Operation MH/CHAOS was the code name for a secret domestic spying program conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency in the late 1960s and early 1970s, after being charged with unmasking possible foreign influences on the student antiwar movement. CIA counterinsurgency officer Frank Rafalko was a member of the CHAOS special operations group. His inside account of the controversial operation provides information never before brought to light. In the book, Rafalko tells how by 1969 the group included sixty officers and their informants who reported on the activities of U.S. citizens abroad and infiltrated foreign antiwar groups that might have ties to U.S. groups. Eventually, he says, the program was expanded to include domestic leftists or counter-cultural groups with no discernible connection to the antiwar movement, including women's liberation groups, Students for a Democratic Society, and the Black Panther Party. The group disbanded following the Watergate scandal that involved two former CIA officers.
MH/CHAOS was exposed by the New York Times in 1974 and further details were revealed during Congressional hearings that prompted the government to launch investigations into CIA surveillance activities within the United States. Rafalko refutes the charges made by the Times and takes issue with the government findings. He makes the case that their activities were justified and that the CIA was the logical agency to collect information. The author argues his point by providing details secretly collected by his group against the New Left and black extremists. The book describes how MH/CHAOS began, how it was staffed, and how it was transformed into an anti-terrorist unit before it ceased operation. The first book to reveal such details, it also calls attention to the consequences suffered by the American counterintelligence community because of the government investigations.
Frank J. Rafalko, a recognized counterintelligence expert, served as a CIA officer for thirty-two years. His assignments included adviser and acting chief to the National Reconnaissance Office's counterintelligence unit, chief of the National Counterintelligence Center's Counterintelligence Community Training Branch and adviser to the State Department's Overseas Security Policy Board. He lives in North Carolina.
Praise for MH/CHAOS
"Given Rafalko's service to both counterintelligence and counterintelligence history, his book and its arguments, though limited, are well worth considering in a serious manner. Where he succeeds, we are warned; where he fails, we are given the opportunity to consider some of the structural difficulties in the practice of counterintelligence in a democratic, liberties-oriented domestic environment. Agree or disagree with his arguments, Rafalko's book is a useful attempt to deal with important concerns. "
— International Journal of Intelligence Ethics, Summer 2012
"One of the most important and absorbing intelligence books of the year. Rafalko dismantles the argument that the CIA must maintain an interest in happenings that only occur in faraway lands. There is often a 'corridor' or channel where intelligence inevitably falls —and this must be gathered, shared, and disseminated by domestic and overseas services alike. A five star offering."
— Eye Spy (British publication)
"[Rafalko] writes with the insight of a counterintelligence expert. [The book] will perhaps stand as the ultimate objective study of a program that proved highly controversial."
— The Washington Times, December 9, 2011
"The definitive account of the CIA's controversial MH/CHAOS operation has long been missing from the intelligence literature. Only a real counterintelligence pro like Frank Rafalko could fill that gap, and he has admirably and expertly done so. Frank gets it right. Readers who thought they had the full story from the media and the Church Commission will have to look again."
—JAMES M. OLSON, former chief of CIA Counterintelligence and author of Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying
"The author lays out a compelling and fact–based readable narrative of the assessments of the individuals in the CIA tasked to respond to growing domestic and international terrorist threats to U.S. national security during the highly emotional and turbulent period in American political and cultural history of the 1960s and 1970s. Social change is rampant in all aspects of American life during this period, when numerous U.S. cities were engulfed in riots and terrorism attacks. Frank Rafalko tells the uncomfortable truth of this period of American history. It is a story that has never been told with as much clarity from someone on the 'inside' that knows firsthand the dynamic events of the period, and readers will gain a new and profound respect for the CIA and FBI personnel who fight every day to keep the U.S. free and safe."
—DAVID G. MAJOR, retired FBI supervisory special agent, owner and founder of the CI Centre and Spypedia
"Frank Rafalko, beginning in the mid-1990s, became the de facto historian of American counterintelligence by producing a four-volume history for the National Counterintelligence Center. He has followed this up with the present volume, which will be wildly controversial but which is, in my judgment, the definitive history of MH/CHAOS. Whether Rafalko is correct in his judgments is frankly immaterial. What is indisputable is that Rafalko's history of his unit is the best we are ever likely to see."
—LOUIS R. SADLER, Professor Emeritus, New Mexico State University, and co-author of The Archaeologist Was a Spy: Sylvanus Morley and the Office of Naval Intelligence and the prize-winning Secret War in El Paso and The Texas Rangers and the Mexican Revolution

I stacked about an equation $\frac{dp}{dt}=t^2p-p+t^2-1$ I know this equation will be $p=$(something about t) I got $$\int\frac{1}{p+1}dp=\int(t^2-1)dt$$
After take the integral I got
$$\ln|p+1|+c = \frac{1}{3}t^2-t+c$$
after this step I stacked. How can I simplify like p = something? Is it possible to write $e^{p+1}=\frac{1}{3}t^2-t+K$ and rewrite like $(p+1)\ln e=\ln(\frac{1}{3}t^2-t+K)$?
If you know how to solve this question could you post your idea on the wall?
Thank you!

Breast Enlargement
Surgery Overview
During surgery to enlarge the breasts (augmentation mammoplasty), an implant is placed under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle beneath the breast. An implant is a soft silicone shell filled with silicone gel or a saline (saltwater) solution.
To position the implant, an incision is made in the bottom crease of the breast, the armpit, or along the lower edge of the areola (the colored area surrounding the nipple). The implant is inserted through the incision and may be placed under either the breast tissue or the chest muscle beneath the breast. Some doctors believe that putting the implant beneath the chest muscle lowers the risk for a condition called capsular contracture (hardening of tissue surrounding the implant) and interferes less with mammography than when the implant is under the breast tissue but in front of the muscle. After the implant has been carefully adjusted to the correct shape and position, the incision is closed with stitches.
A breast lift (mastopexy) may be done at the same time as the breast enlargement. A breast lift can raise sagging or drooping breasts and elevate the nipple and areola. To lift the breasts, excess skin from the bottom of the breast and the area around the areola is removed. The remaining skin is then brought together, which tightens and raises the breast. A breast lift requires larger incisions than a breast enlargement alone. Incisions may extend from the areola down to the crease where the bottom of the breast meets the chest.
Breast enlargements and lifts are usually done as outpatient procedures in a hospital or outpatient surgery center. An overnight stay in the hospital is not needed unless there are complications during surgery. General anesthesia is typically used, although local anesthesia or an epidural may be used.
What To Expect After Surgery
Immediately after the surgery, gauze is taped over the stitched incisions, and the breasts are wrapped in an elastic bandage or supported by a special bra. The stitches may be removed in 7 to 10 days.
Most women have some swelling, bruising, and soreness in their breasts for several days after the procedure. Medicine can help relieve the pain. Swelling and bruising may last for several weeks. Some women also have a burning sensation in their nipples right after surgery. Wearing a supportive bra 24 hours a day can help reduce swelling and support the breasts while they heal.
Most women can resume their normal work and social activities within a few days, unless those activities involve heavy lifting or strenuous exercise. Your doctor will tell you when you can return to more vigorous exercise and activities.
You will have scars after breast enlargement surgery. But these are usually in well-concealed areas (such as the crease under the breast, the armpit, or the border of the areola). These procedures are designed to minimize scarring so that incisions are not easily seen. Scars usually fade after several months. Having a breast lift in addition to an enlargement leaves larger, more visible scars.
Why It Is Done
Breast enlargement surgery is done to increase the size of the breasts and enhance their shape. You may decide to get breast implants to:
- Enhance breasts you consider too small. The definition of what is "too small" (or too large, for that matter) varies from woman to woman. There is no universal standard below which breasts are considered too small. If you are content with the size of your breasts, then they are not too small.
- Restore the size or shape of the breasts after significant weight loss or pregnancy. A breast lift may be done at the same time as the enlargement in these cases.
- Make the breasts more evenly proportioned. In many women, one breast may be larger or sit higher than the other.
Breast implants may also be used to reconstruct breasts after surgery for breast cancer (mastectomy).
How Well It Works
Breast enlargement surgery can increase your breast size by one or more bra cup sizes. It can also reduce differences in size and shape between your breasts.
Breast implants will not prevent the breasts from sagging as a result of future pregnancy, weight gain or loss, or aging.
Most women who have breast implants will need at least one more implant surgery in their lives.
Breast implants may make it harder to detect breast cancer on a mammogram. Other risks of getting breast implants include:
- Capsular contracture. This condition is one of the most common problems caused by breast implants. It occurs when scar tissue around the implant hardens and begins to squeeze the implant. It can cause hardening of the breast tissue, rippling in the skin of the breast, and changes in the shape of the breast. It may also be painful. Surgery is sometimes needed to remove the scar tissue or replace the implant when capsular contracture develops.
- Loss of feeling in the nipples or breast tissue due to nerve damage. Often this is temporary, but it may be permanent in some women.
- Differences in size or shape of the breasts after surgery.
- Changes in the implant. Normal activity or an injury to the breast can damage the implant, causing it to leak, deflate, or rupture. Over time, the implant may harden, develop ripples, shift position, or change shape. Surgery may be needed to remove the implant and replace it (if desired) if any of these changes occur.
- Infection (not common). This can occur at any time, but it typically occurs during the first week after surgery. In some cases of infection, the implant may have to be removed for several months and then replaced.
- Blood collection under the skin, or hematoma (uncommon).
- Abnormal scarring (uncommon).
Having more than one procedure at the same time, such as a breast lift and breast enlargement, increases the risk of problems after the surgery.
What To Think About
Newer silicone implants contain a gel-like material instead of a liquid. These types of implants do not leak if they are punctured or cut.
Most women who get breast implants are satisfied with the results. You are likely to be happy with the results if you have clear, realistic expectations about the surgery and share these with your doctor. Implants will make your breasts larger and perhaps give them a shape you are more pleased with, but no surgeon can guarantee perfection.
Also keep in mind that:
- Breast enlargements and lifts do not prevent changes in the breast that occur as a result of future pregnancies, weight gain or loss, or the force of gravity over time.
- Implants may later need to be surgically removed or replaced if they leak, rupture, wrinkle, change shape, or develop other problems. It is likely that you will have to have a second surgery at some point. Saline implants rupture at a rate of 1 out of 100 each year.1
- Some of the changes in the breast tissue and skin caused by implants are permanent. If you later have the implants removed, the breasts may have permanent wrinkles, dimples, or other changes.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that women with breast implants have a breast MRI 3 years after getting the implant and then every 2 years after that.2 The MRI is done to check if the implant is intact and the breast tissue looks healthy. The costs of this regular testing can be greater than the initial cost of getting the implant and may not be covered by insurance.
Insurance will not cover the cost of breast implants unless they are being used as part of breast reconstruction after surgery for breast cancer. Likewise, insurance may not cover the costs of treatment for complications that arise during or after surgery or for future surgeries to remove or replace the implants. Check with your insurance company to find out whether getting breast implants will affect how much you pay for your insurance and what you are covered for.
Breast cancer screening (mammography) after surgery
A breast implant can hide abnormal breast tissue or lesions, making detection of abnormal or cancerous breast tissue during mammography more difficult. To produce accurate, high-quality images, the breast has to be squeezed fairly tightly. In rare cases, this causes a breast implant to leak or rupture. Also, scarring and calcium deposits around the implant may look like cancerous tissue and make the mammogram harder to interpret.
If you have breast implants and need to have a mammogram, tell the technician when you schedule the mammogram what type of implants you have (saline or silicone) and whether they are behind or in front of the chest muscle. You may need more views taken than are done during a typical screening. In some cases, MRI scans may be needed to produce a clear image.
Controversy over breast implant safety
Research studies are looking at the possible connection between silicone gel breast implants and connective tissue disease. So far, studies don't show that these implants cause connective tissue disease.3
A few women with breast implants have developed anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) that started in breast tissue near the implant. Although these cases are very rare, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is gathering information about a possible connection between implants and ALCL.

Strassel: Conservatives for Immigration Reform
While the media focuses on the 'war' within the GOP over immigration, the real story is how committed the party is to reform.
The Heritage Foundation on Monday released a report designed to kill immigration reform. A few days later, nearly 30 leaders, hailing from the core of the conservative movement—think tanks, faith groups, political and advocacy organizations—signed a public letter backing the congressional process. Which got more notice?
The media glory in conflict, and so they devoted this week to the angry feud/war/battle in the GOP over immigration reform. The evidence? One research document from one think tank. The real news is the growing unity among conservative leaders and groups over the need to at least embrace the challenge of reform. This is no 2007.
At the height of that past fray over immigration—as restrictionists whipped up seething grass-roots anger against reform, drowning out proponents—Heritage released a similar report. It fueled a raging fire, and played a singular role in derailing reform.
This time the Heritage report—which purports to show how much a founding principle of America will "cost" taxpayers—was coolly dismissed by peers. Members of influential conservative groups—from Americans for Tax Reform to the Cato Institute to the American Action Forum—immediately held a press call demolishing the report's numbers, methodology and analysis.
These leaders then joined dozens of others—from the tea party, the American Conservative Union, the Manhattan Institute, the Southern Baptist Convention and more—to meet with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to talk reform. Even those few attendees who remain opposed were there—engaged in honest dialogue. No napalm. No bazookas.
On Thursday came the public letter—with more names, from the Faith & Freedom Coalition, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Latino groups, Catholic groups. TV and radio hosts that last time drove the frenzy have largely held their fire. Allies of reform, unlike in 2007, are holding regular calls and meetings, divvying up jobs, running ads. What makes this cooperation notable is that it is happening despite the Senate bill's flaws, and despite substantive policy disagreements among conservatives on everything from visas to border security to employer verification.
"This has been a unified approach, rather than a divisive approach," says Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the president of the American Action Forum. "And it reflects six or seven years of accumulated wisdom, that it will fall to conservatives to fix this problem."
That wisdom has mostly been about acknowledging there is a problem. The 2007 conservative cry of "deportation!" rested in an odd belief that U.S. jackboots could make the illegal problem disappear with a few energetic raids. The absurdity of that has sunk in, helped along by Mitt Romney's more absurd call for "self-deportation." Mr. Rubio's point that today's illegal immigrants already have "de facto amnesty" has clarified for many conservatives the need to act.
That wisdom also reflects a keener grasp of how Barack Obama operates. The president wants citizenship for illegal immigrants, but he cares little for Republican concerns about the border, or fairness, or guest workers. His executive order stunt granting temporary status to young immigrants shows that he would happily "reshape the system by executive fiat, which is the last thing any conservative should want," notes Steven Law, president and CEO of American Crossroads.

The 2007 effort was driven by George W. Bush and John McCain—both of whom at that time inspired deep grass-roots ire. This time around, Mr. Rubio has the conservative street cred to draw in allies, while his outreach and his vow to steadily improve the Senate bill has given the process the room to proceed.
Nevertheless, immigration reform will be hard, maybe even impossible. It might still devolve into a conservative argy-bargy. Because there is a split in the GOP, one that is highlighting an important philosophical divide that transcends stale categories like "conservative" or "moderate" or "anti-amnesty" or "pro-business."
On the reform side, occupied by Mr. Rubio and growing numbers of conservatives, is a party that wants to rekindle its pro-growth roots, that has remembered it succeeds when it exudes optimism and solves problems. That is why the media judgment that the GOP is simply in search of "Hispanic votes" is trite. The right's budding embrace of reform reflects something bigger, an effort to reclaim principles that appeal to broad swaths of the public.
The other side—the Heritages, the National Reviews, the Jeff Sessions—are still channeling the party's more angry, reactive element. That bitterness—the obsession with income redistribution and equality, the fear-and-envy approach—are traditionally the remit of the far left of U.S. politics.
It isn't a winning philosophy, but it is an easy means to channel the rage of Americans frustrated by this presidency, by his welfare state, by the hard economic times. Which is why—despite the fewer voices today shouting this chorus—it remains a potent threat.
The test for the GOP now is which side wins out. That is why so many conservative leaders came out this week for efforts to fix our broken immigration system. They know that if they are to avoid a repeat of 2007, now comes the hard part.

What brand of shoes do you gravitate toward when you *need* a pair?
I don't mean casual shopping, but the "I-need-a-pair-now" kind of shoes. Is it whatever Payless/(insert store name here) has on sale? Or do you find a good deal on Nike/New Balance/Adidas/etc. somewhere else? When it's crunch time, what brand of shoes will you buy?
41 Answers answer
BØrn. They are comfortable and last a long time!
I've fallen in love with Nike Alvord 9 trail running shoes, but it's harder to find them now. I did however buy the Alvord 10 recently, and they are just as comfy. Mind you, I don't run, but they have good traction, so I love them for that!
I have an 11 1/2 EEE shoe size and I wear dress shoes to work everyday. I wear Johnston and Murphy. Expensive, but worth every penny.
Timberland. Great on pavement, great on a mountain, and built to last. I buy about one pair a decade. If I needed a pair of shoes "right now", that'd be my first thought.
My VANS sneakers have served me well and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I grab a few pairs at the outlet every time I visit my Mom.
I like New Balance. They're good for being on your feet all day and they don't break the bank.
Top 3:
Simple (no longer made)
Skechers D'Lites are my favorite. They are light and comfy.
New Balance from Famous Footwear. Decent enough shoes (I only do light walking and a little running). Great prices, great return policies.
I never need a pair, so to speak. I have only 2 or 3 shoe "models" that I purchase and I wait for them to go on sale and stock up. I bought 5 pairs of one shoe at one time and just kept the spares in the closet until my original pair wore/broke down.
Whatever is on sale and feels comfortable, and looks best.
Ever since they discontinued FILA Italia, I've been looking for another brand of shoes.
I haven't had much luck..
Every Sketchers I've ever owned fell apart within 6 months or so. I've had very mixed experiences with Nike. I always go to New Balance and Reebok if I want a decent shoe. Adidas has been pretty good to me too.
My current pair are Montrail hiking boots, purchased on closeout online for about 50% off 2 years ago. I wear a 10.5 and they took about 2 months of casual wear to totally break them in, but WOW are they comfy now. No hammer toe coming downhill.
Other brands I like: Columbia, Merrell, Timberland, Keen (for various reasons)
BTW I live in the Northern Rockies (Glacier NP area), so hikers are the rule (or water shoes for kayaking & rafting). My dress shoes are only taken out for special events.
I'm totally with @baybei on Nike's Alvord trail shoes, they are my favorite tennis shoes ever. As for dress shoes for work, I usually buy Etienne Aigner, they are comfortable and last.
Sketchers used to be my go to, but the replacement pair I got was terrible. Now I'm just hanging on to my last very old pair of Sketchers hoping they don't fall apart.
New Balance Trail Runners for every day tennies.
Keen for hikers and water shoes.
Keds or Propet mules for under-the-desk shoes (Ihate wearing shoes and frequently take them off at work).
Nike flip flops for truck and travel shoes.
Vans. I've never had a pair of Vans last me less than two years.
For walking shoes I like Asics gels. I get the boys' shoes because they are cheaper and wider than women's shoes. For work shoes for the winter I go to the Thanksgiving sale at KMart and buy leather Thom McCann heels and flats at half price every year. During the summer I buy sandals whenever and wherever I find ones I like at a good price.
SAS. Made in USA.
Costco Court Classics all the way! Best wearing and fitting pair of sneakers for double or three times the price (around $15).
Buster Brown
They make your feet feel fine
They cost a dollar forty nine
I like Vans. My current pair has lasted me right around two years of basically daily use, and I'd say I still have a good couple of months in them.
I tend to be sort of picky with shoes though (I have very strange feet), so it ends up being a balance of price, brand, comfort, and style. Not going to pay too much for a pair of shoes, and certain brands I have to avoid because their cut just doesn't fit my feet. In my experience, stores like Payless overwhelmingly have shoes I wouldn't wear (not the biggest fan of ridiculously large neon sneakers).
I guess I can't really afford to let myself hit crunch time when it comes to shoes haha. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
@pyxientx: I forgot my Keen hikers! Love those things.
Dr. Martens - also good for boots.
BØrn, New Balance, Merrell, Nunn Bush, Crocs
@inkycatz: Docs? I haven't worn 20 hole Docs since I was a teen with a neon orange 13 1/2" mohawk. Oh, the memories...
@pyxientx: Yeah, they work really well on the hills around here. :)
For work I used to do Skechers and Reebok, but they don't hold up like they used to, so not it's whatever is on sale and loks cute.
If I have the money-Zanotti's Yuummmmmyyy!!
And if I'm in the mood. Docs. I love em. They hold up well and they're comfy. Great for hiking.
I've bought the same Nike trail running shoe from the Nordstrom Rack for the past 5+ years for my everyday shoes. They change colors every year, although buying from the Rack they are last years version, but they fit perfect every time, I don't bother looking at any other shoes. In fact it's been a couple of years and it's getting to be time to replace the current pair.
@minxa1: The Zanotti's are very swanky! :D (My swanky shoe would be a Fluevog, bought way below regular sticker price.)
Sperry's and Lacoste. But I am a bit of a fancy dandy.
Adidas or K-Swiss. I've had good luck with them, though my last pair of Adidas aren't as sturdy as the other ones I've bought in the past... so I'll be more picky in the future.
I guess it would depend on what I was using them for.
For athletics I prefer in this order then choose by price, comfort and looks
I just bought a pair of Mizunos and I am pleasantly surprised
Casual/Dress shoes I look for style and price
No brand loyality
For work/casual, it was Sketchers, but quality has been going downhill. What was nice was that I new how my size fit, and I could feel pretty confident buying them online. Now, I need to go to the store, see what they have, try to guess at quality, etc. I just have a growing list of makers whose products I have been dissatisfied with (reminds me of the elections). In a crunch, would probably buy, just because I know how they will fit.
Sneakers - whatever brand name is on sale.
Running shoes - Asics GT-2170. Actually got fitted at a running store, and these are what the doctor ordered for my particular issues. So I stick with 'em, adding 10 per year (I think they were 2150's when I started).
I'm a sucker for Cons, they're cheap, I know my fit, and I can usually get an amazing bright color. They've been terrible to actually walk in, so "sucker" is absolutely the right term there.
I live in my Asics. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.
New Balance for work, Crocs and Sketchers for home. I spend the majority of the day on my feet, so I don't care how ugly they are, as long as they feel good. I used to wear Sketchers almost exclusively, but like others have said, the quality has become poor. The pull on fashion styles are okay, but the sneakers and boots--awful.
Ecco anything they make is awesome!! Very comfy and they last forever! I just bought 2 more pairs today Check them out
Walk into the shoe store, ask for whatever they have in a size 14 (sometimes 15). They bring out 2 or 3 pairs and I pick one.
Clarks, usually from DSW as they have good prices. Sometimes from shoe stores in the UK when I'm there.
I almost always wear Reef. They're slightly expensive, but it's better to spend for something that will last for years than spend a third of the price and have it fall apart in a few months.

Center Stage
It was a Motown moment when Orange County School of the Arts held its annual gala at the Hotel Irvine, thanks to the institution's talented students. They put on a showstopping performance that paid homage to music icons like the Four Tops, Aretha Franklin and The Supremes—and their renditions of the classics had the 600 creatively minded guests dancing in their, well, seats. When they weren't grooving along to "I'll Be There" or "Think," Tim Kashani, Joe Lewis, and Karen and Brandon Ogden bid on live and silent auction prizes, and sipped signature Temptation-tinis. (Fitting, no?) And attendees exploded in applause when they learned that the school had raised $9.5 million for its campus completion project, a $20 million effort that will begin with the construction of a new institutional center this summer.

I currently have a Time Capsule backing up all of my photos but I'm looking for advice on how else to back them up. I feel as though I should have an online back up along with the Time Capsule or external hard drives. What does everyone else do?
I have two hard drive backups but no online backup as my ISP counts uploads and I'd rather not spend mountains of time waiting for gigabytes of RAW files to back up. This, I suppose, would be a subjective preference, whereas hard drive backup is essential.
This is my setup. The 1TB hard drive is backed up using Time Machine, and the 750GB is backed up using Carbon Copy Cloner. I've found in the past that Time Machine has skipped random important files or changes which should have been backed up, resulting in lost data, to which I responded by adding a second non-Time Machine backup.
If you really want, you could do a weekly offsite backup. Bring a large external in, do the backup then take to it a friend's or relative's place to store.
There are three key risks to be concerned about when planning backups:
In order to protect against all three, you need to have have an offsite backup. A simple solution on a Mac is Super Duper plus a pair of USB or FireWire drives, each larger than all of your active drives put together. Set up Super Duper to clone your disks nightly, and keep one at work or a friend's house. Weekly, rotate the drives - take one in to work and bring the other home (they should never both be at home, because then you have no offsite backup during that period). This plan should set you back around $250 and is pretty easy to follow.
Or, you could use Reid's patented [1] mega-overkill backup scheme [2]:
The MacBooks in the house use Super Duper over the network to create disk images on the server (above), to piggyback on this plan.
This is all coordinated automatically by a Python script I wrote.
[1] Not really.
[2] I actually do this.
[3] Photos not included in these steps.
This is a very popular question and many common solution do not think through all the cases. Reid's answer actually lists the 3 main events which require backups. I wrote this article about this recently which covers these and a few more cases.
The main point is that you have to spend effort in proportion to the safety you wish to have and that backups need to accommodate multiple eventualities.
It depends. What are the photos worth to you?
My process lately is a bit, well, simple. It does not guarantee 100% recovery of every image should the worst happen. But I'm OK with that.
I shoot raw to CF. Those CF are imported to LR and converted to DNG either on my laptop (away from home) or my desktop (most stuff).
In either case, the cards are NOT erased until later.
Once I have a working copy on my system, I make a second copy out to my Drobo at home. It is physically on the opposite side of the house, so something bad happening in my office won't impact it... but it is still in the same house.
Anything that I worked with on the laptop is brought onto my desktop when I get back home. The desktop is both time machined (not to the drobo) and raided, so dataloss on it would require multiple independent disks to die at once.
Only once I have those two copies (desktop and drobo), do I consider clearing the images off the card. Most often though, I don't until I actually need the card to shoot again.
Now I process the images in LR and do my first pass cut at a minimum, usually I do 2 passes through. Any image that is even remotely usable, i.e. it didn't get rejected out of hand as bad focus etc, is then uploaded to the internet. (Specifically to private galleries on my SmugMug account - disclaimer, I work for SmugMug now, but I started doing this before then.)
Now I continue with final processing (usually days later, I use an iterative processing approach) and upload the final keeper images to public galleries on SmugMug, with the raws (dng) vaulted along with the jpgs.
In the end, my best images are stored in several places:
workstation: original raw in LR catalog, processed dng in LR catalog
workstation timemachine: same as above
drobo: original raw from the CF
Amazon S3 (via SmugMug): display copies and (vaulted) raw
That gives me the ability to undo any accidental errases (btdt) by pulling from time machine or the drobo, recover from corrupted LR catalogs (btdt) via the same method, plus the ability to get back my best images from the cloud if something bad happens at my house. For my family shots, my vacation snaps, even the scenics I try to sell, that's enough piece of mind for me.
Conversely, a few years back I helped a friend set up her storage scheme for her studio shooting. Since these images are her paycheck, they mean a lot more to her. Here's what we setup: In the studio she has two macs that she and her assistant do editing on. Both machines have a large raid array attached... I forget how much space it was, but it's like 12 drives. Both machines are set to mount both raid arrays (one locally, one across the network). When she imports images into LR it automatically makes a second copy to the other machine's raid array. They burn a DVD (or 2) with the day's images nightly, those discs are stored offsite (in her house I think.) The flash cards don't get erased until the DVDs are off site. When they finish post processing the images the results are uploaded to the internet as well as burned to a cd. I think they're using backblaze now... originally it was to another large raid array at a local isp; that got too expensive. They delete content from the local raid array like 2 weeks after prints are delivered to the client, and from the online back up at a year or so.
My own schema: (drawn using Gliffy)
This mostly comes out of the fact that I have a server running Linux at home, enabling me to use rdiff-backup -- a backup tool that keeps changeset information and is therefore able to restore old data in case I accidentally delete it.
What I like about this scheme is that I can back up everything with a simple command after downloading images from the camera, so by the time I'm deleting files from the card they are already backed up on the server.
After copying my photos from my memory card, I make a 2nd copy to an external hard drive (to protect against accidental deletion or hardware failure).
To protect against fire, theft, etc. I also use Backblaze for online backup. It's $5 per month for unlimited space, I have about a terabyte of images on there at the moment (and I've heard other folks having 3 or 4 terabytes), so they really do mean unlimited space. The first full backup took a while to complete (a few weeks) - but once that was done, keeping up with new photos as I add them is pretty quick (it's an app that runs in the background, watching for changes to backup). I've needed to restore stuff a few times and never had any problems with it.
Mozy have the same kind of service, which some people I know use - and they're happy with that as well.
In the past few years I've had a couple of hardware failures, and one "human error" but so far I've never lost any images thanks to my backup strategy. So I'm pretty happy with it at the moment.
My primary backup is an external hard disk. Secondary is an offsite backup using Jungledisk. Third, I also synchronize files between my two computers. Three backups in different places.
Also, I never format my camera memory card until I am satisfied with the resulting photos, and those files have been backed up.
I do an approach that is probably similar to Cabbey's except that mine does not involve quite as many computers. My only photo editing computer is my laptop so I do not have to transfer and sync to a desktop. However I also travel a bit for work so much of my process is aimed toward the issues and risks of traveling. My backup does not let me get 100% but it lets me save the important stuff.
From a blog post I wrote a while ago, here is my basic workflow:
Through this new process I have accomplished the following relatively easily:
The decision I made was that Amazon's S3 has a very (okay amazingly high) data durability rate so my confidence in them keeping my data accessible is much higher than anything I could come up with. I just decided for fiscal reasons that I would place some in SmugMug with unlimited JPG storage, but use JungleDisk for other formats rather than SmugVault. However the JungleDisk solution and SmugMug overlap to me, the only difference was the price per GB.
The key is to know and understand what the difference is between backing up and archiving to make sure as you are pricing services you are getting the results you want. A friend of mine was using a service for backup and thought they could delete things without risk; just recall from the backup as it worked during testing. The problem moment came on day 31 after the deleting of the original file, the service purges after 30 days. So please make sure you are using and understanding the terms carefully.
My longer format thoughts on the subject are at http://bradfordbenn.com/2010/05/data-backup-and-access/
Hope that helps.
I use crashplan to backup my files online. You can backup online and they have unlimited storage plans for the price of two coffees per month.
The only thing is that the first time it takes ages till everything is backed up. Afterwards it's a real pleasure as it does everything automatically.

News Release (Back to Menu)
Super Storm Sandy Means Rutgers Law Students Take Exams Around the World
With final exams at Rutgers School of Law–Newark pushed back by Super Storm Sandy all the way to Christmas Eve, students who had made their travel plans for the holidays well in advance were suddenly faced with extraordinary costs for non-refundable bookings on flights, hotels, and other travel expenses. After so many lost so much to the storm, Rutgers Law School administrators decided that the students would not add this cost to their burdens, and promised that somehow no prepaid expense would be lost because of the rescheduling of exams.
The solution? Remote exams.
Using the security features of the law school's exam-taking software, dozens of students received exams off campus at the same time as their classmates and were able to transmit them back to the school when the exams ended here. In all, finals were administered on five continents and two were given at sea (the student took the exams while on a cruise). Two students sat for their exams in Pakistan, where, in addition to taking finals, they were married this week, and a third took one exam there also, so that she could attend the wedding. Other exams were taken in Tanzania, China, India, England, Costa Rica, Spain and Peru, as well as all across the United States and Canada.
Associate Dean Rothman, who administered the remote exams with Justine Dilworth and Mildred Perez, commented: "It has been a logistical challenge, but it has worked, and the students really appreciate it. We were very glad to be able to remove worries about rescheduling travel plans from our students' end-of-the-semester concerns."

Class of 2012 Urged to Engage in Public Service
At Graduation 2012, a distinguished and diverse group of Columbia Law School students processed through the south lawn of Columbia's Morningside Heights campus to the cheers of family, friends, and well-wishers. The J.D. and LL.M. degree candidates represented a wide range of professional backgrounds—including the military, engineering, journalism, and academia.
U.S. Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli, Jr. '83, who previously served as deputy counsel to President Barack Obama and as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice, delivered the keynote address. He spoke to the Class of 2012 about the merits of public service.
"There is no better time to serve than during a time of great challenges," Verrilli said. "That time is now. And there is no better person than you."
David M. Schizer, Dean and the Lucy G. Moses Professor of Law; Harvey R. Miller Professor of Law and Economics, introduced Verrilli. During Dean Schizer's address to students, he asked the Class of 2012 to take aim at the world's most daunting challenges.
"Lawyers who are true to their beliefs and committed to making the world a better place will always be busy and challenged," Dean Schizer said. "The world desperately needs your talents."
Earlier in the ceremony, Professor Robert J. Jackson Jr., the 2012 recipient of the Willis L.M. Reese Prize for Excellence in Teaching, drew from many of his own experiences when speaking to the graduates.
"Rather than thinking about today as the end of your legal education, I'd encourage you to think of it as the beginning," Jackson said. "Indeed, that is what is so special, and valuable, about studying the law. The degree you're about to receive says much more about your capacity to learn than it does about what you already know."

If I want to use abbreviations for second, third and so on in my LaTeX documents, I am currently doing this:
2$^{nd}$ which seems unsatisfactory. Is there a macro I'm missing? I'm sure I could define one myself, and it would be fairly easy. But this looks like something that should already have been covered...
If I want to use abbreviations for second, third and so on in my LaTeX documents, I am currently doing this:
You should not use math, when it is normal text. Use
Then you could use
I guess the quickest and easiest solution is to simply write "2nd", "3rd", etc.
Superscripts aren't really necessary.
An alternative to
In this case the command is
But there are some advantages over
A third package,
On the other hand, for enumerated lists you can use the
Addendum: Ordinals in Spanish.
Although often not used, according to the RAE there must be a dot before the superscript, as in any abbreviation ended with a superscript as explained here. Then, the correct ordinal is "3.o" (tercero) or "3.er" (tercer) but not "3º".
In most cases one can just typing
If you are using ConTeXt MkIV, you can even imitate the automatic conversion of MS Word:
\usemodule[translate] \translateinput[2nd][2\high{nd}] \enableinputtranslation \starttext On the 2nd of November \unknown \stoptext
This will translate all
If you're after speed when writing, this solution seems to be the quickest to type
Although this question is quite old and has very good answers, I think that maybe there are other people as type-lazy as me, who might appreciate my approach.
Edit: In response to egreg's comments, I wanted to adapt my answer - but the proposed changes would mean that the answer coincides with Nathanael Farley's answer, except for the fact that I redefined
In the interest of completeness, here's my original answer, which distinguished between math mode and text:
This variant will always print upright letters in math mode, instead of adapting to the ambient text style. For a variant that adapts to the ambient style (e.g. italics in theorem environments, use
I can imagine that someone might consider an exponent hidden in a macro bad form, but then, cases like
As a side note, I first tried to build an automatic
You could also simply write out the word. 1st = first, 2nd = second, and so on. Probably better in a formal setting anyway. If this is in a figure or table then any of the above answers sound great, but in a paragraph setting there's no need to get too cute.

U.K. Charges News Corp. Journalist in Bribery Probe
LONDON—British prosecutors said they are charging a former police officer and a journalist from News Corp.'s Sun tabloid as part of a bribery probe focusing on the media's alleged attempts to pay public officials for information.
The Sun's alleged payments carried on for two months after London's Metropolitan Police opened its investigation into bribery of public officials in July 2011, prosecutors said.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it is charging Paul Flattley, a former officer with the Metropolitan Police, and Virginia Wheeler, a journalist at the Sun, Britain's best-selling newspaper, with "conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office."
Prosecutors alleged that between May 2008 and September 2011, the Sun paid Mr. Flattley at least £6,450 ($10,210) in exchange for information about the death of a 15-year-old-girl and about suspects and victims of accidents and crimes, including "high-profile individuals" and their associates, prosecutors said. Police opened their bribery probe, called Operation Elveden, in July 2011, as a scandal erupted in the U.K. over illegal reporting tactics.
A spokeswoman for News Corp.'s U.K. newspaper unit said Ms. Wheeler is the Sun's defense editor. Ms. Wheeler didn't respond to a request for comment, and the News Corp. spokeswoman declined to comment on her behalf.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said it didn't have any comment on Mr. Flattley, who couldn't be reached. Prosecutors said Mr. Flattley received the money by check and cash.
Ms. Wheeler is the latest News Corp. employee to be charged in the bribery probe. In November prosecutors charged Rebekah Brooks, a former editor of the Sun who later rose to lead News Corp.'s U.K. newspaper unit, with conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office from 2004 to 2012, in relation to £100,000 in bribes allegedly paid by the Sun to a Defense Ministry official for information. The Defense Ministry official and the chief reporter at the Sun from 1990 to 2011 were charged with the same crime.
At the same time, Andy Coulson, who was editor of News Corp.'s News of the World tabloid from 2003 to 2007, was charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office in relation to alleged payments to public officials in exchange for information, including a private phone directory that included contact details for the royal family, prosecutors said. After leaving News Corp., Mr. Coulson served as U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron's top communications adviser until resigning in 2011.
Former News of the World royal correspondent Clive Goodman was charged with two counts of the same crime in relation to the same payments, prosecutors said. At the time of those charges, only Mr. Coulson commented publicly, saying: "I deny the allegations made against me and will fight the charges in court." News Corp. owns The Wall Street Journal.
Aside from bribery, police also are investigating journalists' alleged attempts to illegally intercept email and voice-mail messages in pursuit of information. Widespread allegations of voice-mail interception at News of the World caused News Corp. to close the tabloid in July 2011.
As of late last year, police and prosecutors had arrested 52 people and charged six with crimes in the bribery probe. Authorities had arrested 25 people and charged eight former News of the World journalists with crimes in the phone-hacking probe, and had arrested 17 people in a probe of alleged email and other hacking. In addition, authorities has arrested eight people and charged seven in a related obstruction of justice investigation.
During testimony to a judge-led inquiry into media practices last year, a top police official, Sue Akers, said the Sun had a "culture…of illegal payments" by journalists to public officials.

An impeccable picture of Asami wearing a adorable cupless bra and a red bow around her thigh. She is just dying for someone to come and lick her smooth shaven pussy as it flows with juices. "now get kissing." she says, sitting there with her legs wide open while gesturing with a cute little piece of mistletoe above her slit for a lucky someone to kiss her cute perky clit.
I found this picture a little late for Christmas but it is an amazing piece none the less don't you think?

This dish turned out great! The sauce was VERY thick and gravy-like. No one would
ever guess that this is low-fat. Re-heated the leftovers the next day and they were
just as good if not better. Tastes like something from a 4 star restaurant!
Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce
From EatingWell: December 2005/January 2006, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)
Here's a sauce so delicious, it's missing only one thing: a little crunchy bread to dip in it. Make It a Meal: Serve with steamed asparagus or cauliflower, mashed potatoes or orzo pasta, and a glass of Vinho Verde.
111 Reviews for Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce
This dish turned out great! The sauce was VERY thick and gravy-like. No one would
I was looking for something different for chicken, but that was healthy for 2 guys with heart healthy diets and came across this one. I read almost all the reviews and decided to try it. We all LOVED it and it was easy! I made cutlets and pounded them; substituted broth for the wine; substituted 4 Tbl chopped red onion and 1 minced clove of garlic for the shallots and chives. We love the onion and garlic flavor. I found the sauce to be perfect on the chicken and the mashed potatoes-plenty left, too. Not sure what a few reviewers meant by the sauce being too thin, it wasn't a thick gravy, but it was great. Maybe they didn't keep stirring or simmering long enough. I will definitely do this again, and again! We had it with garlic mashed potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce. Had wheat rolls that were great to sop up the remaining sauce on our plates. Guests wanted the recipe, too, and continuously raved about the dinner!
This recipe was GREAT. We didn't have chives and we added artichoke hearts to the recipe. It gave the sauce great flavor. Very easy. Will definately make it again!!
I made this chicken on Sunday for a family dinner! EVERYONE loved it! I served it with mashed potatoes and sweet peas, really complimented the chicken. I took the advice of several other reviewers and went easy on the chives and didn't use quite so much chicken broth as I wanted the sauce to have the consistency of a gravy. The chicken was wonderfully tender and exceptionally tasty. I arranged it on a serving platter, and put the remaining sauce in a gravy boat so my guests could put it on top of their mashed potatoes.
Will definitely make again! You need to give this recipe a try!
I love this recipe and I have made four or five times. It's my go-to when I have guests over for dinner during a busy week night.

I made a curry last night for this evenings meal.
The main components of it are aubergines, yoghurt, ginger, tumeric, cumin and chilli.
After cooking it I tasted it and it is sadly quite tasteless. I think the mistake I made is having too much aubergine for the quantity of spices I put with it.
I won't have much time from when I get home tonight to fix the curry before we eat it.
What's the best thing to do?
Is it safe to just dump a load of raw gingerand spices in or is there a better way?
It is (supposed to be) an indian curry. It is based on a recipe for a lamb curry. I replaced the lamb with aubergines (without paying too much attention to quantities...)

Aggregated grid columns
I have a grid with several columns that I want to aggregate data from. Let's say that the grid contains columns filled with numbers. The rightmost column should view the sum of all the numbers on the left. What I did was to implement a custom ValueProvider for this column. In the getValue method I add all the numbers of the proxy and return the result.
The problem with this approach is that the grid is only updated live if I set the store in autocommit mode. The ValueProvider always works with the backend model, not the internal records of the grid. Because of this, the original value will be given to the ValueProvider when it should update the grid data. The modified value remains in the grid store only. Because I am in autocommit mode, I will never see the red corner mark on the modified cells. If I disable autocommit the values will of course be updated when I prepare the backend model for persisting it.
Is there a better way to solve this problem, or does this need changes to the library?
30 Jan 2013 9:41 AM #2
The issue is that before values are committed, they are stored in a Store.Record instance, mapped to the property they will be setting. Your valueprovider is only reading the actual values in the model, and cannot see the Record to ask it questions.
One thought: listen to StoreRecordChangeEvents, and if the event happens to the first or second column, get the same record for the third column and modify it. This way when the Grid tries to read out values from the store, it will see that modified value instead of the original ValueProvide-created value. This will also draw a red marker in this column, which may make sense, given that this value has also changed. If you try to add a change to that record that would revert it back to the original value, it should mark that record as not dirty, and should then remove that red marker (i.e. A and B have initial values of 2 and 3, so C has 5. Change A to have 3 so C is red and 6, then change B to 2 so C is not red and 5 again. A and B then are red, but C is not).
Another thought: Use a custom cell in the third column, and have it act on the entire model (i.e. with an IdentityValueProvider), and put any logic needed in there. Have it hold a reference to the store, ask if the current object has a Record, and if so read values from there, otherwise create the value from the original getters.

A neckless, tights-wearing kinda-guy with few words at his disposal. Strong Mad talks in yells that are sometimes incoherent. Is not very bright at all. As his name suggests, he is very strong and constantly mad, except when accompanied by his best friend, The Cheat. His brother Strong Bad seems to have some sort of control over him, but that sometimes does not last. Earlier footage shows that he did once have a bump-like head, which probably became flat due to lack of use. Not much more is known about Strong Mad, except that he mostly stays at home, possibly pummeling other brother Strong Sad, does not enjoy being filmed, and enjoys breaking stuff.

Some of you may have noticed the new guild feature over the past few days. At the moment this is just a collection of people who can have a private chat together within their group and win weekly prizes for being in that weeks strongest guild.
Once this is all working correctly, I want to add "Guild Wars"
Guild A will challenge Guild B to a "War". When challenged, Guild B will accept or reject the war and then the guilds will have 24 hours to fight it out to win the most PvP battles vs each other.
On top of this, there will be a "territorial dominance" feature, where for every hour a guild member is in the game (active + not in their ranch) they'll get +1 point for them in the war.
Each member of the winning team of the guild will be able to select an item from the "mystery" box.
What do people think about this? Any ways we should improve it?

Do you fish?
No, I did NOT mean phish. ;-) I mean the hook, line & sinker fishing. LOVE to go fishin'. Years ago, there was a TV show about fishing. The theme song, "Gone Fishin', Instead of Just a Wishin", really was directed to me.
Love all types: Lake (Wall-eye, catfish), creek (crappie), stream (trout), ocean (flounder). On shore, from a boat. Live bait; lures. To me, it's relaxing. Ocean fishing, either from the shore or in a boat, is always a pot luck treat. You never know what you might hook.
Not that I like baiting the hook. Uggghhh! Worms squish; you must keep your mouth shut. ...And watch your eyes. Minnows? Ah!! They're cute. :-/ Hard to eat calamari because it's 'bait.' Awful to put on the hook. Esp. the head.
Absolutely nothing like catching a fish, cleaning it (another ugh!) and frying it w/i an hour or 2. Heavenly!
Do you fish? What's your favorite type of fishing?
15 Answers answer
This is how we fish here.
That's me in the black cap.
@jsimsace: Oh, WOW! That's amazing! Have only fished for catfish in the Lake of the Ozarks (& Lake Ouchita). Ocean catfish, yes? NOT the same. Have never seen 'that' kind of fresh water fishing. Did you smoke those beauties? Yummmm....smoked catfish. ;-)
Trotlines in the Lake of the Ozarks never, ever hooked anything THAT big. I am amazed.
@gmwhit: What? What did I just read? You EAT Flounder? How could you?
Poor old Flounder.
I live where I do because I love a relaxing couple hours fishing on the lake. I have it rough...50 Yard walk from my back door to the boat. I put a 10+ lb Largemouth in the boat this year..my 1st "Lunker"! The Crappie in my lake are big enough that I catch them on bass lures accidentally.
I guess that is a yes.
@theflounder: Eeeeppp! Sorry. But, must admit that...whispering...flounder is a very tasty fish. Mild. Hard to catch, though. Haven't had a lot of success.
@morriea: Envy. ;-\
Fished when i was a kid. Then went 30 years without fishing and didn't realize I missed it. Had no poles or tackle. A friend talked me into going with him once about three years ago, so I bought a $20 pole/reel combo and ten bucks worth of tackle thinking that for thirty bucks I'd be taking part in a cheap sport.
I was instantly addicted. Now I've got an ocean pole, a fly rod, and three nice lake/stream poles, about a thousand bucks worth of equipment and tackle, and recently bought a boat.
Fishing is a black hole for money.
But yeah, I fish.
@theflounder: I think someone needs a thw...
With the weather finally cooling down here, seem time is mighty right to get out and grab some fish. Thing is, it will the lure grabbing them, not me. Damn boys that is some seriously crazy "fishing" grabbing those fish.
All summer and most of the fall weekends you can find us out on my dad's boat. We fish in the bay and ocean. My dream is to one day catch a marlin, but we aren't fishing for them yet. My current realistic dream is to catch some tuna (yummy!). Most of the time we catch fluke, sea bass, bluefish, and a variety of other stuff that are fun to catch but not so much to eat. I love being out on the water more than anything, sometimes I could care less if we actually catch anything.
Side note - this also feeds my shirt woot addiction. I don't wear tshirts a lot in general, but on the boat I do. So I jump at the chance for pirate or shark themed shirts. I'm going to have to start branching out for the rest of the family :)
@jsimsace, @gmwhit , Fishin' in Oklahoma?? Nah... we'd never do that... LOL Have you heard of Tommy Watts? He is one of my Hubby's bosses.
This is one of my Grand-Daughters from a few years ago, her Daddy caught these beauties at Waurika Lake. (not Noodling, he was using a rod and braided line.)
High country! Always chasing those golden trout. We do lots of backpacking trips in the high sierra and catch rainbows and brook trout all day long. Lots of those lakes are stocked annually/biannually so the fishing is always excellent. Usually catch and release, I have never really liked to eat fish unless starved out in the back country.
I don't always fish....but when I do, I catch big ass trout.
I like sitting out on the lake, enjoying nature and the sound of the water lapping against the dock. I liked the randomness and mystery of getting nibbles or catching a small fish and throwing it back. I don't like touching the fish or baiting the hook with live bait. I haven't been since I was a kid though. My fishing buddies (Grandpas) have passed on and haven't been fishing since then.
It is all about Deep Sea for me. Tuna, Mahi (Dorado), Sail Fish, Shark, I love Big game fish. Never got that Marlin and am interisted to go Sword fishing. But a day in the bay for Fluke, Stripers, Sea Bass, and Blue Fishis still great. My favorite fish to eat is Black Fish (Tautaug). I have doen fresh water once or twice and seen fly fishing but never really got interisted. An over night on the beach with some surf poles is a great way to end a day in th summer.

I'm planning to upgrade my computer's hard drive and I'm not using an imaging program because I'm clean installing - How can I move my Steam game files and game saves from the old harddrive to the new hard drive with Windows 7?
Steam game files and game saves are two different subjects.
You can copy the Steam folder altogether to the new HD and then do the following: - delete everything except SteamApps folder and Steam.exe - run Steam.exe. This will make it re-sync with the Steam Cloud and download everything again and recognize the "just" installed games.
Some games have their auto-install routines which will be triggered on the first run. This reveals itself as the steam installer service requesting authorization.
Save games are mostly under Users/, or the Steam folder itself. Make a backup of the entire users folder in any case you could need something later.
See this Steam How-To describing how you move your installation.
It depends.
Every game that you have on Steam has its own save strategies. They could store their savegames in
Steam Cloud
The only exception are the games that supports
If games support
Some games that support
Microsoft Games For Windows Live
Also some games that use Microsoft's Games For Windows Live service could store save games online. An example is
Just copy them over.
Install Steam onto the new computer so that the directory structure is all set up then copy the data files across.
(I don't have Steam installed on this computer (I'm at work!) so I can't verify which folders you need to copy).
There is a nice tool to backup and restore your savegames and settings for Steam and some other gaming related programs: SaveGameBackup.net
List of features (copied from http://savegamebackup.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=316)
It's very simple. I transfer between two PCs all the time.
Simply copy the save files you want over to the other computer in the same directory. I usually only take my

I've taken my car into Mexico multiple times from the United States, on a Tourist visa. Is it possible to take more than one car registered to me at the same time (obviously with a second driver)?
From the US Consulate:
So it sounds really like as long as you have the ownership papers and registration, it doesn't matter how many cars in your convoy :D
To add to Mark Mayo's Answer.
There is no limit on the number of cars. If you don't own the car you need a letter from who does. IE if the car is leased you need a letter from the leasing company; If the Bank still owns the car, you need a letter from the bank; etc. The letter needs to say you are authorized to take the vehicle into Mexico. Since you, (the owner), would be with them it should be easier, but you may still want to write the letter for them to keep in the car.
I would refer to Mark's quotation for requirements and add, If you don't have a tourist permit you can not pass checkpoints. The tourist permits can not be obtained at checkpoints. You also need to insure vehicles.
This information comes from Instant Mexico Auto Insurance, they insure vehicles for groups of people involved in international off road racing, and pit stop crews are often driving cars that all belong to the Motor-sporting company.

Simple Desk for Student: Recommendations?
I am in the market for a simple desk for studying mostly. I don't need any fancy drawers, hutches or organizers. Just a simple desk with enough room for a laptop and some books.
I would like one that is sturdier than the particle board cheepo stuff at WalleWorld but still on the cheeper end of things. Lets say a 50-125 price range.
I will also be moving quite a bit so a desk that can be moved easily without too much damage would be nice. Again particle board does not lend itself to this kind of use. Ideally something you can take the legs off of would be great.
Does anyone have something like this that they are really happy with?
Are there any brands that are better than others?
Anyone see any recent deals that would work?
Thanks for your help again community!

I would check here: http://www.csnstores.com/Computer-Desks-C332657.html
Have you considered getting an inexpensive drafting table? I lot of my friends used them as desks in college.
I found one that is designed to fold up, which should make moving a breeze:
It's $109, which is within the price specs, though shipping will be a bear. You might want to do pickup: Blick has stores in 16 states, and there are plenty of other companies that carry this product. Blick just happens to be a company I've ordered from in the past (with quite satisfactory results).
Try Ikea - they have a number of simple desks. Some are particle board, yeah - they also have "systems" where you can mix and match legs to tops to get what you're looking for. Not all of the tops are particle board.
I poked around for a couple and it seems like you could do what you're looking for in your price range. It would depend on your aesthetic desires.
I got this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39837348
Out of your price range but we have 2 people using it (essentially 2 work stations) and it is big enough and sturdy enough to accommodate a wide range of use. Very easy to customize (we just crammed a lot of those plastic bins and tiny shelves beneath it).
For what it's worth, it's been transported across the country and moved around to a couple places and still works well.
When I was in college, I bought a 6' piece of Formica counter top from Lowes and put it on top of 2 cheap filing cabinets. It ended up a little low to the ground, so I stuck a couple cinder blocks under each filing cabinet to lift it up. It wasn't pretty, but it was a huge workspace with a ton of storage and it was CHEAP.
Thanks everyone.
I went with the ultimate deal... a desk from salvation army.
Found a good looking large no frills desk (no hutch) make of SOLID wood for $75. When I got up there to pay for it it was 1/2 off green tags day... it had a green tag. Now that is a deal.

time-tested skills and practical approaches are a credible, invaluable resource
that will help make your outdoor adventures fun, safe, and memorable in America's
great outdoors."
