I was out shopping today. Didn't find the beads we needed for your dress yet, but the beadstore had some dragonfly barettes. Some crystal aligator clips, the only decent color was clear with a little blue. They had nice bobby pins, with rounded ends. One each in emerald green, red, black and crystal. they were all about 2 for 10, or one for a little under $6. They were all on sale. I like the red and green one, but I don't like bobby pins as much. Another place had a smattering of dragonflies. Crystal clips that were about 10 a piece. Not an exceptionally good deal. Also, the bead store had those crystal stick in your hair gems. They said to get the adhesive back velcro, and use a holepunch to punch out a circle. then you stick the circle onto a autrian crystal rhinestone and voila, hair jewels. There rhinestones looked a little pricey. I figured you had some and we can get more when we get back. It seemed cool and simple. And I tried it, it does seem to stay in my hair. Also, they had the metal headbands. The combs had little loops on them. they were $6.50 each. Do you remember how much the headbands were in the store? They would be easy enough to decorate. They even had one sample that they built up a little higher than the head to look like a tiara. We could make one to match your ballgown if you thoughth it would stay in your hair. I bought some really awesome, somewhat expensive fluorite beads. Flat squares with green and purple gradations. Anyway, let me know if you are interested in any of these things. i can go back and get stuff if you like. It is a small bead store that is very close to Meilin and Sunspark's. -Susie --------------7CA85B47BD641AC346594D25-- From - Mon Aug 30 09:53:57 1999 Received: from mta4 ([127.0.0.1]) by mta4.mail.erols.net (InterMail v03.02.05 118 121 101) with SMTP id <19990828075832.URYI16348@mta4>; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 03:58:32 -0400 Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 03:51:52 -0400 Message-ID: <990828035152.27403.13699@mta4.mail.erols.net> X-Mailer: immsgmassmail 1.1.6.1 From: Erols Internet To: Subject: Weekend Announcements 08/27/1999 X-Mozilla-Status: 8001 THIS WEEK'S ANNOUNCEMENTS -- TIP OF THE WEEK - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE -- SITE(S) OF THE WEEK - STORAGE SITES You can always find our previous announcements by DATE here: http://www.erols.com/erols/news/index.html and by SUBJECT here: http://www.erols.com/erols/news/news_by_subject.htm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIP OF THE WEEK: ROUTINE MAINTENANCE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - These tips focus mainly on your Internet software and what you can do on the Web. However, some customers have asked us to talk about small, routine computer maintenance steps to avoid trouble and help your machine work faster. Some of you may be familiar with these steps, others may not be. For most users, these boil down to four procedures: 1) Scanning the hard disk for errors (ScanDisk). 2) Defragmenting (optimizing) the hard disk. 3) Clearing the cache. 4) Adding memory. (Not quite "routine." More about this shortly.) Before we begin, though, we should talk a bit about hard disks (and drives). Open your kitchen cabinet and look at a stack of plates. This will help you visualize roughly what the inside of a hard drive looks like. Imagine the plates as being small, flat, very thin, and made out of metal ("platters"). (That's why they are called "hard" drives. Floppy disks and diskettes are "soft," that is, made out of plastic-like material.) Let's go back a bit. Imagine the stack of platters as a pile of old 33rpm or Long Playing (LP) music records. Picture a hole in the middle for a spindle. See also dozens of concentric rings, grooves cut into the black vinyl. Call these tracks. In your mind's eye, look down on the rings of tracks, and cut them into eight or 10 wedge-shaped pieces like a pie. Call these sectors. Now we are quite close to the way a modern hard drive works. Just like an old record player, an arm ("read-write head") sweeps across the tracks and sectors of the platters in a hard drive. Obviously this "arm" is rather tiny to fit between the magnetized platters of a hard drive. Instead riding in grooves like the needle of a record player, the read-write head skims at high speed over invisible tracks without actually touching the platter. Data is written (and read) magnetically in "clusters" of "bytes" set down one after another wherever there is free space. Ideally, files of say, 500 kilobytes, will be laid down along one track in one or two sectors. The file's location is recorded elsewhere, in the File Allocation Table (FAT). Now we are ready to talk about what happens when things go wrong. 1) Scanning the hard disk (ScanDisk). As noted above, the "FAT" knows where the clusters are. Sometimes, however, clusters get "lost." This happens if you use your hard drive a lot, as in surfing the Internet. It might happen if you fail to shut down your computer properly, without waiting for the hard drive to finish "reading and writing." Clusters get lost when programs stop or "lock up" unexpectedly. A big file might be loading smoothly into your computer's memory when suddenly the drive can't find the clusters it needs or it runs into lost clusters because there is no record of where they should be or what they contain. A result is "corrupted" programs or files that won't load properly. This explains some (but not all) computer crashes. Other problems arise when a platter's surface is actually physically damaged. Perhaps the drive got banged around a bit as it was installed. Those little read-write arms could actually touch the smooth surface instead of gliding over it, damaging a bit of track and making it unable to record data. Both the Microsoft (Windows) and Macintosh operating systems have devised software "utilities" to find and fix these kinds of problems. Both skim the surface of hard disks looking for lost clusters and patchy spots. Microsoft's "Scandisk" utility offers the option of fixing problems automatically, or notifying you of each lost cluster and asking if you want to save it (in case it may have valuable data) or just delete it. The Macintosh "Disk First Aid" program fixes problems automatically. The first step in any routine maintenance program is to run these scan programs at least once a month or even more frequently. In Windows 3.1 you can run "Scandisk" by typing SCANDISK at the C:> prompt and pressing the Enter key. In Windows 95 and 98, you can run ScanDisk by selecting Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | ScanDisk. Choose the "Thorough" option. Although this takes as long as an hour to run, it will not only check for errors but will also skim the surface for physical defects. (In Windows 98, the "System Tools" menu offers a "Maintenance Wizard" which will run ScanDisk and other fixit programs on a regular schedule it recommends, or you choose.) Macintosh operating systems use a two-step process to fix problems. First, to run the Mac equivalent of Scandisk, open Hard Drive | Utilities | and double-click on "Disk First Aid." It will be able to find problems, but not fix them. If it does report problems: Second, put the system disk in the CD-ROM drive. In the Special menu, click on Restart. Hold down the "C" key. The Mac will boot from the CD. Eventually, the CD icon will appear in the top right corner of the screen, just above the Hard Drive symbol. Open the CD Icon, then open Utilities. Click on "Disk First Aid." It will repair problems as necessary. [In Mac OS's 8.5 and higher, Disk First Aid will run automatically if the system crashes.] Another Mac procedure that should be run on a monthly basis is "Rebuild Desktop." This restores a special file that keeps track of where things are on the hard drive, similar to the FAT in a Windows system. To start "Rebuild Desktop," go to Special | Restart. As the Mac reboots, hold down the option key and the Open Apple key (on either side of the space bar). As the desktop reappears but before the icons load, you will be asked if you want to "Rebuild Desktop?" Release the buttons and click "OK" to start the process. 2. Defragmenting (optimizing) the hard drive. Disk scanning programs find and re-label "lost" clusters, but they do not fix another problem that arises from heavy use of hard drives. This is "fragmentation." The second step in routine maintenance is running a defragmentation program at least once a month. We talked about the concentric rings (tracks) and sectors on a hard drive. A well-kept hard drive is like a well-kept garden. Ideally, new information is "written" onto free space on a track in a neat pattern, one track after another, one sector after another, like a bed of flowers in a garden or rows of corn. But hard drives tend to plant information in the first open cluster or two they find, thus creating "fragments" of information scattered all over the place. After a while, the garden looks like it is full of weeds. Those little arms, the read-write heads, have to skip all over, platter to platter, track to track, to pull together all the fragmented clusters that make up a program or file. This slows things down. A hard drive with 10 percent or more of the data fragmented will work noticeably more slowly than one that is at zero percent. Defragmenters or "optimizers" pull fragmented data back into contiguous tracks and sectors, or "optimum" order. These programs show you a screen with multiple rows and little boxes in different colors, each symbolizing a cluster. It's mildly entertaining to watch a defragmenter pull together scattered clusters and clean up the garden. The various Microsoft Windows versions have a built-in "Disk Defragmenter" and they all work basically the same way. Mac OS's do not; more about that shortly. In Windows 3.1, run the defragmenter by typing DEFRAG at the C:> prompt and pressing the Enter key. DEFRAG will ask you to select a drive to defragment, usually the C: drive. It will then say what percentage of the disk is fragmented, and will recommend whether to optimize. Select Configure and the Optimize menu will appear. It may say "100% of drive X is not fragmented. No optimization necessary." If optimization is suggested, select Optimization method. A window will pop up. Select Full optimization. This will rearrange the data on the entire drive, putting full clusters first, then empty clusters. This method takes longer, (up to an hour or more on a badly fragmented drive) but arranges the empty space cleanly and makes the hard disk work faster. Selecting "unfragment files only" puts elements of fragmented files next to each other but does not rearrange the whole drive for optimum operation. In Windows 95 and 98, you can run Disk Defragmenter by selecting Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Defragmenter. The program offers essentially the same choices as DEFRAG for Windows 3.1 described above. Choose Full Optimization for best performance. Macintosh operating systems do not have a built-in disk optimizer, but you can buy good ones that will do the same thing. Some examples are Symantec's Norton Utilities (the optimizer is called "Speed Disk") and Tech Tools Pro. 3. Clearing the cache. A cache is a place to hide stuff. In a computer, the cache is the place on the hard drive that stores files from sites that you visit on the Web. (You may not be aware this is happening.) In a Tip of the Week earlier this year-11 June 1999-we wrote at length why it may worthwhile to "clear" the cache and how to do it. Please click here to go to the Weekend Announcement with that Tip: http://www.erols.com/erols/news/0699/06-11-99.html 4. Adding memory. This section is intended mainly for owners of 486DX computers or early Pentium I machines that may have come from the factory with only 16 or 32 megabytes (MB) of memory. Adding memory is not "routine" maintenance in the sense of a software program you can run to improve performance. However, if you are unhappy with how slowly your machine behaves while surfing the Internet it IS routine to add memory. Because the price of RAM (Random Access Memory) has dropped so sharply, it is also the quickest and cheapest shortcut you can take to significantly improve your computer's performance. Think of "memory" as a dark cave where a program hides out while running on your computer. If the cave is large, the entire program is able to rush instantly from there to your "processor" chip. If the cave is small, the program fills every nook and cranny, and whatever doesn't fit has to live on the hard drive and be loaded each time it is needed. This slows things down. Nowadays, the programs you use to browse the Net take up a lot of memory and so does the content of Web sites you visit. It is much better to have a big, huge cave of memory. Memory comes in multiples of four: 4 megabytes, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB and so on. In older computers, the memory comes in blocks of chips called SIMMs (Single In- Line Memory Modules). If you have only 16MB of memory, you can buy 16 more for $30 to $50, depending on the manufacturer, and 32MB for $60 to $80. A total of 64MB should be enough for most users, but the more, the better. Memory is relatively easy to install, but if you are uncomfortable opening up your computer, have it done at the store. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SITE(S) OF THE WEEK - STORAGE SITES - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This week we are noting a relatively new development on the Internet: sites where you can store your files. The idea is to upload your large files to a safe spot on the Net where you can access them from anywhere in the world, swap them with someone else, or just save space on your hard drive. If you have ever been unable to receive an e-mail attachment or left a file at the office, this solution may come in handy. You can ask a person sending you a file too big to travel as an e-mail attachment to upload it to a site where you can get at it. http://www.swapdrive.com/ The site says this about itself: "SwapDrive.com represents a new generation of online file management and collaboration. Now, you have a whole new way of sharing files and making important items to find no matter where you are or which computer you are using. "With SwapDrive.com you can use your browser to quickly and easily transfer files from any computer into your private folder on our Web site. Best of all, the service is FREE!" http://www.xdrive.com/ This site offers 25 megabytes of free storage space. The service is intended mainly for users with high-speed Internet access, so people with 56K modems might find it a little slow, especially with large files. Unlike previous storage services on the Web, "Xdrive" offers a special application that creates a "hard drive" desktop icon to represent the virtual drive. You can save documents directly to the drive, or drag and drop them to it. If you outgrow the free space, you can buy 25MB more for $4.99 per month. http://www.freedrive.com/ The site describes itself thusly: "Here at FreeDrive you can upload, store, retrieve, and share 20 Megabytes of any type of data for FREE -- Documents, Spreadsheets, Zip Files, Databases, Image Files, MP3's -- whether it's for school, work, personal use, or just for fun. What's the catch? Well, in exchange for the 20MB of storage we ask just two things: 1- that you put up with one banner ad per page. 2- that you receive just one - no more...no less - promotional email per week from us that contains a message from one of our sponsors (we protect your privacy and NEVER give out your email, or any information, to anyone!)." =========================================================================== (PLEASE NOTE: We have an address to contact "Weekend Announcements." suggestions@rcn.com Please use it to give us your ideas about what might go into the "Announcements."

Set up trade relations with other nations and use your diplomatic skills to define the borders of your countries! Discover sciences previously unknown, survive calamaties that would bring other less noble civilizations to their knees, and win true honor by being the first civilization to progress to greatness! When: Sunday, at 3 PM (we may have a rules seminar early for new players) Where: 223 Renfrew St in Arlington (let me know if you need directions) Why: Break in my new copy of the game! RSVP: Soon, to reserve a place (up to 8 players can play) Never heard of it? Advanced Civilization is a board game (unrelated to Sid Meier's computer games) that is really, really fun. (If you like countries and warefare and that sort of thing.) It tends to be a rather long game -- on the order of "most of a day" rather than "just a couple hours." You win by advancing science, which you do by collecting and trading trade goods (hence the name). You get trade goods by building cities, which you do by growing and maintaining your population. There is some warfare of the non-random variety (no dice rolls), and a lot of player-player interaction surrounding the trade goods, which sometimes turn out to be calamities like "flood" or "pirates" or "epidemic." Aren't you due soon? Yes. If Mr. Baby decides to come before the weekend, the game is probably cancelled. We'll let you know. =rachel emily= From - Wed Sep 01 13:35:49 1999 Received: from mx02.erols.com ([207.172.3.242]) by mta2.mail.erols.net (InterMail v03.02.07.03 118-128) with ESMTP id <19990901195020.ZYIR5795@mx02.erols.com> for ; Wed, 1 Sep 1999 15:50:20 -0400 Received: from hawk.prod.itd.earthlink.net (hawk.prod.itd.earthlink.net [207.217.120.22]) by mx02.erols.com (8.8.8-970530/MX-980323-gjp) with ESMTP id PAA21601 for ; Wed, 1 Sep 1999 15:50:17 -0400 (EDT) Received: from rcn.com (1Cust87.tnt30.sfo3.da.uu.net [208.255.83.87]) by hawk.prod.itd.earthlink.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA11255; Wed, 1 Sep 1999 12:50:01 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <37CD82E9.C00540D5@rcn.com> Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 12:47:53 -0700 From: Susie X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: hfox@alum.mit.edu Subject: Keys Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mozilla-Status: 8001 Do you guys still have a key to our place?

Beady News! X-Mozilla-Status: 8001 Changes to whimbeads.com - http://www.whimbeads.com/index.html Hi everyone! Well, the kids are back in school! Yipee! For me this means I can actually get some work done, which is what I did today. On the website there is the new contest for September. Ok so it is kinda goofy...but I am in one of those moods. Good Luck! Also, the winner has been announced for August's contest, along with all the answers to the clues. Plus, I put up a new free pattern. This month is a loom bracelet (or you can adapt it to be whatever you want). I would love to see one beaded...hint, hint. And, there are also several new colors of size 11 Japanese seed beads finally up on the site. They are broken into two pages, one is an assortment of finishes and the other page has all the new Silverlined Matte AB's....ewww yum! In addition there is a page with some new Japanese size 8 beads, with a few colors to match the new 11's. I hope you enjoy! I am following your requests and working hard on getting the Czech glass beads up on the site...but please be patient...boy what a job that is turning out to be! You will probably hear from me again in the next week or so. I have some new size 15's and somemore new 11's that I am trying to put up also. I'll let you know as soon as they are done! Here is the address to the What's New page where you can find the links to all the new stuff: http://www.whimbeads.com/whatsnew.html Beki...who is enjoying the peace and quiet in my house! www.whimbeads.com ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to whimbeads-unsubscribe@listbot.com MSN Messenger Service lets you stay in touch instantly with your family & friends - Visit http://messenger.msn.com From - Sat Sep 04 11:19:08 1999 Received: from mx06.erols.com ([207.172.3.248]) by mta4.mail.erols.net (InterMail v03.02.05 118 121 101) with ESMTP id <19990904164606.COQR16348@mx06.erols.com> for ; Sat, 4 Sep 1999 12:46:06 -0400 Received: from snipe.prod.itd.earthlink.net (snipe.prod.itd.earthlink.net [207.217.120.62]) by mx06.erols.com (8.8.8-970530/MX-980323-gjp) with ESMTP id MAA24292 for ; Sat, 4 Sep 1999 12:46:05 -0400 (EDT) Received: from rcn.com (1Cust37.tnt31.sfo3.da.uu.net [208.255.86.37]) by snipe.prod.itd.earthlink.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA17469; Sat, 4 Sep 1999 09:45:59 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <37D14C28.255B98AC@rcn.com> Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 09:43:20 -0700 From: Susie X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Henry, Rachel" Subject: Re: advanced civ game!!
