I needed to get some files onto my iPhone 3G S so I could travel with them and read them. Not so much edit them, although some programs do the same. My main issue was this, could I put files on my iPhone for later reading fairly easily? And for access without needing to be on WiFi to access the data. The answer is yes, but it depends on the application you're working with. I tried several, and here is my quick review of them [all are available at the iTunes Apps store, some for free]:
Read this on another list. A sad tale of lost data despite the person's having two methods of backing up. Murphy's Law truly exists
"I went on vacation and upon return the server storing the file "died" because of a defective hard disk rendering the data inaccessible. At the same time, believe it or or not, the backup NAS storage device (4 hd, raid w/parity) suffered a physical defect also rendering the backup data inaccessible. The data on the server is gone for good, as the drive is fatally dead,non repairable and beyond any hope. The NAS backup has hope left"
Robert Reich explains it all. "WHAT CAN I DO???"
This is a great new feature. I wanted to find an email from my daughter and put her name in and up popped all the emails to and from her. Better yet, I wanted to know if I had an application on my iPhone that would provide translation when overseas...put the root of the word "transl..." in and up popped two apps that did that..great feature!!!
Informed Comment Shared via AddThis - Jonathan Lyon's discussion of the religious history of Iran and the contending views of clerics and how they view the 'Supreme Leader' - recommended reading
With the supreme leader’s address to Friday prayers in Tehran affirming the election result and warning protesters to stay off the streets, it is hard to see how the protests can end in anything but a violent crackdown. Any move in that direction will certainly increase the pressure on President Obama, now chiefly from the neo-cons but likely to spread, to “do something” to support the protesters. In the current circumstances, however, any White House response is virtually certain to backfire and will only entangle the United States in a struggle it cannot see or fully understand. The West must not allow itself to be so destracted by the political street theatre in Iran that it falls back on its default position – that the end of clerical rule is at hand.
It would serve us well to remember Iran, like it or not, is a sovereign country and the last time we 'meddled' with such a country in Iran was and is a disaster. And we might want to remember what has happened in this and other countries when we've tried to insert ourselves into political issues in another country.
If your favorite celebrity were coming to your house for dinner, what would be the main course and why?

My husband grills a mean salmon and it's delicious and good for you as well.
Not my brilliance, but the brilliance of Mac OS X [although I am sure there is a way to do this with other systems, I don't know about that but just learned and did this] and it just blew me away.
Meaningful & well said.
All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort - a sustained effort - to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.
It is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward; to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path. There is also one rule that lies at the heart of every religion - that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This truth transcends nations and peoples - a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian, or Muslim or Jew. It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the heart of billions. It's a faith in other people, and it's what brought me here today.
We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written.
The Holy Koran tells us, "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."
The Talmud tells us: "The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace."
The Holy Bible tells us, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."
The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God's vision. Now, that must be our work here on Earth. Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
Having a couple to toss I checked with Iowa DNR and online. You can drive way out to Bondurant to the recycling center there or, better yet, go to Home Depot and dispose of them there:
At each The Home Depot store, customers can simply bring in any expired,
unbroken CFL bulbs, place them in a plastic bag and deposit them both into a collection
unit. The bulbs will then be managed responsibly by an environmental management
company who will coordinate CFL packaging, transportation and recycling to maximize
safety and ensure environmental compliance. Customers will be able to locate the CFL
receptacle on the front end of the store near the entrance, by the Returns desk or near the
exit doors inside the store.
Go to the Home Depot Eco Options page for further information.
