From contacts, claims and correspondence to reports, orders, invoices and service tickets, documents and files are at the heart of many business processes.
But in the new world of work—which demands anytime, anywhere access to information—your legacy processes for managing, routing and approving paper documents and electronic content can be time consuming and inefficient. They can drive up costs and introduce issues with audit and compliance. Perhaps most important, they may be preventing your people from accessing the information they need to do their jobs quickly, accurately and efficiently.
How many of your business processes are not working as well as they should? How confident are you in your current approach to addressing compliance and audit requirements—including managing document retention schedules? And how much time do you think your workers are wasting due to delays in receiving information or other process inefficiencies?
For nearly 80 years, Ricoh has been helping organizations across industries apply technology to drive speed, efficiency and innovation in the workplace. Ricoh Workflow Consulting Services for Business tap into that legacy—applying our expertise in business process consulting to help you pinpoint problematic workflows. Minimize waste.

On the "Reagan Library" GOP Presidential Debate ☀
I missed the opening (I jumped in after the big Reagan salutation break), but caught all the remainder. Other than the absurdity of a debate that's for an election that's still 15 months away, I thought the moderators (and I really loved that they trotted out the Telemundo guy — were the Republican candidates aware that he would be chiming in with immigration questions I wonder?) dished out some relevant saucy queries.
I had to split right as the shindig was ending so I did not hear the chattering TV ninnies pontificate afterwards, but here's my quick rundown:
Romney: was well polished for this, took square aim at Perry, the frontrunner at this point, he's a slimy chameleon that would say or sell anything and then say or the opposite the next day/week/year, if politically opportune. He scored points, twisting Perry's "Ponzi" social security screed into a series of repeated blows against "Obama's failed leadership". He keeps touting his private sector acumen, but did not he buy and sell ventures and squeeze out jobs for profit? I haven't seen any post-debate polling, but it sure seemed like he got some audience cheers and smoothly shifted into Obama bashing at the end of the debate. He's probably too much a flip-flopper for the core tea bagger base, but I could see him taking Obama down.
Perry: he stammered and spluttered, got put on the defensive, and only points he scored was the ghastly bit (and the audience response was just as ghoulish and blood curling) where he proudly proclaimed his stature as Colonel Texas Death. He got teamed up on too from the others, Romney seemed to be prepared with many barbs and dug into Perry, as well as several of the others but Romney, it appeared to me, went out of his way, to slice and dice Governor Goodhair. Worse than the horrifying Perry indifference and childish braggadocio is the feeling I get that's he's not actually serious about any of these stances, it's just purely party posturing ploys.
Huntsman: is anyone going to know who he is next week? Sure he was the only sane, science believing non-magical non-delusional human on stage, but his policy prescriptions for the nation's economic ills are the same 19th century solutions trotted out by the rest of the field.
Cain: why was this man even on stage? And speaking of delusions, what laundry powder is he sniffling with the babbling about Chill-AY social security privatization. I thought even the Chicago school boys had retrenched in championing those disastrous reforms.
Santorum: really? seriously? It is pathetic that this guy was actually a U.S. Senator. At least not a total tragedy as PA voters refrained from re-upping him (though he did get 2 terms!). He's about as far from reality based as can possibly be conceived…
Bachmann: …except for this one who is even further off the rail than even Santorum.
Paul: A more PC and astute Paul, who has buried his neo-confederacy sentiment and desire to abolish every federal institution. Probably the candidate that got me shouting "Right on, brother!" when he imploring to end the foreign elective invasions, stopping the insane "war on drugs", railing against the border wall nonsense spouted by the other ignoramuses and police militarization. He took the opportunity to take good some shots at Governor Goodhair, and had him reeling on his vaccination foible. But then he reverts back into absolutist "government evil", "private industry good/golden" mode and sounds like crazy 1950s John "Glenn Beck" Bircher uncle.
Gingrich: The reality that Newt has constructed about himself, his world, and political relations is vastly different than not only the reality based world, but even the perspective of those Republican cheerleaders and loyalists looking inward.
As I stated, have not read or heard a peep since the last minutes of the debate, so these are raw factcheck-less impressions, submitted for your approbation.

Consider The Urban Woodsman
George looked exactly how I expected someone who went to Yale in the 50s to look. He wore a tie every day. Round tortoiseshell glasses perched on his aquiline nose. His voice fell somewhere on the spectrum between Franklin Roosevelt and George Plimpton. George, like many of the men in his family before him, was a Yalie; a fact he brought up on an almost hourly basis. He also often mentioned his partner, Douglas, who had passed away a decade before. One specific story revolved around George's embarrassment when Douglas, a Dartmouth student, visited him at school for the first time. Assuming George was alluding to the difficulties of introducing a boyfriend to friends in Eisenhower-era New Haven, I made some remark about how hard that must have been for him.
"It was," George responded. "He wore boots just like yours all the time." He pointed at my L.L. Bean duck boots. "You wear those things if you're going hiking in the woods. You don't wear them to walk Bucky in the city," he said, referring to the Pomeranian he paid me seven dollars an hour to walk.
I was reminded of this conversation a month as I was looking at a post on Brooks Brothers' Rogues & Gentlemen blog. Titled "Fall Essentials – Urban Woodsmen," the post featured, alongside "indispensable" prep pieces like the tweed sport coat and the "updated knitted tie, items like a vintage-looking canvas rucksack, a navy puffer vest, and Red Wing boots (which Brooks Brothers now carries). These pieces of clothing, the copy explained, are ideal for "strolling down the streets of Manhattan or chopping down trees."
The meeting of Ivy Style and rustic Americana is emblematic of the coasts moving inward to aesthetically meet in the Middle West; this is a considerable sea change for brands like Brooks Brothers. If those that historically cater to the 1% are offering styles borrowed from the 99%, what does that say about the brands' evolution? George died four years ago, but as I read that post I pictured him turning over in his grave (along with an entire generation of former Ivy Leaguers) at the very thought that one of the pillars of the traditional Ivy League look was promoting navy puffer vests and work boots, both items of clothing that wouldn't have cut the mustard for George. The generation he belonged to defined the traditional Ivy League look: custom-made suits, button-up shirts with button-down collars, ties and cuffed pants without pleats. And while we've all come to expect the woodsman look in Brooklyn (or on "Portlandia"), it's finally drifting uptown, in a metaphoric sense. It took a while, but the plaid shirts and thick woolen wears of the New England weekend meanderer and the Minneapolis logger have coalesced with the traditional urban prep look, to the point that it's getting hard to tell the two styles apart anymore.
This represents a pretty big shift for a company that in 1991 had George Plimpton write the copy for a six-page advertisement in The Atlantic. Plimpton extolled the company's "brand of elitism," and seemed shocked that Brooks Brothers had deigned to start selling blue jeans.
Brooks Brothers' most recent embrace of the urban lumberjack look—a willingness to get their hands dirty, also—highlights an enthusiasm among sartorially-minded gentlemen to embrace a more relaxed idea of what formal dress can be (the flannel shirt is fine for the office if you pair it with a knit tie and tweed sport coat), and it also shows the latest evolution of the American preppy look. Once strictly an aesthetic native to old-money New Englanders and their kids en route to prep school and East Coast colleges, now Barbour hunting jackets are as acceptable part of daily wear in fall as pastel tennis shirts are the summer. Even Gant, another brand launched out of New Haven in the late 1940s, has seen their fortunes turn around thanks to a popular partnership with designer Michael Bastian, a guy who describes his influence as "deep-woods preppy." It's a look influenced by his growing up on Lake Ontario, not time spent at Yale.
Paging through the book Ivy Style, a history of Ivy League dressing forthcoming from Yale Press, you get the feeling that the traditional preppy look hasn't really changed all that much from the look's Golden Age in the late 1950s to mid 60s. If you look at pictures of students from Yale, Harvard and Princeton from the interwar years to the early 1960s (think Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise to Animal House's wayback style, for pop-culture points of reference) you see jackets and ties, everyday guys dressed up in a way that might mark them as a dandy today. But as America relaxed culturally in the 1960s, you began to see the ties and jackets disappear, save for the sort of students who voted for Nixon and worshipped William F. Buckley. By 1968, Yale had abolished its jacket and tie dress code that had been instituted in 1952 to combat "Disorderliness" and "Sloppiness." But even before the revolutionary days of the late '60s hit Yale, the other Ivies started to mark a decline in the suit and tie look. As Richard Press, grandson of J. Press founder Jacobi Press—the other major supplier of wears for the traditional Ivy look—told me of his days at Dartmouth in the last years of the 50s, unless you were going to a formal event, "If you dressed up with a jacket and tie you looked like a shmuck in most circumstances."
The 1970s weren't the Ivy look's best decades: long hair, beards, bellbottoms and t-shirts became commonplace. Young Republicans shopped at Brooks Brothers, Gant, Fenn-Feinstein and J. Press for their suits, penny loafers and button-down collar shirts. It wasn't until the early 80s that America at large once more warmed to the preppy look. The satirical book, The Official Preppy Handbook, was a bestseller, and the Reagan-worshipping Alex P. Keaton of the television show "Family Ties" looked snazzy in his sport coats and suspenders. Along the way, even Andy Warhol traded in his leather jacket for a coat and tie from Brooks Brothers. As the country embraced conservatism, men's style followed suit (both literally and metaphorically). After a period of slumber, the Ivy style had come roaring back—and not much had changed. Reagan promised to deliver us safely to the prosperity of the post-war years, Jerry Rubin went from yippie to yuppie, and "earthy" and "laidback" gave way to wide ties, pinstripes and shined shoes.
But while pinstripes and Ralph Lauren Polo shirts were all the rage among adults, the younger American preppy was comfortable mixing up the dressed-down look of their parents' generation, but in a clean-cut way: Ski gear was worn off the slopes, and Maine Hunting Shoes were worn on the sidewalks of big cities. In 1984, Eddie Bauer teamed with Ford to create the very popular Bronco 2 SUV. And that same year, the first suburban lumberjack heartthrob came in the form of Jake Ryan, the wealthy, plaid-shirt-wearing object of affection for Molly Ringwald's character in Sixteen Candles. Played by then-23-year-old Michael Schoeffling, Jake Ryan is essentially the patron saint of the urban lumberjack. Ryan's ensembles included Oxford shirts under sweater vests with jeans, a pair of work boots and a clean preppy haircut. Whether he knew it or not, John Hughes was doing something more than making some of the greatest teen movies ever; he was telling the world it was perfectly fine to mix preppy with workwear. Jake Ryan may not have been the first urban lumberjack on film, but he remains the greatest, as well as a counterweight to the preppy rich kids of Hughes' Pretty in Pink, Andrew McCarthy and James Spader.
The 1990s gave new meaning to the phenomenon. Pacific Northwest bands like Tad and Mudhoney wore flannel shirts and jeans. Nirvana sold millions of albums and suddenly the grunge look was seen everywhere from your local Kmart to the Perry Ellis New York Fashion Week runway, where Marc Jacobs introduced his grunge-inspired collection for spring/summer 1993 to the world. But while grunge came and went in the span of a few years, the even bigger change to American menswear during the Clinton era was the growing ascendancy of Abercrombie & Fitch in malls across America. A&F, long a sporting and hunting-supply company, underwent a total rebrand in the early 90s. No longer was it the store where Ernest Hemingway shopped to buy bullets for his rifle; now they were in the business of selling high-end and high-priced merchandise in a frattish style (or "neo-preppy" as Women's Wear Daily dubbed it ). While some may scoff at the suggestion, A&F going from hunters to frat boys was an important step in the progression of the urban woodsman.
These days, commenting on the hairy-faced gentlemen walking down the street in a major city has become passé. Yes, lots of guys have beards. Yes, you can see them all wearing black-and-red-checkered shirts as they lope along, carrying bags filled with artisanal this and that. They may look like they're coming home from a weekend hunting trip, but they're more likely on their way to their MFA program or band practice, dressed up in whatever Made in the USA gear A Continuous Lean is hyping that week. The look isn't new, but now the menswear old-boy establishment is finally getting around to embracing the scruff.
So how did these two looks become intertwined? Maybe it's a tonic for the allegedly growing American masculinity crisis. Putting on a pair of work boots to go sit in the office imparts a sense of gruff virility to the day that a normal pair of bucks don't. Wearing a Carhartt jacket over your shirt and tie is tougher and closer to the popular conception of what is macho; therefore, so is the guy wearing the getup.
Nor can the Internet's involvement be understated. Now we can easily see what everybody else is wearing. The barriers to entry when it came to style have been demolished by the egalitarian nature of the web—even if you're not at an Ivy, you can see the look online. The same goes for guys generally stuck shopping from the ivory tower. There are a thousand Tumblrs and wannabe Bill Cunninghams and Scott Schumans out there to showcase each style and how they interact and influence each other across different continents and cultures.
All of those things lend themselves to the trend, but the real explanation is simple evolution.

Consider the woodsmen of the urb': they chop not; neither do they saw.
<---- Shopping Semi-Ironically at Tractor Supply Company Since 2002
Dressing like a Maine woodsman is not a new thing for the preppy; that's what you wear doing this and that around the camp in summer or chopping wood at Christmas.
The new thing here is the dire financial situation of Brooks Brothers over the last 20 or so years. They can no longer get by as a seller of shirts and suits for men. So their (then new) British owners a few years back introduced women's clothes and (even more) casual clothes and now their current Italian owners are trying to make them a one-stop lifetyle shop selling boots and what have you alongside everything else. That is, now BB also sells what you would normally have bought at LL Bean or Orvis. It's not a change in style it's a change in brand management and retailing.
@My Number Is My Address : Agreed. And, from the same motives but in the opposite style direction, you have the Thom-Browne-designed "Brooks Brothers Black Fleece" line which is basically trad-as-satire.
@My Number Is My Address Agreed also. Retail economics has a lot to do with it, and always has: at least according to company lore, the reason Leon Leonwood Bean started selling "button-up shirts with button-down collars" at his Freeport store is that there was unmet demand for them–weekend rustics wanted to grab a clean shirt for work on their way back to the cities, and he wanted to grow his business, which meant diversifying. (Full disclosure: I worked for L.L.Bean Signature and am wearing a pair of their heels right now.)
I also find it helps to have a $250 glass dome with a piece of moss under it on your unfinished wood furniture, and either a skull or a pair of antlers on the wall.
@Mount_Prion Fuck your $250 glass dome with a piece of moss under it.
Alas, I thought this was going to be about the ethics of eating the urban woodsman.
@barnhouse: Infinite Vest?
@barnhouse Jake Ryan: would let him.
@Kevin Knox probably
When Promo Photos Irk: Jake and Samantha were *not* dating at that point in the film, so they shouldn't have their arms around each other. They don't get together until she's in the bridesmaid dress and he's dressing up the lumberjack with a preppy sweater vest.
In other news, Jake Ryan ruined me for all other men.
Carry on.
@rj77: Michael Schoeffling (the actor who portrayed Jake) "now lives with his wife, Valerie L. Robinson of Virginia, also a former model, and their two teenage children Scarlet and Zane, in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania, producing handcrafted furniture as the owner of a woodworking shop."
So he is now totally a preppy lumberjack in real life. FORESHADOWING!
this seems as good a place as any to post this fucking bullshit, which continues to make my blood boil some 2 years on since first seeing it.
@iantenna : For those days when you can't decide if you want to chop down a tree or play croquet.
@Gef the Talking Mongoose That fucking ax. It enrages me!
@wb The brass coke bullet is pretty cool though.
@iantenna I bet they sell the watchbands I like. Save me a trip to Murray's…
Having grown up in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago (one of America's great bastions of preppydom) during the 70s, I remember that whether one was a "freak" or a "jock"(and one had to be either one or the other unless they were "greaser gear-heads") one wore (STRICTLY) Levis courderoys or jeans and Hudson Bay flannel shirts almost. School books and drug paraphenalia were carried almost exlusively in authentic "Duluth packs"(SERIOUS green canvas and leather North Woods camping back packs) and on our little suburban feet were worn giant Vibram-soled Frankenstein-like hiking boots or authentic sole-less Indian moccasins obtained during summer visits to friends' family lodges in authentic Indian-riddled Northern Wisconsin. Winter outerwear was almost exclusively olive-green arctic parkas with the wolf-fur hood lining. Belts, when worn, were to be of hand-tooled THICK leather and Indian-bead varieties.
Of course, during summer (all 70 days of it back then in pre-global warming Chicago) the wardrobe was exclusively IZOD shirts (of all colors and pastel shades – including pink for boys without threat of beatings) or flannel shirts with cut-off sleaves but always combined with cut-off Levis jeans or canvas canoeing pants with sewn-on flannel or Indian-bead patches.
Formal wear came rarely (funerals) but exclusively from Fell & Co. on Green Bay Road in downtown (VERY JEWISH) Highland Park – which was OK because the salesmen and tailors were all Europeans. Or, of course, Marshall Fields State Street (next door to Brooks Brothers AND Abercrombies where one went exclusively for safari and hunting gear)
Upon graduation, those that didn't get into U of Colorado/Boulder went to Alaska where flannels could be flown year-round.
Just sayin! We were a very seriously lumberjacked-out generation. We also coordinated well with our moms' rustic Ford Country Squire (fake wood sided) station wagons, too!
Did I mention the Oshkosh-My-Gosh denim overall "renegade" look that taught us that fashion really could hurt? When I came out of the closet as a butch homo in 78 I didn't have to buy a thing.

Brightness behaviour in 9
I bought for a colleague a new 17' display of Apple for an older G4 tower. Problems: It needed a new AGP video card with DVI support on it, and of course I needed a DVator to put the screen to the G4.

The Olympics are over and everyone has a plan for their team to make the playoffs. Well, here's mine. It's my opinion, like it or not, but the numbers work. You hear alot about a 3-year plan, a 5-year plan, etc. Well, I have a 2-week plan that will guarantee the Blue Jackets a playoff berth if they follow it to a tee.
The Blue Jackets currently sit in 9th place in the Eastern Division with 63 points. Now, to reach the playoff I believe they need to end the season with at least a total of 95 points. Anything more than that is a higher seed, which is always a good thing. Here's how they do it.
The first 2-week period is Feb 27th through March 15th. Actually 18 days, but we'll call it a 2 week period for this excercise. Now, in this period the Blue Jackets will play 10 games, with 2 back-to-back nights. A total of 20 points are up for the taking. My math says that if the Jackets can get 14 of the 20 points over this period, they're well on their way to the playoffs. That being said, there are 4 points out of that 20 that will be very hard to get, whch are the 2nd game of each back-to-back series. Historically the Jackets dont perform well on the 2nd straight game, so I can't really count those.
Of those 10 games in this period, only 4 are home games in Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets defend Nationwide very well, so there's 8 out of the 14 points. Of the remaining 6 away games, I believe the Jackets have a great chance to defeat the New Jersey Devils tomorrow night, and also the Nashville Predators and the Minnesota Wild in enemy territory. Thats the 14 points in that 2-week period needed to keep the plan in place.
Part 2 of the 2-week plan coming up in a few days after the Jackets beat the Devils tonight.

Presidents Cup captains Fred Couples and Greg Norman have Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker of the U.S. facing K.J. Choi and Adam Scott (caddied by Woods' long-time bag man and recent-term adversary Stevie Williams) in the first group of pairings on Thursday, the first day of the 9th Presidents Cup…which is actually Wednesday night prime-time in the States.
Granted this news doesn't have the far-reaching potential financial consequences as the currently topical Penn State sex scandal or the NBA Lockout.
But Golf Channel executives, as well as network and event advertisers, are likely giving Captains Couples and Norman a vigorous golf clap right now in approval of their team selections for the opening day of competition.
Given what has transpired between Mr. Woods and Mr. Williams over the last several months – including public disputes over the account of how Mr. Williams was let go to the caddie's recent ethnic jab at the golfing star during a caddie roast as well as his verbal exuberance after his first tournament victory with Mr. Scott – one could say that the energy on the first tee Thursday afternoon Melbourne time among the men in that group might be slightly heightened.
And ratings will reflect it.
The Golf Channel has exclusive U.S. coverage of the matches Wednesday through Friday with live coverage tonight. If my math is correct, the Woods/Stricker v Choi/Scott match should start in prime-time around 10 PM EST/9 PM CST.
Jackpot…so say the sponsors.
The network's sponsors.
As well as sponsors of any companies endorsed by Mr. Woods, Mr. Stricker, Mr. Choi, or Mr. Scott that might be visible on their equipment or on their apparel.
The Presidents Cup still isn't the Ryder Cup.
And golf isn't football.
So in the grander scheme of sports TV ratings, we shouldn't expect any ratings records to be broken on Wednesday night.
Nonetheless, the Golf Channel, its sponsors, and the players' sponsors are all smiles thanks to the strategic pairing by Mr. Couples and Mr. Norman which by my estimation will boost ratings for the opening day's coverage between 10-20% of what it would have been had the captains been less aware of the drama that might unfold from this pairing.
Good onya, men.

Customer Service in the Digital Age – Apple Computer
February 22, 2012 / By: Allan, Zephyr Adventures OwnerTweet
It was a busy day today, so I decided to walk the mile to the Apple Store since I was not going to have time for my workout.
I always approach the Apple Store with some trepidation, since it is so busy, and my expectations were met by the large crowd inside. None of the iPad-toting Apple minions who serve as greeters were looking up from their electronic gadgets, so I continued to the back of the store, looking for a power cord I could use to replace the faulty one I had.
Finally, a manager approached and asked if I needed help. I explained my Mac power cord was faulty and that I understood there was a recall on these Apple items, since they had the ability to go kaput.
The nice young guy told me he couldn't help me and that I had to see a "Genius" at the back of the store but that they were busy and I couldn't make an appointment for another hour. I was sort of flabbergasted, since I just wanted to swap the cord for a new one so I could return to work. The manager would not relent at all, saying he couldn't do this. I explained to him I didn't think a genius was required to pull a new part out of the back of the store but, in the end, I spent an hour walking around the stripmall since it wouldn't make sense to walk home and then have to drive back again.
Ultimately, I spoke to a "Genius" who helped me in about five minutes, something Target or Walmart could have done without an appointment and with their regular, run-of-the-mill, non-genius staff.
I love my Macbook and often tell people the only thing on it that crashes is my Microsoft software. Nevertheless, I think Apple is simply too big now and their customer service scheme, which is clearly designed to handle the massive number of customers, is not good. What would I suggest? Two things:
1. Don't make everyone make an appointment (which they want you to do on their app or iPhone) to see a customer service rep. They need to have at least some people available to handle basic requests.
2. Train all their staff to do all the jobs, since any of the 30 staff in the store should have been able to hand me another power cord. See my article on my local restaurant Mountain Sun in Eat Drink Boulder for an example of a small business that does this.
How does this apply to Zephyr Adventures? I am not really sure. Our travelers do not get treated like one pea in a massive pod, so I don't think we have that problem. And if you call us up, we'll listen to your needs or requests and try to handle it one-on-one.

One comment on "Customer Service in the Digital Age – Apple Computer"
I just went through the same ill fated customer service dilema at the AT&T store today. I had a simple return and I had to stand at the front of the store while the greeter checked me in on her iPad and then a manager came up to greet me with another employee behind her that escorted me to the back of the store to make the return. The return required two other employees to actually make the return including the manager and then I was escorted back to the front by that employee and the manager held the door open for me when I left. I really didn't want an 'experience' I just wanted to make a return. Have to admit I too thought of all the other retail stores where returns are simple.

drive space is full and file sizes are low
computer is a HP Pavlion DV 7. Intel core i3. 6 gb ram. have two of the same computers. only difference is, one has a second hard drive (500gb) dedicated for My Documents.
The second hard disc gets full, yet adding up the files sizes, the total actual file size is low (~175 gb). The used space was ~450 gb. I have reformated this second disc and copied back all of My Documents. After this, the used space was ~175 gb. After two months time it is up to 285 gb used. still the actual files on this drive only add up to ~175 gb. The primary (system) disc is 280gb in size and has 113 gb used. this has NOT changed for a year. The primary disc has the system and other software ONLY on it.
The second computer without the second hard drive is full also.
It appears that the operating system bloats My Documents with something like Dark Matter, unseen stuff that fills the hard drive.
This has never happened using Windows XP over the many years and computers.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?
|My System Specs
|15 May 2011
Perhaps you have your "system restore" option set ON for you data partition. Since you're always updating your data, Windows is retaining what might be considered "silent recovery" versions of previous data, in case you have a problem or decide to restore to a "restore point" in time.
You probably need to adjust your settings for this type of "protection", either to disable it entirely for your data drive or at the very least to reduce its size.
(1) Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> System, and then click on the "Advanced System Settings" on the left side.
You'll then get a System Properties window, and you should select the "System Protection" tab. Select the second drive letter, which I'm guessing should say "ON" for its protection.
The "ON" results in data regularly going into the "System Volume Information" folder on the drive, which grows regularly over time and needs to be "constrained".
(2) Your choice is either (a) turn it OFF completely, or (b) limit its size before it starts deleting the oldest/obsolete "system restore point" versions, retaining only the most recent for your use in case you want to restore your data using one of these.
Of course you need to look at the date/time stamps on these when and if you ever do want to restore from these, but at least they're there if you need them, and they've been constrained in total accumulated size so that your second hard disk will not be "eaten up" as you've seen.
(a) to turn it off, just push the "configure" button and set it OFF:
(b) to leave it on but constrain its total size, just push the "configure" button and move the "max usage" slider to the left from where it currently is, to some reasonable smaller size. You will see that max limit expresses as a percentage of your hard disk size, as well as a number of GB. Pick a small enough number so that it is reasonable, but also adequate. Maybe the 2-6% number is reasonable, depending on your disk partition size.
Note that in my own situation, I have disabled this feature entirely on D, and constrained my restore point size to about 1GB on C. I have my own 3rd-party backup software scheme in place to perform my own "private backups" of everything anyway, from which I can recover data if I need to. I prefer this approach to the "restore point" feature of Windows, as a general rule... certainly for my non-C data partitions.
(1) C partition, showing non-zero "constrained" System Volume Information folder:
(2) D partition, showing ZERO size System Volume Information folder:

Also try to defrag. Start->accesories->system tools->defrag. Should give you some more space.
You can also try deleting temp files:
Start->accesories->system tools->Disk cleanup? (my os is in spanish, dunno what it is called in eng)
Clean up the temporary files, but nothing else.
Helped me once to get 60GB back after not having done those things in 3 years
|My System Specs

the second hard drive (G) protection is off.
the drive is not fragmented it shows 0%
the primary drive (C) is on.
|My System Specs
|15 May 2011
Otherwise, just "attach" the screenshot to your post, using the paperclip ("attach") button.
Anyway, if you say that protection is off on the second drive then there's nothing more to show. You're saying the entire second drive is one partition, G. Yes?
Instead of sheer speculation, let's see what your G partition actually contains.
Please download and install one of the versions of Treesize. There's a basic Treesize Free, or a non-Free Treesize Personal, or a non-Free Treesize Professional. The latter two have 30-day free trials.
Then run Treesize on your G partition, selecting the "Details" tab as I've shown earlier in my own screenshots.
This will show you EXACTLY what your drive is currently being used by, with largest first and smallest last (unless you change the display sequence to something else).
|My System Specs
|16 May 2011
here is another screen shot using windows explorer
|My System Specs
|16 May 2011
You're using your G drive as the target for "Windows Image Backup". That's where you're placing your "system image" when you take a "system image" backup.
This "system image" (whose approximate size is revealed just before you actually begin the backup process) is about as big as your C-partition contents, plus your 100MB "system reserved", plus any other partitions you optionally also include in that "system image" backup.
And you're writing it to G. That's what is taking up the space on G labeled "WindowsImageBackup" folder... the current utilization on your C-drive.
Now... you'll notice that there are three folders on G which are "access denied". Apparently you are a different user than "administrator", because this shouldn't be the case. But the 0MB utilization is not real... it's just that Treesize couldn't peer inside the folders because of the authorization issue.
If you log on with the same userid that ran the "system image" backup, you'd then see the REAL size from Treesize.
Same story with "System Volume Information". You've stated that you have "restore point protection" set to OFF for G, so it's probably 0 for real. But you can't really tell yet, because "access is denied" prevents looking inside to get the true current usage for that folder.
Same story with "GREG-PC" folder. What's that? And why is it a different user so that again we see "access is denied"?
But in my opinion the vast majority of usage that you cannot account for is in the "system image" in the WindowsImageBackup folder.
Until you can see inside of those three "access is denied" folders, you can't actually see what they take up. But the Properties window shows it to be a total of about 304GB (used) - 161GB (free) = 143GB (in those three folders). If you look at the "used" on C-partition I think it will probably be close, maybe? Unless you really have a great deal in your System Volume Information "restore points for the drive" that got placed there before you set protection on G to OFF. Or, maybe it's really zero and all of that 143GB is from C's "system image" backup.

|Thu, 01-17-2008 - 1:22pm
I will admit that I'm an idiot! My husband and I had to get out of our neighborhood so we decided to buy a house. It was time anyway. We've been married since 2005 and living in a 2 bedroom apt. I decided that I should go to LPN school because I wanted a career with a purpose and a decent paying job that would pay for the mortgage in case my husband lost his job. The LPN program was horrible and people dropped out in droves! I tried to give it more time but decided that I didn't want to get my nursing license from this place. I'm trying to get my nurses' aide license in the meantime so I can work. Before I dropped out my husband kept hinting around that he wanted kids. I'm 34 and the clock is TICKING! I feel like I can't do it it all and my life is out of control. The positive thing is that my husband just got a raise today. I don't have to work but I've always felt that marriage should be equal. He works too hard. I feel guilty. If he wants to have a child then it makes no sense to complete the LPN program anyway. I would have to stay home with the baby since I have no family to help watch the baby while I'm at work. I don't like the concept of daycare. I also weigh about 190 and have been trying to lose weight before I had a baby. Some people say not to bother to lose the weight. I know I should only gain about 15 to 20lbs during pregnancy since I weigh 190. I wasted all this money and time on this nursing program. Also, after seeing some of these rude, unhappy nurses who are competitive beyond belief (instead of trying to focus on the patient) I don't know if I want to pursue this profession.
I think I have superwoman syndrome. I don't think it's possible to have it all.
Can motherhood really be a career? Deep down I still feel guilty that my husband will be the only one working.
|Thu, 01-17-2008 - 1:28pm
Your original concern about what would happen if your husband lost his job seems to have gotten lost. Do you now have sufficient reserves so that if he did (and is there a likelihood of that in the near future) you'd be OK? What about health insurance and all that.
Motherhood is wonderful but it almost sounds like you are considering this because you can't figure out what else you want to do with your life.
|Thu, 01-17-2008 - 1:53pm
Well, Perhaps I'm on the wrong board but I think I would be happy being a stay at home mom. Why is society making me feel guilty for that?
I don't want people to get the wrong idea. I eventually do want to have a child. I was just taught that you should have your career and finances in order first. That doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen. I'm tired of chasing the dream of a career. My clock is ticking and I don't want that opportunity to pass by either.
I'm looking for support and not for people to be rude. If I was looking for rude people I would enroll back in school and hang out in the nurses lounge!

You say you're tired of trying to find a career, and you're only in your thirties? You're too young to be so discouraged!
|Thu, 01-17-2008 - 5:41pm
I would find that compass and figure out what you really want before you proceed with any changes. Do you want a child or children? You don't mention wanting any, just that your dh is hinting about it. How about having a good conversation with him about it and do some thinking about it yourself. Yes you do have to take age into consideration, but you kind of sound like well this nurse thing didn't work out & maybe I want too much so maybe I don't know if I could have it all. Who the heck cares about having it all? Nobody does, becuase for one thing, we all want different things. So please scrap that notion.
And the idea that your career and finances need to be all straightened out before you have kids--well you don't have to. The finances yes, that's good to have them in good shape, especially if you are going to sah. Are you going to sah long term, short term--meaning for a year & then put them in daycare? Until all kids are in school full time & then you'd only need a part time daycare arrangement. Or until they are out of high school & never go back to work--pretty unusual these days, but decide what you really want and what you can really afford. If you are going to sah & want to start having kids now, then no the career training can be put off for awhile.
Anyway, I would start with some counseling/soul searching & conversations with your dh. Then go from there.

Quote from Sears.com :Power Tools and Accessories
California requires the following notice:
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Agnieszka Polska
- 18 October 2014 — 4 January 2015 *on now
Polish artist Agnieszka Polska is interested in the processes by which things come to be forgotten, whether through lack of archiving or deliberate political amnesia – particularly in the post-War era when communist societies became capitalist.
Her beautifully crafted animated videos revisit forgotten events in art or general history. She also examines how things are recreated in the present through myth, memory and imagination.

Raphael Hefti

He burns plant spores over photographic paper, so that the images look like exploding stars. By multiplying the processes used to make glass he creates beautiful sculptures. His work is minimalist, but suggests the cosmic.
