I'm glad it still resonates with you! Ascension really does have profound ramifications.

My wife suffer from wheat allergy. So do you think it will be good for her as it does not contain wheat?

Re: Elephant RAID Review: Thinking about a RAID? Here are some things you should consider

Found this while searching for info on configuring an Elephant drive. (About to upgrade mine from 2x500G to 2x1T.) ) You probably know this, but RAID0 gives you no data protection to speak of - if either of those drives fails, all the data on them is history.

Also? Your facebook connect code seems to be broken. I gor an error message saying you need to set your callback URL.

Glad you found it useful! I think I would recommend it, as long as you're ok
with the fan. It's not a quiet drive by any means. There is a nice LaCie
(2big Quadra) that has two removable drives that also looks good. I just
couldn't find it to buy, but you may have more success than I.

cheers

Hey Eugene

Thanks very much for the comprehensive review. now that you've had it for a while, what do you think of its performance? Would you recommend it to a total stranger? lol Actually Carbon Computing is just down the road a piece from me. I'm in the market for an external drive 'cause I want some space for my music projects and I want to back up my imac so that I can upgrade (finally) to Leopard. I was thinking of Lacie, but this may appeal if you recommend...

Cheers

@Tom,

With the school we just talked with the teacher at the beginning of the year, and explained the situation. The teacher was AWESOME, and so they asked for a list of safe snacks and recipies for cake, and they just keep things separate. The teacher even thought it through to the play doh and egg carton issues, and has been checking with me about various things. So it's been very well handled.

The school also has a nut free policy, so there are no peanuts or tree nuts to worry about. They have even changed what they sell for school fundraising (the classic chocolate covered almonds and so on) to something else, because of the nut issue. That's pretty amazing.

@churchpunkmom when I think about it, I know that there are many other things that could be much worse, and that parents deal with and cope with things that are much more difficult than food allergies. So I count myself blessed as well.

It's funny, that once you start, and put the procedures in place, so to speak, things just become natural and second nature. But because foods and ingredients can change, you can't really get complacent about it, you have to always stay on top of things.

WOW - that's a lot of commitment and effort - I have a friend whose daughter has the same kind of allergies, but she's grown out of some of them aged 10/11. How did you approach things with the school - have they handled it well?

There's just nothing like living with severe food allergies, is there? My brother had a myriad of allergies, food and otherwise. But none were serious.

I have been so incredibly blessed to have 5 allergy free kids. I am amazed with family history on both sides of allergies, and asthma that we have it so easy.

By the way, I noticed your book listings on the side there.. great books. :) I have a few of those on my own shelf.

Hi Eugene!
Not sure if you remember me, but this is Jennifer Ing from CPC way back when. I stumbled upon your website. E-mail if you have the time and I'll let you know why everything you write about allergies, I can relate to.

Blessings,
Jennifer

thank you so much. very, VERY kind words.

I am so far behind at this point that I'm not too stressed about
getting to 50k, but I'd like to make a good push to the deadline to
see what can happen.
