It's just being
one of those days.

In England after the polo match they stomp the divots, hopefully avoiding the steaming ones. But over here, the steaming divots stomp YOU!

( Madam Marlboro wonders if you've found her yet, Mon 28 Jul 2008, 19:49, Reply)

Steaming divots
were something referenced in "Pretty Woman".

Also, from some website called Grass Clippings: "The highlight of each polo game is the mid game 'divoting' where the chunks of turf torn from the surface by the fast moving polo ponies hoofs' are pressed back into the surface to repair the pitch. Even the Ladies in their high heels have a bash at it. To watch this spectacle of mass divoting is just so amusing especially when someone tries to press in a 'steaming divot'."

It's just being one of those days. I'm writing Bills Of Materials (BOMs) and it's making me crazy. Also I share an office with three other people who are working on the shit-fired power plant project, making it damn near impossible to concentrate as they're discussing it constantly. (As they should- nothing against them or their conversations, as it's thoroughly needed, but it's still hard to work with.)

You can do Save As, and where it says File Type you can click the pull down menu and save it as an older version. The older machine should recognize it.

@Becky - to sharpen up a specific area in Photoshop, you first need to mask or select it. Masking gives the best results, but you can use the magnetic lasso tool to select an area and then apply the filter.

Why would you need to sharpen a hedgehog though?
