Toronado 3800, I came across an example that might serve as an example of the divergence you are looking for. It is from a text, The Origin of Adaptations by Verne Grant published in 1963. That is when I was in grad school taking courses in evolution. Anyhow Grant sites studies done by G. Turesson in 1922. In this work Turesson found what he called races of plants growing on a island (Oeland) off the southern coast of Sweden. The island is made up largely of limestone and water retention is minimal so plants there are subject to drought conditions much of the time. Several mainland species: Atriplex campestris, Leontodon autumnalis, Rumex acetosella, Silene maritima, and Allium schoenoprasum all had representative "races" on the island. In each case the island populations had developed characteristics which made them more drought tolerant such as prostrate or dwarf growth habit, small narrow depressed thick-walled leaves. The explanation was that natural selection favored these parallel adaptations in the island conditions.

It's actually the web browser you are using that is keeping track and not Google itself. I keep some of the web pages I have searched and just highlite and delete those I don't want. Just hover over those and click delete. To delete all of the entries assuming you are using IE7 do the following.... Click the Tools menu Select Delete Browsing History Click the Delete forms button Click the Yes button in the confirmation window. Click the Close button You can also click on Preferences next to the Google search box and near the bottom where it says Query Suggestion put a check in the button that says... Do not provide query suggestions in the search box. That will stop the auto suggestion when a similar letter is entered. Bob

I love all of the advice here. I LOVE the idea of opening up each listing in another tab. Who knew you can do that?? I tried it, and it saves so much time. I have been addicted to tabs since I started using Firefox years ago. And now Internet Explorer and other browsers also use tabs. I have been surprised to find out how many people I know don't know how to use tabs in their browser. They are a huge timesaver. Not so much back arrow clicking, makes shopping and surfing so much easier.

I just print off the recipes as I find them. Yea, I have a gazillion recipes lying around the place. BUT, what I'm wondering is, when you put them into a folder, can you set up an index and put the name of the recipe and it's source into the index, alphabetically or by meal or by type of food (kind of like a recipe book), at the same time? I know it's a 2-step system but then when looking for a recipe you can just go into the index and perhaps the name of the recipe will tweak your memory. However, you may have hundreds of recipes then it's still cumbersome. edited to clarify This post was edited by blfenton on Wed, Feb 19, 14 at 18:12
