Are Those Apps Safe? Find Out Inside + Is YouTube Sneaking Away W


Disabling Google Instant Predictions
When searching from the Google home page, “Instant Predictions”–by default–automatically moves the search field from the center of the browser window to the upper left corner, with suggested links immediately appearing below, as search text is entered. This feature, according to Google, saves a whopping 2-5 seconds per search. While a second saved is a second gained, some consider this to be more confusing than convenient. If you’re annoyed or distracted by the deluge of links, Instant Predictions can be disabled.
Note: How Google Instant works–and how it’s accessed–may be different than described here, depending on the browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc,) or the OS (XP, Vista, Windows 7).
Go to http://www.google.com/, click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the browser window, and select Search settings.

Trying to Back Everything Up Without Spending a Fortune?
Need to Cure a Virus Riddled Computer?
How About Quickly Transferring HUGE Amounts of Data?
THERE'S A CABLE THAT DOES ALL OF THIS AND MORE!
One Cable. Endless Possibilities!
It's a Miracle Cable Revolution...
AND EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NEEDS ONE!
See The Video Below!
It's the Cable Used by SMART Consumers Worldwide!

Pays For Itself in ONE Use!
Now THAT'S Brilliant! When I first discovered this amazing cable, all I could think was, "WOW! Talk about a cable EVERY computer user needs!"
What the heck is it?
SATA Adapter
What's it do?
Why would you want one?
Glad you asked!

Basically, this ingenious device allows you use an internal hard drive as an external hard drive!
First - HOW it works:
You take an internal hard drive - IDE or SATA (that's pretty much everything from the last 10+ years) and plug it into this device. Then plug the USB cable into your computer - that's it! The hard drive you hooked up will show up as a removable drive under My Computer! No pesky driver install required! How cool is that?
Why would you want to do that? Here's just a FEW of the ways I use mine:
This is the biggie! Let's say you have an old computer laying around and you REALLY want to get the info off the old hard drive and onto your new computer. With this, just pop out the old hard drive, hook it to this little gadget, and plug the USB cable into your new computer.
You just got your data back!
Oh, and if you're like me and have been computing for awhile, you probably have an old hard drive or two lying around. If so, just hook it up to this and have instant USB access to your files! Now THAT'S smart!
My favorite use for this? Using it as a cheap backup device!
OK, think about this - how much does an external hard drive cost? They're freakin' expensive! In a LOT of cases they can easily run over $100 - even $200 isn't unusual! Sad part is, if you're like most people, you're just using them as a backup device or extra storage. Know why you're paying so much? That pretty case!

Why not just use an internal hard drive with one of these adapters?
Think about it - 
hook up any internal IDE or SATA drive to this device and you instantly have a place for backups or extra storage! When you're done, just stick the drive in your desk drawer! Hey, that's my backup plan most of the time! Internal drives are easier to store, cheaper to buy (think WAY cheaper) and just as reliable!
PLUS - Once you get the data off your old hard drive, you can turn THOSE into your backup drives! Now that's my kind of recycling!
So, you have a large file - or group of files - that just won't fit on your flash drive but you need to get them to another computer. Hmm. what to do...
I know - grab that old hard drive sitting in your drawer and use this handy cable put them on there! After all, this cable is basically turning your old hard drive into a giant flash drive, right? Why not use it like one?
Once your data has been copied, just grab the drive and cable and transfer to the computer that needs the info - problem solved!
OK, this may not be for everyone, but I've done this several times with these cables and it works GREAT!
See, I get a lot of people that come to me with infected computers. Well, some of those infections take HOURS to get off their computer because every time you boot Windows, the virus turns on as well. Smarter viruses then disable all the software tools you install to get rid of them! ARRGH!
So, instead of taking hours to try and manually remove a bad virus, I just pop out the hard drive and - using this cable - hook it to my personal computer. Now I have access to the everything but since windows didn't boot on the infected drive, the virus STAYS DORMANT - and is helpless to stop me from killing it! A quick scan and removal with from my AV software and the problem is fixed!
All thanks to this handy little cable!
And those are just a FEW of the uses for this remarkable cable!
http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/ct-images/3564-video.jpg
Frankly, this cable is so incredibly useful that once you get it, you'll wonder how you got along without it! In fact, you gotta wonder why these aren't standard equipment with every new PC!
Your cost? 'Till tomorrow it's just $22.97 and FREE SHIPPING!
 It's an incredible deal - especially when you figure in all the money it's going to save you on those fancy external drives! Pays for itself almost instantly! Check it out:
PS - Stop getting ripped off for hard drive storage! Grab one of these and use ANY IDE or SATA drive for extra space, backup, and storage before this sale ends!


Turn ANY Surface into an Incredible Sound System!

You've GOTTA SEE This Revolutionary New Speaker!

Connects to Your Portable Music Devices Via an INCLUDED Cable...


OR is 100% Bluetooth Compatible - Works on EVERYTHING!

Stick This Tiny Speaker on ANY Surface: Desk, Mirror, Wall, etc...

AND TURN THE ENTIRE THING INTO AN AMAZING SOUNDING SPEAKER!
Sends POWERFUL Sound Waves Through ANY Surface!

http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/ct-images/any-surface-into-speaker.jpg

You Won't Believe it Until You See it in Action - Check Out the Video Below!


You've NEVER Seen Anything Like it!

Whether you're looking for a portable speaker that you can bring with you anywhere, or just something to leave at home, you've GOTTA SEE THIS! 

This is a brand new invention that's already making huge waves in the world of audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike.
  As you can see, this is a small, cylindrical speaker.  What you can't see is that it packs HUGE power and turns whatever you stick it to into a complete sound system.  Almost doesn't seem possible, right?  Read on! 

Did You Know: Your Wall, Mirror, Desk or ANY Surface...Can Become a Speaker?!

SOUND WAVES GET SENT THROUGH ANY OBJECT IT SITS ON!
 

Connect this speaker to to your music device via the INCLUDED  EXO cable.  This cable is universal, and will fit any USB Powered device, OR any device with the universal 3.5mm jack.  


Now, stick it on ANY surface...and prepare to be BLOWN AWAY!  


The ENTIRE surface you've stuck this on has just been transformed into a huge speaker!  
This speaker is called the EXO XCITE - and it "Excites" the surfaces you stick it to by playing music through it! 

This has never been done before, and the results are stunning - You won't believe how GREAT YOUR MUSIC WILL SOUND!

This is GREAT for mirrors, desks and tables - but it also comes with a wall mount to turn an ENTIRE WALL into a giant, crystal clear sound speaker!  


Imagine: Taking a Shower and Jamming Music...THROUGH YOUR MIRROR!


Seriously, this is perfect for all occasions, whether you're hanging out in a coffee shop with your friends, sitting at home, taking a shower...you could even mount it to the dashboard in your car!  Anything it connects to TURNS TO MUSICAL GOLD!

How Exactly Does it Work?

You'd think it was magic by the results you get.  To truly understand this technology, you need to understand how a common speaker works first.  If you take a speaker and remove the 'sound cone' from it, you're left with a tinny, weak sound that you can barely hear. Put that cone back on, and you get WAY better, much louder sound.

This speaker uses ANY object like that cone!  So no matter what you connect it to (works best on glass and wood), you have a MASSIVE sound coming out of it.
  Wait until you see the video demonstration - you won't believe how great the sound quality is!

Making Waves in Technology - Making Waves Through Music!
 

Tiny Speaker - MASSIVE POWER!

As you can see from the picture, this powerful little speaker is small enough to fit in one hand.  But don't let it's small size fool you - this thing is pure high-quality power! 

If you've ever wanted to unleash the music from your iPod, MP3 player, computer, or Blue Tooth device - this is the perfect high-quality speaker you're looking for. 

Remember - this works with any USB powered portable music device, and ANY music player with a 3.5mm jack.  In fact, it works in everything - including Bluetooth Devices!

100% BLUE TOOTH COMPATIBLE!

That's right!  Not only is this compatible with all of your portable music devices, you can also sync it up to your Bluetooth devices!
  So whether it's your smartphone, tablet, computer or any other Bluetooth device, you can rest assured that it'll WIRELESSLY play all of your tunes!

Wireless Bluetooth Devices Play from 32 Feet Away!
 Basically, your Bluetooth device can be all the way across the room and STILL sync up to this powerful little speaker. 

This works the exact same was as with your "wired" devices - only this one is wireless and works from up to 32 feet away!  That gives you TONS of freedom!
 

Spring is just around the corner...if you're planning on having get-togethers and barbeques, imagine how perfect this will be!

I have a lot of photos in My Pictures folder. The thing is, I can’t see the little pictures of the photos for preview, I can only see icons. Can I change this so that I can see my little pictures again? I have Windows Vista.
Hi, Hailey!
Yep, you can change the icons to the little picture preview (thumbnails) and back again if you want to. Here’s how:
My Pictures is usually stored in your Documents folder. To get to your Documents folder in a really easy way (if it’s not already on your desktop) is to first go to your Start button and left-click. When your Start menu pops up, at the very top of the right side you will see an icon preview (how ironic is that?) and below it, your user name. Below that is Documents. Left-click on it.
After you left-click on your Documents, go up to the top left of your folder to Organize (it’s under the Menu bar – File, Edit, etc.). Left-click on the little upside-down triangle to the right of that. A list of options will drop down; go down the list until you find Folder and Search Options (it’s right under Layout). Left-click on that.
If you’re using XP, instead of Organize, you want the Tools menu. In there, you’ll find Folder Options.
After you click on Folder and Search Options, a (dialog) box will pop up with three tabs: General, View, and Search. Left-click on View.
Under View (in the middle), the first thing you’ll see is Folder Views. Under that, there is a white box with a bunch of settings (labeledAdvanced Settings) that you can change so that you can customize your computer. The very first setting in this box is the one we need, which is Always show icons, never thumbnails. Uncheck this box.
Left-click on Apply, and then left-click on OK.
Now you can see your pictures!
I would like to note here that when you enable the option for thumbnails and not icons, you may notice a difference in your computer performance. When you change this option, thumbnails will be displayed instead of icons on your whole computer, not just My Pictures. When Windows pulls up a thumbnail, it draws on more resources than it does when it pulls up an icon. In other words, Windows has to work a little harder with thumbnails. It’s just like you said, it’s a little picture, and pictures are larger files (even little ones). Thus, a thumbnail (a little picture) is larger than a plain ole itty-bitty icon, so it takes more for Windows to open it than it does to open an icon. If you find that your computer is running a little slower than you would like, follow the tutorial above, and this time put a check in the box where it says Always show icons, never thumbnails. If your computer speeds up a little, you have found your culprit.
Then again, it may not make a bit of difference (it doesn’t on mine). And you may not care if it’s a little slower, because not only is your computer prettier, you can see your little pictures again!
If this does slow your computer down, you can also change the view temporarily by clicking on the View menu and selecting different views. However, if you’re using Vista or Windows 7, you may not see a View menu. If not, take a look at How to Setup Classic Menus in Vista and Windows 7.
Thanks for writing, Hailey!

VideoDropper
We have earlier discussed quite a good number of ways to download YouTube videos on your computer. Some of these methods are too easy, while some of them require you to install a browser extension or a plugin.
But there can be situations when you are surfing YouTube from another person’s computer and want to download a couple of videos right that instant. You don’t have a USB drive with you, nor you have the time to wait for the downloads to finish. So how do you download YouTube videos remotely to your computer’s hard drive from any computer, without having to install anything on the host computer itself ?
VideoDropper is the answer.
If you have a Dropbox account, you can download YouTube videos remotely from any computer or a mobile device, to your computer’s hard drive. There is no need to install any browser extension and neither you have to carry a removable media. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the Videodropper website, hit the “Login with Dropbox” link and sign in with your Dropbox account.
2. On the next page, click “Allow” to grant the app all the necessary permissions to upload the video file to your Dropbox folder. Now you will be taken to the video download page where all you have to do is paste in the URL of the YouTube video which you want to download.
3. You are done.
Videodropper will add your request to their “download queue” and the file will appear in your Dropbox account within an hour or two. The video will be saved in the root folder of your Dropbox account as an FLV file. You can continue using the Videodropper website and request more than one downloads, there aren’t any limits as such.
At the end of the day, run the Dropbox client on your computer and it will download all the videos to your computer’s “My Dropbox” folder. This technique is particularly useful when you are browsing YouTube from your Android or your iOS device. Just paste in the URL of the YouTube video at the VideoDropper website and the file will eventually arrive on your computer’s hard drive. If you have the Dropbox app installed on your smartphone, you can use it to sync the FLV file on your mobile, without having to manually transfer the file using a USB cable.
This is by far, one of the easiest and hassle free way to download YouTube videos from any computer, without having to install anything or wait for the downloads to finish. Everything is taken care in the “cloud”, while you can go play outside.

On The Move
Meghan says:
I’m concerned about the permissions requests I get when I install apps on my Android phone. Some of them make me wonder if the apps are safe.
Meghan, you’re right to be concerned. Since most Android app installations require some special access permissions, you have to decide whether those requirements are justified, and whether the app is worth allowing them. Many of them are necessary, while the need for others is debatable. As a result, I’ll often avoid otherwise interesting and well-received apps, because of the apparently pointless and invasive nature of the required permissions.
An example of an interesting–but nosy–app is Shazam, which enables mobile phone users to identify music that’s playing on their device. Sounds like a pretty cool app. However, their permission requirements include–among others– Your Location and Phone Calls.
When using the phone to download apps from the Android Market, a list of permissions appears below the Accept & Download button.

Passive and Active 3-D TV's... What's the Difference?
Some time ago, I did an article here about the history of 3-D and how it was then coming to a television near you.  Now, it has come and prompting another question as it does:  What’s the difference between “active” and “passive” 3-D?  Well, I’m here to tell you.
Passive 3-d was the first 3-d format, and it still hangs around today.  In passive 3-d, two images are displayed on the screen simultaneously, and you wear glasses that can distinguish the two and blend them into a (hopefully) smooth image free of 3-d “artifacts” (the shading that you sometimes see around 3-d images).
There are two types of passive 3-d currently in use.  The first, anaglyph (red/cyan) is typically only used on standard def DVD’s.

Animation choices in PowerPoint
Do you like MS PowerPoint’s animations for your shapes, pictures and text?
I don’t know about you, but I like the control it gives me for revealing content as I’m ready to cover it. I know that my audience isn’t busy reading every word on the slide instead of focusing on the current discussion.
So… needless to say, I use them all the time as I’m sure many of you do too.
My thought today is about how each animation is started.
If you think that each and every one takes a click to make it happen, then we need to talk.
You actually have a couple of other good choices when it comes to starting an object’s animation on a PowerPoint slide.
By default animations are start with the “On Click” setting.

It seems like no matter where you look (television/internet/advertisements around town) everyone is focused on eating healthier and getting fit. Even fast food joints are trying to emphasize their healthier meals. So it was only a matter of time before someone made an awesome application for your cell phone to make finding those healthy options easier.
Go Meals is free application made for iPhones, iPad, iPod Touch and Android devices that makes it easy to find healthy food to eat and track the calories you are eating while you are out and about. What I really like about sending you to the website for the app first is that you can use the demo and see if this something you’ll use before you download it to your phone. I also like that this app was designed to help people with diabetes making good eating choices and provide them with nutrition facts.
Other sections you can check out while you are here using the navigational tabs are: Features, Demo, Reviews, Resources, and FAQ. Whenever I’m checking out a new application for my phone I always check the reviews to see what other people have to say about it. It is from reviewers that you’re going to find out if there are any annoying bugs, or features that don’t work properly. I’m generally just looking for more positive reviews than negative ones, and to see what people do and don’t like about the app.
The next thing I check out is the FAQ. If an app doesn’t have a FAQ more than likely I won’t download it, because I much prefer to be able to troubleshoot/figure out why something isn’t working on my own. I also think that it shows that a company is really thinking about the needs of their customers and what sorts of questions they might come up with about the application.
So what are you waiting for? Go check out this app and see if it is something you could really make the most out of!

Do you want to listen to old radio shows? Well now you can at Archive.org. Here you’ll find old radio shows like Abbott and Costello, Ranger Bill, Batman and many more radio shows that aired before television took off.
Navigation is not only easy, but gives you multiple ways to find the show you want to listen to. You can just scroll down the page and check out which shows are featured an which were just recently added. You can select a letter from the alphabetical menu and see all the programs whose titles start with that letter. You can also browse by keyword/subject, collection, date, and creator. So they’ve given you plenty of way so to find what you are looking for!
Once you click into the category or show title that you want, you’ll find that you have different options for listening. You can stream the show by clicking the stream link, for me these open in WINAMP. Or you can download and save one of the other formats and play it in the appropriate player.
This is a great way to step back into the past and listen to the golden age of radio. Check it out today!

Your Computer...is About to FLY!
No Joke - System Mechanic can make your PC run up to 300% FASTER!
You're probably wondering how this is possible, and there's many, many answers to that question.  To start with, once you install System Mechanic, the very first thing it does is run a diagnostics check on your PC.  
It'll find issues like: Registry Problems, System Clutter, Unnecessary Start-Up Programs, Broken Shortcuts and an entire HOST of other issues that you may not have even known existed!

Hey, maybe you're a little more 'techie' than the rest of us.  Or, maybe there's certain start-up programs that you'd like to keep and a few things in your registry that you don't want eliminated.

Just Like People - Computers CAN Suffer From Memory Loss.  FIX IT!
Most likely, your PC started off fast.  Then, it gradually became slower and slower until one day, you were ready to lose your mind and go buy a new one.  Let me tell you, this sentiment is exactly what those "BIG" corporations that manufacture computers want. They make more money that way!

NEWSFLASH: IT'S YOUR PC's MEMORY - SYSTEM MECHANIC CAN FIX IT!
Often times, your PC won't allow programs to give the used memory back, even when it's done using it!  Other times, it will allow it to go back to your hard drive, but it'll be "fragmented," meaning not all of it will be given back, and what is isn't the same as it was before.

Ready to recover all of that missing memory?
Of course you are, and in a matter of seconds, you can have it back!  System Mechanic uses a utility called "Memory Mechanic" that recovers ALL of your wasted memory, and gives it right back to you.  Not only will you now have extra memory space...you'll get yet another HUGE jolt of speed!
 Again, this is an optional automatic utility - click a button and get it done!

And While We're Talking About "Memory..."
Ready to Recover Entire GIGS of Hard Drive Space?!
Thought so!  And guess what?  System Mechanic makes it SIMPLE!  See...we ALL have extra junk on our PC's - from file duplicates to unused and temporary files, your computer automatically stores all of it.  After a while, this starts adding up...BIG TIME.
Eventually, this turns into entire GIGS worth of wasted space.  Not good. Lucky for you, the remedy is as simple as clicking your mouse!  Using another utility that's built into System Mechanic called PC Cleanup, it goes in eliminates all of that junk that's sucking away your valuable hard drive space!  Once again, you can let it go with it's automatic (default) setting, or you can pick and choose what to eliminate!
In a matter of mere minutes, you'll have recovered TONS of hard drive space, making room and further upping the speed of your PC! Farewell, PC Clutter!


Even MORE Programs to Make Your PC Lightning Fast!

You didn't think that was it, did you?  There's lots more!  In fact, we still have to get to the rest of the features - like the MAXIMUM SECURITY and pure customizations!  But first, there's a few other utilities that come built into System Mechanic that MAXIMIZE YOUR PC SPEED!  Read on for a shorter description of each!


Energy Booster: Shuts down unnecessary background programs! It's like putting a shot of adrenaline directly into the heart of your hard drive!

NetBooster: Examines your internet connection, and optimizes it for the fastest possible speed! Hold on tight - your internet is about to be between 100-300% FASTER!

Drive Medic: With the simple click of a button,this scans your hard drive and automatically fixes any problems it discovers. The SOLUTION for ultimate speed and performance!

As you can see, System Mechanic goes well beyond what any person could possibly think of in order to maximize the speed and performance of your PC.  Now, it's time to talk about the other thing it's good at: Protection and Security!


*System Mechanic Part 2: Maximum Security & Protection - 100% Privacy!*


Ready for ULTIMATE Security, Privacy AND Protection? It's Here!

The internet can be a dirty and dangerous place...
you need to protect yourself AND your PC!  With all of the new technology these days, internet crime is on the rise.  There's hackers out there just waiting to take advantage of innocent computer users like yourself. 

If you have an open vulnerability, no matter how small it may seem, that's all it takes to get HACKED. 
 These days, not even your Firewall can always save you.  But you know what can save you by now, right?  System Mechanic can! Observe:

Find and Fix Security Holes with ONE Click!
Once System Mechanic is installed, it'll let you know what kind of security issues you're facing.  While it's scanning and finding out all of these fatal flaws,  you might start feeling your palms get sweaty.  DON'T WORRY.  These security threats can be eliminated with the click of your mouse - that's it!  
See the screen shot below - System Mechanic HANDLES EVERYTHING FOR YOU!
Just Because You Have NOTHING to Hide Doesn't Mean You Don't Want Privacy!
That's Where System Guard Comes in!
Of the many security issues commonly found on a PC, one of the most common ones is when a dirty program tries adding itself to your start-up process.  This is DANGEROUS!  System Guard eliminates these with ease!
And speaking of dangerous programs leeching onto your PC - there's always a threat of them quietly adding themselves into the background, eventually making their way to your browser and planting unauthorized software! 
Your PRIVATE data is also at risk! But of course, System Guard has an answer for that - it's a feature calledPrivacy Cleaner and it completely erases ALL of your search history that you get while browsing the web.  It also eliminates cookies and chat transcripts IF you want it to (optional).  Bottom line: there's hackers and threats everywhere, but... 
That threats are now GONE!  System Guard simply doesn't let them happen!
Of Course You Have Sensitive Files On Your PC...
ELIMINATE THEM WITHOUT A TRACE WITH THE INCINERATOR!
The Incinerator is just another one of the security programs built into System Mechanic that's totally worth noting.  It allows you to destroy sensitive files and make them COMPLETELY un-recoverable!  
We're talking PERMANENT deletion that nobody - not even an entire team of Ivy League hackers - can recover! Keep your sensitive information from EVER falling into the wrong hands with this nice little program!  100% WORRY FREE!
We Mentioned That Everything Can be Automatic, Right?
WELL, IT CAN ALSO BE TOTALLY CUSTOMIZED IF YOU WANT TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT IT DOES!
Bear with me now, because this is important. Most programs force you to run them the way they were programmed.  But what if you only want this extensive program to do certain things?  
System Mechanic Lets You Choose! After you install the program, you can choose an option called "Customize Advanced Windows Settings" and you can completely customize your protection!
There's well over 100 customization options right at your fingertips!  And don't worry, whatever you choose to customize, System Mechanic will explain, in Leymans Terms, what each option will do! You can make your start menu faster or slower, put arrows on your shortcuts, hide or show items in your control panel..the choice is yours!  Look below for an example of how this works, it's easy!

My laptop was in a mess! It was slow to the point of stagnation at times but a colleague recommended your software and the result was near-magical! Speeds have improved dramatically and it has given me a great feeling of confidence. Michael H.
After I ran System Mechanic the first time, I thought I had a new machine! John N
I love your product. It's not only a great product, but it?s fun to use. Sometimes I play with the different categories and I just enjoy myself....Norton & McAfee could learn a thing or two or three or four from you...lol....Have a great new year. Ray H
System Mechanic saved me from having to purchase a whole new computer. Well worth the investment! Arthur H.
System Mechanic is a great addition to my computer. I feel much more in control of what's going on inside it. The Internet optimizer worked great, a 1MB would take 22 seconds to download, now it takes just 7 seconds!! That is a 300% increase in internet speed. I was able to get at and get rid of a lot of unnecessary garbage that was choking up my computer. This product rates 5 out of 5 in my books! John T.
Without a doubt, [System Mechanic is] the complete difference between a well working machine and being the typical frustrated computer user?From novice to expert, this product rocks and I would recommend it to anyone who uses a computer for whatever reason. Chris H.
This product is much better than Norton Utilities and SystemWorks which I had been using since 1995.Keep up the good work!! Vern H
In my twenty years of personal computing, System Mechanic is one of the best -- if not THE best -- software I have ever installed on a PC. I recommend it without hesitation to all my friends and presentation audiences. Keep up the great work. Bob S.

Sandhill Crane In Flight
I have to admit – I have a love / hate relationship with photographing sandhill cranes in flight. On one hand, I love getting cool on-the-wing photos like the one above, but on the other hand – WOW – a single morning of good shooting can produce..(More)
Sable Falls In Winter

Cutest Chipmunk In Bryce Canyon
We discovered this little beggar at the top of a really long climb up from the bottom of Bryce Canyon, UT. I spotted him first and figured as we got closer he’d dart off and that would be that. Ahh, but he was tame – or hungry – or something….. (More)
