Zix I have office xp pro which has powerpoint on it, in fact I've been playing with it and it looks fairly simple (keeping fingers crossed).

Another project I am moving forward on is a psa for local grown sustainable products entitled the face behind the food, to emphasis the relationship between our growers and the land as well as the integrity with which they grow it.

I looked on freedownload for an editing tool and found one from ulead which looked useful but then I called the college media dept who told me they could produce it for @ $500 if we provided the people and script. Alice our director is working on the script and we may get to film this at the conference here next year (ya gonna make it if it is?) ((LOTS of hippy chicks)) ((ok middle aged hippie chicks going through menopause but hippie chicks none the less))

:D-->

Door to door

Malls

More door to door

More malls

but see the thing was none brought in new people

yet we kept doing it

over and over and over again...

talk about denial

One twig I knew of ran 2 pfals and one int class without using door to door or mall witnessing but then it relied heavily upon folks estblished for years in the community, something thewayofsilliness blew off years ago.

Not if he *believes* hard enuf

My next observation is fairly obvious, aren't all these wonderful articles, that just ooze of the goodness love and single heartedness of the directors (what an Orwellian title, director)...leading in one and only one direction, signing up more people for the class?

It's a rehash of the same drivel over and over again, believe gawd, committ to running more classes and give give give so we can run a class class class...

It would be one thing if what twi offered was interesting or even entertaining (tee vee preachers are that at least) or showed tangable results other than pins in a map showing where all the classes are running, but alas no laying on of hands, no committed elders praying for healing, and as a result no healing and more importantly, no message to the world, sad really but when you innies read this (if you do) consider that last true healing you saw and ask yourself, if you are truly Gods chosen household then why are not more healings both spiritual and physical happening and if in fact they are then why are not hundreds if not thousands of people flocking to fellowships door for their own blessings from the household and it's directors...

I noticed the committed wc trainee's weren't writing letters home to the folks nor going for walkabouts or the movies or playing basketball at the Y nor in any way shape or form fitting in in any concievable form or fashion with the society they are trying to help out of the wilderness and into an already overflowing chuckwagon...which begs to question what the hell is this guy doing living in a chuckwagon?

Oh wait I forgot this is the committed waycorperson, living on a needs basis...

It depends on whether I'm bored or not.

A dear friend once asked me what I thought should happen to twi, I replied it should be shut down forever. Since then I have toyed with the idea of what twi could do to attract me back and sadly I still cannot come up with anything, except to place me in charge of the liquidation process which me thinks is highly unlikely :P-->

I think that there are a few vp die hards willing to overlook past mistakes and come back not to mention those that long for the *good old days*that cost so many so much. I suppose the truly needy/codependants would too seeings how we all wanted to go around blessing each other all the time...

But see I don't fall into any of those catagories, I guess I woke up n smelled the poopoopoo heyyyyaaa....

You'd be surprised just how easy it is these days to make movies, why even a couple of kids with a well under under million dollar camera can start a *cult classic*.

how funny that would be wouldn't it

Well for what its worth I think it's a dumb idea

;)-->

I think the simplicity of a roast event makes the whole deal easy on everybody except for the food coordinator, a job Cathy has handled with great grace and good humor. Outside of locating a park that had camping, we simply expected people to be adults and to think through their weekend needs.

Now a thought just came to mind, were you speaking of a fellowship (bible) gathering or a general gathering of g'spotters which would include athiests new agers and other assorted folks?

Well I cracked the case and installed the new drive, everything looked fine until I booted up (with the maxtor floppy and cd in drive) we formatted the drive (984000mb or sumthing) and then it told me to insert my boot disk which I did. It messed around a little and then told me because I am using a millenium program (I thought it was xp...) I could only use my drive for saving data and if I wanted to do otherwise to run a microsoft program which I unfortunately fergot to write down so I put the old drive back in and am writing this even as we speak. Umm whatferis this disk I am supposed to run? Can I get it from my computer? I have like 4 xp disks which I guess I'm supposed to run after I get this current problem solved. sigh...

Did I already tell you many thanks?

Where did eveyone go?

My whole world went blank~!

:eek

kidding...

OK as a standard presearch thing there are LOTS of files on my left, with lots of subkeys. After clicking on a particular files on the LEFT (or running say a btdownload search) a series of keys appears on my RIGHT which were they keys I deleted. Now I also went through and removed a few suspicious keys on the left (ones that were shaded blue when I ran the search thing and matched numerically wize with what my other programs were telling me were the key numbers I was looking for)

so far everything still works tho I've not tried everything

Hey when I run regedit the results come up on the right and those are the troublesome files right? which then can be deleted right?

ROFLMAO!!

I already did

see sometimes I just get impatient...

anyways so far everything looks fine I do get an error message saying that it couldn't find the hijacked startpage file and then goes on to open up in about.blank.

Basicly I deleted the files which were highlighted on the left once the search was completed, so far nothing seems amiss but I've not turned this thing off yet so we shall see.

BTW I may get a wild hair to replace my drive (read replace as in NOT reusing the old drive in any form or fashion, even to save files to). I can replace the drive quite easily (I can see what pins are covered on the old one) but I'm wondering if there are any tricks to installing or configuring the new drive? It's a maxtor 80 gig 7200 rpm can I simply insert the xp disk or do I need to format something first?

OK :)-->

when I do that search thing it highlights a file and when I left click it gives me the option to delete it and all it's subkeys.

I am assuming since my machine didn't implode that mashing delete was what I wuz supposed to do.

Hopefully...

thanks guys but this is not working.

I have no problem reformatting my puter should I mess up in the registry.

So...

I wanna take a look around my registy, how do I get there and what buttons do I need to stay away from?

The registry is a list of running programs right?

Could this malware clone itself into other programs and hide?

How bout a fresh install? does that eliminate these things?

Nope it's still there :(-->

ok I came up with two files and deleted both of them should this take care of it?

who or what is flipside?

why are they being such a nuisance?

can I fack with them somehow to get back at their callous disregard for my personal sanctity?

ok on downloaded program files I have:

BT download ctrl

housecallcontrol

rdxieclass

and

wonweblaunch

Adaware sez...

Hkey_current_user:soft

Possible browser hijack attempt

data miner

regdata

-

softwaremicrosoftinternetexplorermain "start"

risk level: med

I check it and it dissapears

but if I run the program again (adaware) it comes back, scary huh!

Much thanks :)-->

Okley Dokley boys and girls

I have used adaware housecall norton and spybot

not to mention searching for and removing 3 active x programs from the search results page

all to no avail

adaware sez I have it and tells me it's gone but it's still there

norton tells me my puter is still infected (and apparantly they can do nothing about it) and spybot seems unable to tie it's own shoe laces properly.

sigh

so I suppose I need to enter the forbidden city of registry keys and poke around

any suggestions?

I have no fear for if I screw up I'll mash ctrl alt del and repeat there's no place like home until it fixes itself

I used to hide easter eggs does that count?

Sure thing Shaz :)-->

We used guinea's on the golf course for years and never had a problem with ticks. I noticed that they liked to wander though, often up to a mile away. We had 5 hens, Buddy the local pharmacist had a flock as well but once his flock found out about ours they moved over here. I also noticed they prefered the short grass of the course as opposed to the taller thicker stands of grass and weeds so their effectiveness is limited by their quirkiness.

I've recently found out that fire ants will eat the hell out of the pesky buggers so you might want to leave the ants alone if they aren't encroaching on yer living space. Pets (at least the bright ones) avoid their beds so it's mostly us humans that have to be careful

:)-->

WB you must stay grounded in the present truth, now say five hail rosies n one our harve

:D-->

Funny you should start this thread Shaz, I've been doing some research on ticks, boy are they not something to fool around with! Some suggestions that I found for dealing with ticks were:

Spraying with Neem Oil (strong odor but it goes away after a few days)

Throwing bird seed in infested areas to attract more wild birds

Raising Guinea Hens

Building a gravel or woodchip border/buffer zone between the woods and habitable areas

Tick repellant Spray:

2 sprigs lavender

20 eucalyptus leaves

1 quart water

Boil mixture. Use as a spray repellent

And then of course there is the clove of garlic a day solution which while not proven to prevent sticky-tickys does make yer body less appealing to a variety of critters including but not limited to bod members vampires and other assorted blood suckers :D-->

Cathy always was in charge, dontcha know?
