Important: If viewing in Google Drive, PDF hyperlinks are hot after you highlight them. If you have trouble navigating to a hyperlink then visit the blog where all links are hot - http://pcnhighlife.blogspot.com/

Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),

Sorry about the slight publishing delay:  I was fortunate enough to spend a little very needed and valuable time with family and nature in N. Lower Michigan and am happy to report it helped recharge the battery.  Sorry for the slight delay. 

Policy on Privacy Review:

1.     Data Base: First, your membership is NEVER confirmed in the PCN until I can verify that you are a qualified member.  Because of that, WE HAVE NO UNWANTEDS or SPAMMERS IN OUR GROUP!  Then, ALL personal info is not only religiously guarded but NEVER shared directly with anyone!  If someone asks for your contact info to me directly then I contact you with this request and it is up to you whether the contact is made or not. 

2.     HighLife Posts:  First, the links to HL PDF version and the Blog are NOT PUBLIC.  Links to these issues are for members only and how that is accomplished is they are only available through notices directly emailed to our “private” group. No, there isn’t a password access set up on the blog, but few if any general public will ever find our page.   Some of you may not be informed about the steps that I have taken to protect against sharing info publicly. 

3.     Your Email Address on Posts:  Here is the PCN policy again.  IF YOU EMAIL ME A POST YOUR NAME & EMAIL WILL BE INCLUDED ON IT TO OUR PRIVATE GROUP.  If you are careless enough to include the addresses or cellphones of others, I try my very best to “scrub” those from the post before publishing again to our “private” group.  If you do not include your name, I reluctantly include anonymous posts and believe that if you are bold enough to offer a post than you should be bold enough to attach your name.  AGAIN,  please understand that our newsletter and mail is not public and available to view by link ONLY through private email notices.  

4.     EXCEPTIONS TO YOUR INFO INCLUSION OR YOUR EMAILING BEING POSTED:  If you are a PCN member and email me, I cannot remember your privacy wishes from months ago since we have a group of over 2600.  If you wish your email or your contact info in your email to remain off the PCN, then you must include “DO NOT PUBLISH THIS EMAIL or MY CONTACT INFO”  in EVERY email that you wish to keep from sharing with the PCN. 

I am not trying to scare anyone or keep you from emailing  in posts but you have to understand that when you tell me months ago that our discussion is to remain private, that can’t possibly remain in my puny little mind with the volume of emails and contributors I get.  So, if you want  all or some of your post private, YOU MUST TELL ME IN THAT SPECIFIC EMAIL.  Thank you.  Fair enough?

To Copy A Post:

Problem:

From: Joel Payne

Date: 10/6/2014 5:15:32 PM

To: Joel Payne

Subject: Blogspot

Mark; Every now and then I like to make a copy of 1 or more articles from the PCN. I usually view it from the Google connection, but have trouble just high lighting 1 article. If I hold down the mouse and drag it through the article, it turns the WHOLE newsletter blue. Don't want that. If I just do part of the article [highlighting once again], there is NO function to "copy". Only "select all". Decided to try it from the the Blogspot link. Get the main page for about 5 seconds and then it goes to Yahoo search.

Just tried again using the Google site and get an error  page-

Problems on your end or mine? inquiring minds want to know.

Editor: Joel, copying a post from either format should readily be available.  Let’s talk;

Copying from the PDF from the Google Drive first. First and foremost, the HighLife is a PDF file at the Google Drive.  If you are familiar with PDF files they were created and used extensively to “protect” the content from editing, copying or changing in any way.   That said there are ways to copy a PDF.  When you open it if it loads the basic version of Adobe Acrobat then you may have limitations on copying or saving.  My computer uses Firefox Mozilla as my browser and when I open the PDF HL version from that site it opens it “inside” my browser.  The browser allows me to highlight and copy line by line, just what you want.  So either try using another browser OR download the Firefox Foxit PDF reader and make it the default reader and it gives you a whole lot more functions.  Last thing you can do is to “download” via the top center arrow icon, the whole High Life newsletter to your hard drive than you can copy, split or otherwise share individual posts.

As to the Blog:  There are just a whole host of online tools that currently do not work well with Microsoft Internet Explorer.  Again, I am now using Mozilla.  When the blog is viewed with any browser, it takes a few seconds to completely load and you must wait.  After it is loaded you should be able to drag a cursor while holding down the left mouse button to “highlight” the section you wish to copy.  Then push the Ctrl and “C” key at the same time and the highlighted section will be copied to your clipboard and ready to paste into a document or email.  However, the Blog has other great features in an Icon menu located bottom left of each section.  This Icon menu bar allows the reader to share via email, facebook, twitter, or other means.
