I, like _MANY_ other mac users (ex-windows users or not) am baffled that such a full featured OS as OS X could possibly not have the easy ability to merge folders, when you drag one folder into another folder that contains a folder of the same name…
Anyway, just cuz i am baffled, mystified, annoyed etc… my emotions don’t magically create OS updates that solve my problem.
So i got into some applescript. It may not be elegant, but it does something potentially useful to some of you.

It is designed to be used in an Automator workflow in a Run Applescript action box, which is directly connected to a Move to Trash action box. In finder two windows much be open, just as it should be if we were allowed to CONTROL-SHIFT drag the folders over.
There is a confirmation of the destination directory (”window 2″ which is the back window) {beware of the expandable panes and list views, this script takes the target of the window - NOT the selection}

I initiate the script by finding the destination in one finder window, then switching to the source folder and selecting and right clicking (multiple selection is fine) the folders i want to merge into the destination folder. {remember it takes the contents of the source folders}

global the_output
on run {input, parameters}
set the_output to ""
tell application "Finder"
set tgtWin to window 2
set tgtpath to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of tgtWin as alias))
end tell
display dialog "tgt: " & tgtpath
repeat with i in input
set srcpath to (quoted form of POSIX path of (i as alias))
do shell script "rsync -au --stats " & srcpath & " " & tgtpath & " | grep 'files:'"
set the_output to the the_output & result & "\n"
end repeat
display dialog the_output & " delete src?"
return input
end run

from EathTrends : Offsets Alone Are Not Enough

The retail carbon offset market is growing rapidly as explained in A Consumers Guide to Retail Carbon Offset Providers. Along with the Tufts Climate Initiative report, this publication is one of the first methodological attempts to provide the public with accurate information concerning retail carbon offsets and the companies that provide them. The authors estimate that for less than $100 a year, most Americans can offset their personal GHG footprint. However, it stresses that consumers should first reduce their carbon emissions by driving less, using smaller vehicles, buying energy efficient appliances and using less electricity. They suggest that if a consumer purchases carbon offset services, they should do so in combination with reducing overall energy use. The surest way to reduce your impact on the climate is to reduce emissions yourself.

WOW!

I hope you have time to go over to http://www.defenders.org/
and write something like i did:

Hopefully you are already aware of technologies like:

information such as:

and organizations like:

As a constituent, a supporter of Defenders of Wildlife and someone who cares about protecting wildlife and promoting real energy solutions, I strongly urge you to oppose any legislation that would dramatically expand oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Earlier this year, the Senate passed legislation that would open up as much as eight million new acres in the Gulf of Mexico to harmful oil and gas drilling (S. 3711). Now it’s your turn to weigh in on this bill.

The pollution and increased ship traffic that comes with new drilling could be disastrous for sea turtles, whales, dolphins and other wildlife in the area. Worse, it represents yet another hand-out to big oil companies, rather than the forward-looking, environmentally sustainable energy policy that our country deserves.

I urge you to oppose this bill and support real solutions to America’s energy needs, such as increased fuel efficiency and new innovation in clean, renewable energy sources.

WOW:

someone (the “agent”) sat physically IN this scene, and someone else (the “percipient”) who was physically ELSEWHERE, and mentally uninformed about where the agent was, spoke the words (written here atop the scene):

again WOW.
Also 650 trials over 25 years of research have a 3 parts in 10 billion chance to be generated by “chance”… as if any of us still believe that “chance” exists ;-)
the full white paper is here:
http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/pdfs/jse_papers/IU.pdf
this paper reveals that:

(sorry the spaces were lost for some reason in the cut and paste from FoxIT pdf reader)

So to answer the common questions, YES the agents are in almost all cases known to the perceipients, and NO neither are known to be psychic clairavoyant or otherwise especially skilled in these sort or ESP oriented endeavors.

What do you think?
Are you interested to experiment a little with these concepts?
I am beginning to brainstorm about how we will create a multimedia system to engage in remote viewing activities with people we know and don’t know!

Here is an excerpt:

The characteristic theme of Sargeant’s[9] model of feminism is a self-justifying whole. Thus, the subject is contextualised into a neocultural narrative that includes language as a reality. The primary theme of the works of Rushdie is the common ground between society and culture.

However, several deconstructions concerning posttextual Marxism exist. If feminism holds, we have to choose between neocultural narrative and textual narrative.

In a sense, Debord promotes the use of posttextual Marxism to deconstruct the status quo.

From my perspective the universally Simple answer - it depends:
if you go about it with physics as the basis of action - NO.
if you manage to free your consciousness from your body and remain metaphysically intact, then YES, you can dwell in any vessel.

For example one can move one’s true self into a rock and feel the signals that this vessel has to offer… perhaps not as rich a set of signals (more…)
