Welcome and Happy Tongue Out Tuesday! I'm so excited to share this treat review with all of you from Spot Farms. But first, I dug out my farm bandana to help get me looking the part of a farmer.
Let's learn more about Spot Farms:
- Made in the USA
- 100% made in the USA using farm raised, antibiotic-free chicken, turkey and pork
- Spot Farms partners with farm families across the country to make the best treats using the finest ingredients available.
- 100% Human-Grade Ingredients
- All Natural
- No artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors
- Grain and Glycerin Free
- Free of fillers like glycerin, corn, wheat, and soy
For this review I sampled Spot Farms Pork Bacon, Chicken Nuggets, and Chicken Fillets. The second the packages opened a strong, mouthwatering aroma emerged and made me start to drool. These treats smell, look and felt just like human food! Finally, my mom gave me a sample of each one. Boy, oh, boy were they all chewy, yummy, and delicious. I begged my mom for more samples and she gave in and gave me more. These treats will leave your pup begging for more!
Spot Farms treats coming in two different size resealable bags. Their packing is packed full of fun and information.
The first thing I noticed on the front of the packaging was the map of the U.S. with an arrow showing where the meat was raised in the U.S. When I flipped the bag over there is bio of the farmer who raised the meat, where he is from, and a little about the farm.
The second thing I noticed was the fun bar code illustrations. On the pork packages the bar code is inside a pig. While the poultry treats the bar code is inside a chicken. I found this a fun and whimsical addition.
The third wonderful featured I noticed was the large window showing you just what is inside the bag. I love being able to see a majority of the treats inside. However, my humans caught me starring at the treats while drooling.
I give these products four paws way up, but will not be sharing. Spot Farms impressed me from the taste and smell of their treats as well as their packaging. But I especially love their partnerships with farm families across the country. Coming from a farm family I appreciate the hard work and determination farmer put into their livelihoods and commend them for all the work they do.
To learn more about Spot Farms and their other many treats, visit and follow them on any of these sites: Website, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Now onto the giveaway! The giveaway is open to any U.S. resident who is 18 years of age or older. No purchase necessary. The giveaway will run from Tuesday, January 19, 2016 through Monday, January 25, 2016 at 11:59 EST.

Characterization of the corrosion layer on iron archaeological artefacts from K2 (825-1220 AD), an archaeological site in South Africa
Publication Details
Koleini, F., Prinsloo, L. C., Schoeman, M. H. A., Pikirayi, I. & Chirikure, S. (2013). Characterization of the corrosion layer on iron archaeological artefacts from K2 (825-1220 AD), an archaeological site in South Africa. Studies in Conservation, 58 (3), 274-282.
A study of the composition and phase distribution of the corrosion layers on three ferrous objects, excavated at K2 (Bambandyanalo), an archaeological site in South Africa, was conducted. The objective of the study was to obtain information that can contribute to conservation procedures to be performed on the iron artefacts from this site. Examination of cross sections by means of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy coupled to a scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and micro- Raman spectroscopy revealed the same corrosion composition and structure for all the objects under study, namely an internal layer adjacent to the metal surface with ghost inclusions and an external layer containing quartz grains. The study also revealed that the presence of magnetite (Fe3O4), maghemite (γFe2O3), and lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) within the internal layer is the only difference between the chemical compositions of iron corrosion products within the two layers. The results also made it possible to retrace the corrosion history during burial and long-term storage.

German city sets example with sustainable energy policies
The German city of Bremen has set a target of reducing its carbon emissions by 40 percent by the year 2020. Joachim Lohse, Senator for Environment, Urban Development and Transportation for the city of Bremen, tells us how they plan to do it and why they have made this a policy priority.

cold hardy avocado Tree
I bought a cold hardy avocado tree from "fastgrowningtrees.com" two years ago with the expectation that it would produce in 1-2 years. It has not produced yet. Should I be concerned? Second question is a large percentage of the branches are pointing toward the ground. Should I trim these back? My instinct says yes, but I thought it wise to check with you.
As long as the trees were grafted ones purchased at a nursery or garden center, then you should be able to get fruit from them. In order to bear fruit, the avocado tree needs pollinators. You might want to consider planting flowers that draw bees and other similar pollinators to encourage your tree to bear more fruit if this is an issue.
Additionally, if you are seeing lots of foliage growth with little to no blooming, then it's likely a nutrient imbalance - too much nitrogen, which produces lush growth and too little phosphorus, which is responsible for flowering and fruiting. Without flowers, you won't get fruit. I would give the tree a high phosphorus fertilizer, or add bone meal to the soil. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm
You can do some judicious pruning, no more than 1/3 of the branches at a time. This article will help with pruning: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/avocado/pruning-avocado-trees.htm

Gift-giving is an important part of the holiday season for lots of people, and as fulfilling as that can be, gift-receiving sure is nice, too. If you were one of the early subscribers to sign up for Google's MVNO service this year, the company might just have a special Project Fi holiday gift with your name on it, as users start seeing surprise packages land on their doorsteps.
Tucked inside, Project Fi users will find a bag of building blocks (OK, we don't know if they're official, capital-L Lego or just a look-alike, but we're not splitting hairs), USB type-C cable, and a set of instructions that will lead them down the road to assembling their own little smartphone charging stand.
Will you be getting this gift, too? Well, that depends on how and when you signed up for Project Fi. Basically, if you ordered your SIM (or a phone with a SIM) on November 9 or later, or you ordered it earlier but activated by November 19, you're covered – if you already canceled service, or if you had ordered earlier but hadn't gotten around to activating it, you're out of luck.
Google only just started sending these out, and notes that more are on their way in batches over the next several weeks, so you may have to sit tight for a while before yours shows up.

Two weeks back, our team attended the 64th Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics (ASMS). At these events, networking can happen anywhere, at any time. In fact, one of our most memorable networking experiences took place in an elevator, of all places! As a 908 employee, who was wearing a branded shirt, stepped into the elevator, a passenger quickly turned to him and asked, "how's that chip thing going?" Another rider promptly replied, "I have one of those. That thing is great!". Wow did that energize us! We enjoyed so many positive reactions and meaningful conversations over the week of activities this year.
We had no doubt that the event would be valuable for us, as it is attended by more than 6,500 scientists, professors, students and opinion leaders within the mass spec (MS) community. Although we've attended ASMS in the past, this year was especially noteworthy for us, as it was the first year we displayed our full line of solutions: M908™, G908™ and ZipChip™.
ZipChip Takes Center Stage
In addition to showcasing our product offerings, ASMS provided the ideal venue to announce our collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific. We had a strong joint presence and were able to show off our ZipChip and discuss its ability to work with their Exactive, Q Exactive and LTQ Orbitrap Hybrid FT MS instruments to enhance analytical capabilities – opening up new measurements and speeding up others. It's been great to work with a company as distinguished and impactful within the MS industry as Thermo Fisher Scientific. Their support for our technology speaks volumes and we're eager to continue working together.
As a result of this collaboration, ZipChip became the talk of the show, which was dominated by members of the life science and biopharma communities. Launched earlier this year, and officially debuted at ASMS, ZipChip is an innovative system that provides high-quality separation capabilities for a broad range of biomolecules as a front-end for MS instruments.
Onsite, attendees had the opportunity look at the ZipChip interface and review a plethora of data we have acquired across a wide range of applications. The lengthy conversations at our booth and positive reactions we received were extremely rewarding and validating to us.
An Application Mindset
MS vendors have always struggled to walk the line between performance and simplicity (aka accessibility). Historically, users had to sacrifice one for the other, but technological innovations are changing this. At 908 Devices, we aim to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable knowledge through our user-friendly devices. Just as we no longer need to be programmers to use a computer, scientists shouldn't have to be experts in MS or chromatography to do their jobs.
At this year's show in particular, we saw this theme reinforced time and time again – solutions; not "instruments". In most cases, scientists approached us with specific application needs in mind. We resonate with that mindset! They weren't looking for an instrument, a particular separations technology, and certainly not any piece of complex hardware, which may require further modifications upon purchase. Quite the contrary. What we found was a desire for simple, easy-to-use devices that could be directly applied to specific problems they have.
We love to solve problems and this approach makes so much sense to us given modern life. Most of us don't walk into a car dealership and base our purchase on which model has a particular torque convertor, fuel injector scheme, or horsepower spec — we want something that fits us. You might want something to be fuel efficient, reliable, and able to carry your whole family. You want to get to where you want to go – you don't want to spend the weekends tuning the performance and doing maintenance. We are application-driven.
As with most purchasing decisions, we're seeing life science professionals thinking largely in terms of end use and asking more abstract questions. They aren't looking for performance indicators; they're looking for a device to make the job easier.
In each of the industries we touch, we aim to provide purpose-built, user-friendly devices (not instruments) that empower users and allow them to abstract from the technology and get on with their daily work. We've developed all our products with end use in mind and have created devices designed to solve specific customer pain points. These industries want simple solutions and we're confident that our range of products is well suited to answer the call.
Dr. Kevin J. Knopp, CEO & co-founder of 908 Devices

So Rom #1 was a good comic, much to my surprise. How's #2? Still good, but not as good.
Interestingly, we still don't get to see the Dire Wraiths in their alien form. Instead, we get a bit of development in the spaceknight's relationship with the human woman Brandy Clark, who wants to believe that Rom is a hero despite the fact that he keeps burning human-looking people who she has known all her life. I do wish she wasn't such a "dumb girl" trope–but I guess you can't have everything in a toy-based comic.
We also find out that there's a corporation that has been building anti-Spaceknight weapons. Obviously, it's a company with Dire Wraiths running it. They give a criminal named Archie Stryker a suit of armor called "Firefall," and use him to fight Rom.
Sal Buscema is still putting his best into this book. I guess Mantlo told him how profitable these toy comics could be.
Meanwhile, the Wraiths have infiltrated our government as two "FBI agents" kidnap Brandy. She gets rescued by the end of the story, further cementing her belief in, and relationship with, Rom.
Creators: Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema

A offense's floor is set by the offensive line.
They're the building blocks of the entire unit and approach. Whether they can credibly cover up disruptive DL or allow the QB to consistently finish a dropback progression determines what's possible for a unit to even attempt. There was a time when there'd be an annual fan/media flip-out when Texas would fail to secure the expected 5-10 sacks against a team like UNT or Rice in an early season contest. The reason would be that Rice or UNT, knowing that their OL couldn't hope to block Texas' DL in pass protection, would only run the ball, throw screens, or use play-action and quick hitters in the passing game often from a moving QB.
Commentators saw a DL failing to get home to the QB but the reality was that Texas' opponent had confined itself into a box on offense in an attempt to avoid disaster. Beyond those sorts of schematic decisions, there's a dozen other ways that an OL can set the floor for an offense. How effective are the double teams? Can anyone up front be counted on to cover up and beat a DL without a long double? Are there blocking schemes that go out the window if an opponent has a certain type of DL? Can either tackle hold up consistently against a good DE without help in protection?
Another floor-setting matter that typically goes a long way in determining the quality of an OL is the experience level of the unit. Commentators often get excited about recruiting levels but there's no other position where experience matters more. The OL needs to know how to pick up stunts and slants, the best way to block plays and fronts together, and as many tricks as they can absorb for how to leverage superior size and strength to beat out superior athleticism.
The 2019 Oklahoma OL should be a good testing ground for this dimension of line play. They had four starters from the 2018 unit drafted and consequently lose 141 combined starts. Center and RS sophomore Creed Humphrey will be their only OL with starting experience next season, leading a big, talented, but exceptionally green unit.
Much like the Sooners, Texas' offensive design is built from a starting point of being able to bully teams for consistent gains in the trenches if they don't commit numbers to stop the run. The situation in terms of experience in Austin is better than in Norman but there are really only two well established stalwarts for veteran coach Herb Hand to build around.

World's Baddest GT-R – 3000HPMay 21st, 2018
Well, Alpha Performance seems to have reset the bar once again with their latest entry into the realm of the extremely modified Nissan GT-R.
After posting a weekend best top speed of 228 mph in the roll racing event, the OB Prestige owned car ripped off a trio of near 6-second passes in the quarter-mile drag races. Personal best elapsed times of 7.11, 7.06, and 7.05-seconds were all recorded before this mirror finish sports coupe was put back on the trailer. All this is accomplished with stock diameter tires on front and rear.
There is also a dyno test. The results are calculated at 55 psi of boost. On the track today, at TX2K18, boost is turned up to 77 psi. When it comes to the quarter-mile, this car certainly doesn't have a power problem. Horsepower is documented at 2842awhp and 2075 lb.-ft. of torque. When the Alpha team develops some much needed traction this thing is going to make a serious run at the GT-R World Record in the quarter-mile.

Police: Maryland couple's murder happened during burglary
ROCKVILLE, MD - Police said Tuesday that Maryland couple Richard and Julianne Vilardo were killed during a burglary, but it remains unclear what, if anything, was taken from their home, reports CBS affiliate WUSA.
The couple, whose bodies were discovered Sunday, were stabbed to death at their Rockville, Md., home. The large, messy crime scene - indicative of a violent struggle - has made it difficult to tell what might be missing, a source told WUSA.
Investigators believe somebody may have entered the home through a window. The glass was not broken and the window latch may or may not have been in use.
Detectives could be seen walking through the woods outside the Vilardos' home, looking for evidence until sundown Tuesday. Later, they continued to search the backyard by flashlight for more than an hour.
The Vilardos' neighborhood is described as "quiet as quiet can be" by one resident, and Captain Paul Starks of the Montgomery County Police Department said violent crime is rare.
"This is a very unique and unusual crime; certainly in this area," Starks said.
The couple was in Charles Town, W.Va., on Saturday evening where they had dinner with friends. The Vilardos returned home that evening, which is the last time they were known to be alive, police said.
Julianne Vilardo's body was found inside of the home and her husband's body was found in the back of the house just outside, police said. There was trauma to the upper part of both of their bodies.
The couple was supposed to meet family members Sunday morning, but never showed up.
Anyone with information regarding the deaths of Richard and Julianne Vilardo is asked to contact the Montgomery County Police at 301.279.8000. For those who want to remain anonymous and be eligible for up to a $10,000 reward, please call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).

Relay for Life begins today
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Midland County is taking place this weekend and offering area residents an opportunity to fight back against cancer in a unique way.
Anyone who has never had cancer and is between the ages of 30 and 65 can enroll in Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). Enrollment takes place from 1 to 5 p.m. today at the Midland County Fairgrounds, during the annual Relay For Life event. This study will help researchers better understand the lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer.
"This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Americans to participate in lifesaving cancer research," said Michele Belson, American Cancer Society CPS-3 volunteer chair for the event. "While the American Cancer Society has been conducting these types of studies for decades, their world-class research department can only study new and emerging cancer risks if members of the community are willing to become involved."
To enroll in the study, individuals complete a brief written survey, provide a waist measurement, and give a small blood sample at the Relay enrollment site, and then complete their enrollment at home where they fill out a more comprehensive baseline survey. Over the course of the study, participants will be asked to fill out follow-up surveys every few years.
"Many individuals diagnosed with cancer struggle to answer the question, 'What caused my cancer?' In many cases, we don't know the answer," said Alpa V. Patel, principal investigator of CPS-3. "CPS-3 will help us better understand what factors cause cancer, and once we know that, we can be better equipped to prevent cancer."
For more information on CPS-3, visit cancer.org/cps3, email email@example.com, or call (888) 604-5888.
Relay For Life starts today at 9 a.m. and runs through 9 a.m. Sunday.

30 days renewal grace period -- > 30 days Redemption grace period --> 5 days pending delete
If you did not renew or restore the domain name, it will be released for public re-registration approximately 75 days from the domain expiration date. Please note that domain re-registration is on first-come, first-served basis.
25) Can I initiate a registrar transfer for .tel domain name and how do I initiate the transfer?
Yes, you are allowed to initiate registrar transfer for .tel domain name. Please note that domain will be extended for 1 year after completion.
You may refer to Transfer Domain to Exabytes for more information.
26) How do I resolve a dispute regarding my .tel domain?
.tel domain names are subject to the ICANN Uniform Dispute Resolution Procedure (UDRP).
27) How do I update the nameserver for my .tel domain name?
.tel involves unique technology which store contact information, keywords and unique nameserver is required. Therefore, all .tel domain name submit via WebNIC will be using WebNIC set of default nameserver.
Therefore, Exabytes are unable to update the nameserver of a .tel domain name.
28) Is it possible for registrants to change a .Tel domain name with their own DNS and build a website?
No, it is not possible to update to own DNS. The DNS setting of a .Tel domain name is different from other gTLDs, and the .Tel DNS must be appointed by the .Tel registry. This means that the .Tel domain owner can NOT setup or change with their own DNS.
No, the TelHosting policy disallows A-records that map .TEL domains to custom websites. All .Tel domains point to a proxy page displaying contact information which can then be universally accessible.
29) Does Exabytes provide Internationalized Domain name (IDN) for .tel?
No, Exabytes does not provide IDN.tel domain name at this moment.
30) Why isn't my .tel domain in search engines?
The .tel domain is optimized for search engines, but you need to add keywords to help the engines categorize your .tel and move it to the top of search results. There's no quick trick, so it may take several weeks for a .tel domain with wise keyword entries to get better hits from search engines.
31) I forgot my username (password)?
On the login page, click 'Forgotten your password?' and specify the email address associated with your .tel Dashboard account. A temporary password will be sent to that email address.
32) What email address will be on file with my .tel website account?
Your primary email address will be on file along with your username and password. You can change the email address when you log in to the .tel management dashboard.

Actor extraordinaire, Al Pacino's latest movie "You Don't Know Jack," in which he portrays Dr. Jack Kevorkian, is on HBO.
Its a movie I look forward to seeing. Whatever roles Pacino chooses to do, he imbues with life, a feeling of a very real person, not "Pacino the famous factor." He was amazing, powerful, unforgettable in "And Justice for all." and I loved him in "Dog Day Afternoon."
(I'm married to my favorite actor, John Cullum, but he doesn't object to my loving Al Pacino.)
Dr. Jack Kevorkian, (in case you don't know the name) is a famous man people called Dr. Death. He was convicted of 2nd degree murder, in prison for 8 years (of a 10 -15 year sentence). He'd helped people commit suicide -- 130 patients who proved with documents from their doctors, families, and friends, that they wanted to die because there was no future for them except continued pain.
A film Kevorkian last made of an actual suicide, the "machine" (bottles and timers that allowed the patient to control the sequence of injections that would stop his heart), was televised and seen by many people -- some wanting to watch someone die, some wondering if they could contact the doctor, others determined to put an end to Kevorkian's criminal, medical practice, and some, perhaps, who wanted to see what's forbidden, against the law, deemed wrong by their religion.
And then there were people who feel as I feel.
Here's what Kevorkian said last week, about the HBO film. I like this Doctor's unabashed, blunt, unpretentious manner. I hope, when my time to die comes, I can have a choice.
I want the right to evaluate all the factors -- pain, suffering -- and who is involved, what's involved in keeping me alive a little longer. I want to make the decision, get the help I will need if I decide it's time to end my life.

Picking the Perfect Lingerie for Your Special Day
1) Streamline
Obviously buying your dress was one of the first things you did, right? So now it's crucial to find lingerie that will sit perfectly and comfortably underneath your dream wedding dress. Invisibility is key, so choose something that is comfortable and streamline under your dress.
2) Have more than one option
Lots of women have more than one lingerie option for their big day, and it feels extra special to slip out of your dress after a long day and into your second set of beautiful undergarments. And why not?! It is your wedding day after all.
3) A one-piece or more...
Depending on your dress, you may want to consider a bodysuit or corset. If you have a super slinky, tight dress then a bodysuit may be your answer to avoid any panty lines.
4) Don't forget the Honeymoon
Your Honeymoon is an extension of your wedding, pop a silk or satin bridal robe in your suitcase to slip on when having a lazy breakfast on the balcony or to slip on when you're getting ready to go out.

While you may look to your landscaping and gardening areas as the only curb appeal that can enhance your home, but look again. The architectural details of your exterior home can greatly enhance your curb appeal as well. Whether you are trying to sell your home this season, or you just want to give your exterior home a 'makeover' – there are several tips to help. The architectural detailing of your outdoor home can be as easy as applying new paint, changing your door hardware, or installing new gutters! Here are some ideas to get you started to a new outdoor home.

Enhance details that are functional too:
Your exterior home has many functional details such as gutters, downspouts, shingles and roofing components, cladding and exterior materials. All of these components can also beautify your exterior. If you're looking for a way to add color to your exterior home look to copper gutters and downspouts that will age with a beautiful patina, a green weathered copper look. Consider replacing black asphalt shingles with colorful cedar shanks or a contrasting color to your exterior home. While the exterior of your home needs to work beautifully, you can also choose details that enhance its aesthetical curb appeal.

Don't underestimate beautiful outdoor lighting:
While you may not realize it, your outdoor curb appeal in the evening is just as important as daytime appeal. In fact nighttime curb appeal is also for safety of guests coming to and from your home, as well as security against intruders. Look to exterior landscaping lighting to illuminate walkways, stairs, driveway and your beautiful plants and shrubbery. On your physical home look to architectural lighting such as wall sconces that can shine up, down or 180 degrees from the wall. Carriage or coach lights placed at your front entry and pendant lighting hung from the ceiling of your entry points are all essential and can enhance your home.

Your outdoor home should be just as aesthetically pleasing as your interiors. From the colorful materials you use to the architectural details that are often forgotten, such as lighting. Enhance your entry points with simple embellishments: a new coat of paint to your front door will do wonders to perk up your outdoor home. Look to a new door hardware set, replacing address numbers, and even a new mailbox will bring new life to your exterior home. This season, give your outdoor home a makeover with these simple tips for enhancing your architectural details of your home.

It's not every day but every once in a while you might face an error like "you currently don't have permission to access this folder" while trying to open, modify, or delete a folder in Windows. If you click on the Continue button in the error window, Windows will show yet another error "You have been denied permission to access this folder".
Simply put, Windows doesn't allow you to access, modify, or delete the target folder. In other words, the folder restricted because you don't have sufficient permissions.
But, all is not lost. You can easily get access to restricted folders in Windows with just a few clicks. Here's how.
Jump to:
Why Do You Face Insufficient Permissions Error in the First Place?
Even though the error message is fairly obvious, you might be confused whey don't I have permission to modify or delete the folder on my system. There are several reasons for this kind of error. For instance, if the folder or file is created by the system administrator and if you are not a system administrator, you might get "You don't have permission to access this folder" error when trying to modify or delete. The same is applicable to system folders. Additionally, the same logic is applicable to user-specific folders. i.e, if the folder is created or owned by another user, you cannot modify or delete the said folder without administrative privileges or proper permissions.
The other reason might be that if you have multiple users on your system, the other user might've deliberately denied permission to your user account from accessing the folder.
For obvious reasons, some system folders and files cannot be deleted even if you have the administrative privileges. This is because, in addition to not having proper permissions, the ownership of those system files and folders are with the System, not any user. This helps protect important files and folders from being accidentally deleted or modified by unwanted programs, like viruses.
No matter the reason, if you are the system administrator, you can easily get access to the target folder by fixing you currently don't have permission to access this folder error by adding necessary permissions. Here's how.
The below method working in Windows 7 and 8 too.
Quick tip: you can now enable and disable security questions for user accounts in Windows 10
You Currently Don't Have Permission to Access This Folder
To fix this error, as I said earlier, you have to add proper permissions to the target folder. Once you have proper permissions, you can access the folder without any problems. You can add or modify permissions from the folder properties window. Just follow the steps and you will be able to fix the error pretty soon.
1. First, right-click on the problematic folder and select "Properties" option.
2. In the folder properties window, go to the "Security" tab. Click on the "Edit" button.
3. The above action will open another window. Here, see if there is a user named "Everyone" in the "Group or user names" section. If there is, ignore the next step and proceed to the step 5. If not, click on the "Add" button.
4. Now, type "everyone" in the "Enter the object names to select" and click on the "Check Names" button. This action will turn it into an actual user/object name. Click on the "Ok" button to continue.
5. In the Permissions window, select "Everyone" under Group or username section and select the "Allow" checkbox next to "Full control" under the permissions section. Click on the "Ok" button.
6. That is it. Now, every user on your system, including your user account has full control over the folder. So, you can modify or delete the folder depending on your need.
If you don't like giving everyone the full control permission, you can replace "everyone" in step 4 with your own Windows username. This makes sure that only your user account has full control over the folder.
Isn't that simple? With just a few clicks, you can take full control of any folder in the Windows and fix the error like "you currently don't have permission to access this folder".
Hope that helps. Comment below sharing your thoughts and experiences about using the above method to get access to a restricted folder in Windows 10.

And even more importantly, how do we create neighborhoods that help sustain life, both ours and the birds, bees, toads, butterflies, squirrels, insects, etc. that support the ecological underpinnings of life on our planet.
|a pollinator-friendly pocket meadow
How do we encourage more folks to become part of the process of re-knitting our urban and suburban landscapes with strong threads of native plants, pollinator and wildlife-friendly corridors made up of our personal home gardens? How do we encourage similar plantings in public and commercial landscapes?
I'm not really sure.
I've been involved with teaching about these things for my entire career, and I'm still not always sure about what works the best, aside from inspiring through story and example, encouragement, and sharing ideas and suggestions.
My basic level ideas simply start by encouraging folks to grow things, preferably native or edible, and learn more about them.

Experience the enchantment of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival
You're adventurous -- daring, even. So, after you've mastered stand-up paddle boarding or hiked Mt. Tallac, don't be afraid of adding a little culture to your Tahoe South visit, too. Grab a hotel room on the South Shore, drop your bags, and head up Hwy 50 along the beautiful eastern shoreline to Sand Harbor for one of South Lake Tahoe's most beloved summer traditions. Featuring gorgeous costumes, stunning sets, live music, and professional talent, the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival is one of South Lake Tahoe's most beloved summer traditions.
Locals and visitors alike have been celebrating our special twist on the traditional "Shakespeare in the Park" festival for 40 years. This summer, Charles Fee will return to direct William Shakespeare's doubly-delightful comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona with nightly performances (except Mondays) from July 13 to August 26.
One of the original rom-com's, Two Gents is sure to keep everyone entertained. Bosom buddies Valentine and Proteus are Verona's closest comrades, but their friendship is put to the test when Proteus abandons his beloved Julia and vies for the affections of Valentine's new love, the strong-willed Silvia. Chock-full of high comic scenes and rich, romantic language, Two Gents displays Shakespeare's comic powers at their hilarious height. Add in a live onstage band that infuses the show with an infectious folk/rock soundscape and one of the most talented professional acting companies in the West, and you have a recipe for a perfect Tahoe evening!

So Jeopardygirl tagged me for this....and I feel obliged to do it.....I am having an emotional day, so this is a good way to channel it, I think....
1. Go to www.popculturemadness.com
2. Pick the year you turned 18
3. Get yourself nostalgic over the songs of the year
4. Write something about how the songs affected you
5. Pass it on to 5 more friends
Well the year I turned 18, was 1995. A big year, actually. in 1995 I graduated High School, I started college. I fell in love, not for the first time, but it did happen....
Many of the songs here I can remember being in a particular place and dancing, or singing to them. Some examples?
Alright, #2 for 1995 was "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boys II Men....C'mon, everyone knows that song! And if you went to high school in the mid 90's, chances are you went to at LEAST ONE school dance or function where this was played. I know it was played at My Prom.....so I get to thinking about Prom, and the fun, the friendships, and I am beginning to feel an aching to go home and see the familiar places....this is not the place I want to be at emotionally right now....I'm already upset about Home.....so I will pick another song....
Ohh "Gansta's Paradise" by Coolio...not that is a kick ass song. It had a powerful message. And it was teamed up with a Movie.....a really good movie with Michelle Pfiffer. I remember the video and she was in it, sitting in a chair while Coolio rapped to and around her. Powerful. He's a good artist. And even though he doesn't sing a whole lot, he does have a good voice. I remember being moved by this song, and the movie, it made me realize how sheltered I really was in my upbringing. Not necessarily a bad or good thing, but I was open to more things after this song.
Looking down the list some more, I see a song that brings back such powerful memories, I am laughing and tears spring to my eyes. "One Hand In My Pocket" by Alanis Morrisette. It was a fun little song. but I remember quite clearly an incident with this song....My friends and I were driving to Daytona Beach to go clubbing (I went to college in St. Augustine, a mere 1 - 1 1/2 hours away), and there was an accident or something on I-95. Traffic was at a standstill for like an hour at least. this song came on, and my friend Drew started lip syncing. there is a line "I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other is giving a peace sign" well, he acted it out, so flamboyantly, like He was a vaudville actor or something. His facial expression, his movements wer so comical, My friends and I who were with him, were litterally rolling on I-95 laughing so hard, that we were crying. It was a small moment, but it stands out.
And so I will end this Meme on a happy note...there were a ton of other songs I could have written about, but at this moment, I won't...maybe another day.....
