I was wondering if there is a interface, window, plugin etc that allows me to designate a few files that I can quickly open files I use all the time in a window on the workspace?

For example. I use my logo on a lot of things, is there a way while I'm using photoshop that I can designate it so with one click I call up the file in Photoshop.

I have spent what must be days online looking for empty land, I had a realtor that claimed to specialize in farm land, I can't find what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for:

-empty land at least one acre

-within 45 minute drive of a decent sized city in NC (Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, Winston etc)

-no HOA, no covenants, no restrictions

-Not in a neighborhood

-Has some flat areas

-Ability to have power and high speed internet to site

-not land locked, able to access

-not next to a highway, power lines, sewage plant or the like

Honestly I can't find anything listed, there are a few listed for a million plus, but otherwise no luck.

I have started my own business and work online 100% I wanted to try living in another country for a 1-3 months.

Essentially I can leave whenever, complete flexibility, I don't care when I come or go. I'm even open to most places as long as they are relatively safe, I can find an apartment for reasonable amount, and I have decent internet.

Most websites require you to put in dates, I don't really have dates, just want cheapest.

What website will allow me to find the cheapest flights for international destinations without having to check every day and a bunch of possible locations. Literally just one stop check for lowest fares quickly and easily.

I am making a loan to someone and was going to spell out how the interest would be calculated in the loan agreement. I found the two different formulas online, I'm not sure the difference between the two. When I crunch the numbers with both, neither of them seem to match up with the various "calculators" online. What is the correct formula and how do I find the total cost (principal + Interest) of the loan. I'll also need to know how to handle if someone pays it off early or pay more than the monthly payment.

The loan I want to make:

Principal: $12,500

Interest: 4% fixed monthly

Monthly payment: $250

Compounded monthly

Term: ~55 months

The two Formulas I tried:

M = P[i(1+i)^n]/[(1+i)^n -1]

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

I tried these formulas and none of them matched up with the calculator results online. I tried this one because it showed the monthly payments, remaining balance etc.

I have a internet to my home and I have started working in a office space I built in my backyard. The building where I work is about 1000 feet away from my home. How should I go about doing this?

So my utilities is covered by rent so I don't get a power bill, but I have figured out how much everything uses in a spread sheet.

The trouble I am having is things like A/C or my Fridge that kick on and off as needed. For example, if I have a A/C set to 72 degrees, it isn't blowing cool air constantly. For the fridge, it kicks on its compressor. With micro hydro you don't need batteries because water flows 24/7, so how can I figure out how many kilowatt hours i need to have my system make?

When setting goals it is often suggested that your goals be S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-Based). From those goals you develop using the S.M.A.R.T. model your next step is to develop tactics (approaches or tools) to achieve them. I was wondering if anyone knows of an acronym similar to S.M.A.R.T. for goals, but an acronym used to develop tactics?

I am hiring a blog writer for my blog and I am trying to figure how to structure their pay. I want a way to encourage the writer to post pieces that get serious traction on my already existing readership of 100,000.

What do free lance bloggers get paid usually?

How might I structure it for a pay for performance scale?

I saw an add, but didn't catch the name of it. It essentially goes like this. a team is given $100k to hide from a team of police/detectives. If they can keep it hidden for 48 hours, they get to keep the money.

Any idea what the name is and when it will be coming on?

I have worked to establish a large community garden with 20 gardeners. We are currently looking to start making money in order to have capital to start a second location that will be much larger, include animals, classes, and a store.

We currently have 8 acres we only use 1 acre. We thought about expanding to some high density beds and selling produce. What would be a some low maintenance, dense planting but high yield crops that we could sell?

What are some other ways to raise money to make this large expansion?

I am looking for a small tractor. I need something that has more power and functionality than a glorified riding lawn mower, but I don't need something that a professional farmer would use.

I have about 10 acres where I need to do:

-minor grading

-tilling 1-2 acres

-2 acres cutting grass

-moving materials w/ front load bucket

-small amount of digging

-possibly collecting hay

What specific tractor (model) do you suggest and how much do they typically go for without attachments.

I am looking to make a workhorse of a computer. I want a PC, that can handle heavy video producing and photo editing.

Guess I am stuck on what processor and if I should wait for something coming out soon?

Looking for minimum 4 gigs ram (DDR3 would be nice), Graphics card must have 2 DVI outputs, multi-core.

Possibly looking for solid state hard drive as main (250 gig), and a terabyte as second and a terabyte as third just for music. Might be nice to have USB 3.0 support.

I run a blog about Tiny Houses or Small Houses, Tiny Living, and cover other topics such as green living, eco friendly etc.

I am trying to reach more readers and share my passion about Tiny Houses, what are some ideas to get my website to more people?

Check it out, the site is at: TheTinyLife.com to get a better ideas what it is all about.

I am going to be teaching a cooking class for an upcoming backpacking trip. These people have never been on a trip before, what should I talk about specifically for the class?

Also any good tips.

I am looking for a FREE code package that I can just drop on my server to have my own file upload and download site.

I just want it to be simple, upload any file (any size) and it will show on a simple index. you can then download any of the files from that index.

I have my own hosting (supports php, MySQL, etc etc)

anyone know any open source that does this?

for some reason my usb drive one day stopped allowing me to just open it through double clicking on it. I instead have to right click and then "explore" it works fine otherwise and it never used to do this.

Any ideas why and how to fix it?

I know things change with what is easily available and what things troops are in need of at the moment.

I have a good friend who is in Iraq now and want to send him some stuff, what are some things they are really in need of CURRENTLY over there. He doesn't have access to a computer right now, otherwise I would just ask him.

So what are the big needs of soldiers in Iraq today.

I have an external hard drive formatted for a mac. I am on a mac (OS 10.4.11) and want to format it for a windows file system. How can I do this?

I want to go ahead and buy a sizable amount of lumber (2x4, 2x8, plywood, etc) to keep on hand in my shop. What is the best way to store the wood so that it doesn't warp, twist, degrade in quality, breakdown.

I would assume keep it in a dry, cool place with little light. What else?

I am 25 and used to drink sodas, I have had a few cases of Prostatitis and sometimes it seems if I do have a soda (which is really rare for me now) that it can make my Prostatitis worse or last longer. Is there a link?
