Special Usage
If the user is migrating data because of systemwide issues, it is best to copy only user accounts and reinstall applications with the original installation process, first noting the settings and then re-entering them manually. At least one account being migrated should be an administration-level account, or one should be created after user accounts have been migrated. A user account protected by FileVault can be migrated only during the initial Setup Assistant process of a new Mac, or the first time Mac OS X is started after a fresh install of the operating system. It cannot be done later by going to Migration Assistant application in the /Applications/Utilities folder. The full disk encryption FileVault 2 introduced in OS X Lion does not have this limitation, after a password for the whole disk is entered there is no difference to a normal disk for any application. User files located on FileVault 2 system disks can be migrated at any time.

“Fashions change, and with the new psychoanalytical perspective of the postwar period [WWII], child rearing became enshrined as the special responsibility of mothers ... any shortcoming in adult life was now seen as rooted in the failure of mothering during childhood.”

“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
