Enter the event id in the field above. For better results specify the event source as well.
Monitoring Windows event logs involves more than just getting a list of events that happened on a computer. As the applications grow more complex their logging tend to increase exponentially. Those that kept an eye on the differences between Windows XP and Windows 7 may have noticed that the logs are now flooded with a mirriad of log entries, making the task of reading the logs quite difficult. The natural reaction of a (usually overworked) system administrator is to ignore them and only look for errors when something goes wrong with that particular system. Well, there are other ways to make the monitoring more efficient. Enter EvLog 2, a tool developed by the www.eventid.net engineers, designed to keep the event logs under control. See EvLog2win7-2013-04-15 as an example of report created by our software.
What are the benefits of using EvLog 2? Here is a list of the goodies that the admins get by deploying EvLog 2:
Web-based reports, advanced filtering, flexible scheduling, reports by email, backup of event logs, customizable reports, low foot-print, and so on.
We are happy to present Evvy, the EvLog Artificial Intelligence module! Once enabled, Evvy will start to collect statistics about the events recorded on your computer. In other words, Evvy learns about what the computer is analyzing and uses that to make some educated guesses.
Evvy is able to detect when "something happened", when things are not normal, and when improvements are necessary to make the reporting information more relevant. As it is the case with any intelligent entity, Evvy will get smarter as EvLog evolves and more analysis are performed. In time, Evvy will be able to detect patterns in the logs and do some of the thinking for the overworked system admins of the world!

Official: Injured border guard takes first steps
A Canadian border official says a border guard who was shot and wounded by a Washington state man who then killed himself has been able to take her first steps as she recovers in a hospital.
The Associated Press
A Canadian border official says a border guard who was shot and wounded by a Washington state man who then killed himself has been able to take her first steps as she recovers in a hospital.
Officer Lori Bowcock remained hospitalized in the Vancouver, British Columbia, area Thursday. She was shot in the neck Tuesday at a busy U.S.-Canada crossing north of Seattle. Canadian officials have said she's on her way to full recovery.
According to the Bellingham Herald, Kim Scoville of the Canada Border Services Agency's Pacific region said Thursday that the bullet missed major arteries. Scoville says a trauma surgeon who worked on Bowcock called her the "luckiest unlucky person" he had met.
Investigators say Andrew Michael Crews of Seattle was driving into Canada when he fired at Bowcock in her booth, then turned the gun on himself. He died at the scene.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Investigators are learning more about the 32-year-old Washington state tattoo artist who wounded an unarmed Canadian border guard and then killed himself - but they're still trying to find out why.
Canadian officials said Wednesday that Officer Lori Bowcock was on her way to a full recovery. She was shot in the neck Tuesday afternoon at a busy U.S.-Canada crossing north of Seattle.
Andrew Michael Crews of Seattle was driving a van into Canada when he fired at Bowcock in her booth, then turned the gun on himself, authorities said. Crews died at the scene.
His stepfather, Danny Lupinek of Henderson, Nev., said Wednesday that Crews texted his mother hours before the shooting to say he loved her - and was sorry.
Lupinek said Crews didn't explain what he meant in his text, and the family was unable to reach him after that. He said Crews had given no indication he was upset or headed to Canada.
"This investigation remains in the early stages and investigators are attempting to determine a motive," Superintendent Kevin Hackett of the British Columbia homicide investigation team handling the probe said Wednesday.
"The current evidence clearly indicates that prior to taking his own life, Mr. Crews deliberately fired at the victim," Hackett said in a statement. "There is no evidence, however, to suggest the victim was specifically targeted."
He did not elaborate.
The investigation team was treating the case as an attempted murder.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations were assisting British Columbia authorities by following leads on the U.S. side of the border, said Andrew Munoz, spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Bowcock remained hospitalized Thursday in British Columbia, and Canada Border Services Agency spokeswoman Faith St. John described her condition as improving.
"She is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery," Roslyn MacVicar, the agency's Pacific regional director, said Wednesday in a statement. "Her mother and brothers are by her side."
Bowcock worked as a civilian dispatcher at police headquarters in London, Ontario, until last spring. As a new border guard, she had not yet completed training that would allow her to carry a gun, the Border Services Agency said.
Crews had lived in the Bremerton area but recently moved to the Seattle area.
Friends said Crews had worked at a Lucky Boys tattoo parlor in Silverdale, near Bremerton, and Lupinek confirmed that his stepson had worked as a tattoo artist. Lucky Boys' phone rang unanswered late Wednesday.
"He's nice. He's just really down to earth," tattoo client Courtnee Riggs told KOMO-TV of Seattle. "He seemed normal and happy and liked punk rock. It's just crazy."
KING-TV reported Crews also had worked at Under the Needle Tattoo in Seattle. A man who answered the phone there declined to comment.
Several TV stations talked with Keith Munyon of Marysville, Wash., identified as a cousin of Crews.
"It doesn't make sense to me," Munyon told reporters, adding his cousin seemed like "a loving guy" and "mellow-mannered."
Immediately after the shooting, officers swarmed the scene and closed the Peace Arch border crossing as they interviewed witnesses and searched for clues. Investigators blocked off the area around Bowcock's booth with yellow crime-scene tape and examined Crews' white van, which sat with its back doors open revealing a mattress inside.
Kevin McAllister, assistant general manager at the Peace Portal Golf Course, which is adjacent to the border crossing, said an employee and several guests told him they had heard two shots fired.
The Peace Arch border about 100 miles north of Seattle is the third-busiest between the United States and Canada. Last month, it averaged 9,000 U.S.-bound cars a day, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Canadian officials reopened the crossing's southbound lanes Wednesday afternoon and northbound lanes Thursday morning.
Drivers had been detoured to other crossings, including the nearby Pacific Highway crossing, said U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Mike Milne.
Associated Press writer Kathy McCarthy contributed to this report.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Houston (ABC) -- Actress Skye McCole Bartusiak, who portrayed Mel Gibson's young daughter in the 2000 film "The Patriot," died in her Houston home, her mother said Sunday. She was 21.
Bartusiak's mother, Helen Bartusiak, told The Associated Press the actress had been living in a garage apartment at her parents' home. She said the actress' boyfriend found her unresponsive on her bed Saturday.
Helen Bartusiak said she tried to resuscitate her daughter but could not. She said the actress had been healthy and did not drink or do drugs and the family did not yet know a cause of death.
Bartusiak made her acting debut in the television miniseries "Storm of the Century" in 1999 and also had a role on "24" in 2002-2003.
She made her film debut in the "The Cider House Rules" in 1999 and starred with Michael Douglas in "Don't Say a Word" in 2001. Her most recent move was "Sick Boy" in 2012.
Bartusiak was best known for her role in Gibson's Revolutionary War epic "The Patriot," where she played the daughter of militia leader Benjamin Martin who struggles to speak with her father.
"The Patriot" cast also included Heath Ledger, who died after an accidental overdose of painkillers and sedatives in 2008.

Bulgaria's Air Pollution Levels Remain Highest in Europe – WHO
Bulgaria remains the leader in the European Union in terms of air pollution, according to the World Health Organization.
The highest concentration of the two main types of particulates has been measured in Bulgaria, the WHO latest data has showed. Poland and Romania rank second and third in the negative rating.
The highest concentration of particulate matters in Bulgaria is found in the city of Pernik – 74 micrograms per cubic meter of particulates smaller than 10 microns, and 52 micrograms per cubic meter of particulates smaller than 2.5 microns. The air pollution is high in the capital city of Sofia, as well as Plovdiv, Dobrich, Pleven and Veliko Turnovo. The residents of the Black sea city of Burgas breathe the purest air in Bulgaria.
Finland, Malta, Denmark and Estonia are the EU countries with the lowest estimated concentration of particulates in the air, according to The 2014 version of WHO's Ambient Air Pollution.
In global terms, the worst air quality is found in Pakistan, where the concentration of particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 10 microns reached 282 micrograms per cubic meter of air, followed by Afghanistan, Bahrain, Qatar and Bangladesh.
The WHO database contains results of outdoor air pollution monitoring from almost 1600 cities in 91 countries. The organization reported that only 12 % of people live in cities where the air quality meets the health standards. About half of the urban population, covered by the research, lives in cities with air pollution more than 2.5 times higher than the recommended levels, which increases the risk of additional health problems and mortality due to poor air quality.
In April 2014 the World Health Organization published new data showing that air pollution was responsible for the deaths of 3.7 million people under the age of 60 in 2012. The organization also pointed out that indoor and outdoor air pollution poses the highest health risks worldwide.

The FTSE/JSE Africa All Share Index (JALSH) declined for the first time in four days, falling 0.2 percent to 34,294.51 by 12:20 p.m. in Johannesburg, paring this week's gain to 1.2 percent.
The following are among the most active equities in the South African market today. Stock symbols follow company names.
Anglo American Plc (AAL) , the diversified miner that accounts for 9 percent of the benchmark index, headed for its highest close in nine months, climbing 1.8 percent to 346.79 rand. Copper rose, trimming the biggest weekly decline in more than a month, before a report that may show U.S. employment increased in January. Analysts also speculated the company is becoming an even more likely takeover target with Xstrata Plc and Glencore International Plc's potential merger.
AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (ANG) , Africa's biggest producer of the metal, advanced for the first time in four days, gaining 0.8 percent to 358.85 rand. Gold headed for a fifth weekly advance, the longest rally since August, as mixed U.S. economic data and the European debt crisis drove demand for a haven investment.
Eqstra Holdings Ltd. (EQS) , which imports industrial and construction equipment, rose the most in two weeks, adding 2.6 percent to 8 rand. Earnings per share after one-time items probably increased as much as 24 percent in the six months through December, the company said in a trading statement.
Investec Plc (INVP) , the banking group with operations in South Africa, Australia and the U.K., fell for the first time in four days, declining 0.8 percent to 48.39 rand. The third quarter of its fiscal year was "challenging" due to market volatility, the lender said in an interim management statement. Operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles, non- operating items and taxation and after non-controlling interests declined by 5.6 percent in the nine months through December compared with a year earlier.
MTN Group Ltd. (MTN) , Africa's biggest mobile-phone company, fell the most in a month, sliding 3.1 percent to 134 rand. Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS may file a lawsuit against the company over the acquisition of an operating license in Iran, MTN said in a statement late yesterday.
New Europe Property Investments Plc (NEP) (NEP SJ), a property investment group, climbed to its highest since its 2009 listing, gaining 2.9 percent to 36.50 rand. The company bought Modatim Investment SA and Modatim Properties SA, which own three adjoining office buildings in Timisoara, Romania's fourth- largest city.

As per an explanation found here by Mac CPub fro Excel 2011 (for OS X) supposedly you can sort "Grand Total" columns as per the following: "... Excel for Mac doesn't have a "Sort by Grand Total" option, but you can select the grand total column and then use the Sort button on the ribbon to do this."
When I attempt perform this function it unfortunately seems to be disabled as you can see in this short screencast.
Any idea as to how to allow sorting by Grand Total?

Mayor Bloomberg: Let Them Suffer? The Perils of Secularist Humanism Comments
". . . so you didn't get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit. . . ," Mayor Bloomberg said in response to criticism of his initiative to limit the use of painkillers at public hospitals.What arrogance! I find it hard to imagine that Bloomberg knows more than doctors about when and how much pain medication is appropriate to prescribe to their patients. Continue Reading

I'm definitely not a fan of Bloomberg and, like Obama, I believe he thinks he was elected dictator and, like Obama, wants to control all aspects of our lives. However, on this issue, I'm not so sure I completely disagree with him. I can't help wonder if doctors sometimes oversubscribe painkillers. Whether it's out of concern for their patients or just to charge them more I could not say. Years ago, I went into the hospital for surgery, which resulted in my being out of work for a month and a half. The day after my surgery the doctor came in and asked me if I needed anything for the pain. He was shocked when I told him I was in not pain and didn't need anything. He asked me if I was sure. And when I said I was sure, the expression on the doctor's face seemed to be a mixture of anger and disappointment. That doctor really wanted to give me some painkillers and kept insisting that I should take some. I kept refusing because I didn't need them.

Dear Michael,
I'm not certain how you are associating Humanism (secular humanism, as you're calling it) with this issue about pain medication. Did Bloomberg mention anything about Humanism? Is he even a Humanist (I don't know)? One thing is certain, I know the Humanist community well and, while no group is homogeneous, you're as likely there as anywhere to find many allies against policies of overriding doctors and limiting pain killers.
We Humanists do care for our fellow human beings, both in person and in the abstract. Compassion is the foundation of Humanism. Though I can sympathize with your description of some Humanist organizations, which are too often into religion-bashing and have often been too politicized for my own tastes. Keep in mind, too, that many of these high profile figures are in government, which means they necessarily have to look at issues on a societal-level as part of their job.
I wish you well, friend. Please don't disparage all of us :)

Bloomburg's arrogance and that of others like him in the political sphere is just what will lead this country into another civil war. His ignorance re. untreated pain is sickening. Pain is looked upon as the 5th vital sign. Untreated pain leads to loss of mobility, increased risk of cva r/t an increased blood pressure, loss of appetite which in turn leads to longer wound healing due to lack of nutrients, depression. In fact untreated chronic pain is a major cause of suicide. His lack of empathy is shocking! And what does the AMA and the Nurses ' Asssociation have to say about this? Doctors can be sued for malpractice when they don't treat pain. I don't know if it's Ca. Law or federal law, but having supported a friend through an extremely painful illness, I know that doctors and nurses must take the patient 's self assessment of their pain scale as the truth and treat them for it. I hope the AMA rips this sadistic, poor excuse for a human being a "new one ". If not, I have faith that the nurses association will! And to think, he was one of Biden's committee picks in response to Sandy Hook. Such a compassionate guy! I can't even go on this makes me so angry!! Suffice it to say that there's a special place reserved for his kind where he will get to know what it feels like to be in excruciating pain ----eternally!!!!!

Rather than try to discuss our concerns and try to work out a solution, they became defensive and kept trying to assess blame. We moved our daughter to another Catholic School in the area and she is thriving!! Shows what a difference a little concern for the kids can do. The administration at St. Sebastian's is too concerned with show and not enough with education.
This is my child's first year at St. Sebastian. This has been the best expereince. Her teacher, Ms Bossong is excellent. The education is advanced over public and most private school. The environment is so welcoming and warm. I love the ladies! They put so much effort into making sure our children are eating healthy.
My child has been in the school for 7 years and has a wonderful education so far. The school is caring and well advanced over the public. The Teacher to Student ratio is on avg 1-18. A lot of new families started at St. Sebastian and the kids take to them very well. The teachers are well educated and the staff and principal are family oriented. I recommend this school to anyone who wants a great teaching environment for their children.
Excellent School. I live close to St. Cyril and I travel to St. Sebasatian because of the wonderful teachers and education.
This school is making my Child depressed. She has to wear skirts almost all the time and she doesn't enjoy the environment there. People in her 5th grade class swear all the time and it makes her start swearing too. She knows things that 5th graders aren't suppose to know.
I have been involved as a parent with Saint Sebastian School since 1993. We have been very pleased with the performance and education of three children that have already graduated. Our 4th child is currently in 7th grade and is doing exceptionally well in this caring environment.

Last night Nightline aired a segment about UL Lafayette's New Iberia Research Center. The report relied heavily on video obtained by the Humane Society of the United States in a nine-month undercover investigation of the facility.
According to Nightline, the NIRC has received $18 million in federal funds from the National Institutes of Health since 2000, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture is now investigating NIRC's animal welfare practices. The Humane Society has also issued this 11-page summary, noting that its investigator only worked with 20 chimpanzees, only 6 percent of the the 300 animals housed there.
The HSUS has filed a 108-page complaint with the USDA that alleges 338 possible violations of the Animal Welfare Act. The HSUS also alleges there is "rampant breeding of chimpanzees at NIRC," despite a 1995 moratorium on breeding, and that 200 chimps have been born at NIRC since then.
Yesterday, UL Lafayette issued a statement about the Nightline segment before it aired, which read in part:
We take very seriously our responsibility to care for the animals housed at the center and to carry out biomedical research according to federal rules and regulations. We are driven by high standards and ethics and believe the videos distort acceptable standard procedures and incorrectly imply mistreatment of nonhuman primates at the New Iberia Research Center. We take seriously our mission to conduct research that plays a critical role in protecting the health of the nation.
Today, federal lawmakers are scheduled to introduce the Great Ape Protection Act "to phase out invasive research and testing on approximately 1,000 chimpanzees remaining in U.S. laboratories. The bill would also retire about 500 federally owned chimpanzees currently in laboratories to permanent sanctuary." And in Baton Rouge today, HSUS officials urged Gov. Bobby Jindal to retire 26 elderly chimps from the NIRC to a permanent sanctuary.

By striking a deal to lessen the blow of health insurance changes on state workers, school employees and retirees, Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration lowered the volume of criticism but gave itself and local school boards a new budget headache.

"I am only getting a little nervous about two projects — the proposed Sasol GTL facility [not the new ethylene plant] and the proposed G2X facility — both in Lake Charles. They need a hefty difference between oil and natural gas prices to make sense."
Abysmally low participation by the public has prompted the council to scuttle the 2014 survey with plans to simplify it and try again next year.
The village now says the ordinance will likely be overturned and authorities will more vigorously enforce existing leash laws.
Lower oil prices also might slow the growth of oil production in parts of the U.S., Canada and elsewhere because it will no longer be so profitable.

NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.
NOV 26 Blogger CB Forgotston is confused, he says, because Governor Bobby Jindal said higher education wouldn't get cut, but it looks like it is being cut. CB's asking: When is a cut not a cut?
NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

Classroom LED Interactive Displays
Large format touch screens are becoming a regular addition to the front of class these days. They are also a popular choice for businesses and look great in a meeting or board room setting.
As a long established supplier and installer of innovative AV equipment we have taken a keen interest in this technology as it has developed. It has taken a few years for it to filter down from the high end, high priced units first available to the more sensibly priced classroom friendly options we expertly install.
So how will you go about choosing what type of display is right for you and your working environment? My advice is to get some advice from a specialist installer. Not one of those large box shifting companies that badge themselves as education specialists. You will most likely end up speaking to an operator who will take your order and tell you the product you have chosen is the best thing since sliced bread and fit for purpose even though they have never been inside a classroom since they left school.
Too many companies will supply equipment without ever visiting you or your school to see if its going to be right. Its never going to be as simple as hanging a flat screen on a wall and plugging it in. Most of the large format touch screens suitable for a school environment are quite heavy and you should have a survey to make sure that the fabric of the wall can handle the weight. You do not want one of these falling off the wall three months after its installed. Aside from the cost of replacing a screen the health and safety implications don't bear thinking about. You will also need to know whether the electrics are situated in the right place, that all youre cabling and connections will reach, work and that the planned screen will be able to be seen from every seat in the classroom.
A good company quoting for you will not charge for a survey and the opportunity to discuss your plans and requirements. (Get some GOOD advice.) It can be a bit of a mine field so please do your research. Don't use suppliers based miles away when you have great suppliers and installers closer to home who wont have a problem popping in when they are needed.
Most of you looking at upgrading to a touch screen will already be well acquainted with your IWB. (Interactive white board) You will also be trained and experienced in using the software that goes with it such as Smart Notebook or Promethean's Activinspire to plan lessons, save and share work with other staff and students. When buying your touch screen please take your software into account. You can not legally use your Smart or Promethean software with your new screen unless you have a license! Offsted will check eventually and if you are caught using unlicensed software on your shiny new touch screen your head teacher will ultimately be responsible for the infringement.
We have seen screens demonstrated by lots of manufactures and most come bundled with their own software which when demonstrated will seem easy to use and adequate for for all your planned tasks. Please be wary! Demonstrations are designed to make the software and the screen look good. If you have the time try using the bundled software in ways that will replicate classroom scenarios, the software might well be adequate for your needs. I will say from my own experience of using some of these tools, they lack the finally honed user interfaces, and much of the functionality that are provided with Smart Notebook and Promethean Activinspire. They also cant match the vast array of readily available online resources provided on both platforms.
We have worked closely with schools over the last 15 years and have installed thousands of displays and interactive whiteboards, we understand the importance of having great software that supports your teaching.
You can get your copy of licensed software from Cablers or directly from Smart or Promethean easily enough. Just remember it will add to the total cost of the screen you are purchasing unless its bundled with the screen you buy. So what may look a great deal initially might not look so great when you budget for your preferred essential software.
If youre teaching you will most likely be used to one of Smarts or Promethean's interactive white board models, although we do still see a few Hitachi boards around. The smallest screen you will have on a IWB will be 64" and it will be in a 4 x 3 format which is non widescreen. Most of the IWB's we installed in 2013 were the larger sized 77" 3 x 4 format or 87" 16:9 wide format. It can be a little confusing but you need to keep this sizing in mind as you search out a touch screen suitable for your classroom.
Large format touch screens only display in a wide screen format which means that a 55" touch screen display which sounds quite large will in effect deliver icons on screen look much smaller than they would if displayed in a 4 x 3 format. The feed back we have received is that icons are not big enough for every child in the class to see comfortably. The bigger you can afford to go with your screen size the better the experience will be for users. Not so much the users at the front of the class interacting with the screen but certainly the children spread around the class following the lesson. We have seen quite a few of the early adopters of touch screens regret not waiting till they could afford a larger screen size. If you have a small class room then a 55" may be adequate.
Large format touch screens for schools need to be up to the job, they are going to be used day in day out. Make sure the one you buy is an "A" rated commercial display. These should be guaranteed for 50,000 plus hours use. Another option available on some screens which you may not have considered is low friction glass. You will notice it if you spend your days at the front of the class running your fingers across the screen. Another desirable option on a display that is in use all day long would be AG (anti-glare) glass on the touch panel. It will reduce eye fatigue to protect eyes of both teachers and students by significantly reducing reflection and glare on the screen.
Whatever screen option you choose you will benefit from low maintenance costs through low power consumption and eliminating the need for a projector takes with it those expensive lamp replacement charges.
Based on our knowledge of the products within the market place and from years of working with schools, local education authorities and IT support providers we make these recommendations for large format touch screens in education.
Contact Cablers for the latest offers and some good advice on all classroom multimedia solutions.

The Red-Tressed Maiden
RED she is in a robe of sable,
Rosy with pictures and tales to tell:
She is a fairy, and yet no fable,
Weaving the dreams that we love so well.
Out in the dark where the night-winds hurry
And dead leaves carpet the silent bush,
She has a charm for minds that worry,
For the worn white face a fresh young blush.
Tell her a story of some love laid in
The grave long since with a maiden white —
She will not taunt you, the Red-Tressed Maiden
Dressed in her mantle of starless night.
With fingers potent as rich wine chosen
From dusty cellars where years lie dead,
She melts the ice in the veins long frozen,
The blood runs chainless, and young and red.
Her ears have hearkened the joyous laughter,
Man-made, maid-lifted through years and years
To frescoed dome and to smoky rafter,
And tears and tears and ceaseless tears.
Old as the world, and some say older,
Is she, and yet she is young and sweet:
She heard the story the Cave-man told her,
When hearts were bolder and ruder their beat.
No tale so trifling but she will listen,
The long day ended, the day's toil done;
Then wheresoever her great eyes glisten
An ancient battle is fought and won.
She is ready to hearken to some chance roamer,
A lyre on his shoulder, a lilt on his tongue,
As she was of old to the blind-eyed Homer
Who sang high strains when the world was young.
On winter nights, when the roads are cheerless
And west winds under a frosty moon,
She paints us Summer in colours peerless
And the broad gold charm of a tropic noon.
On summer evenings, in sylvan places
(The picnic over and stars in the skies),
She heightens the blush on sun-kissed faces
And deepens the dream in dear young eyes.
And who is the Maiden? When Night is about you,
Pile high dry leaves and dead wood, and so
Make a light for the darkness within and without you . . .
And now do you see her — and now do you know?
