We just finished digging the foundation of our house out, put weeping 
tile on the outside, Blueskinned the walls, glued R10 Celfort on and 
backfilled it with a mix of sand/gravel and topped it with yellow clay.
To add to the fun, we jack hammered out the perimeter of the basement 
floor and put new weeping tile in.
Last Tuesday, we did the second concrete pour and now have 1450 square 
feet of beautiful exposed aggregate concrete driveway and patio.
I built a new back landing on Saturday, and now am moving on to new 
fences between us and the neighbours on both sides.

I'd have rather just built a new shed...

Looking at the site it seems that the film isn't really ready for prime 
time, but they're attempting to make a virtue out of it's limitations.  
Personally I'd have been happier if they were releasing an experimental 
peal apart film.  The joy of SX-70 photography was it's existential 
completeness.  The cameras were beautiful, the process so automatic that 
you could just concentrate on producing the image.  this seems just too 
messy.  But you know they probably really need to show that they can 
sell a product, or their funding will simply dry up.

what about MEmeo?  which I used with the free trial to back up my C 
drive to the TB  --


Boris and Rob, I'm not going to work on the 500, I'm going to work on 
the TB..

The files on it were all transfered to the bigger drive...

WHen I get a little money (not immediately)  I'll get another external 
and abandon the 500  

The mess /crash followed closely on my possibly precipitating it by 
hitting some key accidentally in PEntax lab that set it
to replicating all the files in the folder I created on... um.. whatever 
last saturday was.  


My response to that was hasty ...control/alt/delete  maybe...

but maybe coincidence..

My guess is that it was less then a coincidence, it was probably the
reason given that it was just a trashed file allocation table.
Personally I would hold on to it even if you just use it for tertiary
back-up, I would run the Seagate software that I provided the link for
to prove that the hardware is OK then reformat the drive.

Great to hear Ann, and in addition to Boris's comment you might
consider downloading SeaTools
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools , it
contains diagnostic tests to help to determine the condition of your

People need to label things for understanding and identification.

Well, giving things names is meant in order to make communication

even small, group of people is calling it B, it is asking for 
miscommunication.

and, of course, it could get a lot worse. If the pig flu virus recombines
with the bird flu virus we could end up with flying pig flu.



Here in Cincinnati, OH there is a Flying Pig Marathon, which passes right by 
my front door. The event is tomorrow morning. Since this is the first one I 
have been here for I have no idea what to expect. Guess I'll keep the K20 
handy and see what transpires.

Is it officially a pandemic yet? I'd agree to epidemic off-hand, for
sure, but it seems a bit difficult to see the true picture through the
media noise. :-(

Anyway, last I heard on the news is that mortality seems way much
higher in Mexico than outside the country, which puzzles the
scientists.

But what's a good doomsday, Pentax related or not, if we can't joke about it?

Truth in jest. One of the reasons why pork features so much in Spanish
cooking is that before the reconquista and the expulsion of the Muslims and
the Jews, eating pork was a way of emphasising your Christianity. Under the
Inquisition it was a sign of loyalty to the church.

My problem with those little bottles of hand sanitizer is that it only
kills 99.9% of germs.

The manufacturers tout this as a feature (they proclaim it right on
the bottles), but I see it as a liability.

Because that 0.1% of germs that survive to reproduce will logically be
the strongest most horrible versions of the germ.

It's natural selection speeded up many times. We destroy the weakest
strains of the germ, and leave the strongest to continue spreading.

And meanwhile our bodies never develop any kind of natural immunity.

Nope.

Generally, they'll be the germs that got the least amount of exposure to
the alcohol.  It says nothing about how virulent they are.  Generally
you *want* to make the selection about surviving nasty chemicals rather
than being an efficient parasite of humans.  The bug that learnt how to
metabolize chlorine bleach is scary to think about, but it now *needs*
chlorine bleach, and there is (I hope!) none inside you.

 It's natural selection speeded up many times. We destroy the weakest
 strains of the germ, and leave the strongest to continue spreading.

A billion years of yeast hasn't found one that can cope with more than
about 25% ethanol.  I'm not worried we're going to produce something
that can shrug alcohol (or put all the distillers out of work by making
90 proof wine) and what you're really doing by washing your hands is
reducing the odds of systemic infection.

 And meanwhile our bodies never develop any kind of natural immunity.

Sure they do.  It just doesn't get overwhelmed.

All killing 99.9% of the germs on your hands does is multiply the
default risk of systemic infection by 0.01 (because it's really going to
be 99% unless you're emulating the lab conditions of the test; mind you
got all of both thumbs...); if that risk is a chance of 0.1 out of 1 per
exposure (one handshake, one nearby sneeze, etc.) it becomes 0.001.

If you're exposed 10 times at the 0.1 chance that's (0.9)^10 = 0.35 that
you *won't* get it.  (Which is two chances in three that you _will_.)

If you're exposed 10 times at the 0.001 chance that's (0.999)^10 = 0.99
that you *won't* get it.  (One chance in a hundred that you _will_.)

Since people constantly touch their faces and get what's on their hands
into the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth) that way, this is very
much worth doing with respect to contagious diseases.

Alcohol sanitizers are preferred for cases where there's no obvious
soiling; it's easier on your skin and works just as well.  Mind you get
both thumbs.

Soaps with anti-bacterial ingredients do nothing to stop viruses.  
Since most use a small trace of alcohol and many bacteria thrive on  
traces of alcohol, they aren't particularly effective against bacteria  
either.


This told to me by my doctor at the height of the flu season last  
December. He suggested just keeping your hands clean did as well, and  
wearing a mask to help not spread any viruses to other people. Plain  
old Ivory soap and warm water do just as well as all these fancy soaps.
