The aim of
this BLOG is to give an insight into how I decided to set up and look
after a Spiderling. The species I went for was the Mexican
|Spiderlings have arrived. They came today in a little cardboard box. Got delivered to the office and, no I didn't tell anyone they were coming.
|The Spiderlings were
well packed inside the carboard box with Styrofoam and kept safe within
a couple of 35mm camera cartridges stuffed
with tissue (you can see the tissue and the case in the next couple of shots).
|Although many people use all sorts of pre-made houses for their
Spiderlings - I found a couple of years ago that Ferrero Rocher boxes
are an ideal cheap substitute. Not only are they just the right size, but it also means that one can purchase some choccies,
pig out on them and have an excuse. I actually used the choccies as a 'thank you" to the girls in the office downstairs who had looked
after my parcel for me (though they were unaware at the time of the contents)...
|The base of the box is covered in (at the most) an inch of
vermiculite. This is a 'mica' based mineral available in many garden
I purchased mine at B&Q for 4 pounds UK. You get a very big bag for that price (at the very least 5 litres). Many spiders like to burrow and
make a little nest. Vermiculite is ideal for this. I have heard that sand is not meant to be used, though peat and vermiculite is a good idea.
This will all depend on where your spider is indigenous.
|I then popped the camera cartridge into the box, teased off the lid,
and gently pulled out the tissue. The Spiderling was happily sitting on
the tissue paper. I did all this in the one place I know spiders have a problem escaping from - the bath (I made sure it was dry and the
plug was in the hole)!
|The Spiderling stayed in the tissue for quite some time - not until night fall did he start to explore his habitat and wander about the box.
|The vermiculite has had a small amount of water added to it. You
must keep the environment at about 50 to 60 percent humidity for the
Spiderling to survive. It must also be kept warm. At the moment my Spiderling lives on the top of my fridge in my kitchen - this spot is
nice and warm as the fridge is on all the time and cooking makes the room warm too. In the winter I will purchase a heat mat.
|Today was meant to be feeding day... After much exercise, I thought
my spider would like some baby crickets. Alas, it appears not to
be overly hungry and runs away. No doubt after a few days it will become annoyed and hunger will over reach fear! : )
|It's getting well into the evening now and he still hasn't eaten his
meal! Infact he's decided to have a wander into the camera cartridge for
quick a sleep. No doubt later on he'll be doing more wandering about and exploring!
|Spider was very daring last night - he's been doing a lot of
wandering about. The active little fella. Literally climbing the walls.
There was
no sign of any crickets this morning so I'm not too sure if he has been munching or not. They tend to hide in the vermiculite anyway so I
will have to check the housing for any other signs of life later in the day.
|You can just make out the Spiderling sitting on the vermiculite
under the tissue in the picture above left. Above right is what he is
to be eating. Small black crickets are an inexpensive food source - though this spiderling hasn't eaten any of them yet.
|Spiderling has been very active over the weekend. As yet still to
eat anything so I have given him some smaller crickets. Accidentally
held the little guy when I was taking the tissue out. Didn't seem too fussed about being held.
|Top two images are that of the Mexican Red Knee spiderling in his
tank. The lower two images are of a common house spider
known as a 'Mouse Spider' (due to the smooth fur on its abdomen). The scotophaeus blackwalli is quite an agressive creature
as a general rule, but this one was docile. I let it go after a few hours and several photos.
|I've now moved the Ferrero Rocher box to the lounge as I've got a
wine heating mat which I have placed unded the box. This
seems to be a far more effective way of heating the spids envorinment and I'm hoping it will make it more likely to start to eat.
The box has got a lot of condensation on it, but the humidity is meant to be high.
|Spiderling is spending a great deal of time sitting on camera
cartridge or 'sticking' to the side of his tank. Still not eating to my
knowledge so I contacted North West Exotic Pets for some advice using their forum. Tim suggested that it might be because
he is due to shed his skin soon. Of course!! Spiders I've had in the past have shed their skin - but they were considerably
bigger and ate loads beforehand. Fingers crossed this is the reason, and I'm looking forward to blogging about it.
|Decided to feed spiderling some more crickets. The only problem is
I'm not too sure if he is eating them or they are just
burrowing down into the vermiculite and having a sleep. Spiderling is sitting behind his camera cartridge quite a lot and
hasn't ventured out of there much for some reason. He hasn't even been inside the black camera cartridge as I expected.
|Wondered what crickets ate too over the weekend. Popped some green
plant in there (brocolli) and a piece of sauage.
They had a nibble of the plant and they totally ate all the sausage. Not too sure what it proves, but if you ever have a black
cricket stay I'd feed them bacon, sausage and eggs for brekkie.
|Spiderling has been rather active as of late. Lots of digging by the
back of his camera cartridge. I've made sure the box has
been kept moist too.
|He has also changed colour slightly - gone a lighter shade of brown.
I believe this may have something to do with the
shedding process.
|Spiderling has shed his skin!!!! I spotted it in the tank and
thought - hmm two spids... Haven't taken it out yet - he seems
to be looking after it for some reason. I've also raised the tank a little off the heat pad using some more corrigated cardboard.
I was concerned that the vermiculite was too hot for him as he had been spending loads of time stuck to the side of his
camera cartridge.
|Spiderling has been quite active and looks 'happy' enough. I have
still yet to remove the skin from the tank as he's been
quite close to it and I'm not fond of being bitten by a hungry spiderling. It also appears that he has been spinning some
more web. I only noticed this this morning as the water had condensed on it. I'll need to get additional crickets to feed him
as I've run out!
|I've taken some images of spiderling on top of his camera cartridge.
This appears to be his favourite spec - which has led
me to believe that heating the tank through the floor is not ideal. I've been advised to place the heat pad behind the tank.
This would make sense as many insects and spiders use their legs to feel their way around or even hear (and are therefore
very sensitive to heat). Planning on feeding spiderling on the weekend. Will post how it goes.
|Spider has been fairly active today. At lunch he was doing something
which looked busy. Possibly spinning a web behind
the camera cartridge. I popped a cricket in the tank but when I left it was still exploring the wrong side and was well away
from the spider.
|I decided a couple of days ago to test out the theory that the
spiderling does not like the heat on the heat pad (as it had
been climbling on top of the camera cartridge). I moved his tank so that half of it was on the heat pad and the other half
was not. I added another camera cartridge to the side of the tank which was heated. The spid almost immediatly migrated
to the warmer area, but this time has not climbed on to the camera cartidge. Although not a perfect experiment, it does go
to show that the animal has a strong tendency for the warmer area.
|Above are images of spiderlings shed skin. It is extremely delicate
and approx 7mm in length (as is). I fed spiderling this
morning with a new batch of crickets I had aquired yesterday. At first, the spid jumped out the way and I thought I was
going to be in the same position I was last time with a non eating spid. Spid however proved me wrong again and made
a pounce for the cricket, missed, had another go and then missed again. I guess it takes a bit of practice to hunt food with
your eyes on the top of your head and your mouth underneath you. At first I thought he was going to jump out - I've never
seen him so active! The cricket disapeared into the camera cartridge and the spid hid waiting outside. I got bored and
added another cricket - this time spid didn't miss and the cricket was made short work of. For the first time (I have seen
anyway) the spider went into the darkness of the camera cartridge to eat his meal.
|Spiderling has spent the weekend wandering about the tank. He's been
quite active since eating and has made a burrow
under one of the camera cartridges. Doesn't seem to use it all that much and preferes to hide in the camera cartridge and
peek out. I'm not too sure why he has only recently started to do this - whether it just took a while for him to work out, or if
the moulting process meant that he didn't have a great affinity for enclosed spaces. On Sunday morning he was happily
sitting on the vermiculite cleaning his fangs. I'll try and feed him again this week and keep the blog updated with how
that goes.
|Like never before has spid been excavating in his tank. The pictures
below show extensive vermiculite movement from
under and around the camera cartridge. The spiderling would pick up a piece/s of vermiculite with it's jaws and fangs
(chelicera) - being assisted by its pedipalps (the little front 'legs'). It would then move the vermiculite away from the
camera cartridge, place it on the floor and pat it down with it's front legs and go back again to move some more. The
spider didn't mind being watched and after a while it wandered into the camera cartridge for a rest. As you see from the
second image - the spiderling removed almost all of the vermiculite from under cartridge.
|Tried to feed the spiderling again today, but he wasn't having any
of it. The spiderling moved away from the cricket. Note
the spiderlings leg. It appears to be okay, but does look at an awkward angle.
|Spiderling has spent the night digging another nest as the last one
had collapsed. The nest is still situated around the
camera cartridge but is a lot shallower. As far as I can tell, he hasn't eaten the crickets I put in his tank. I will feed him
next week at some point. Considering maybe getting another spider in the near future - but don't know whether I should
go for the same species or another one.
|Spiderlings digging has continued without stop for the last couple
of days. He has now reached the bottom of the tank
and sits in a mini ampetheatre of vermiculite surveying his handywork. I decided to try and feed him last night. At first he
ran away and hid (I think it's something to do with the vibrations of removing the lid). He then made a half attempt at
getting the cricket but left it alone. The cricket then burrowed into the vermiculite out of site. I added another cricket. This
time the spid just seem to stop and bide his time. The cricket moved, the spider followed. The cricket moved again and
the spider followed. This went on for ten minutes and I got bored. Coming back an hour later the spid seemed to be up
to something. On closer inspection he had a cricket in his mouth and was happily chewing away.
I am considering getting some more spids, but I also think that maybe
Albert could do with a tank with more burrowing
|Spid not very active after massive evacuation of vermiculite and
eatings of the past week or two. He's mainly sitting and
guarding his camera cartridge and nest.
|Spid hasn't eaten anything for a little while and has not been up to
a lot. I checked him this morning and he's gone
white! This happened the last time he shed his skin so I'm assuming he's going to shed within the next couple of
days. He's a lot bigger than he was when I got him in May. Will certainly need to start thinking about getting a new
house for him soon at this rate.
Spiderling has shed skin again! Checked him at lunch time and skin was
in tank. He is all white and soft and looks
|Spiderling looks larger than he was and is a lot more hairy. I think
he'll need feeding fairly soon so have ordered some
more crickets. He has started to get a little bit more colour in him now.
|The pet shop still didn't have any pin head crickets in today. Been
waiting about a week for them and figured spider was
going to be very hungry. Last thing I wanted is for it to die because of under feeding. Decided to try out some medium
sized silent crickets (wasn't aware that there were such things) and see if he'd take one - they are considerably bigger
than the previous live food. Popped one in the tank and it scurried off somewhere and hid. Was running out of time as
on lunch and popped a slightly bigger on it. It had hardly touched the vermiculite and the spider was on it. Not only is
the spider a lot bigger, it seems to have increased in speed and ferocity - though this could well be because it is
hungry. As usual, after catching the cricket, it waited for a little while and then wandered off into the cooler camera
cartidge to eat it's snack.
|Spider has finished the cricket and is in the middle of it's tank
not doing a lot. I suppose that now it's eaten it is not as
eager to hunt for food as it was before.
|Spider ate again! He's very hungry. The cricket didn't have a chance.
|Have taken some images of the new silent crickets I have been
feeding spider. They are considerably bigger than
the previous black cricktes at about 5mm to 1cm in length. They are very curious creatures and explore their habitat
extensively - almost always keeping on the move and using their antennae to smell their surroundings. The shredded
paper allows the crickets to hide. At the bottom of their habitat I have place some vermiculite and also a layer of paper
egg box shapes which they seem to favour to hide in. The crickets appear to be omnivores and consume anything
from each other to the paper on which they are living. I have given them various food stuffs, all of which are eaten
though they seem to enjoy semolina and carrots. As yet, not tried giving them any meat but will probably do this in
due course to see their reaction. It would be ideal if I could breed them in their current enclosure as this would provide
me with a free food source for the spider.
|Decided to try and feed spid again last night (19th). The cricket
which I caught was quite jumpy and escaped a few
times when I was handling it. When I finally got it in the tank the spider went for it and missed as the cricket jumped
out the way a few times. The cricket ended up at the other side of the tank and the spider was stationary for a while.
The cricket knew there was something wrong but started to explore after a while. Another battle with the spider left
the cricket in the jaws, but it kept on kicking (I assume through random nerve impulses). This posed the spider a
few problems. Due to the side of the cricket, the nervous kicks were quite strong, and this meant spid had a hard
time keeping hold of it. Another problem was the spider wanted to take the cricket into it's den under the camera
cartridge and eat it. However it could not fit. It took it all around the tank and then ended up in one of the camera
cartridges where it was this morning looking a lot fatter than it was last night.
|Spiderling has shed skin again! He'd been off his food for a bout a
week and then did his usual of turning white.
I found him upside down in his tank in the morning and initially thought he had died, but he was still moving.
When I went back at lunch time he was upright again and moving about. He's now a lot bigger and is spending
the time digging in his vermiculite. I'll attempt to feed him later on next week. Note in the picture the way his
colours are starting to show through.
|Last night I moved the tank onto the heat mat fully as the spider
has been favouring the warmer half of his environment.
As with before he migrated onto the top of the camera cartridge as if to cool down? Then again it might be that the higher
up the spider gets the warmer it gets? I can't see a way to practically test this hypothesis in the current tank. When he is
moved into the larger tank I will note down his movements (it is higher and likely to have a smaller temperature gradient
from the floor to the top of a camera cartridge). Fed spider today. I didn't see him take the cricket as I had to go out, but
he certainly had caught it on my return - busily munching by the corner of the camera cartridge. I think I'll be able to feed
him some of the larger crickets now he's getting bigger. I'll attempt to feed again mid week. As noted above his colours
are really starting to show through now.
|Fed spider again in the evening. At first he didn't take it, and
then the next minute the cricket was in his mouth doing it's
usual twitching routine. I've added some more vermiculite and moved the camera cartridges around again. As seems to
be common, after the spider has eaten the cricket he hides for a day in one of the cartridges. The tank was also starting
to get a bit dry so I added water to keep the humidity up.
|Spider was super hungry. The cricket dropped into the tank, walked a
pace or two and then was agressively pounced on
by the spid. The spider is several times bigger than it was when I first got him, the growth rate is quite amazing. I expect
him to shed again in the next two to three weeks.
|Tried feeding spider today, but he wasn't hungry. The cricket was
very active and kept on jumping about. Spid ignored it
and I removed the cricket. I expect him to shed his skin again within the week. This should mean he will be even more
|The biggest house spider I have ever seen has been running about my
lounge. I caught him and took some photos. I also
popped him in a tub with a cricket, but the spider ignored it. I assune they simply go for smaller prey, unless he'd already
eaten. Though I am a bit confused as to why he broke cover from under my chair to run accross the room. The spider was
very fast and tended to dart away from the light. When I picked him up he seemed not to mind, but favoured the underside
of my arm and at one point ran up to my shoulder blade - which was a moment to remember. He came back down again
though onto my hand. At no time did he attempt to bite me or act aggressively to me.
|Spiderling has still been off his food. I've tried feeding him a
number of times but he ignores the crickets so they have
been swiftly removed. Spiderling shed his skin today. He's now bigger and considerably more orange and black.
|Placed another circket into the tank for the spiderling. The
crickets seem to be more jumpy and intelligent in their old
age. The spider showed some interest but the cricket hid behind the camera cartridge. As the spider has got considerably
bigger it can no longer hunt them out in this area. Instead he went onto the camera cartidge and hasn't moved since. I
assume he is either waiting for the cricket to come out or is simply not hungry.
|Spider has finally taken the cricket. Although he has ignored it for
a couple of days and has been perched on top of the
camera cartridge when I checked in the evening he had the cricket in his mouth. I will attempt to take some more pictures.
|Spiddle eaten again.
|Fed spider again last night. It was the last of the crickets I
bought ages ago. They seem to survive for quite a while which
is good as it keeps the costs down! The cricket went into the tank and wandered around for a bit. The spider sensed the
cricket was in there (as it wasn't in it's line of sight) and turned to face where the cricket was. After a while the cricket
decided to jump and landed on the spider. Needless to say the spider attacked and caught the crickets very quickly.
It then took it into one of the camera cartridges to consume, though it did the strange 'dance' which I've seen it do the
last couple of times it has eaten. I think it is laying some web on the floor of where it is eating, but I am not sure of the
reason for this. I definitely need a larger tank as I believe if the spid wanted to it could lift the lid off (it has been digging
again, and now the vermiculite is right up to the roof almost).
|Watched spider last night (I don't think I can call him a spiderling
anymore). He was in the camera cartridge and then came
out and physically moved it around his tank by half hanging out of it. I was very impressed. The reason i decided to watch him
is because the camera cartridge has been in loads of different positions, non of which I have placed it in. The other day it was
on it's end, and this really puzzled me as it cannot role onto the end unless there had been an express intention to do so.
He seems to be aware of his strength and understands that he has the ability to change larger objects in his environment.
I'm worried that soon he'll work out that the lid is a large object, and it might be something he can move.
|Spider ate again today. At first he didn't show any interest in
the cricket, and then I came back and he had it in his mouth.
The crickets I have purchased seem to like orange. I believe it is important that they have a balanced diet (fresh fruit, veg and
majze) as they are the first step in the spiders food chain. Giving the spider poorly fed crickets will only result in the spider
obtaining poor quality nutrients.
Also, I would like to say a big thank you for those of you
who have been giving me feedback about the site. If you have
|Fed spider again today. He's getting quite fat. Need an
oppurtunity to take some pictures of him. I was going to rehouse
the little fella over the weekend, but I'm not too happy about using his new house. I think it may be a lot cooler and dries
out quicker. This isn't ideal if I have to go away for a weekend on business.
|Spider has not been eating lately which has been a bit worrying.
He's been hiding in his camera cartridge and not
taking crickets. I spotted that one of his legs was poking out the cartridge and it looked like the colours had become
more vivid. Eventually he came out his hiding hole and he looked a lot bigger, more black on his abdomen and
considerably more furry. I had a thought and checked the inside of the camera cartridge. Sure enough he had
shed his skin either in the camera cartridge or outside and carried it in.
I fed him today and think he took the cricket quickly. One point to
make, I have been feeding the crickets a
Once fed, the spider soon went into his hidey hole. I had prepared a
new house (identical to his current habitat)
|Above is an image of the spiders different shedded skins to date
(since I have had him) and shows the increase
in his size. The spider skins are very delicate and brittle. Trying to move them into another position than they have
been shedded in results in them snapping and coming apart. The numbers below the respective skins are the
approximate date on which they were shed.
|Fed spid today. Because the habitat is a little more sparse than it
was the cricket could not hide and was pursued
by the spider - which is getting bigger. I will need to get a new tank for him in a couple of weeks.
|Fed spid again today.
|Fed spid today. He was very hungry and attacked the cricket with
quite a bit of speed and force. Because he's large
now, his appetite has increased and the crickets are physically eaten a lot faster than previously. As usual he did
his strange dance after he had caught it. Still to work out the exact reasons for this. Another thing he does, it wander
about the tank with it in his mouth. He'll go into his hidey hole, then come out, then wander around some more.
Once he went on top of his hidey hole and fell off. He's done this a couple of times.
have sorted out a new tank for the spider over the weekend. It's a
Cadbury's Roses box and is considerably

difference in size between that and his current status is very
|Fed Spiderling again tonight. The cricket made one step and then got
eaten. Spiderling (who is possibly not a
Spiderling anymore) wandered around his habitat as usual. Note the difference in size and colour between Spiderlings
in the images below.
|Spiderling has been doing a lot of digging lately.He also spends a great deal of time on top of the camera cartridge.
|Fed spider this evening. He appeared to be quite agressive and made
a mad dash for the cricket. He has also moved
all his vermiculite from one side (the warmer one) to the other, but still stays pertched on top of the camera cartridge.
This makes for interesting feeding times as he can easily crawl out over the top of the tank now if he wants to.
|Fed and watered spid. The weather has turned very cold recently and
I think the spider has felt this as he was sitting in
the floor of the tank (something which he doesn't usually do). He hasn't been moving much so I turned up his heating.
When I fed him it took him a little while for him to bother getting getting it. Usually the attack is very quick indeed. He
moved around more afterward though and was sitting on top of his camera cartridge again.
|Finally moved spiderling to his new house. A food tub (note the
holes in the top - it's airtight and would kill the spider if
not modified. I set the new home up on the heat pad and made sure it was warm and watered. I also purchased a
piece of bark from the pet shop for the spider to sit on. Not shown is the camera cartridges which I transfered over and
some of the original vermiculite. I made the assumption that the spider must be able to 'smell' or sense certain things
so some familar objects may help - or at least would not do any harm.
To get the spider out his orginal home (see the picture below
with him on top of the camera cartridge - marked with an

cartridges. He has come out a few times, the evidence
of this is a fine web which he has spun over his hiding hole.

Selecting the Right Mat
Part II: Color
Creative combinations for matting are endless given the extensive range of colors and surface textures available in matboard. When selecting a mat it should complement and not detract from your artwork. Whenever possible lay the artwork next to the matboard. This is more accurate than trying to remember the artwork's colors.
Remember, there is a relationship between the value of the mat and the value of the artwork. (Value is how light or how dark it is.) Selecting the matboard defines that relationship. How do you want the mats to work with the artwork?
One of the safest choices is a color in the medium overall value of the the artwork. To get the medium overall value, match the mat value with the value of the predominant colors in the artwork. If you choose a mat that is too light, the artwork will appear to jump out of the mat. If you choose a mat that is too dark, the artwork will look constricted. Usually the color of the mat will be either a tint or a shade.* Colors high in saturation (not tinted or shaded) will tend to dominate an artwork and are better used as accents in multiple mat designs. High saturation colors may be used to produce a strong contrast. The objective in selecting mats is to enhance the artwork, so the viewer's eye is drawn to the artwork and not to the mats or frame.
In multiple mat designs, visual stability is created when the top mat is the same overall value as the artwork. For the artwork to recede, the top mat is the darkest value, and the undermats get lighter as they near the picture.
For the artwork to come forward, the top mat needs to be a lighter value than the artwork and the undermat near the artwork should be considerably darker.
A color will seem to change depending on what color is next to it. Purple will appear more blue when placed next to red. Purple will appear more red when placed next to green.
Value is also changeable. A color that appears dark when surrounded by white will appear much lighter if surrounded by black.
Note: Some juried shows require artwork to be matted only in white mats with no texture. The reason is that any color put on a mat changes the appearance of the colors in the artwork. Try different combinations of matboard next to your own artwork, or ask your local art store or picture framer for suggestions.
For more detailed information read: The Framer's Book by Paul Fredrick, CPF
*A tint is a color with white added to make it a lighter value. A shade is a color grayed to make it a darker value.

Puerto Princesa Subterranean River

The Debate that Never Dies
In the eight years we've been doing Dr. Phil, we have done three or four shows devoted to a topic that is in my view important and always controversial: stay-at-home moms vs. career moms. Wednesday's show is about that very topic and is, I think, the best we have ever done on the important challenges both types of moms face. In fact, something took place that's never happened before in the history of Dr. Phil. One of the more outspoken stay-at-home mothers said — and I paraphrase — that if a woman can't stay at home with her kids, then maybe she just shouldn't have them! We asked this woman on the show to share her views, and appreciated her willingness to take a stand, but then our staff did too. At a break, my executive producer, Carla Pennington, a mother of twins, told me that she felt compelled to share her own views as a dedicated, working, single mother who wanted to speak for those moms that are in situations that require them to work outside the home. (more…)
The Motherhood Debate
Wow, thanks to all of you who watched the show we did on the realities of motherhood. I have to say, I was so pleased at the huge feedback we got on our Dr. Phil Web site message boards, my Twitter page, as well as on my Facebook page about Maria, one of our guests on the show who gave up physical custody of her three daughters when she and her husband divorced.
Some of you were simply flabbergasted at what Maria did: "What a horrible message that gives to the children," wrote a viewer named Annette. "I can't IMAGINE not reading bedtime stories, kissing, hugging, and saying I love u to the moon and back, every single night," added Alisa. "Nothing replaces a mother's daily nurturing." (more…)

What features are supported?
- Complete reading and writing access to files and directories of volumes with the Ext2 or Ext3 file system.
- Supports features which are specific to the I/O-system of Windows: Byte Range Locks, Directory Notfication (so the Explorer updates the view of a directory on changes within that directory), Oplocks (so SMB clients are able to cache the content of files).
- Allows Windows to run with paging files on Ext2 volumes.
- UTF-8 encoded file names are supported.
- The driver treats files with file names that start with a dot "." character as hidden.
- Supports GPT disks if the Windows version used also does.
- Supports use of the Windows mountvol utility to create or delete drive letters for Ext2 volumes (except on Windows NT 4.0). See also section "Can drive letters also be configured from scripts?".
What features are *not* supported?
- Inodes that are larger than 128 bytes are not supported.
- Access rights are not maintained. All users can access all the directories and files of an Ext2 volume. If a new file or directory is created, it inherits all the permissions, the GID and the UID from the directory where it has been created. There is one exception to this rule: a file (but not a directory) the driver has created always has cleared "x" permissions, it inherits the "r" and the "w" permissions only. See also section "What limitations arise from not maintaining access rights?".
- The driver does not allow accessing special files at Ext2 volumes, the access will be always denied. (Special files are sockets, soft links, block devices, character devices and pipes.)
- Alternate 8.3-DOS names are not supported (just because there is no place to store them in an Ext2 file system). This can prevent legacy DOS applications, executed by the NTVDM of Windows, from accessing some files or directories.
- Currently the driver does not implement defragging support. So defragmentation applications will neither show fragmentation information nor defragment any Ext2 volume.
- This software does not achieve booting a Windows operating system from an Ext2 volume.
- LVM volumes are not supported, so it is not possible to access them.
How are drive letters configured for Ext2 volumes?
Creating, modifying and removing of drive letters is very simple. Please use the "IFS Drives" item, which has been installed on the system's control panel.
It shows a partition scheme and enables you to administrate drive letters for all non-Windows partitions, including all the Ext2 volumes. (That partition scheme is shown by the setup application of this software package, too.) You must have administrator rights.
Drive letters may also be configured with the Windows mountvol utility. See also section "Can drive letters also be configured from scripts?".
Can drive letters also be configured from scripts?
With version 1.11 of the Ext2 IFS software, drive letters can be configured with the Windows mountvol utility (except on Windows NT 4.0). This is useful if you want to control them from a script.
The mountvol utility is used just as if the drive letters would correspond to native Windows volumes, regardless of whether the volumes are native Windows volumes or Ext2/Ext3 ones.
First create a drive letter, for example X:, for a given Ext2/Ext3 volume with the "IFS Drives" item in the control panel in order to conveniently identify it in the following steps:
Use the Windows mountvol utility in order to identify the persistent volume name of the volume (replace
X: with the actual drive letter):
mountvol X:\ /L
Now mountvol will report the persistent volume name (example):
The persistent volume name of a native volume of Windows remains valid unless Windows is reinstalled again. The persistent volume name of a volume that is managed by Ext2 IFS remains valid as long as the Ext2 IFS software remains installed.
You can use a known persistent volume name for a specific volume in order to create a new drive letter:
mountvol X:\ \\?\Volume{241c8cc6-c4e4-11db-8168-c5932447ec37}
You can delete a drive letter with
mountvol X:\ /D
Does the Ext2 driver access Ext3 volumes, too?
The Ext3 file system is the Ext2 file system which has been extended by journaling. Ext3 is backward-compatible to Ext2 - an Ext3 volume can be mounted and used as an Ext2 volume. Just as older Linux Kernels which do not know the Ext3 file system can mount Ext3 volumes (as Ext2 volumes), the Ext2 file system driver ext2fs.sys for Windows incorporated in this software package can do it without any problems, too. Of course you do not take advantage of the journaling of the Ext3 file system if you mount it as an Ext2 file system.
If you mount an Ext3 file system as an Ext2 file system and the file system is not cleanly dismounted, (e.g. due to a system crash), you have to run the e2fsck tool. (Linux does it automatically.) Running e2fsck can take several hours on large volumes. You do not benefit from journaling the Ext3 file system, because you have to run e2fsck.
If you mount an Ext3 file system as an Ext3 file system (journaling) and the file system is not cleanly dismounted due to a system crash, things are much better: When the volume is mounted next time as an Ext3 file system, a replay of the journal will be done, after which the file system will be consistent. You need not run e2fsck. (If you run e2fsck nevertheless, it won't find any errors of the Ext3 file system, because there will not be any errors after replaying the journal.)
If a volume is mounted as Ext3 file system, any new data is first completely written into the journal, and then into the file system. This is also called a transaction. Finally, the data is removed from the journal. So a journal only contains data when you are writing to the file system. After a clean dismount of the Ext3 file system, the journal is empty.
When the Linux kernel mounts an Ext3 file system, it first checks whether the journal contains complete transactions (not written yet due to a prior crash). If there are any, it does the already mentioned replay of the journal, which means that all data of the journal is written to the file system, and any data will be removed from it. So a replay always repairs any damage caused by a prior crash.
With the described way of writing the journal and the file system's data and with a replay of the journal after a crash, consistency of the file system is always achieved. Thus, e2fsck will not find any error.
The Ext2 file system driver of the Ext2 IFS software will refuse mounting an Ext3 file system which contains data in its journal, just like older Linux kernels which have no Ext3 support. In this way data loss and damaging the file system is avoided when the journal is subsequently replayed. So you can access only those Ext3 volumes with the Ext2 IFS software which have been cleanly dismounted beforehand.
What limitations arise from not maintaining access rights?
The current version of the Ext2 file system driver does not maintain access rights. All users can access all the Ext2 volumes that a drive letter is created for. For example, if a drive letter has been created for an Ext2 volume, which is the root volume of a Linux installation, you can simply read and modify files such as /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. User names are readable and passwords of these users can be quite easily cracked and modified!
Therefore the current Ext2 file system driver does not fit for installations which require restrictive rights policies. It should be sufficient for your computer at home, which is used by one or a few users only. Furthermore, you should create drive letters for a root volume of a Linux installation only if you know exactly what you are doing.
What Ext2 revisions and Ext2 feature bits does the Ext2 driver support?
Revision 0 (Linux Kernel 2.2 and prior) and revision 1 (dynamic revision, Linux Kernels higher than 2.2) are supported.
Revision 1 (dynamic revision) implements feature bits as a kind of version control. These feature bits indicate whether an Ext2 file system residing on a disk has particular feature properties. Almost all feature bits are determined at the time when the Ext2 file system is created. Therefore most of the possible feature bits correspond to the -O switch of the mke2fs tool of Linux. (mke2fs is the "formatting tool" for Ext2 file system and creates such a file system. There is also a tune2fs tool for modifying feature bits of an Ext2 file system.)
The current version of the Ext2 file system driver (ext2fs.sys version 1.11) supports the following feature bits of the Ext2 file system:
mke2fs -O
File type information is stored in directory entries, too. (Improves performance on querying the content of a directory.)
File system with fewer super block backup copies. (Saves space on large file systems.)
Htree directories. A directory may contain an additional index in order to speed up lookups in large directories.
Files larger than 2 GBytes are currently stored in the file system. See note#1.
When a directory grows, more blocks than are actually needed are allocated. (Reduces fragmentation of the file system.) See note#2.
Note#1: The EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE is always disabled when creating an Ext2 file system. It is set on first storing a file larger than 2 GBytes. See next section "What is the Large File Feature and how it is configured?"
Note#2: Surprisingly, neither the current mke2fs nor the tune2fs tool (from the e2fsprogs 1.35 package) supports this feature bit. If you want to enable it, you have to use an appropriate disk editor tool. (Do it only if you know exactly what you are doing.)
What is the Large File Feature and how it is configured?
Linux kernels version higher than 2.2 allow storing files larger than 2 GBytes on Ext2 volumes: They set a feature bit
the first time such a large file is stored.
But this set feature bit causes old Linux Kernels, which do not support large files (version 2.2 or prior), mounting the Ext2 volume as a read-only volume. If that volume is the root volume of an old Linux installation, its Linux Kernel will become inoperable (it will enter the maintenance mode on booting).
The Ext2 file system driver ext2fs.sys for Windows has to behave exactly like Linux kernels to become compatibile with the Linux file system Ext2. But the behavior of old and new Linux Kernels regarding to large files excludes each other, so the Ext2 file system driver ext2fs.sys for Windows is configurable whether it behaves like an old Linux Kernel (2.2 or prior) or a new Linux Kernel (higher than 2.2).
The setup wizard of this software asks the user whether the large file feature should be enabled and configures the file system driver ext2fs.sys for Windows according to the choice made by the user. If you have a recent Linux distribution, you should enable the large file feature.
If you want to check or modify whether the large file feature of ext2fs.sys is enabled, it is configured at the registry key
by the registry value
If that (DWORD-) value exists and is not equal to 0x0000 the large file feature is enabled. (Changes will take effect on next reboot.)
What files does the setup program install?
1.11a See note#1
File system driver (kernel mode) for the Ext2 file system.
1.00a See note#1
IFS Mount Manager driver (kernel mode). Creates and deletes drive letters for any volume.
ActiveX control. Configures the IFS Mount Manager driver ifsmount.sys.
(all Windows versions except Vista/2008)
Control panel item "IFS Drives", which actually hosts the ActiveX control of ifsdrives.dll.
(Windows Vista/2008 only)
Control panel item "IFS Drives", which actually hosts the ActiveX control of ifsdrives.dll.
(Windows Vista/2008 only)
Tasks file that defines tasks for the "IFS Drives" item in the control panel.
Note#1: There are separate versions of the drivers ext2fs.sys and ifsmount.sys for each of the supported Windows platforms (Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008). The setup application of this software package installs the right drivers corresponding to the Windows platform it runs at.
How do I uninstall the Ext2 IFS software?
Use the "Add/Remove Programs" item in the control panel to uninstall the "Ext2 IFS 1.11a for Windows" software.
Note: Uninstallation will require a reboot.

Student study-abroad awards announced
April 18, 2007
Fifty University of Wisconsin-Madison students have been awarded prestigious study-abroad scholarships, the Division of International Studies' International Academic Programs (IAP) announced.
The awards, totaling nearly $80,000, have been made possible in large part through gifts by UW-Madison alumni, faculty, staff and friends.
"In an interconnected and interdependent world, graduating globally minded citizens and professionals is critical for our economy and national security," says Gilles Bousquet, dean of International Studies. "We're very pleased to be able to make the transformative experience of study abroad possible for increasing numbers of our students."
According to Bousquet, about 50 percent of UW-Madison first-year students say they would like to study abroad but only about 16 percent do so by graduation.
The students will be honored at a study abroad scholarship awards ceremony at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 24, in the Memorial Union Main Lounge. The event is by invitation.
UW-Madison's schools and colleges offer more than 150 different study-abroad programs around the world, and the campus as a whole is highly ranked among research institutions in study abroad nationally. More than half of the university's programs are offered through IAP.
Fifteen students will receive Chou Kuo-Ping awards, named after the UW-Madison faculty member who taught Chinese language courses on campus in the mid-1960s and who arranged for her students to study abroad in Taiwan. The scholarships have been made possible by one of those students, Tom Sternberg, now an insurance executive in White Plains, NY. His gift to the UW Foundation in Chou's honor goes toward study abroad in China (including Hong Kong) or Taiwan. This year's award recipients will study abroad in Beijing and Tianjin.
Seven students will receive Pritzker Pucker Awards for yearlong study in one of the UW-Madison's overseas programs. The students will study in Japan, China, India and Senegal. The scholarships were made possible by Gigi Pritzker Pucker, an alumna of the UW-Madison's Nepal study-abroad program, on behalf of the Pritzker Pucker Family Foundation.
"The UW-Madison Nepal Program changed my life in so many ways," Pritzker Pucker says. "The impact has been lifelong, and I am so pleased to be able to help other students have this experience."
Other students will receive awards through the Cyril W. Nave Fund for Latin American Research; the Joe Elder Awards, named in honor of the UW-Madison professor who has led the College Year in India program virtually since its inception in 1961; the Laurent Karim Makward Memorial Scholarship, named after the son of UW-Madison emeritus professor Edris Makward and Christiane P. Makward, professor of French and Francophone studies at Penn State University; the Julie and Michael Gerend Study Abroad Fund; and Study Abroad Alumni Awards, made possible through contributions from UW-Madison alumni and friends of study-abroad programs.
"Exposure to cultures abroad is the greatest life experience," say Julie and Michael Gerend. Julie was an Evans Scholar at UW-Madison and participated in the Florence study-abroad program in her junior year. The couple made the contribution to encourage UW-Madison students to pursue an international academic challenge.
The awards, ranging from $500-$4,000, were made based on a combination of factors, including financial need, demonstrated academic excellence and the nature of the academic program proposed for the time spent abroad.
Twenty students receiving Study Abroad Alumni Awards are Philip Creswell, Naomi Crocker, Laura Frank, Kassandra Grimm, Steven Jacowski, Ross Kirsling, Andrew Kukowski, Spencer Lemiesz, Heather Magers Keefe, Marc Montrose, Jessica Pope, Ilirijan Residovski, Elizabeth Schaefer, Nicolas Schaub, Tyler Schmidt, Brittany Shimek, Alice Smith, Tracy Smith, Kathleen Thomas and Gabriel Woytek.
Fifteen students receiving Chou Kuo-Ping Awards are Stephanie Blair, Krista Bollig, Theresa Brennan, Amanda Byrd, Philip Charboneau, Sarah Dehlinger, Kylie Engle, Theodore Feierstein, Megan Fliegel, Katie Ginther, Cindy Kaminski, Kaitlin Schalow, Eric Schuchardt, Laura Skala and Peter Tierney.
Seven students receiving Pritzker Pucker awards are Bowen Casey, Stephanie Dorman, Andrew Kukowski, Donovan McClain, Kathleen Sellers, Catherine Skroch and Benjamin Voss.
Megan Attridge, Brian Busha, Brenda Lazarus, Margaret Presley and Bradley Schmock received Joe Elder Awards.
Susan Kooiman, Alice McCarthy and Francie Phelps received Nave Awards.
Amanda Milford received a Gerend Award. Heather Magers Keefe received a Makward Award.

President Barack Obama believes the Gophers can win an NCAA tournament game.
Obama, who filled out his annual bracket for ESPN, picked 11th-seeded Minnesota to beat sixth-seeded UCLA in the opening round on Friday, March 22, in Austin, Texas.
"UCLA lost a key player (Jordan Adams)," Obama said to ESPN's Andy Katz. "Minnesota's been playing tough. I think Tubby Smith's team is going to do great."
But Obama didn't pick the Gophers to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, losing in the second round because "Florida is a very talented team."
The Big Ten received high praise from Obama, who picked four teams from the conference -- Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin -- to reach the Elite Eight.
Obama's Final Four is Indiana, Ohio State, Louisville and Florida. He has Indiana beating Louisville to win the national championship.

An Arigna man was convicted, fined and disqualified from driving for drunk driving after his defence failed at the April sitting of Boyle District Court.
Seamus Faughnan, 17 Cnoc An Tobair, Arigna, Co Roscommon was charged with drunk driving and failing to stop for a Garda at Aghafin, Keadue, Co Roscommon on April 24, 2009.
Gda Caitrina McGrath told the court that on the above date she was on mobile patrol at 9.10pm when she noticed a car driving erratically in front of her. She passed the vehicle out and pulled ahead and activated her blue lights for him to stop, she then noticed the car had stopped so she drove back and stopped alongside him, the driver then pulled off in the opposite direction. Gda McGrath turned the car around and followed it. She said it drove towards Drumshanbo, then Keadue and then into the car park of a public house.
She told the court when she went over to the driver he said "It is yourself." She gave evidence saying Mr Faughnan staggered and had to hold on to the car door to stand up, she also said she smelled intoxicating liqour off his breath. He was arrested and brought to Carrick-on-Shannon Garda Station where he was observed for 20 minutes before taken to the doctors room by Gda Pauline Doherty. Gda McGrath said he failed to provide a breath sample so they called for a doctor to attend and a blood sample was taken.
She said the returned reading of the blood from the medical bureau was 229 mls of alcohol to 100mls of blood. Gda Pauline Doherty told the court she was operating the intoxiliser machine that night, she said Mr Faughnan gave an incomplete breath and she told him he could have another go but the machine gave an "ambient fail" reading. He was then told a blood/ urine sample could be taken. She said the defendant co-operated fully.
Defence solicitor Doireann N Riain made a submission to the court that 13A of the Road Traffic Act says a person arrested for drunk driving can be required "by a member of the gardai to" give either a breath or blood/ urine sample. "My client was required to two of the following: breath and blood," she said, "the breath specimen was taken by Garda Doherty and Gda McGrath attended the blood requirement."
Ms N Riain said she did not feel that the Gardai's "power fettered from one to the other," but that both requirements should have been attended by the same Garda. She asked the judge to dismiss the case. Judge Browne did find Ms Ni Riain's point interesting but as it had no precedent, Judge Browne said her point "did not hold."
He convicted, fined him w1,500 and disqualified Mr Faughnan from driving for three years for drunk driving. He also convicted and fined Mr Faughnan w250 for failing to stop for Gardai on the same date. Recognances were fixed

text: Google Tries Again with Gmail iPhone App This time it loads, but still lacks some key functions By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Nov 16, 2011 1:58 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (0) (Newser) – Google is trying again with its Gmail app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch after its first attempt two weeks proved to be a quick failure. The new app is out today, and Business Insider reports progress: It loads this time without errors, and Google fixed the problem related to notifications. It's still pretty basic, though, notes ReadWriteWeb, meaning users can't do things like check multiple accounts. "For now, little has changed about the app that many panned as insufficient for a native Gmail app," writes Jon Mitchell. Google promises upgrades soon in a blog post. A second version of the Gmail app is now available.

For Volvo Ocean Race Puma bowman and Mooloolaba Yacht Club sailor, Casey Smith, sitting on the sidelines in Newport, Rhode Island is a tough call.
PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG bowman Casey Smith from Australia waves to the crowds as they finish first on leg 5 from Auckland, New Zealand to Itajai, Brazil, during the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12
Relegated to the sick list on arrival in Brazil after suffering a reoccurrence of an earlier back injury which saw him confined to his bunk with debilitating pain for the early part of the 6,705 mile southern ocean leg, Smith has been receiving intensive treatment in America while his crew mates on Puma finally take hold of the eight month race, leading the fleet all the way from Itajai in Brazil towards the finish in Miami.
With the risk of further damage being considered a real possibility, the decision to stay on land for the race leg to Miami has been worthwhile. 'I was in physiotherapy the day I got home (from Brazil) and have been going three days a week plus doing strengthening exercises daily. I didn't have much range of movement to start with, but I am now able to touch my toes again and feel happy that it's repairing well. '
Back out on the ocean and with less than 400 miles to the finish, Puma continues to hold the lead over the Volvo Ocean Race fleet, but only slightly. Throughout this leg Puma has had to fight to stay ahead, sometimes by only just over two miles. Sitting on the edge of the seat throughout last 18 tensioned filled days has been Smith. 'I have been keeping an eye on the scheds and keeping my fingers crossed that the boys can pull off another win. It would be great for the team to have another good result and really put some pressure on the leader board. There's a lot of racing left to go and as we have seen with the boats, things can happen and points can be lost.'
While the time in Newport with his family has been good for him, it's a situation that doesn't sit comfortably with Smith. He misses not being out on the ocean racing on his beloved Mar Mostro. And, with anything more than low-key media reports being issued from the boats being considered as possible outside assistance, he has no way of knowing how the mechanical systems on board are operating, a role which he has played key part in since the start of the race back in October last year.
Smith now has one week left before he heads south to Miami to reunite with the Puma team. 'It feels great to be able to say that and it's been a focus and goal to help me get through this experience.
'To any young people out there up and coming in the sailing world, look after your back. You don't appreciate being young and bullet proof until you go to move a sail and bang, oh no...' Smith said.

3,279 thoughts on "The August GIVEAWAY"
When lots and lots of years ago, my best friend told me he's learnt so many things from me that he wants to call me his master Yoda haha :)
Everyone else seems to think I have hand-modeling hands and I just smile and say thank you. What they don't know is my hands are always super dang awkward in all photographs #
You're an awesome friend!
Best compliment ever is every time I hear I have a beautiful voice!
The best compliment I've ever reseived was "you look like you are glowing!" :D
Ooh what lovely things! I die for Moleskine notebooks ('easily satisfied'? Me?!) I think one of the best, and most surprising compliments I ever got came from an ex-boyfriend, after we broke up. He said I was one of the best people he'd ever met, because I had so much integrity. I have to keep working to deserve that…
I was told I looked like john Lennon, wait that isn't it, mainly because he was a dude and I am not. My 5 year old nephew told me I was cool!
What a great giveaway! The best compliment I ever received was when my boss told me she thought I was a great teacher. I really respect her experience and skills, so it meant a lot to hear she saw potential in me.
The best compliment I've ever received was when I moved here to the states from another country and I told them my name was Fressa. I didn't know how to speak English, but my teacher told me she loved my name. My name is a mix of my dad's and mom's first names and it turns out to be Strawberry in Spanish! I'm so glad my parents names mixed into a nice word in another language! I'm glad my name doesn't translate to onion or translate to smelly. ;)
Best compliment ever-"motherhood suits you."
A new friend once hold me that he speaks highly of me to strangers- I thought that was pretty poignant
My boyfriend always tells me that I am more beautiful now than I was when he met me 15 years ago :)
Kickass giveaway — but HARD question! Best compliment… perhaps just being told I'm the nicest person ever! {I don't think I deserved it, but it was nice to hear!}
best compliment? i was told i was 'really, really, really, really nice.' pretty standard, right? this was from a 5 year old i'd been helping my friend look after, and it really made me smile because i actually don't have a clue with small children!
Awesome giveaway, Joy! Best compliment I've ever received? My daughter telling me that I'm the best mommy ever to her!
Great giveaway! I would love to win *all* of this! The best compliment I ever received was when someone told me "You have a lovely singing voice" :)

Traffic cops arrested for R1 000 bribeComment on this story
Upington - Two traffic officers have been arrested for alleged corruption in Upington, Northern Cape, the Hawks said on Saturday.
The Anti Corruption investigation unit of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation arrested the officers on Friday, Captain Paul Ramaloko said. "The two traffic officials pulled off a man who was speeding and instructed him to pay R1 000 bribe.
"The man apparently explained to the officers that he was rushing his wife who was in labour to Upington hospital," Ramaloko said.
The officers released the man on condition that he would pay them R1 000 when he returns home.
The man reported the matter to the Hawks.
Police arrested the officers after they pocketed the R1 000. Ramaloko said the bribe money was recovered, and the officers would appear in the Upington Magistrate's court on Monday.

FARMINGTON — Local and federal law enforcement officials charged 29 people Wednesday on suspicion of trafficking methamphetamine in San Juan County.
The charges came after a year-long investigation into a meth dealing ring in northwestern New Mexico that investigators called "Brown ICE," law enforcement officials said at a press conference in Farmington on Wednesday evening.
The meth dealing network was allegedly headed by Isaac Anaya, a 30-year-old Farmington man, said San Juan County Sheriff's Office Lt. Neil Haws, the director of the Region II Narcotics Task Force.
On Wednesday, law enforcement officials served 11 federal search warrants at two Bloomfield residences, four Farmington residences, two residences in unincorporated San Juan County, two Bloomfield businesses, two Farmington businesses and a storage unit in Bloomfield, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Mexico. State search warrants were also served.
Law enforcement officials on Wednesday located and arrested 26 of the 29 people charged in connection to the case. Two of the suspects were already in police custody on other charges. One of the suspects has not been arrested and is considered a fugitive.
Of the suspects charged Wednesday, 12 were charged with federal drug trafficking offenses. All 12 face several charges, including conspiracy to trafficking meth, which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Another suspect, Fay Gordon, 29, of Farmington, was charged with federal drug trafficking crimes, but Gordon had not been arrested as of Wednesday evening.
The other 16 suspects are facing state charges.
Haws said the case started as a Region II investigation into Anaya, but the anti-narcotics task force early into the investigation presented the case to a local Department of Homeland Security agent. The federal agency worked alongside local law enforcement, which resulted in the federal warrants, Haws said.
"What we did was dismantle and disrupt a large criminal organization that had tentacles not only here in the Four Corners, but have far-reaching arms that stretch all the way down to the Republic of Mexico," said Kevin Abar, an assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security in New Mexico. "Homeland Security has made a commitment to this region, and we will keep our commitment to this region, and we will push forward on various investigations."
Abar said the suspects arrested Wednesday worked together in a criminal network. He declined to discuss how the network was organized, saying it was still an ongoing investigation and more charges could be filed.
In addition to the arrests, law enforcement officials on Wednesday confiscated a significant amount of drugs, guns, small explosives, cash, vehicles and other property, Haws said. Searches were still happening Wednesday evening, and more details about what was confiscated weren't available. Haws said that during the year-long investigation, at least five pounds of meth and five firearms were seized.
San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christesen said more than 330 law enforcement officers arrested suspects and conducted searches throughout the county on Wednesday. Six armored trucks ferried law enforcement to different locations. And the sheriff's office helicopter patrolled the skies throughout the day to ensure the operation went as planed, Christesen said.
Searches and arrests started at 6 a.m., and the operation was coordinated out of the National Guard Armory on Navajo Street in Farmington, he said.
Once arrested, the suspects were brought to the armory, where they were fingerprinted and law enforcement attempted to interview them, Christesen said.
After that, they were taken to the San Juan County Adult Detention Center, and jail staff worked into the night to book them into the facility, jail administrator Tom Havel said.
Farmington, Bloomfield and Aztec police and the sheriff's office were involved in the operation. The sheriff, police chiefs from the various agencies and District Attorney Rick Tedrow said at the Wednesday press conference that the operation will have a significant effect on meth trafficking in San Juan County. The law enforcement officials said the partnerships between the agencies were crucial to its success.
"Today's events are the product of the diligent efforts of a vast group of people committed to the safety of our communities, county and our nation," said Acting Farmington Police Chief Vincent Mitchell. "This coordination ... increases the security, prosperity and quality of life for our citizens."
A significant number of Homeland Security agents throughout the county made arrests and searched properties on Wednesday. Christesen said the additional federal agents arrived in the county late last week and held briefings with law enforcement at undisclosed locations throughout the county.
Bloomfield resident Richard Archuleta, 32, was one of the suspects arrested on federal drug trafficking charges Wednesday. At his home on County Road 50106 on Wednesday afternoon, more than a dozen Homeland Security agents were seen searching his property and confiscating vehicles.
Haws said the suspects arrested Wednesday were selling meth that was produced in Mexico.
Anaya, who law enforcement described as the leader of the criminal network, has a long list of felony arrests, but his prior cases resulted in dismissals. In May 2006 and April 2012, he was arrested on suspicion of distribution of marijuana, and the case was dismissed each time.
He has also been arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery in 2004, aggravated assault in 2006 and aggravated fleeing in 2007. Each time the charges against him were dismissed, according to a state court website.
Abar said none of the suspects were injured during the operation.

Romania – Headhunters shortlisted by Economy Ministry
The Romanian Economy Ministry is currently selecting the winning tender to select private sector CEOs for state-owned companies from a shortlist that includes headhunters Spencer Stuart and Egon Zehnder, according to Romania Insider.
This is the second bid initialled by the Romanian Economy Ministry, after an unsuccessful attempt in December last year, when there were no applicants. The first bid required a consortium of companies with a 40 million Euro turnover over the last three years and 10 million Euro in turnover for each of the consortium members. The bar was, however, lowered and the Ministry is no longer demanding 10 million Euro turnover for consortium members.
The first bid in the 'private CEO for state companies' programme was won by executive recruitment firm Pedersen & Partners, in partnership with Roland Berger and Nestor Nestor Diculescu Pedersen (NNDKP) law firm. They drafted the task book for the executive recruitment companies that will select the CEOs.
Romania has made a pledge to the International Monetary Fund to hire private CEOs for state companies, which have been haemorrhaging cash in recent years. The winning company will create a shortlist of private sector candidates to become CEOs for Hidroelectrica, Oltchim, Electrica Furnizare and Compania Nationala Romarm.
It is expected that the winning bid will be revealed early next week.

Super Glue Too
I've been asked, "What are the reasons for why
You feel like your brain is super glued shut?"
Well, I don't know, but I'm starting a club
For others to join, who might be feeling the same
If one, more, or all of the following has ever happened
To you, you most likely qualify as an Expert-Level
Member of 'The Super Glued Brain' Club:
1. Have you ever sat staring at the computer screen for hours,
And more hours, and had the thought that somehow,
If you just walk away, the computer will magically finish it
For me? 2. Have you ever spent hours working on an idea,
Before realizing it's quite possibly THE single stupidest idea,
ANYONE has ever had in the history of the written word?
3. Ever been super-proud of a story, put it up for comments,
And the first comment you receive starts out, "What, were you
HIGH when you wrote this?" and that is the most positive
Part of the comment? 4. You think up the best scenario
Ever devised by man, crank up the your computer,
Sit down to start typing; you're so excited, and 'nothing';
The idea is gone. There are other reasons why
You might qualify for membership in the club,
But I've only included four...oh, okay, I couldn't think of anymore!
