continually lifted his teammates out of their seats.
Phoenix put the pressure on, especially in the final frantic minutes when a pair of late power plays kept Fleury busy. He was up to the task, winning his sixth straight start and earning his 35th win of the season, one behind Nashville's Pekka Rinne for the NHL lead.
"He was our best player. He needed to be," Bylsma said. "He has been real solid in there. The consistency with which he's played has probably been the biggest thing for us."
Ray Whitney scored his 21st goal for the Coyotes, but Phoenix dropped its third straight after going unbeaten in regulation in February to surge to the top of the Pacific Division.
Smith recovered after a shaky start to finish with 26 saves, but couldn't stop Phoenix's longest slide since early December.
The skid started with home losses to Calgary and Columbus that kept the Coyotes from gaining breathing room at the top of the crowded Pacific, where four teams are separated by three points.
Though the Coyotes played much better against the Penguins than they did in a 5-2 loss to Columbus on Saturday, forward Radim Vrbata wasn't in the mood to celebrate a moral victory.
"The last two home games, they were not the best we could play," said Vrbata, who picked up the 200th assist of his career on Whitney's goal. "We wanted to have better effort, and we did that, but it wasn't enough to get points."
The Coyotes worked the puck side-to-side across the ice trying to get Fleury out of position. His mobility allows him to gobble up space quickly, and at one point he charged out of the net to stuff Martin Hanzal on a breakaway.
Yet his most important play might have been one he didn't make after watching teammate Matt Cooke crash into Smith at the other end of the ice.
Smith started punching Cooke as the forward laid on Smith's stick. Soon the goal mouth was filled with players.
Not Fleury, who ignored pleas from the crowd to skate over and jump in. Instead he remained in his crouch 150 feet away. With veteran backup Brent Johnson out because of an illness, and only rookie Brad Thiessen on the bench, Fleury understands he can't take any chances.
Fleury's only hiccup came early in the third on Whitney's 21st goal. Vrbata slipped a pass from the corner to the front of the net and found Whitney, who easily slid a shot past the lunging goalie.
It was a rare misstep for Fleury, who held on in the third despite a pair of late power plays for the Coyotes.
"He's been great all season long and he's the reason why we're up there in the standings," Michalek said of Fleury. "We can rely on him every single night. They came at us hard. He made so many unbelievable saves."
The Penguins needed every one to improve to 12-2-3 against Western Conference opponents. Fleury has stopped 163 of the last 168 shots he has faced, a .970 save percentage.
"It's a one-goal game, and you wish one of those shots would get by," Vrbata said. "He's a good goalie. That's his job to stop us."
Game notes
Pittsburgh D Kris Letang missed his second straight game due to concussion-like symptoms. The Penguins recalled Brian Strait from Wilkes-Barre of the AHL to fill in. ... The Penguins also scratched defenseman Deryk Engelland and forwards Eric Tangradi and Dustin Jeffrey. ... Forward Gilbert Brule and defenseman Michael Stone were scratched by the Coyotes . ... Phoenix will play at Columbus on Tuesday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freakonomics Part II,
G. Poirier (Orleans, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This book is essentially a continuation of the same general theme as the earlier one – Freakonomics. However, this one includes color illustrations near the center of the book; I found these to be quite interesting and useful in illustrating certain sections of the main text. This book occasionally makes reference to some material covered in Freakonomics, so a reader may wish to read these two books in the order in which they were published. The only down side for me in this particular book was reading the "Transcript from the First Freakonomics Radio Podcast", which is a small fourteen-page section near the end of the book. Although this may have been great to listen to on the radio, reading through it, for me, was rather boring; it can easily be skipped (as I should have done) with no loss in the book's useful/interesting content.
I believe that anyone who enjoyed Freakonomics will likely enjoy this book at least just as much. I certainly did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to Read,
Jethro Tull (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superfreakonomics (Hardcover)
Much like Freakonomics, Superfreakonomics is an entertaining book that covers a wide variety of unrelated topics in a fun way. But in contrast with Freakonomics, it is less reliant on econometric analysis and more on anecdotal evidence. As a result, its conclusions should be taken with a grain of salt.
For example, their finding that it is safer to drive than walk while drunk depends on several assumptions that may not hold. One such assumption is that the level of inebriation is on average the same for both drunk walkers and drunk drivers whereas, as they point out themselves earlier in the section, most people believe it is safer to walk when drunk, indicating that those who walk while drunk are probably more inebriated than those who drive while drunk. But to put things in context, that was just a small example and is only a very minor part of the book.
Sadly, many critics and reviewers are basing their entire opinion of the book on the last chapter concerning global warming. Let me just point out that it is not true that they are claiming that global warming is not a problem. Yes, they do mention some old global cooling theories from the 70's. But put this in the context of this book - a random collection of fun facts - and you can see why such theories were mentioned.
But that misses the main point of the chapter. In fact, the purpose of the chapter is to find a way to cool the globe, but using geoengineering, as opposed to restricting emissions of Carbon Dioxide. They propose an idea sponsored by Intellectual Ventures, a company whose business is to accumulate patents in a wide range of fields. The plan basically entails the injection of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, which would reflect sunlight and possibly cool the Earth. The authors propose this as a much cheaper and possibly effective solution for global warming.
You can see why environmentalists may be annoyed by this book: it gives their political opponents some ammunition in a critical time when they are trying to pass environmental regulation. It is thus critical, for them, to destroy the credibility of the book and its authors. Perhaps this is an understandable position, but the attacks on this chapter of the book are highly unwarranted in any other context given that it is merely proposing new ideas, and there's nothing wrong with that. For all we know, more research could prove that such schemes are effective.
Buy this book if you enjoy reading a collection of fun, often counter-intuitive, random "facts" about controversial issues. I would give it 5 stars for entertainment value, but I only gave it 4 stars out of 5 because the high level of econometric analysis that could be found in Freakonomics is virtually non-existent here, making the sequel sloppy and less rigorous.
4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars,
This review is from: Superfreakonomics (Hardcover)
Loved this book and the underlying concepts; however I didn't enjoy it as much as the original
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book,
The authors go a long way beyond basic economics to analyse the way things work these days. They break down systems I to their small parts and analyse the relationships. Lots of food for thought. I am thoroughly enjoying this book.
4.0 out of 5 stars fact and factoid heaven,
Michael Petsalis (Kirkland, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SuperFreakonomics (Kindle Edition)
You'll have to go through all the references and related research to determine if it's all true, but it sure makes for entertaining reading. Stop pollution? Nah, just spray a smidgen of sulphur in the higher atmosphere and it's all gone.
Read for sure, but then think and make your own judgments. For me, one day less per week of read meat won't hurt and I'll help curb cow farts.

Trent Norman Ross Gillespie "I am the Walrus" (Prince Albert, SK, Canada) - See all my reviews
LOVED Freakonomics and all its connections, so this one was a let down when the connections are weak and not formulated enough to truely compare to the first book. There are some great articles to read, but not as good as Freakonomics.
4.0 out of 5 stars A bit disjointed,

Some stuff is pretty good, but some is a bit lame. Jumps around a lot. Author says as much in the forward but you have to learn code.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but I wanted another chapter or two. it felt so brief. The autheors get into theory a bit more than the previous book, but still a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Microeconomic Speculations Intended to Challenge and Amuse,
Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 124,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superfreakonomics (Hardcover)
"But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?'" -- Acts 7:27
One of the earliest lessons of microeconomics has been credited to Pareto, based on his observation that 20 percent of the people have 80 percent of the wealth. Since then, we've learned that many other things are distributed in similarly lopsided fashion. If we focus on where there is little opportunity, we get little done. If we focus instead where there is great opportunity, the results may well be virtually unlimited. SuperFreakonomics, like Freakonomics before it, uses Pareto's perspective in a variety of areas where you probably don't normally think that unusual solutions at low cost might hold. The results can be enlightening and amusing, at the same time.
Here's a brief summary of the book:
Chapter 1: Economic inequality of women as exemplified by salary information with a lot of documentation of price elasticity and inelasticity in sex-worker employment.
Chapter 2: Using unusual patterns to locate terrorist intent on suicidal attacks. A shortened life expectation shifts behavior in ways that can be observed.
Chapter 3: People respond to incentives rather than to altruism. Measurements are challenged by newer measurements that take more factors into account.
Chapter 4: Seemingly possible inexpensive ways to solve difficult problems. Filled with more amusing speculation than substance.
Chapter 5: Curtailing carbon dioxide emissions won't cure global warming. The authors look at speculative ideas for changing the heat-trapping qualities of the atmosphere and oceans.
Epilogue: Monkeys can be trained to act like people with money.
If that mix of material seems a little random, the underlying theme is that microeconomic analysis can bring new insights, even where you wouldn't expect it to. Methinks the authors doth protest a little too much.
I could have done with a lot less information about prostitution. I don't really need to understand price elasticity in that area. This material felt a little like pandering to sell more books.
I enjoyed the terrorist chapter. If the book had been more like that, it would have been a lot more interesting.
The studies of motives seemed better suited to a book on social science research than to a popular book.
In the inexpensive solutions, I thought that the authors were reaching to be entertaining more than they were trying to inform.
In the global warming section, the points about carbon dioxide compared to water vapor and methane are accurate and well presented. But the authors went off the deep end in pursuing alternatives. These suggestions are more in the realm of speculation than proven alternatives.
Will the book harm you? Probably not.
Will the book give you a great big insight that will reward you for reading it? Maybe not.
Will the book give you lots to talk with other people? Sure.
I hope the authors will attempt to be more solution oriented in future books and less driven by a desire to be "entertaining."

FALSE REPORT. More Details Here
The young victim told police that while she was in the area of Beach Boulevard and Santa Rosa Avenue, a man approached her and told her she was coming with him, according to Pacifica Police Chief Jim Tasa.
When the girl refused, the man attempted to physically force her, but she punched him and was able to run away.
Police searched the area but did not capture the suspect, who was last seen on Santa Rosa Avenue, running toward Palmetto Avenue.
Police released a sketch of the suspect (pictured above) who was described as a white male adult, 30 to 40 years old, with brown hair. He was 6 feet tall with a stocky build and a tan complexion, wearing blue jeans, a red checkered shirt and black shoes.
Anyone with information regarding the suspect's identification is asked to call the Pacifica Police Department at 650-738-7314.

Hi Folks,
I've been experimenting with both iTALC and LANView recently and have a couple of queries that I hope someone else can shed some light onto.
Ideally I would like to install the LANView client on each PC in the school for use by myself and the other guys in the ICT team (using the LANView server on our own PC's).
I would also like to setup the LANView server on the teacher's PC's in each of our main suites (20 PC's in each suite), but restrict the teacher to seeing just the PC's in his/her suite, rather than the whole network. I've tried applying the "allowed computers" registry fix for the LANView clients as mentioned on the MST Software forums, but this doesn't work. Has anyone else seen this issue?
As an alternative I had a look at iTALC, which looks really good and is more suited to classroom management. I have it up and running in one suite and everything works fine, but I am getting exception errors relating to ica.exe every time I log a PC on or off. Is this a known bug, and is there a resolution? I have looked on the iTALC wiki, but it doesn't provide much information.
Unfortunately we can't afford NetOp or even some of the cheaper alternatives!
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance,

I can't believe it's come to this. As most people know by now, Conan O'Brien will be exiting The Tonight Show, likely after Friday's show. It's a bitter end to his truncated run on the show, and the real hell is how easily it could have been avoided if things had just played out the way peop ... More >>

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) -- A Southern Indiana former funeral director could be out of jail in less than a year after pleading guilty to more than 60 felony counts in Clark County.
It's been more than two years since Richard Pyke was arrested for funeral-related crimes such as reporting a person dead and pocketing their burial insurance money.
He also admitted to giving people what they thought were their cremated loved ones, but turned out not to be. In court Monday he admitted to doing things like that in Henryville and Memphis, Ind. as far back as 1992.
As he pleaded guilty he gave some insight as to why he defrauded people from New Albany to Henryville, many of them seniors and people in mourning. In Pyke's own words, he was trying to "keep up with the Joneses" spending money he didn't have and getting it by taking money for services he didn't provide.
For the 64 counts of theft, insurance fraud, and violation of cremation statues, Pyke faced as many as 16 years in jail. A judge did sentence him to 16 years however she suspended 10 years of the punishment. Pyke stands to have the remaining six years in jail cut in half for good behavior. He's already served just over two and a half years behind bars, which means he could be up for release in nine to 10 months.
In August 2011 Pyke was sentenced in Floyd County court for similar crimes through his New Albany funeral home. His two year sentence will run concurrent to his Clark County sentence.
