In this podcast I'll be exploring Love and your Life's Legacy:
- I'll explain how your legacy is a gift to the world that just keeps on giving
- I'll talk about how what you value and what you love determines the legacy you will leave behind
- Finally, I'll share a simple exercise that will help you create a life worth loving and a legacy worth leaving
A legacy is something that is given from the past and received in the present and that will most definitely change the future.
There are many different types of legacies that you can leave behind after your passing. They may include tangible material things like a car, a house, money, a business, a cure, or even a child. Your legacy could also be abstract experiential things like an idea, a philosophy, a religion, a physical training program, or a procedure for dealing with grief.
Now your legacy, whether it is a person, a place, or a thing, whatever it is, it will always leave an impact in the world of the living for many years, long after you've moved on and it will change the world. The change may be small or large, but there's still an impact. Even the smallest of events can lead to massive change, like a butterfly flapping its wing can contribute to the eventual formation of a hurricane, your legacy will have ripple effects on the world stage.
For instance, you and I are products of a lasting loving legacy known as humanity. Each generation of life is a legacy by default. Just by being born you have already impacted your parents, your caregivers, everyone who you've come into contact with throughout your lifetime, you have changed. So no matter how short or long your life or how small or big of an impact you have:
"You are legacy in full expression"
And you are leaving a legacy that will change the world, whether you're fully aware of what that change is or not.
Now the type of legacy you leave behind will be determined by what you love and what you love about life comes from your personal core values.
Your personal core values are the needs you have when it comes to living an awesome life. They define how you want to live. They guide your choices and they determine the type of person you want to be. Core values also influence the types of personal relationships you want to be in and also what communities and organisations you wish to join.
If you value fast cars, big mansions, and money than those material objects will be what you want in your life and these are what you will leave as your legacy. If you value family, friendship, connection with others, than personal relationships and their affect on the people in your life will be the legacy that you will leave behind. If you value food, music, and wine a restaurant may be your legacy. A piece of music could be your legacy, or maybe a food, music, and wine festival, that could be your legacy.
Whatever you love you will pursue based on your values and after the game of life is over for you, those people, places, and things that you valued and have nothing but love for, will become your legacy.
There is one exercise I'd like to share that will help you determine your values, what you love about life, and ultimately your legacy. That exercise is writing your own obituary. Yes it may sound a bit of a morbid thing to do, but once you get into and finish your obituary you'll be left with a sense of fulfilment and will find yourself really passionate about getting after life.
Really take the time, which could be hours, days, or weeks, to write your obituary and keep in mind these two things:
- How you would like to be remembered as a person? and
- What would you like to leave behind as a lasting loving legacy?
After the exercise look at what you've written down and you will figure out what your personal core values are. If you wrote down he was a rich man who supported a lot of charities, then you know you value money and also generosity and that you love to give, and your legacy will be the many charities that you've helped. If you wrote down she was a nurturing mother who adopted and raised many abandoned and orphaned children, then you know you value family and giving children a second chance of having a loving family and home, and your legacy will be the next generation of adults who once felt alone, but now feel nothing but love.
Whatever you wrote down use it as a stepping stone to align the life you live with what you want your legacy to be.
There's no right or wrong legacy. No matter what you value you will leave behind a legacy. The point I'm making here is that you'll either be consciously aware of that legacy or completely ignorant to it.
I'll leave you with you this thought.
Feeling loved or being loving isn't really about sharing material things.
"Love is about sharing experiences with others."
I am grateful for the lasting loving legacy my ancestors have given me and I will do my best to live a life full of unconditional love so that I leave a lasting loving legacy for those who one day I shall leave behind.

"Having known you all your life, I have many memories. One of my fondest is when we were all in Canada. All of the kids were out playing and the adults were talking. All of you came back in different states of disarray with tomatoes on you. As you were the oldest, you tried to offer up an explanation. I remember this little blond, curly haired boy with a sweet but mischievous smile and tomatoes dripping down his face, trying ever so hard to keep all of you from getting into trouble. This memory always brings a smile to my face and always will ! You may be gone from this earth, but you will never be forgotten.
"First Mike then Chad ! They are together now! Chad rest in peace brother! It was great connecting again with you last year!"
"You will always be in my heart as well as our memories. You had a heart of gold and I know you are at peace now. You will be my angel and I will keep your warmth towards others within myself and bestow it unto others as you did towards me. I love you always and forever my dearest friend until we meet again. xoxo"
"For all the flowers you have sent me I give one back. One that will never die, like your memory. You may be gone but never forgotten. You will always be in our hearts. Loved and missed I hope you finally rest in peace"
"My beautiful son, my life will never be the same without you. I hope you are finally at peace and with God. I will think of you daily now your struggles are finally gone. Rest in peace until the day we meet each other again. I will always love you.

Nice trail for the beginner.

The trail has a nice "easy access" parking lot. It is well maintained and suitable for road bikes and trailers. There was a job-johnnie 4 miles out. The groomed trail stops at an intersection 4 miles out, for a new branch under construction which ends abruptly at an unfinished bridge over a gorge and rail line. There are some park benches, picnic tables and children's playground equipment near the beginning. NICE TRAIL !

Just curious, what and if you've ever found a bug(s) in store or market bought vegetables or other items?
A couple of weeks ago I found a ladybug in some parsley I had purchased from a Fairway grocery store. It was already dead, but as I was pulling more of the parsley apart, a small healthy looking caterpillar dropped out. It was the exact same light green color as the stems and the idea that I could have chopped it up and eaten it haunts me.
And last summer I bought corn from a farmer's market, when I got home and started to pull the husks off, I found a dark brown worm trapped in the silk in one of them. Thinking I could have squished it in my hand still haunts me also, lol.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentration of platelets which circulate through the blood. Produced from an individual's own blood, these concentration of cells are critical for blood clotting. The liquid plasma and platelets of the blood are required for cell recruitment and essential for cell multiplication and cell specialization that is required for healing. After a blood sample is obtained from a patient, the blood is put into a centrifuge, which is a tool that separates the blood into its many components. Platelet rich plasma can then be collected and treated before it is delivered to an injured area of bone or soft tissue, such as a tendon or ligament. PRP recently obtained FDA Approval for use in joints to accelerate healing with orthopedic surgery but is increasingly being used "off-label" for other applications such as aesthetic medicine, though specific FDA indication and applicable research are still pending.
Why Get PRP Here?
Garry R. Lee, MD, is an Allergan (Botox & Juvederm), Galderma (Medicis Dysport & Restylane), Air-Tite (MicroCannula), and Eclipse Aesthetics MicroPen, PRP, and Skinfinity RF Physician & Nurse Instructor. In the most prestigious national competition for clinical excellence in cosmetic medicine amongst the top plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and aesthetic physicians in the country, Dr. Lee was presented with The Aesthetic Award for Best Facial Injectable Enhancement Physician in the USA in 2015.
In October 2015, he led the USA to take Second Place in the WORLD Competition for Best Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation at the Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine European Congress (AMEC) in Paris, France, among 31 of the Top Physicians from 5 Continents. He is also an Internationally Published Aesthetic Author & Speaker Specializing in Advanced Anti-Bruising and Anti-Swelling Cosmetic Injection Techniques and the Latest Non-Surgical Cosmetic Technology. He is also an Internationally Published Aesthetic Author & Speaker Specializing in Advanced Anti-Bruising and Anti-Swelling Cosmetic Injection Techniques and the Latest Non-Surgical Cosmetic Technology.
PRP provides patients with enriched plasma, including platelet count and growth factor analytics, including supra-physiologic concentrations of platelet counts and up to 8 biologically active growth factors, such as: PDGF, TGF, EGF, CSF, KGF & VEGF.
Features & Benefits
- Convenient procedure – takes less than 30 minutes
- Reproducible system – easily fits into practice
- Small volume of blood needed – better for patients
- Best Value – high volume PRP Yield: ~6 mL's of PRP per 10 mL tube
- Consistent platelet concentration – allowing for predictable performance
- Pure PRP – High-tech gel removes the most contaminating red and white blood cells
- No foreign components – virtually eliminates the risk of adverse reactions
The Look Younger MD Process
During a short office visit a small amount of a patient's own blood is drawn into a 10 mL vacuum collection tube containing a proprietary separator gel. The tube is placed into a centrifuge and spun for 12 minutes to isolate the platelet- rich plasma. The contaminating red and white blood cells are located below the separator gel. The PRP is ready for use yielding ~6 mL's of injectable PRP. At Look Younger MD, we apply PRP immediately after MicroPen microneedling to the face and selected body treatment areas, to create a conduit for the entry of the PRP's growth factors–which stimulate the healing cascade and the promotion of collagen and elastin.

*Dating was that simple when we were younger! I wish someone would've taken preemptive measures and told me that it was much more difficult when you're older. What seemed an exact science as a 9-year-old fourth grader, is a foreign as astrophysics to a 31-year-old bachelor with a liking to liberal arts, it's just not that easy. Back then, all that mattered was if the girl was cute and she didn't stink; now I'm worried if her family has a history of mental illness, wondering if her credit score is B.C. and taking the blame for all the blame of previous cats (Musiq Soulchild was right on!).
I'm starting to wonder if mutual attraction even plays a part these days, it all seems like life-changing decisions are being made before we're introduced. She's too skinny, he's too short. She's too independent, he lives with his mama. She doesn't cook, he doesn't make enough money. She has a kid, he has too many kids. She's bitter and he doesn't want to be a playa no more. Damn, I just want to know your name, maybe follow you on Twitter and get to know you over drinks and popcorn shrimp if that's not too much to ask for?
But we're playing for keeps nowadays. It seems that a good man or a good woman that fits our criteria is far and few between, so you have to lock in at hello. Even first dates aren't the same anymore. Whatever happened to dinner and a movie or dinner and dancing? Women want to talk, yeah, women want to talk. How much talking can we do on the first date? I don't need to know your views on politicsabortionthedeathpenaltyreligionhealthcarereformimmigrationandMichaelJackson before they bring out the cheddar bay biscuits. That's politics, abortion, the death penalty, religion, health care reform, immigration and Michael Jackson. Yet, that's the pressure on the first date now, I have to choose our wedding song by the time we figure out who's paying the bill. But here I was thinking I was going to get to know you a taste, laugh a little and maybe get a kiss at the end of the night, not go on an interview.
Let me back up a bit, what exactly goes for a good first date these days? I asked that question on my survey last month and saw quite a few interesting responses. It really seems that women really want to talk and keep activity to a minimum. The most intriguing of the answers was the suggestion of breakfast or brunch. I actually dig that answer because meeting up at that time of day relieves a lot of the first date angst. You know, how do I look, I hope I don't say anything stupid, should I invite him back to my place, am I gonna get some? Plus, it leaves room enough in the day to see just how spontaneous the two of you can be if you hit it off and decide to spend some extra time together. Or, if you're just not the match you thought at that first meeting, plenty of time to break out and get on with the rest of your life.
Dating should be pressure-free, because the two of you should be comfortable around each other and not worrying about whether or not you're going to have to submit a DNA sample so your criminal record can be ran. The objective is to get to a relationship, which may happen after two or three dates or even six months, but the initial hurdles shouldn't be so high that you just say F it! With that said, I need a date to see my man Lenny Lak Saturday night…

Units of the Trusts trade on both the NYSE Arca and the TSX and are priced in U.S. dollars. They can be purchased like any regular equity through full service and discount brokers, including in the U.S. through Sprott Global Resource Investments at 800.477.7853, and in Canada through Sprott Private Wealth at 866.299.9906. Both firms are affiliates of the Trusts.

Effective October 5, 2017, unitholders of each of these trusts will be able to hold their units through the Direct Registration System (DRS) with the trusts' transfer agent. References to "trust" shall mean the Sprott Physical Gold Trust, the Sprott Physical Silver Trust or the Sprott Physical Platinum and Palladium Trust, as applicable, and references to "trusts" shall mean all three trusts collectively.
DRS is the electronic or book-entry form of security ownership offered by and only through transfer agents and allows a unitholder to hold trust units in that holder's name directly as opposed to electronic security ownership through a broker. If a holder holds units of a trust through DRS, that ownership is evidenced on the books and records of the trust directly, as opposed to holding units of a trust through a broker, who in turn is registered on the books of the trust.
DRS holders will not receive an actual certificate but will instead receive an annual DRS statement directly from the transfer agent. Before a unitholder holding units through DRS can trade the units on NYSE Arca or TSX, the holder will first have to instruct the transfer agent to move the units from DRS to the holder's brokerage account.
If a unitholder desires to redeem units for bullion, and such unitholder holds his, her or its units through DRS, the holder first has to request and then receive a unit certificate before engaging in the redemption process. This process is identical to the process described in the current prospectus and annual information form of each of the trusts, which are available at www.sprottphysicalbullion.com.
The option to hold units through DRS will not be available for investors purchasing units in an offering conducted by one of the trusts, but will be available to such investors after the offering is concluded.
Unitholders interested in holding their units through DRS should contact the trusts' transfer agents as follows:

Supply Chain Management Challenges in Canada: Focus on Key Interpersonal Skills
2016 13 Nov

Although no modern rendering could ever take the place of the original "Cherry" 12's, this upcoming Gym Red/White pair does a great job standing on its own in undeniable newness, while offering faint memories of Air Jordan 12 past.
Executed in premium red leather across the upper while pebbled leather in white adds a proper block of color at the mudguard, this alternative to the "Cherry's" then moves to black insoles and pull tags at the heel.

Being 33 in a courtroom full of strangers trying to justify why I get to choose by whom, how, and when I am touched and my right to fight to the death to keep me safe just gutted me.
Today was 1993 all over again being fourteen in a cold room full of nurses, doctors and extras trying to justify why I didn't fight "hard enough", tell sooner, grab something as a weapon. When I was 14 violated and pregnant by a rapist I had to defend why I didnt fight hard enough. At 33 I protect myself, Icey and China.We walk away unharmed and my attacker gets carried away in an ambulance. Now our broken court system wants to say I fought "too hard."
Our schizophrenic court system needs a serious overhaul. Thank you to everyone who has stood with the children and I through this ordeal. I have a lot of work to get done so I cant really stop to process all that has happened yet. I just ask that you continue to stand with us, send love, light, and if you are able to help tear down the mountain of legal expenses you can still contribute to paypal firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Moving Mountains
July 30, 2011. What happens at Warped stays at Warped with the exception of OFC insider band interviews and ambient rock band Moving Mountains. Moving Mountains defied all odds debuting in 2005 and just this year signed with Triple Crown Records label and on the Vans Warped Tour. Their new album WAVES is garnering critical raves on the alternative rock review scene.
When asked about the band's genre ambient rock and what sets Moving Mountains apart from other bands, the band responds "It's rock really. It's a little something different. There's other elements we do that we think other bands don't try to accomplish. We put a little more ambience, sweat, blood and tears into it."
Check out the interview that took place at Vans Warped Tour in West Palm Beach and view the video with audio and photo montage of Moving Mountains. The opening sequence of the video features "The Cascade" from the album WAVES and affirms the band's unique and powerful flow of guitar riffs and currents. Moving Mountains is on the move in the alternative rock world! Look out for Moving Mountains support tour with Thrice this fall!

About Moving Mountains
There are moments when the members of Westchester, New York's Moving Mountains wonder if they should have been born a decade earlier. Their Triple Crown Records debut, Waves, harkens back to the early 2000s and finds inspiration from bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Engine Down, Cave In, and Further Seems Forever.
"A part of us wishes we were a band that were emerging in 2001...but in a weird way, it motivates us to pick up where some of those bands left off," says frontman Gregory Dunn.
Moving Mountains have sought to create something special, and Waves does an incredible job of proving that. The songs are teeming with resplendent, ethereal, guitar-driven atmospherics that slowly fade into your consciousness.
Gregory Dunn co-founded the band as a studio project in 2005 with drummer Nick Pizzolato. Dunn and Pizzolato wrote and recorded a self-titled demo EP that was leaked to the public in early 2006 and was followed by 2007's Pneuma, which Deep Elm Records re-issued the following year.
"After we put out Pneuma, we formed a band to perform those songs live, and that's when we got guitarist Frank Graniero and bassist Mitchell Lee," explains Dunn.
That newly formed band's first collective effort would be Foreword, a dense, 36-minute four-song EP that they released in late 2008 on their own label, Caetera Recordings. By this time, bands like Thursday, Say Anything, The Dear Hunter and Polar Bear Club had begun championing the band and inviting them on the road.
"The Say Anything tour was our first big, full U.S. tour, where we were playing in front of 1,000 people a day. We built up a ton of momentum and it just worked out. We've been so fortunate because it hasn't been about trying to sell our band on people -- it's been about trying to get in contact with them directly and then just crossing our fingers," Dunn says.
The experience of watching crowds react to their basement creations heavily inspired them when they set out to begin work on Waves in late 2009.
"Our goal with Waves was to have someone be engaged from the start to the end," declares Gregory Dunn.
Engaged they will be. With Waves, Moving Mountains has produced a powerful collection of majestic, post-hardcore songs that contain a textured urgency that reaches farther and harder than any of their previous work. Lyrically, the album speaks of loss and faith, intertwining topics that Dunn has long dealt with.
"When the band first started, a very close friend of mine passed away. That was one of the big motivations for all the lyrics on Pneuma. They're very figurative and overly metaphorical, because I was embarrassed to talk about it at that time. With Waves, I said to myself that it's the last time that I'm going to write about it, so I'm going to be really blunt, honest and straightforward about the subject. Pneuma, Foreword and nowWaves have all been about that... a lot of it is also my struggle with understanding faith and existence... and just about questioning those ideas--and most importantly--how to overcome that to appreciate what you have."

You are here
A very International Festival Halloween
Halloween costumes can be a real bore. Witches, demons, sexy ghosts - they've all been done to...well...death.
Luckily, our team has had a brainstorm and we've put together a list of highly original, International Festival inspired costumes!
Freak out your friends and terrify your enemies as:
An unsettled photographer
Simon McBurney in The Encounter, 2015
The Encounter tells the story of intrepid photographer, Loren McIntyre, journeying deep into the Amazon rainforest and coming face to face with the slippery nature of consciousness. We honestly can't think of anything more frightening.
Many legged vengeance
Komische Oper Berlin's The Magic Flute, 2015
"Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" – "Hell's vengeance boils in my heart!" cries the Queen of the Night, waggling her many legs and glaring menacingly at poor old Pamina. This one's sure to be a hit with the kids.
A gloomy Scottish King
James McArdle as James I in James I: The Key Shall Keep The Lock, 2014
James I had a rough trot. Childhood captive to Henry IV and Henry V. Super unpopular as King of Scotland. Eventually murdered in Perth. Ugh. Deliciously grizzly Halloween fodder though!
The ultimate gloomy Scottish King
TR Warszawa's 2008: Macbeth, 2012
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes! Dress up as Macbeth and you pretty much win at Halloween. Witches, bloody murder and a walking forest – jackpot!
An existential crisis
Scott Shepherd as Hamlet in The Wooster Group's Hamlet, 2013
The Prince of Denmark, with his ghostly da, his obsession with death and his neat, wee codpiece is a hot bet for Halloween.
An emergent structure (you'll need a few friends)
Crystal Pite's Emergence as performed by Scottish Ballet, 2016
"Emergence in nature happens when a large group of individuals, responding to local stimuli, create beautiful, incredible emergent structures that look like one entity, one brain."
So, you'll need a 38-strong corps de ballet for this one. But wow, it'll pack a punch.
PS. Read about the seven times we got spooked at the International Festival, if you dare...
For more original costume ideas, browse the International Festival's 2016 Programme!

Good idea?
Starbucks has been very invested in whipping up new holiday drinks for their menu.
The latest – the Fruitcake Frappuccino.
The limited time drink is basically a Hazelnut Creme Frappuccino with tons of additional toppings which include dried fruit, whipped cream, caramel and a sprinkle of cinnamon and match (for the color).
If you want to give this a try, you have to move quickly – the cold drink is only available through the weekend!
"The beverage arrives just in time to celebrate another festive tradition — ugly holiday sweaters," Starbucks announced on their website.
This Friday is "National Ugly Sweater Day" for those of you who aren't aware.
Starbucks Rewards members who purchase a Fruitcake Frap will also get an ugly sweater beverage cozy.
Gingerbread cookies dress in ugly sweaters will also be available for purchase!

Sipping and Strolling
One of the best Vancouver events of the year is Sip & Stroll. This year, more than 35 downtown and uptown shops and restaurants offered tastings of wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks to benefit the Hough Foundation.
Starting at Brickhouse Bar & Grill, the event was especially interesting when it featured new businesses. What a selection! From a pole dancing studio to Bad Monkey Bikes, a barber shop (Moe's) to the newly renovated Kiggins Theater, a karate studio to Arnada Naturals and Music with Miss Mindi, new shops were interspersed with old favorites like Tommy O's and Urban Eccentric.
By the end of the evening, $15,000 was raised for the Hough Elementary School Family Resource Center, which provides a clothes closet, snacks, school supplies, an after school music program and volunteer support for students and teachers.
Here are a few photo highlights of Sip & Stroll:

Shops to Love: Shorty's Gift Store
Where is the most beautiful shop in Southwest Washington? Nope! Even if we knew, we wouldn't say. One of the shops that would surely be on the list, however, would be Shorty's Gift Store. The store is located in Shorty's Garden and Home at 10006 Mill Plain Boulevard in Vancouver. (A second nursery is located at 705 NE 199th St north of the Clark County Fairgrounds on the east side of I-5.)
Here are a few of the lovely objects (and one furry mammal) found in the shop, which is delightfully decorated by Ines Mahoney:
The gift store is stocked year round. Pots of all sizes and statues are displayed outside around the nursery. And plants, shrubs and trees are arriving for spring planting at both stores. Bantam and Grouse is open for British-style food at the Mill Plain store. Check out Shorty's Garden and Home for hours and special events. See you in the garden!

Woman with a Repurpose: Scarves and Rugs from Pendleton Fabric and Yarns
Rebecca Weaver is a "repurposer." Each week, at the Vancouver Farmers Market, she sells luscious rugs and woolen scarves she creates from recycled Pendleton yarns and fabric mill ends. She also creates table runners and placemats.
I recently bought multiple scarves to share as gifts. You can give them as individual gifts or wrap them around other objects like soaps or candles — perfect for Made-in-the-Northwest presents. You'll find Rebecca at the Vancouver Farmers Market throughout the fall season.

Vancouver Farmers Market Opens!
There are close to 5,000 farmers markets in the US, according to the Department of Agriculture. My favorite? The Vancouver Farmers Market, of course!
The market opened on Saturday and it was packed. The sunny weather helped attract a crowd that was absolutely elbow to elbow during the noon hour. We were pleased to purchase a whole, cooked crab, beets, pears, carrots, Chinese broccoli and, for Gary, a massive ginger snap cookie.
Many food booths were doing a line out the door business, so to speak. Paella, gumbo, stir fries, seafood chowder, strawberry shortcake, there were plenty of choices. My favorite tamale stand wasn't there but will be in the near future.
As always, the flower vendors were making spectacular bouquets, although I always worry about the daffodil and tulip combos because, if not soaked alone for 24 hours, daffodils secrete a sap that can destroy the tulips. Nonetheless, the arrangements were stunning.
The crafts are always colorful at the market and beautifully made. These felt hats could have been the subject of a still life painting.
And no market is complete without entertainment. A belly dancer provided the noon time performance. I covet her flat stomach!
One of the best things about the market is knowing that it will happen every weekend now through October. Except for perhaps kayaking, I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning.

The Booksellers of Long Beach Peninsula
"A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking." Jerry Seinfeld
Bookstore owners are a hardy (and hearty) bunch. With low profit margins and high overhead, bookstore ownership is not for the faint-hearted. Toss in the pressure from online sales and chain bookstores, and booksellers are downright courageous to be in the industry. We are lucky to have them.
On the Long Beach Peninsula of the Washington Coast, four tenacious booksellers are passionate about books. From Ilwaco to Long Beach to Ocean Park, they serve their communities and thousands of visitors. Open hours may vary with the season, so call ahead for details.
Time Enough Books, Ilwaco
Time Enough Books (157 Howerton Avenue, Ilwaco Harbour Village at the Port of Ilwaco, 360-642-7667) surely must have one of the best views of ANY bookstore in the country. Overlooking the Ilwaco marina, just inside the Columbia River bar, and its commercial and recreational boat fleets, the store is a mainstay of the shops and restaurants along the harbor walk. Fresh seafood is nearby. May through September, the promenade in front of the store features a Saturday market. Depending on the season and weather, there can be a lot happening here.
After collecting and dealing books and filling their home with tomes for "years and years" and inspired by Portland's Powell's Books and Robert's Books of Lincoln City, Karla and Peter Nelson opened Time Enough Books in May 2000. At that time most of the buildings along the harbor were boarded up. Karla had, in fact, cleaned fish as a teenager in the building. It was a "leap of faith," she says.
Time Enough Books now operates a 7 day a week, year-round shop featuring 80% new and 20% used books. "Every book is handpicked by me," Karla says. She is happy to recommend titles, including favorites from the book group, which meets at the store. Harper Lee, a golden lab, is the store greeter.
While all genres are stocked, not surprising, the maritime section is a strong one, reflecting Peter Nelson's experience as a seaman. Chairs by the fireplace encourage reading. And if you haven't found just the right book (or even if you have), Harper Lee will keep you entertained.
Banana Books, Long Beach
You won't find very many banana trees in Long Beach, but you will find Banana Books (114 3rd Street, SW, Long Beach, 360-642-7005) in the old town part of the beach community. Owner Ed Gray worked for 20 years as a book scout and wholesaler or rare books. A small, year-round shop, Banana Books features used titles. "We have a good eye for titles that people are looking for," says Ed. He knows his books.
His customers are 80% tourists with three-quarters of his business, like many other Peninsula shops, coming in June through September. (That's a shame because the peninsula is so relaxing and conducive to reading in winter!) Many of his customers are looking for entertaining beach reads including titles by Patrick McManus, Clive Cussler and Carl Hiaasen. From literature to quick vacation books, Ed offers a diverse collection. Sadly, he doesn't have much time to crack open his inventory. "I'm a bookseller but I don't have a chance to read," he says. He's a fan of Raymond Carver.
More than books, the nine-year-old shop has an espresso bar and a large deck in front of the store. Jewelry shoppers should check out the stunning earrings and necklaces created by jewelry designer Mary Johnson, Ed's wife. Another family member, Sobe, an American Staffordshire, will also be happy to meet you.
Catherine O'Toole Bookseller, Ocean Park
Antiquarian, rare and out-of-print books are the specialties of Catherine O'Toole Bookseller (1310 Bay Avenue, Ocean Park, 360-665-0004). Located in a historic 1880s building – a former Methodist Church and Moose Lodge – her shop is packed floor to ceiling with her collection, which numbers about 68,000 titles. She also carries new local history and guidebooks. "I can't resist books," she says. "It's very gratifying to be able to say to a customer, 'Oh yes, I've got that.'"
In a book-filled office in the front of the shop, Catherine spends her days online, selling her titles through biblio.com and other book sites, and shipping them around the world. Her business model of online selling keeps the store viable year-round.
She was born in Ireland, studied in England and moved to the US in 1967. She studied political science, horticulture and landscape architecture at the University of Washington, where she received her BA. A lifelong learner, Catherine now takes computer classes through the Grays Harbor College at the Community Education Center in Ilwaco. She is also perfecting her pool skills through a league at Doc's Tavern down the block.
If she could turn back the clock, she would like to be a member of London's Bloomsbury Group of Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster and other writers and artists. "They didn't work," she says." They hung out being intellectuals." Catherine hangs out with her thousands of books, her online and in-store customers and Jetsam, her black and white cat.
Adelaide's Books, Ocean Park
Across the street from Catherine's shop, another historic building houses a bookstore. As an owner of the Taylor Hotel (1887-mid-1930s), Adelaide Taylor spent more than 40 years running the lodging spot in the two-story wooden structure in Ocean Park. She died in 1940 but lives on through a bookstore named for her – Adelaide's Books (1401 Bay Avenue, Ocean Park). Cyndy Hayward, a Seattle attorney who moved to Oysterville, bought the building with its expansive wrap-around porch and spent a year renovating it into an airy and inviting bookstore and coffeehouse. She opened the business in 2008.
Approximately 3,000 new books are well-organized from the children's area with its charming mural to young adult, fiction, non-fiction collections and the poetry section, which Cyndy was advised against. The naysayer was wrong. "We sell poetry almost every day of the week," Cyndy says proudly. She offers a diverse, handpicked collection. "We receive strong feedback on the quality of the books." Miles, her friendly, full-sized poodle receives positive strokes, too. He blends right in as he sleeps on the loveseat.
The space is well-suited for game nights and author readings. The upstairs includes apartments and one day might house a low-power community radio station. "I want to make this into a community place," she says. "Books. Coffee. Pastry. Talk." is the shop's tagline. What more could you want?

Shops to Love: Momma Made It – Fabrics with a 19th Century Flair for 21st Century Quilters
What would a pioneer woman think if she traveled through time to Momma Made It of Longview? She would, of course, be shocked at the autos, the asphalt, the development, but not the bolts of cloth.
Women on the Oregon Trail brought quilts that reminded them of loved ones left behind. Momma Made It is filled with 100% cotton fabrics with earthy warm colors and prints that would have looked at home in covered wagons and one-room cabins.
Owner Sharon Pennel started quilting while expecting the arrival of her daughter. Forty-two years later, she still loves the craft, opening Momma Made It in 1996 in a downtown Longview house. She recently moved the store to a larger space where she, and her staff of three, can host classes and quilting clubs.
The shop is neatly stocked with 2500 bolts of ever-changing fabric, featuring reproductions of traditional, homespun fabric of the 1800s plus quilting books, patterns and kits, some of which are Sharon's own design and distributed nationally. Her own patterns are "inspired by antique quilts were have seen or imagined," she reports. Her top quality fabric collection attracts quilters from around the region and advice is always available. "We have no aversions to giving a lesson on the spur of the moment," Sharon says. "We're in it for the fun."
Open every day but Sunday, Momma Made It is located at 2121 8th Avenue in downtown Longview, 360.636.5631, www.mommamadeit.com

Jansen discusses his first new release in nearly two years, a new quartet album entitled, RONIN. He talks with Lamon about the deeper and more philosophical aspects of his new release, Ronin.
The plight of the Ronin draws many similarities to what I have observed with those of us who adopt the way, or follow a life of the study of the art and craft of instrumental improvised music. Live performance and revenue streams have become increasingly scarce as society and technology have changed. However, like the Ronin, we artists persist as warriors and keepers of the flame, devoting our lives to the propagation of the Music. We have become drifters, outsiders, masterless and seeking the truth of who we are as artists and people.
Ronin was conceived with the inspiration and perspective of the ancient masterless samurai. I have reflected on my own trials, tribulations and triumphs along the path I have chosen. From reflections and life events I was inspired to write this collection of original compositions. I sincerely hope that you will join me on my journey along the path. —BJ Jansen
Ronin hits the streets March 4th, 2014 and features; Mamiko Watanabe on piano, Mike Boone on bass, Amanda Ruzza on bass, Chris Beck on drums and Dorota Piotrowska on drums.

The skeletal remains of two victims found in an abandoned pot garden are yet to be identified. But the man who's allegedly admitted to his part in the crime is due back in Butte County next Tuesday. Butte County Sheriff's Lt. Al Smith says 21 year old Joel Beltran was arrested last week in Fontana. Smith says a trail of clues led to Beltran where he was arrested. The skeletal remains were reportedly found in an abandoned pot patch off Coutelenc Road in Magalia.

Karonn Davis has played a key role in the post-Amile Jefferson era going pretty smoothly at Friends' Central.
As he showed in Tuesday afternoon's Friends Schools League showdown against Abington Friends, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior is a capable scorer, a solid distributor, and rebounds surprisingly well for his size.
With Davis delivering 25 points and eight rebounds, the Phoenix jumped on the Kangaroos early on and, with solid free-throw shooting down the stretch, posted a 76-64 victory in Wynnewood.
"Karonn is one of the toughest players in the area," Friends' Central first-year coach Ryan Tozer said "We sometimes ask him to cover the other team's big man. His strength allows him to do that."
Davis, who can play either guard position, notched 16 points in the second half. In the third quarter, his three-point play and coast-to-coast layup put the hosts comfortably in front, 55-35.
The Phoenix (17-5 overall, 7-0 FSL) have fared well despite the graduation of Jefferson, who is now at Duke.
"We knew we weren't going to be as good as we were last year," Davis said. "Without Amile, we've really had to bend down and play defense. We have to have energy there."
Against Abington Friends, which trailed by as many as 18 in the first half, Davis shot 9 for 14 from the field (2 from 3 from beyond the arc) and 5 for 6 from the line. He added four assists.
For the season, Davis, who spent two years at Monsignor Bonner before coming over to Friends' Central and reclassifying, is averaging 19.5 points per game.
Despite the West Philly resident's production, Division I colleges have not exactly been knocking his door. His two scholarship offers are from Rider and LIU Brooklyn. Vermont and Hartford have made inquiries.
The chance to play at Robert Morris went away when Kavon Stewart, a 5-11 point guard from Hudson Catholic (N.J.), committed to the Colonials in the fall. "That's how the recruiting process goes," Davis said. "There are a lot of ups and downs."
Sophomore guard Jonathan Lawton (18 points, four assists), Chestnut Hill commit Billy Cassidy (15 points, two treys), and 6-4 freshman De'Andre Hunter (13 points, seven boards) also played well against the Kangaroos (16-5, 5-1)
Abington Friends, which had a 15-game win streak come to an end, received 14 points apiece from Montana Mayfield and reserve Josh Sharkey.
Abington Friends 15 14 16 19-64
Friends' Central 24 19 15 18-76
AFS: Montana Mayfield 14, Tony Carr 5, Jerimyjah Batts 9, Joe Robinson 6, Jordan Greene 8, Will James 4, Josh Sharkey 14, Jared Wright 4.
FC: Jonathan Lawton 18, Billy Cassidy 15, De'Andre Hunter 13, Will Pedrick 5, Karonn Davis 25.

I've decided to try some new things with the blog. Depending on feedback, we'll see how it goes. I realize whether you're a designer or a chef or a doctor, in order for you to grow you have to get involved in something besides yourself. Engage the community to which you belong. So I've decided to start a list of resources to share with other designers out there. I think that if I had found some of these resources sooner I would have had a better portfolio when I graduated and maybe gotten a better job. Well you live and you learn and if you're a decent human being you teach. So to start this off I've decided to feature the Lost Type CO-OP by Tyler Galpin and Riley Cran
Their words:
"The Lost Type Co-Op is a Pay-What-You-Want Type foundry, the first of its kind.
Founded by Riley Cran and Tyler Galpin, originally in a whirlwind 24 hour adventure to distribute a single typeface, Lost Type has blossomed into a full fledged foundry, distributing fonts from designers all over the world, with its unique model.
Users have the opportunity to pay whatever they like for a font, you can even type in '$0' for a free download.
100% of funds from these sales go directly to the designers of the fonts, respectively.
Lost Type takes no cut of sales, and holds no funds."
My words:
The Lost Type Co-Op is great resource for some really great fonts. I've used these fonts on a couple projects including this site but also just for fun stuff I've done. Some of the fonts are limited to only Uppercase characters or a font might not have numerals but, in my opinion, that just adds to the character of these fonts. The first font I bought was "Onramp" by Michael Spitz. I visit the site regularly and I'm starting to see more and more of the fonts being used in various projects out there. Well, I won't ruin it with any more opinions – go check it out and see for yourself.

Style and Technique
(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
In "We Blacks All Drink Coffee," as in the other stories in the collection, collaborating with the revolution makes for praiseworthy citizens. Although endorsement of communist ideals is not overtly political, nothing less than a sympathetic perspective would be publishable in the highly censured society in which Mirta Yáñez writes.
The narrators in this collection are often young brigadiers who, while on volunteer detail, witness life in the coffee-growing town of Florida Blanca, and as a result of this experience develop a personal understanding of people and communities different from those back home. The story "We Blacks All Drink Coffee" differs in that the narrator/protagonist is a would-be brigadier whose sympathies for people and behavior considered unworthy by her mother spark a family crisis. Unlike Yáñez's predilection for external settings, this story remains contained within the household in which the quarrel erupts.
Typically, in Yáñez's stories, a lack of clear dialogue leaves the reader to surmise who is doing the talking. This is further complicated in "We Blacks All Drink Coffee" because the narration is filtered through the direct interior monologue of a teenage girl. The unsuspecting reader must figure out from bits and pieces of conversation that an argument is underway.
In Yañez's clever rendering of the daughter's stream of consciousness, the voices of both teenager and mother...

West Ham winger Gokhan Tore provided his first assist in his first Premier League game for the Hammers in their 1-0 victory over Bournemouth becoming the first player to provide an assist in the Olympic stadium in the process.
We took a look at how West Ham fans reacted to Tore's display on social media.
Tore was awarded the Man of the Match award by West Ham fans on Twitter for his impressive display.
You have voted assist-maker @Gokhan_Tore7 as your #MOTM v @afcbournemouth #WHUBOU ⚒ pic.twitter.com/SJ1nmlTzZ6
— West Ham United (@WestHamUtd) August 21, 2016
Football journalist Philippe Auclair was pretty impressed with his display!
No surprise West Ham's (likely) winner should have had Gokhan Tore at the heart of it. Excellent throughout.
— Philippe Auclair (@PhilippeAuclair) August 21, 2016
Gokhan Tore easily man of the match
— Hammer Time (@Meg_Central) August 21, 2016
Tore is still not 100 percent match fit after only returning from a knee injury last week but he has started to show glimpses of why he is Slaven Bilic's golden boy.
Gokhan Tore was elite how are people still talking shit after today
— joe (@_joeWHU) August 21, 2016
And what a cross it was!
Gokhan Tore deserves all the credit what a cross
— fredericks (@claretandblue_) August 21, 2016
What a player that Gokhan Tore is!
— Peter Kenyon (@piekenyon123) August 21, 2016
Tore was not given much attention in the post-match show on Sky Sports… in fact his name was not even mentioned.
Sure did!
We've got a player in Gokhan Tore I feel. Was as good as Antonio today, sure @Turkish_Futbol loved it!
— Read West Ham (@ReadWestHam) August 21, 2016
And in case you are wondering his name translates to, The Code of the Skylord
It was not all praise. Tore seems to have a hardcore group of critics for some reason.
How is there actual football fans that think Gokhan Tore had a good game?
Absolute dump of a performance barring an assist
— Adam Jordan (@AdamJordan23) August 21, 2016
Bit harsh!
I honestly reckon Gokhan Tore would struggle to get a game for a Turkish outfit over Hackney Marshes on a Sunday afternoon! Useless! #WHUFC

Pretty much sums things up here.
5 facts you need to know about West Ham signing Gokhan Tore

Tom Dumoulin (Ned), managed a silver medal performance despite fracturing his wrist just 2.5 weeks prior, while Tour de France winner Chris Froome (GBR) took the bronze again at his second appearance at the Games.
"For me it was a personal best performance," said Houle. "The result is not as good as I would have liked, I would have like to finish between 10 and 15. But I did my best with what I had, it was as fast as I could go. In a time trial you have to keep pushing, keep pushing.
"It was a really technical course, especially with the rain at the beginning. On the descents I went pretty conservative because I didn't want to crash. It was a really nice course, but you had to really manage your power and pace yourself. The climbing was hard, especially the really steep part on a time trial bike. It had a bit of everything, so it was a good course for an Olympic time trial."
This is the second Olympic gold for Spartacus, having won gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and now the 2016 event in Rio. "Olympic champion….. What a crazy day. #gold i am so proud and still without words," tweeted Cancellara.
Jacques Landry, Director of High Performance for Canada, summed up the Road events at the end of the Men's Time Trial. "It was always a long shot to do anything in the Road Races; Leah [Kirchmann] didn't have the legs and Mike Woods is really only in his 20th race of the season because of numerous injuries. So for the road races we weren't expecting anything.
"On the time trial side of things, I'll be honest, for Tara [Whitten] I was hoping for a medal. I think she's capable of it, but she was just beat by some stronger women on the day. She did a really good technical race and dug deep… she's one of the top time trialists that we've ever had."

There was a meeting held last week by the Maharashtra Government regarding the issue of the initiative taken by the former Minister and Congress leader Mohammed Arif Naseem. The meeting was held at the Vidhan Bhavan wherein the state Education Minister, Mr. Vinod Tawde disclosed the plans of the Maharashtra Government's commitment to building a "Hindi Bhasha Bhawan". The Bhawan is planned to be built in the Kalina Campus of Mumbai University. The government has already sanctioned Rs. 2 crores for the building project. The Government further plans to name the building after politician and Hindi Literateur Dr. Ram Manohar Tripathi.
Recently Mumbai University was in the buzz because it was failing to utilize the grant offered for the construction of Dr. Rammanohar Tripathi Hindi Bhasha Bhawan, by the District Planning and Development Committee of Mumbai Suburbs.
Mr. Dipendra Singh Kushwaha, District Collector, Mumbai Suburban also issued a notice to the University regarding the same. The letter read that if the university would not utilize the fund before the end of the financial year it will be treated as lapsed.
The meeting conducted at the Vidhan Bhawan yesterday was attended by Kushwaha, Sanjay Deshmukh, Vice Chancellor Mumbai University and some reputed senior Hindi journalist.
To his defense, Deshmukh said that the varsity put a hold on the project because they had a much wider plan to make the building as a multi-storey building that would be the home of many other University departments.
The statement was immediately opposed by the Congress leader Khan who said that the foundation of the building was laid after the all the due clearance from Government and hence there is no good reason to delay the construction of the building further.
Deshmukh gave his statement that the previous VC of the varsity did not complete all the formalities and the varsity's Management Council is yet to approve the project of Hindi Bhavan.
"I will see how to adjust the Bhavan in the plan. As Dr. Tripathi was a respected and reputed writer and politician, we stand committed to building the Hindi Bhavan bearing his name," Tawde said while instructing the Vice Chancellor to submit the master plan for the multi-storey building as proposed by Deshmukh.
It is to be noted that the building was approved by the District Collector in June 2014 and since then no work has been taken to progress. The Education Minister was seen concerned about the issue and he has directed the University to move according to the original plan.

UK 'will pay Brussels more' even if Cameron wins deal
David Cameron is resigned to paying more into Brussels's coffers even as a deal on freezing overall spending in the European Union appeared tantalisingly within reach.
The European Council talked yesterday of preparing a "landing zone" in which all 27 EU leaders could reach a budget deal. Its current parameters would allow Mr Cameron to claim victory, with EU spending frozen and possibly cut over the coming seven years. However, all sides face a war of nerves when they arrive in Brussels tomorrow for talks expected to last one, and possibly two, nights.
France and Spain have both indicated that they would not sign up to a deal unless the €973.2 billion proposals currently on the table were increased. Britain's hard line has exasperated even…

Man when it rains it pours
At least this isn't my machine. A friends got an old HP Pavilion a220N, here's the specs.
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
NVidia GE Force 4MX (onboard sharing 64 mg memory)
512 mg ram
120 Gig Wester Digital HDD (This component is the problem)
Floppy and CD/RW he cannibalized for another another system.
Okay here's the meat of it.
It errors at boot time with this
Ultra DMA Mode-5 S.M.A.R.T Capable but Command Failed
I booted with a WinXP CD but it wouldn't launch an install due to the error. I installed an old 20 gig Maxtor drive I have lying around, set it as master and his 120 gig WD as slave, booted and ran the XP install. No problems there. However on boot we still get the SMART errors for the slave.
Auto detect reports
Primary Slave: (model and serial number stuff) Ultra DMA Mode-5 S.M.A.R.T Capable but Command Failed
Then halts the boot with
Primary Slave Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Command Failed
Press F1 for setup F2 to continue.
The drive is properly recognized in the bios and there is no option for disabling SMART in the bios either, it shows in the bios it's enabled, however no toggle to disable it.
Okay so in Windows the WD HDD does not show up in either My Computer or Device Manager.
I tried installing the latest WD Data Life Guard Diagnostic Utilities, but it doesn't see the drive in XP, and there are no diagnostics for the dos mode, just partitioning options, (I'm trying to save his data if possible so I didn't do that).
I have Paragon Hard Disk Manager installed, it doesn't see the drive either.
Anybody got any idea how to make this drive visible in windows? Or even a dos based hard drive utility that will allow me to run diagnostics on the drive or recover some of the data? (I can't recover much, only got a working 20 gig in the machine, however right now I can't even tell how much data he's got on the 120 gig WD HDD).
Thanks in advance!
11/16/2006 (4:57 am) by Karl Kamysek
XP's add new hardware wizard found the drive. However, when adding it to the system it really bogged down, I'm guessing the drive is really corrupted bad. It took about 20 minutes for it to add the drive, then gives an error when you drive to access it. It does show up in My Computer now though, as two drives, f: and E:HP Recovery Ha, isn't that funny
Amyway, WD's data lifeguard won't even run on it, (I was running it while typing this), reporting to many bad sectors to run even a quick scan. I'm guessing theres no way we're gonna recover anything from this drive without using spinrite or something, and I'm not sure the data he has on there is worth the purchase price.
(Anybody know what SpinRite casts nowadays anyway?)
Well, if anybody can think of a cheap easy way to recover any of his data, I'm all ears  Otherwise I've got another old HDD I can throw in it for him for a whopping total of 28 gig!
Thanks again!
11/16/2006 (5:22 am) by Ray Bay
Spinrite works great, but you need the newest version by download which is version 6.0. For new customers, that is $89.00 by credit card, and well worth it.
For users of previous versions (which are on file there if you were the purchaser) it can cost anywhere from $29 to $69.00. As one of the first purchasers way back in 95 or so, the updates at $29 are a bargain.
You can buy it at www.grc.com/cs/prepurch.htm
there are others worth a try that work well for me. You can find them at www.majorgeek.com
It is now only available by download.
11/16/2006 (1:27 pm) by admin
Western Digital Service and Support Downloads page has some great links for checking the warrantee status of the drive (you will need the serial numbers off the drive). But, moreover, you may want to try out the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS (Floppy) version to see if you can get more results than you have via something in house with XP. (Isn't there a DOS version floppy creation tool on that WD disk?) There are myriad amounts of downloads and trouble shooting links and articles available at WD sites just for the click of a mouse. Nonetheless, I'd also be sure that I got the warrantee checked out while I was at the site because, unless a hardware issue such as bad connections are present that completely fix and address the current presentation, you will want to help your friend recoup any monetary loss---bad sectors, yea, pretty much sure that you got a disk good for nothing else.
But SMART or _Analysis,_and_Reporting_Technology,(Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) has told you that the drive has failed or *is* failing. This may mean that data recovery may not be an option. In this instance, the infamous voice of experience speaks: You might consider preparing the "friend" that the drive may be beyond hope with even less hope of data recovery. This way if you are successful you become a miracle worker with no lynch mobs after you if you fail...
Nevertheless, I do not see that you did any type of hardware inspection. Hardware, builds and general A+ issues being my main forte, I'd first check those power and cable leads thoroughly before I condemned the drive via the SMART utility alone.
As a trick of the trade to share, I *have* used Ghost to image a failing drive, bad sectors included the first time around, to another drive [and] had success at straightening everything out on the drive I copied to---sometimes I have had to go back and disregard bad sectors during the image process to make my efforts fruitful.
But I like Ghost----opinions vary on this program...obviously the later versions are better. A Google search will turn up a number of hits depending on your search terms.
If I were in your shoes I'd first image the drive before I did something irreversible---if you can (With Ghost you would probably have to do this in a DOS environment since you say you have XP issues working with the drive.) But you may just be able to copy the drive via XP with Ghost since you are not actually accessing the drive for informational reads but a copy only…this is issue is dependant on the situation. All you can do is try one way or the other: Again, please note I have had personal success with this method.
Then I'd try some repair issues via the DOS application if applicable to your configuration---Within Windows if not…
But if you can get the drive to read at all I'd for sure get as much data off of it as I could before the darn thing hit the trash or a box for RMA.
Notwithstanding anything else offered here, and in closing this post, [and] with the usual disclaimers of use at your own risk concepts, I'd like to leave you with the consideration of some Free Disk Management Utilities.
Freebyte's Guide to...Free file and disk utilities is but one of the many sites out there on the net if you don't want to spend the money on something name brand. Some of these freebie type programs I have used, others, not. All have their own limitations.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in using SpinRite 6.0 for Windows XP (NTFS). If cost/time effectiveness couples with end-user satisfaction while leaning in that direction, then by all means, take that route.
...But good luck with it regardless your method or outcome.

Very NICE to see you and am sure there are others working on this Board that are aware of Mr. Gibson's website. I have been a fan of his for many years, using ShieldsUp; ProbeMyPorts; and many of his FREE software downloads. Also own a licensed copy of "SpinRite" v5 and v6 that are used on my H/Ds atleast once a month sometimes more often.
His SecurityNow with Leo LaPorte are very informative especially on "Vista" and security in general. Not necessarily for his business but for the users that are interested in upgrading to 'Vista' to learn what is going on behind their backs and what MicroSoft is doing to that software.
Excuse me Wills_PCS,
I had not read any of the other posts in this thread and had not noticed you mentioning 'SpinRite', GREAT to see this being passed around. I have been using Steve's software for about 18 years and find it very good and helpful. Plus his SecurityNow PodCasts are very good as well.
Have also looked into the site you have provided in the preceeding post to freebytedotcom and will do more investigating later, WOW there are many features there that look very GOOD!!
Thank you,
I apologize for this neglect on my part,
Thank you for reading this post,

My friend decided any data he had on there wasn't worth the time or effort recovering. Apparently it was just a home entertainment/internet box and not much else. So I threw a couple of old drives I had laying around in and he's back up and running.
Thanks all for the help, and Will the link to Freebyte! That's exactly what I was looking for, I just cringe when I have to Google "Free" anything
