Dell windows 7 oem disc activation
hi, I am new to this forum, and I have a question. I have a dell windows 7 oem disc. I installed it on a dell computer that originally had windows vista on it, and it activated by itself. is it legal to install the same disc on more than one dell computer?

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
No, you can only use 1 licence on 1 PC at a time.
|My System Specs

You can only use the Dell windows 7 DVD on the original Dell PC with Windows 7 Pre-installed.

as long as I use it on one computer, it is genuine?

Is this a Win7 Upgrade kit or Dell Win7 upgrade or full copy disk you bought, or it is the Dell Reinstallation Disk for another PC? If the latter is very unlikely it would activate since it has the SLP activation that only works on the intended PC's BIOS.

It is a dell Reinstallation disk that I bought on eBay.

This was a waste of time, it is moulded and does not fit anyone's face , had to send it back, which cost me almost the same as the price of the mask! So the experience cost me a $1 and I don't have anything!!

If you don't, you are likely to get the following error message:

BROOKLYN - Brooklyn high school students spent the day visiting veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder in the borough.
Through the Hearing Our Heroes program, students gathered at the Brooklyn VA to hear the stories from soldiers once on the frontlines of battle. The program now has 300 members that help veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress throughout the year.
Former Marine and U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm says that he knows firsthand how difficult it can be to transition back to society after servicing overseas. He says the students who participate in the Hearing Our Heroes program make a big difference in the lives of veterans.
"I think it touches them in a way that all the doctors in the world couldn't touch," says Grimm.

Universities Should Not Be Asked To Repair Society by Ian R Thorpe.
The Daily Stirrer brings you opinion and comment on issues in the news that are likely to affect the lives of ordinary people. We therefore focus on economic matters, prices and inflation, jobs and unemployment, health, diet, education and social comment. Our contributors are old gits who are prepared to say what everybody is thinking. We do not like control freakery, bureaucracy, corporate fraud and fascism, politics, politically correct thinking, junk science or tax eaters. You've been warned.
Should university education provide therapy for damaged children from deprived homes, a teacher asks as the politically correct though police demand the system be skewed in favour of the fuckwits and under achievers in the name of 'equality.'
To pressure uniservity admisions officers into making offers to students with lower grades from state schools is like forcing an engineer to improve the design of an aircraft ōafter the plane has already crashedö, Phillip Cottam will claim in a speech today.
Mr. Cottam, the chairman of the Society of Headmasters and Headmistresses of Independent Schools, says the number of children from deprived backgrounds failing to fulfil their potential is a ōblotö on society. But forcing admissions tutors to repair these problems by discriminating against privately educated teenagers will fail to address key weaknesses in the education system, he adds.
Speaking at the societyÆs annual conference, he will criticise the decline of the state grammar school system which provided a decent academic education for pupils from the poorest families. His comments come just weeks after ministers insisted universities should admit more students from state schools and deprived backgrounds in return for charging over Ż6,000 in annual fees.
Cottam, the headmaster of fee-paying Halliford School in Shepperton, Middlesex, says more attention should be given to repairing BritainÆs education system. ōTrying to force universities to repair, let alone make up for, the problems of 18 years of upbringing and education is certainly not the answer,ö he will say. ōIt is approaching the issue from the wrong end and is like asking an engineer to improve the design of an aircraft after the plane has already crashed.ö
He will tell headmasters at the societyÆs conference in Telford, Shropshire that ōdiscriminating against independent-school pupils using a mechanistic template is unfair to young people educated in private schools. It often feels feels as if opponents of private education believe that the academic success does not reflect any real ability or potential, let alone hard, determined work by the individuals themselves,ö he says.
He will also say the modern education system fails to promote competition or push pupils towards excellence.
ōAn education system that emphasises entitlement at the expense of talent, effort and commitment will not develop the strength of character we need in order to deal with the ups and downs of life,ö Mr. Cottam's audience will hear.
Mr Cottam says educators are expected to provide the answer to the social ills of society, with the result that it resembles a branch of psychotherapyö. )
The Failure Of Education, The Subversion Of BureaucracyGovernment plans to toughen up the penalties that can be imposed on parents guilty of 'bad parenting' and tolerating truancy do not signal determination to deal with the problems in the education system but are an admission that progressive and ideological ideas in education havre failed generations of bored and disengaged pupils.
The Genocide Of Ideas
Modern, politically correct education methods are not just dumbing down school leavers, they are strangling imagingation and killing ideas. Are we already too late to save western civilisation from the tyranny of the limp wristed left?
Free Schools Are Needed To Save British Education But Labour Are In DenialLabour Education spokesman and former Liberal Democrat Andrew Adonis has demanded that Labour come out in support of free schools. What Adonis has understood, and what the Labour Party and the Campaign for State Education remain in denial about, is that the state education system is close to collapse. While lefties grizzle about state schools not sending enough ...
Many of the most famous schools in the world ¢ including Eton, Marlborough, Harrow and Dulwich College ¢ registered lower results than some of EnglandÆs worst-performing comprehensives because of technicality. According to the tables, no pupils at 142 schools achieved five A* to C grades including English and maths, while a further 26 scored below 10 per cent.

Higher Tuition Fees Will Keep Costs Down Says Cameron by Xavier Connolly
A surprise remark from David Cameron is likely to anger parents who are being forced to find thousands more to fund their children's higher education.

Selection By Stealth Or Simple Common Sense by Xavier Connolly.
The comprehensive education system has become one of the sacred cows of the "progressive left" in spite of its very obvious failure. The old Grammar School system only segregated on grounds of intelligence whereas the system now with its postcode lottery and the growth of private schools for the rich segregates on grounds of parental wealth, social class and geogrphic location. Intelligence does not enter the equation. So the selective way was more egalitarian, what are the leftie whiners on about.
More Graduates, Less Graduate Jobs
Vince Cable the coalition government's minister responsible for business and higher education has kicked off the biggest shake up in University financing in the past four decades. Since the vast and rapid expansion of higher education begun bt the Wilson government in the 1960 there has been constant growth in University funding, the number of University places available and the ...

From a Turkish News Agency: Turkey Declares War On Syria
Over the last few days we have heard how Syrian government forces and their Iranian allies, with help from Kurdish irregulars on the ground and under cover of Russian airstrikes, we on the brink of defeating ISIS in their last stronghold in western Syria, Aleppo. As this blog has predicted previously the US / Sunni Muslim coalition against Assad could not let Aleppo fall because it would involve too much loss of face for the USA, the United Nations, NATO and Barack Hussein Obama
Islamification Of Europe: Polish Priest Says Muslim Migrants Ruthlessly Bully Christian Children A priest in the German city of Leipzig who works with young migrants has revealed that Muslim children in migrant centres constantly bully their Christian counterparts. Polish Catholic priest Andreas Knapp has claimed that the majority of migrant youths in his study club are Muslim and reports that the Christian minority in the group is persecuted by Muslim children.
Clinton Crime Syndicate Involved In Green Party Recount Scam, But No Evidence Hacking Influenced US Vote.
The role of the Clinton Crime Syndicate was revealed after Elias posted a note to Hillary voters this morning on Medium confirming that they would participate in Stein's recount efforts even though the Clinton campaign itself had decided against a recount because they had "not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology.
Judge Denies Attempt To Block Obama's Transfer Of Internet Oversight To UN
October 2016: In a last ditch effort to block Obama's plan to allow the US Commerce Department to hand over oversight of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to a multi-stakeholder community - which includes the technical community, businesses, civil society and foreign governments - 4 state attorneys went to a Texas federal court alleging that the transition, in the absence of congressional approval, amounts to an illegal forfeiture of U.S. government property. Confirming once more that under Obama's Presidency the judiciary and legal system have been totally politicised, their case was thrown out on a technicality.
America's Colour Revolution? Soros And The Clintons Ready To Lead.
We know already that the mobs protesting against Donald Trump's victory in the US Presidential Election are being funded and organised by 'philantrhopic' groups sponsored by the billionaire trouble maker and Marxist activist George Soros, in fact the tactics hve a lot in common with the 'colour revolutions' seen in former Yugoslavia, Georgia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Moldova and most recently the Arab Spring countries.
Muslim Migrants: We Burn Cars Because Swedes are Racist
Picked up this essential post at the lovely Pam Geller's site. Reblogged here for enlightenment of those idiots who are saying we should give Sharia Law equal ststus with British law and if that does not happen it proves the British are racist.ThatŌĆÖs rich. The fact that Islam is not a race is seemingly besides the point.
During the first six months of 2016, migrants committed 142,500 crimes, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. This is equivalent to 780 crimes committed by migrants every day. The data includes only those crimes in which a suspect has been caught. Thousands of migrants who entered the country as "asylum seekers" or "refugees" have gone missing. Many are thought to be engaging in robbery and criminal violence.
ABC/Wapo Effectively Admit To Poll Tampering As Hillary's "Lead" Shrinks To 2-Points
A few days ago the solidly 'liberal' mainstream media were crowing that the American presidential election was all over bar the shouting and Hillary Clinton could order new curtains for The White House. As evidence of their claims they cited an ABC / Washington Post opinion poll which gave 'Crooked Hillary' a 12 point lead. The poll and Hillary's media shills are of course all as bent as a boxing day turd, if this and other big leads claimed for the Democrat are anything to go by.
Why Are British Horror Films Less Schlocky Than Hollywood's Efforts
Could it be that in Britain we make entertainment, over in Hollywood everthing is either politically correct propaganda or evangelical Chistian propaganda. Finding an article about Christian propaganda in horror films on a Yahoo group, Seers and Seekers, made me reflect on the wide and widening differences in US and British culture.
American Attempts To Demonise Russia Look More Pathetic Than Desperate
In spite of all the screeching from Hillary Clinton's campaign team, the bombast of the Obama administration and they hysteria in mainstream media it should be obvious even to a prepubescent kid whose computing skills are limited to playing games on an android tablet that the hacking of the Democrat's campaign servers, Obama's private email address and the State Department is an inside job.
Ideologue Obama Declares War On Ideologies
When the idealists of the left have top resort to suppressing the free press and free speech because they are losing the argument it is time to forget all the empty talk of hope and change, look at the track record of war and destruction and recognise these so called liberals for what they are, authorotarian tyrants.
Rotherham Council has allowed the names of four Asian men suspected of sexually exploiting a white teenager to remain secret by dropping a legal challenge to keep them away from her, it has emerged.

Muslim men who groomed and violently abused young girls in a quiet English town have been left to carry on raping girls, despite being named to the police, one of their victims has revealed in an interview. Kaitlyn (not her real name) suffered years of abuse at the hands of hundreds of men in her home town, and in locations across the UK. Yet despite handing a list of more than 80 names to the police for investigation, her attackers are still working as taxi drivers, businessmen, and even on the local council.
America Is Lost: Rigged election, Rigged Media, Rigged Candidate says Assange
To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Julian Assange's death were greatly exaggerated. After his web feed was cut by staff at the Ecuadorian Embassy earlier this week Assange's usual stream of tweets, leaks and posts was stilled. The web, being the web, went mad with conspiracy theories but Wikileaks themselves did not comment on the wilder speculation. Well Julian is back on Hillary's case, and this time it's more personal than ever.
The Real Humanitarian Crisis Is Not Confined To Syria
So the 'humanitarian crisis' as US politicians choose to call it when demonising Russia and claiming the war could be ended in a week if the Russians would only stop bombing civilians, is not a crisis of Russia and Syria's making and could be ended in a week if the USA and it's allies would simply stop supplying ISIS and Al Nusra Front terrorists with arms and ammunition.
FBI Leaks Expose Elusive "Shadow Government" Protecting Hillary In National Security Investigation
Big Foot, The Yeti and The Loch Ness monster continue to elude us but the existence of one creature previously though to be a modern myth has been confirmed when official records of its existence were revealed in documents relating to the FBI investigation into the case of former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton's negligent handling of highly sensitive classified government material on a private server.
Help! Immigrants have taken over our town, pleads German Mayor
The mayor of ski resort Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bravaria, has sent a plea for help to the regional government begging for help in tackling the problem of crime among refugees. Police officers say "blacks are in charge of the town." The letter, intended to serve as a warning to authorities in Germany's immigrant hot spots, has been sent by Mayor Sigrid Meierhofer on Sunday, according to Merkur newspaper
Out Of Touch Elites Are Clueless About The Anger Of The Masses Towards Them
The fact is the ruling elites have failed catastrophically over the past fifty years, their economic models have proved hopelessly unrealistic and had created a global economy based on ever increasing government debt. The debts have become unsustainable, governments and organisations, (i.e. government agencies, NGOs and for profit businesses) are now borrowing money in order to be able to service their existing debts.
Quitaly? Will Italy follow Britain out of the EU?
With a referendum in Italy, ostensibly on constitutional reforms but perceived as a referendum on the leadership of the ruling elite, looming in November and the anti - globalisation, pro sovereignty Five Star Party growing in popularity all the time. Should the constitutional changes be voted down, and the against campaign is showing a comfortable lead in opinion polls at the moment, it will put a Quitaly in-out referendum, similar to the so called Brexit vote that kick off the process of Britain leaving the European Union, at the top of the agenda.
Pussy Grabber versus Lying, Money Grubbing Traitor For US President?
Yesterday, too late for this British based blog to pick up, Wikileaks released by far the most devastating leak of the campaign. In any other democratic nation this would be game over. This act of treason this betrayal of three hundred million people, is in complete violation of US electoral law and makes Trump├óŌé¼Ōäós dirty talk video, that US liberals have been in hysterics about, look like an episode of The Teletubbies.

USA Backs Down In Syria As Putin Stands His Ground

China Mocks "Chaotic" US Presidential Race
With the scandals erupting around both presidential candidates on a daily basis and the rest of the world stunned at ongoing degeneration into chaos of the US political system, one country has decided the time has come to take a direct stab at what it dubs America's "arrogant democracy" and "flawed politics"- China.
Hacker Dumps Thousands Of Emails From Close Clinton Insider, Reveals Hillary's New Email Address
The data dump of Clinton emails and digital documents by Guccifer 2.0 we reported yesterday has so far proved something of a disappointment. Today however, another whistleblower site, DCLeaks, the group responsible for the massive Soros Foundation hack recently, has just released thousands of emails taken from the personal account of Capricia Marshall, a long-time Clinton associate who worked for Hillary at the State Department.
UN Peace Council: The Syria conflict is a proxy invasion by the United States
This blog and our other publications have been saying ever since the 'Arab Spring' was stirred up by a stupid, demogogical speech made in Cairo by Obama, that the US aim was a proxy war with Russia and Iran in the middle east. Look what happened since then. Secular Muslim leaders in Egypt and Libya were overthrown by US led regime change campaigns ...

Only Whites Can Be Racist? Google Rewrites Dictionary As Well As History
if we look at the Huffington Post article that 'establishes beyond reasonable doubt' it is not possible to be racist to a white person, we find the "credible" sources quoted in defense of their controversial conclusion on reverse racism is actually one black supremacist, the auteur of the 2014 film, "Dear White People." The racist hatred of whites portrayed in the film is palpable.

Sex Crimes Soar as Munich Oktoberfest Attendance Plummets
The Munich Oktoberfest world├óŌé¼Ōäós biggest beer festival held every year in the main city of Bravaria, Germany has seen attendances drop to the lowest level for 15 years.

They, Your Husband's Victims That Is, Have Names, Hillary
"Donald, she has a name," Hillary Clinton taunted during the first presidential debate of 2016. "Her name is Alicia Machado. And she has become a U.S. citizen and you can bet she is going to vote this November." Trump missed an open goal. He could have replied, "Hillary, they have many names, including Juanita Broaddrick, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Eileen Wellstone, Sally Perdue, Elizabeth Gracen, Carolyn Moffet, Monica Lewinsky, and others too numerous to list.
As Syrian Forces, Backed By Russian Airstrikes, Advance On Aleppo, Obama's Foreign Policy Catastrophe Looks Complete
The Syrian military backed by Iranian ground forces and Russian air support is closing in on rebel held parts of Aleppo, the last ISIS stronghold in the heavily populated part of Syria.

FUKUS Axis Abandon Diplomacy In Push For War With Russia
The FUKUS axis (France, the United Kingdom and the USA, regular readers may recall) were never truly interested in a diplomatic solution for the conflict in Syria. Why would they be? As this blog and our companions Boggart Abroad and The Daily Stirrer have reported many times, it is proven beyond reasonable doubt that the main terrorist group, ISIS was a product of US attempts to manipulate middle eastern politics ...
Situation In Syria Is Now Beyond Critical
You would have to have been living on another planet to fail to have noticed that while we have been away, the situation in Syria has deteriorated swiftly after the breakdown of a ceasefire agreed by the USA and Russia which lasted barely a week. All sides involved in the conflict blamed each other for breaking the ceasefire from day one but it was clear all bets were off when U.S. forces bombed Syrian government forces, killing at least 62
Migrants Consider Quitting Violent Sweden To Return To War-Zone Homelands For Safety
The Swedish ruling elite's politically correct obsession with immigrants has turned parts of this once peaceful, civilised and safe country into a lawless hell hole and borderline failed state. Perhaps the clearest indication of how bad things are in Sweden now is the news that Sweden is now so dystopian even migrants from some of the most violent and chaotic areas of Africa and the middle east want to return to their homelands
President Obama was hoping to get two trade agreements to bolster his legacy in the waning days of his administration. Earlier this week however, the German Economy Minister stated the were 'de facto dead'.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife have dreamed up this great money making scheme. They have announced they will try to eradicate all diseases by the end of the century.

Is World War Three Really Kicking Off This Time?
The airstrikes by a US led coalition that killed many Syrian soldiers fighting for the legitimate government of Bashar al Assad against the terrorist forces of ISIS has raised the level of hostile rhetoric between the USA / NATO coalition and the Russia / China / Iran alliance. The likelihood of war seemed to have receded through the summer, after it seemed possible early this year, that one stray shell or bullet could spread the war beyond the middle east.
Obama Promises UN His Legacy Will Be Global Authitarian Dictatorship
In what will be his final appearance before the United Nations, Barack Hussein Obama warned assembled national leaders they would have to be prepared to surrender sovereignty to the unelected technocrats of the globalist bureaucracy if they wanted security.Is he deluded of effing what?

Hillary's Facebook Attempt To Connect With Voters Misses Target Again
The biggest advantage Donald Trump has in the US Presidential race is that his opponent Hillary Clinton not only has a terrible reputation for being involved in dodgy dealings is but is a cold, unlikeable person who is seen as selfish, egotistical, petulant and inclined to gloat in moments of triumph. In an attempt to redress some of the harm this impression is doing to her campaign, Hillary has taken to Facebook
Negative Interest Rates & The War On Cash, Part 3: "Beware The Promoters"
Bitcoin and other electronic platforms have paved the way psychologically for a shift away from cash, although they have done so by emphasising decentralisation and anonymity rather than the much greater central control which would be inherent in a mainstream electronic currency. Despite the loss of privacy, electronic currency is much favoured by techno-optimists, but not so much by those concerned about the risks of absolute structural dependency on technological complexity.
Shock, Horror! Millennials Safe Space Violated As Facebook Algo Accident Exposes Them To Diverse Ideas

TTIP - This so -called free trade deal is a full-frontal assault on democracy
The purpose of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is not so much as to remove tariffs and other protectionist devices as to remove the regulatory differences between the US and European nations.

If This Does Not Disqualify Hillary For The Presidency, It's Hard To Know What Will
Even the conservative Wall Street Journal is waking up to the massive deception that is being perpetrated on voters by the American political establishment, media and judiciary.

Smart Phones Will Not Make Banking Safer
Yet the war on cash goes on. The latest move is to encourage people to use their smartphone to do their online banking. My first reaction on reading this was, "They're having a laugh aren't they?" laptops and tablets are ridiculously easy to hijack, smartphones don't even need to be hacked, like tired old slappers whose sexual allure has gone south, but who still crave attention, they will offer themselves without needing to be asked.
In the USA ignoring a subpoena can have similar consequences. But increasingly throught the developed world we are finding the law does not apply to everybody equally. The story of how Hillary's "personal" emails came to be deleted using, the now infamous, BleachBit, even after a subpoema had been issued requiring the Democratic Party candidate to hand over certain documents relating to her time as Secretary of State is quite the tale.

Aaron Sorkin's 'The Newsroom' returns tonight in the US on HBO for its third and final season, much to the dismay of the fans who enjoy the show.
If you're in the UK, you don't have much longer to wait though as the final episodes will air on Sky Atlantic beginning this Wednesday (12th November) at 10pm.
As we've said, the third season contains 'The Final Episodes' of the Jeff Daniels fronted show, and that leaves us feeling quite sad, especially considering that the season only has six episodes.
We've already had the opportunity to see the first three episodes, and we've previewed episode one ahead of tonight but meanwhile, executive producer Alan Poul has spoken in a new interview about why these are the final episodes, and he also discussed the season premiere.
Speaking with TVGuide.com Poul explained: "Aaron [the show's creator] was not willing to go back unless he felt he could top what we'd done in Season two.
"It was simply about taking a break, and then looking at what story was left to mine that could bring the show to a satisfying conclusion."
In episode one, which airs tonight, the real life news story the ACN team follow is the Boston marathon bombing, and of course, social media – as it does these days – played a huge part in that particular story.
"There was great confusion, suspects were misidentified, innocent people were harassed as a result of being misidentified by both the press and on social media," Alan explained.
He added that because of that, law enforcement agencies were forced to reveal information that they weren't ready to share because innocent lives had to be protected.
Poul remarked: "That entire incident became a flash point of the idea that crowd-sourcing was not necessarily a good idea for investigative journalism."
Other stories that feature tonight include that of the company ratings putting them into fourth place, the company almost being bought out, and Neal (Dev Patel) receiving some government documents that shake the core of the newsroom.
To read the interview with TVGuide.com in full then head over to their site but be warned, there are some spoilers from the premiere episode which as mentioned above, airs tonight at 9pm on HBO.

Data Center Physical Infrastructure: Optimising Business Value
To stay competitive in today's rapidly changing business world, companies must update the way they view the value of their investment in data center physical infrastructure (DCPI). No longer are simply availability and upfront cost sufficient to make adequate business decisions. Agility, or business flexibility, and low total cost of ownership have become equally important to companies that will succeed in a changing global marketplace.

EPA Getting $17 Million From Polluters to Help Cleanup Toxic Landfill in Monterey Park
A long-standing toxic landfill in Monterey Park, 10 miles east of Downtown LA, is on the verge of getting another multi-million dollar cleanup.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it is working on a settlement with 275 former polluters who would pay $17 million toward cleaning up the 190-acre area, called the Operating Industries Inc. Superfund Site (OII), which is situated near 900 Potrero Grande Drive.
While this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the $600 million in settlement money the EPA has negotiated with nearly 1,000 other responsible parties, it is nonetheless being touted as an important step in cleaning up the area.
From 1948 to 1986, according to the EPA, the site operated as a landfill where as many as 4,000 companies dumped commercial and industrial waste.

The 275 parties targeted in this latest settlement each sent between 4,200 and 110,000 gallons of liquid waste to the landfill.
"Today, landfills that accept hazardous waste must meet very strict design requirements," said the EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest Region, Jared Blumenfeld. "This was not the case with OII where hazardous materials were released into the environment."
The site has been recognized as an environmental problem since the early 1980s and was put on the National Priorities List in 1986.
The EPA says that the 30-day public comment period concerning this latest proposed settlement started January 7.

A video progress report.
Here's another walkthrough of my work-in-progress. This time, it's showing off the nearly completed drywall.
I promise the next video — which I'll do in about two weeks after they paint and clean up — will be better.
A video progress report.
Here's another walkthrough of my work-in-progress. This time, it's showing off the nearly completed drywall.
I promise the next video — which I'll do in about two weeks after they paint and clean up — will be better.
I guess I deserve that for putting so many eggs in one questionable basket.
Back in 2008, I discovered Viddler, a site for sharing videos. For some reason I've long since forgotten, I decided that it was a better way to host my blog's video content. I embraced it and uploaded dozens of videos to Viddler, embedding them in blog posts. I even went a step farther and wrote articles explaining to other WordPress uses how they could embed their Viddler videos in their blog posts.
Silly me.
Earlier this year, Viddler pulled the plug on all of its free accounts. Because I hadn't used the service for so long, they did not have an up-to-date email address for me and I did not get notification of the change. As a result, I was unable to retrieve copies of my videos from their service. Now, if I want them, I have to pay a fee.
Yes, I have to pay a fee to get copies of my own videos from their service.
Needless to say, I'm not paying.
Understand that I don't make a penny on this blog. I removed all the advertising years ago and don't even ask for donations anymore. My hosting fees are low enough that I don't mind footing the bill for that, but I simply can't pay for additional services — like those offered for a fee now by Viddler. I need to stick to low-cost or free alternatives for anything related to my blog.
A total of 65 of my blog posts contain references to Viddler and/or embedded Viddler content — including "video blog posts" I was creating back in 2009. I'll be spending some time today editing these posts to remove the bad embedding code. I suspect I'll wind up simply deleting a lot of these posts in their entirety.
There are two valuable lessons to be learned here:
At this point, anyone who has been involved in technology for at least 10 years can likely list several online services that have disappeared or changed policies. Viddler is one of the latest. It's unfortunate that I relied on them the way I did.
How I do it.
I've been fascinated with time-lapse photography for as long as I can remember — and believe me, that's a long time. I love the idea of compressing a series of still images into a short movie. But what I love more is the way it speeds up the process of things that happen slowly: clouds moving across the sky, shadows changing with sun angles, and things being built or moved. There are a lot of time-lapse movies on this site; click the time-lapse tag to explore them. I do want to stress that my time-lapse movies are very simple. If you want to see something amazing, look at the work of a master like Ross Ching's Eclectic series.
I rely on certain equipment and software tools to create my time-lapse movies. Since I've been sharing daily time-lapse movies of the construction of my home, I thought I'd take a minute to explain how I make them.
The first thing you need to create a time-lapse movie is a camera capable of snapping an image at a regular interval. These days I use a GoPro. Although I have three of these great cameras — Hero HD, Hero 2, and Hero 3 — I tend to use the oldest (the Hero HD) for this kind of work so if it's lost, damaged, or stolen, it's not a huge deal.
The GoPro has an interval or time-lapse mode that I use quite often. Because the process of building my home is relatively slow, I set it to the most amount of time between images: 1 minute.
(In the past, I've used a Pclix intervalometer — that's a time-lapse timer that triggers a shutter release on a camera at a preset interval — attached to an old Canon G5 digital camera. Again, the camera was old and worthless so if someone walked off with it, no big deal. Losing the intervalometer would have been worse.)
Power is an issue when you run a camera for hours on end. I use the GoPro Skeleton housing around the camera so I can run a USB cable to it. The cable then feeds into a window on my RV where it plugs into a power source. The added benefit is that I can remove the SD card without opening the housing and changing the camera angle. I use electrical tape to cover up the two sides of the housing to keep dust and rain out.
For time-lapse photography, it's vital that the camera be held still (or moved smoothly, if you're going for that kind of effect). That means a tripod or camera mount.
I routinely use a Pedco UltraClamp with my GoPros. I can't say enough things about this clamp-on camera mount. With a GoPro, all you need is a tripod mount adapter and you're good to go.
For my construction project time-lapse movies, I clamped it onto one of my RV slide-outs, pointing at the construction site. Easy.
Okay, so the camera has been running for hours and it has collected hundreds of images. Most of my time-lapses run from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM. That's 10 hours with 60 shots per hour. 600 images.
The images are 2592 x1944 pixels. That's way bigger than I need. In addition, I want a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is better suited for video projects these days. So I need to do some processing.
The first thing I do is run the images through a program called EasyBatchPhoto. (Remember folks, I'm using a Mac.) I have the app set up to crop the image to 1920 x 1080 — that's standard high definition. This basically crops away the edges of the image, focusing on what's in the middle. The app also slightly sharpens the image and applies a date and time stamp watermark based on the EXIF data saved with the original file. It then saves it as a medium-high quality JPEG in a folder I specify. I do this for only the images I want to include in the movie; no reason to process them all. The rest of the images are discarded when I wipe the SD card.
I should mention that you could probably do all this with another app. This happens to be the one I use. I'm sure some readers will share their solutions in the comments.
Once I have the images in a folder, I open up QuickTime Player 7, which I'd updated to the Pro version years ago. This is an old version of QuickTime. The current version does not have the feature I need, which is the Open Image Sequence command. I use that command to get a dialog box prompting me to choose an image. I select the first image in the folder containing all of the images for the movie.
I'm then prompted to set the image sequence settings — basically the frame rate for the movie. There are a lot of options on that pop-up menu. After some experimentation, I decided on 15 frames per second for this project. That compresses 10 hours worth of images into about 40 seconds. Any faster and you miss a lot of the action. When I click OK, QuickTime makes the movie and displays it in a window. After taking a look at it, I save it to disk, usually in the same folder as the images.
The last thing I do is upload the movie to YouTube. I do this with the current version of QuickTime. I just double-click the movie's icon to open QuickTime and use the share command to share it on YouTube. QuickTime prompts me for a movie description and tags. Within minutes, it's online and available to anyone who wants to see it.
The entire software process takes about 5-7 minutes and is mostly automated.
If you make time-lapse movies and use a different set of software tools, please do use the comments to share your process. It's always nice to learn about new software that might make things easier or just plain better.
Do you see now why I love what I do and where I do it?
This one video should give you not only a glimpse of what it's like to fly in a helicopter in one of the most scenic areas of Washington State, but it should give you a good idea of why I love doing what I do.
It shows the entire flight — all one minute and 47 seconds of it — from the time I depart one orchard at the top of Wenatchee Heights to the time I settle in over the trees at another orchard in Malaga. I'll admit it here: this is my favorite orchard departure path.
Enjoy this in full screen at high resolution if you can.
It's easy and it just makes sense.
I eat a lot of yogurt. I like yogurt for breakfast — especially with granola — and yogurt for snacks. I eat salad dressing with yogurt in it, enjoy frozen yogurt, and sometimes even eat flavored yogurt for dessert.
I buy plain, non-fat, Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is basically the same as regular yogurt but with a lot of the excess whey removed. You know what whey is if you've bought yogurt or cottage cheese or ricotta in a large container and used only some of it: it's the liquid that accumulates at the top after you've scooped some out.
Greek yogurt is more properly known as strained yogurt and is also called yogurt cheese or labneh. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.
Creamy, delicious Greek yogurt has become wildly popular. Unfortunately, that's causing a serious environmental problem: an overabundance of whey, the by-product that must be discarded. As this excellent article about the problem in Salon mentions, there's 2-3 ounces of whey for every ounce of Greek yogurt produced. This video explains the problem and potential solutions:
The article also suggests that you can help the environment by making your own Greek yogurt (instead of buying it) and using the whey that's produced in your own kitchen and garden.
What some Greek yogurt makers are doing to circumvent the problem is "faking" Greek yogurt by adding artificial thickeners. The article, "Greek Yogurt: What's Real & What's Not," lists the actual ingredients of many popular plain Greek yogurts. You might be surprised to learn that your favorite creamy yogurt is made that way by the addition of thickeners like corn starch and gelatin. This is covered in articles like "Greek Yogurt Wars: The High-Tech Shortcuts vs. The Purists" on The Kitchn and "High-Tech Shortcut To Greek Yogurt Leaves Purists Fuming" on NPR's The Salt.
Real yogurt should have just two ingredients: milk and active yogurt cultures such as S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei.
I don't know about you, but when I buy yogurt, I'm not interested in buying corn starch and gelatin. Take-away lesson: Read the ingredients list and make sure you're paying for what you really want.
Or make your own.
My wasband wasn't a big yogurt eater, but he told me, time and time again (as we often do in long-term relationships) that his Armenian grandfather used to make his own yogurt. I was kind of impressed, mostly because I thought it was difficult to do. That's until I stumbled onto a recipe posted by my friend Tammy on her blog. I tried it and had immediate success. Since then, I make about half the yogurt I eat.
Tammy's recipe can be found here. It's got lots of photos with the step-by-step instructions. I find myself searching for the recipe time and time again; for some reason I can't remember the important temperatures. So I've decided to put the short version here, mostly for my own reference. I recommend you stop by Tammy's site and read it there before you try it. And then leave her a comment telling her about your results. I think she'd like that. (Most bloggers do like comments.)
I don't usually include a Tools section in my recipes, but there are four that you must have (beyond what you might expect in a recipe):
At this point, the jars should contain yogurt. You can pop them in the fridge to enjoy at your leisure or "Greek" it.
My only gripe with Tammy's recipe — or at least the way it usually came out for me — was that the yogurt tended to be very runny. I don't like runny yogurt.
I started making yogurt right around the time I discovered Greek yogurt. I actually stopped making yogurt because I preferred Greek yogurt and didn't know how it was made.
Then I did some research and discovered that all I needed was one more step: strain out the extra whey.
While you could do this with cheesecloth in a strainer and make a big mess on your countertop or in your fridge, I went online to Amazon.com and bought a gadget: a Euro Cuisine Greek Yogurt Maker.
To "Greek" your homemade yogurt, add these steps to the recipe above.
Let strain for 2-4 hours, preferably in the refrigerator. The amount of time you allow it to strain will determine how thick the yogurt is. I have, in the past, forgotten about it and let it go overnight. The resulting yogurt was too thick, almost like cheese.
The removal of the whey should cut the total quantity of yogurt in half.
If you're wondering what to do with the whey, this page has some excellent suggestions. I give it to my chickens and blend it with water for my tomato plants. I also, on occasion, make it into ricotta. As you might imagine, its very high in calcium but supposedly tastes very bad on its own. I've been too cowardly to try it.
One of the most mind-blowing things about making my own Greek yogurt is the cost savings. Yesterday, I spent $1.69 on half a gallon of skim milk. I already had yogurt for the starter and can use the yogurt I made for the next starter, so there's no additional cost. This half gallon of milk will yield about a quart of Greek yogurt.
The last time I bought Greek yogurt, it cost $5.89 for a quart. So I'm saving more than $4 every time I make it instead of buy it. With two quarts a week — my average consumption — that's $416/year saved.
And you know what Ben Franklin said about saving pennies…
I have two things to add here.
First, a while back when I posted on Facebook about making yogurt and included a photo, one of my friends commented to ask, "When do you add the flavor?" Well, there's no reason to add flavor because yogurt already has flavor. It's yogurt flavor.
However, if you like to add flavor, you can always mix in some honey or a spoonful of your favorite jam or preserve. I like apricot, which I keep around mostly for a condiment on grilled pork.
And that brings up my second point, also from Facebook. A friend posted an image of a bowl of yogurt with fresh strawberries on top of it. Her caption: "This is how you flavor yogurt."
Yes, fresh fruit is the best way to do it. Don't add sugar; add more natural ingredients. It's more healthy for you and it really is quite tasty.
Do you make your own yogurt? Do you think it's worth the time?

so trustin' in god's love, i'll meet her above

I decided it was time for a new template. I also fiddled with the widgets in the sidebar, and added one that lists all my Bloglines subscriptions. There are rather more of them than I had realized.
In addition, I signed up with Technorati in hopes of getting more people I don't actually know in person reading this. It says my current rank is somewhere over a million. Me and thousands of anonymous teenage girls hiding in obscurity at the bottom of the list.
So here's a couple of neat things I found yesterday: Knit Knit, which is a 'zine about knitting and art, and Steal this Sweater, the site of one of the contributors. Very impressive use of knitting for political graphic art. My jaw dropped when I realized that the small motifs on one of the sweaters were machine guns.
