first post for lake ontario edgewalker's blog

This blog from the edge will consist of periodic posts by me and hopefully others on beaches, beach treasures, beach mysteries and I suspect other topics, too.We'll focus on Lake Ontario beaches at least for now since that's where my finds will be from mainly.



Beaches are special places. I love ranging far and wide upon the open waters of the lake with my sailboat. But I also enjoy exploring afoot. You can keep going back to a good beach because it keeps changing. Every week it's different and new again. New skipper stones, new lucky rocks, new oddities and driftwood. Beaches in general are among the most dynamic and ephemeral of landscapes. This is what makes building houses by and on them so problematic. Yet we're drawn to that very quality of the shore. You just never know what might turn up there. Kinda like e Bay.



A couple weeks ago a friend and I found this fragment of a plastic sign(see photo to left). Great lakes school? We couldn't quite make out the letters above. But the run together small letters suggested url to us. I tucked the fragment in my pocket and took it home to show to my spouse. Great Lakes Schooner he guessed and googled it. Sure enough. There's a company that does boat rides with a big steel three master and a bunch of other boats around Toronto.http://greatlakesschooner.com

So what's the coolest, oddest, weirdest or just plan way out thing you've found on the beach? I'll see if I can figure out how to post my favorite here tomorrow. Meantime, send me a photo and or description of your best beach "treasure". send it to susan@silverwaters.com Happy hunting.

For some reason while I had windows vista, I started to get blue screens constantly. I than installed windows xp and the computer was a'lot faster but still, I got the blue screens. There are no viruses on my computer. I don't know much about fixing computers, so hopefully I won't have to take something out or whatever inside my computer, im hoping I can just fix this problem by doing something ON the computer. ***The blue screens will only appear if I basically have alot of graphic material running on the computer, such as if I start a game, play a move, or video on youtube. I think I remember my brother telling me that the problem could be some driver he put in, but he didn't know for sure. Hes the computer genious and the mr. fix it in the house. But he's never home and won't ever look at the problem and fix it. (Please someone help me, I have searched all over google with no solutions.) The most common errors I get on the blue screen are: irql_not_less_or_equal driver_irql_not_less_or_equal Here is my recent error logs starting from today :(Some may be the same as other error logs, but youll be able to see which problem occurs the msot) The device, \Device\Scsi\nvidesm1, did not respond within the timeout period. The device, \Device\Scsi\nvidesm1, did not respond within the timeout period. The wscsvc service failed to start due to the following error: The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service. The device, \Device\Scsi\nvidesm1, did not respond within the timeout period.

The device, \Device\Scsi\nvidesm1, did not respond within the timeout period. ***So I guess something is reall messed up with that error above, since I have had how many error logs with that message. Please, someone tell me how to fix this, it is so annoying having to restart my computer constantly and losing stuff. I can't play my favorite games anymore because of this.
