Spring is just a few days away (officially)! YEA!! While I am sure my area is going to get at LEAST one more big snow before it over, I am so glad to be done with winter. I dislike winter to begin with but this past winter seemed like it was the coldest and dreariest we have had in a very long time.
My favorite season is spring. Everything is so new and fresh. Yesterday is just the 2nd day that the temps got up to 60 degrees here. So guess where I was? That is right in my garden! I love getting out there a clearing away the old and uncovering the new baby leaves that are coming up!
I have a beautiful wall that my husband built two years ago.
The flowers that I planted are looking better all the time this is how it looked last summer
I can't wait to see how it looks this year! I have all perennials in it so they will only get better with time.
Gardening is an excellent source of exercise as well. I have some trees that like to grow around my fence in the back yard every year so today I am going to go home and get the shovel out and start digging because as every good gardeners knows...if you don't get the roots they will just grow back!
We are expanding our veggie garden this year. We are going to grow tomatoes, broccoli, bell peppers, lots of different lettuce, butternut squash and I can't remember what all else. I would like to grow something in containers like carrots and herbs and keep them up close the house. We will be re-doing our back yard this year, which for us means digging (thinning out) plants up and moving them to different parts of the yard so look for pictures of those pretty soon.
The idea of getting lots of exercise and eating clean, fresh food is making me long for spring even more!
Thanks for reading
I am done!
Ok before I go into this rant I better let you know. I have been sick for 3 or maybe 4 days. I can't remember and it really isn't important to the point I am trying to make (or is there a point??) OK so luckily (maybe luckily isn't the word to use), it has only been a headcold. No stomach blahs. When you are looking like the red nosed raindeer and can't sleep laying down because it only makes things worse, it gives you a long time to think. Especially in the wee hours of the morning when the house is really quite.
I made a decision. Yep all by myself. I have decided that I am not going to worry. Nope not even a little bit. Who does it help really? Not me. Not you. Not my kids. Not my husband. Not...well you get the idea. Life is short (and so am I but that isn't the point), why should I worry about what my future holds. Do I have anything to do with it other than picking a path?? Well I have no idea, but worrying about it doesn't do a darn thing!
I will do what I can. I will find super cheap or free things to do with my kids (library's are great places - movies - games - books - music ALL for FREE). The weather is getting better, which means spring is right around the corner (please please please no more snow)! I am going to be checking in the paper and on Criegslist.com for people who are looking to thin out their gardens and that is where I will be getting some new plants. I have a bike. I know how to ride it and everything. You would be amazed on how much time you can use up by getting on that thing! Ohhhh did I mention reading. I have a huge list of books that I want to read this year. My goal is 12 this year and I am already ahead of schedule. I am on my FOURTH so far! Life is good. Life is good. I will keep saying this until I believe it! Life is good! Life is good! Ok I think I got it....Life it IS good!
Sparkpeople is a wonderful place to get different perspective. So many people so many different lives. Thank you to everyone who I have read your sparkpages (light stalking anyone?) who have shown me that though my life financially may look as uncertain as it ever has in my life that it is just one little aspect of my life and not my entire life! Some of those people will never know that they have touched me (as well as many others I am sure) but THANK YOU!
And you! Thanks for reading.
man i love it when the sun shines....
I have so much going through my head right now, so forgive me if I begin to ramble...
First, I am tired! I am tried of being tired. I have so many good intentions of doing this and doing that when I get up in the morning but then after sitting behind this desk for 8-9 hours a day, pick up the kids from school and then get home I barely do a thing! I have had a hard time trying to figure out what my problem is. I have been sleeping more than I ever have in my life, which really is probably what most people NEED to sleep 7-8 hours a night. I have never slept that many hours on a regular basis, ever! My body does really well on 6-7 hours. So if I am getting at least an extra hour a night, why am I so tired?? I used to get up between 4:30 - 5 am to get my walk in on my treadmill before going to work (I have to be there at 6:30). I stopped that MONTHS ago. Thinking I would do it after work. I just rarely happens. I do good for a week or two at a time but then nothing. So I need help, maybe you all have some insight that I just don't have.
My gut is telling me that my lack of motivation...really the lack of not caring stems from something going on mentally. I know what I should be eating. I know what works for me to get in shape, I don't do it. Period. No excuses, I just don't do it. I am fully aware when I put something in my mouth if I should or shouldn't be eating it. I am very conscious about what I eat. I have been for well over a year now.
Here it is...On SP I have a few very good supporters, actually just like 2. I love these people for that! I feel like I need to branch out and find more people. I try to give a lot of support to other people but I am not feeling like I get a lot back. When I first started on SP I got a lot of support. I made a lot of SP Friends. Now most of those people are no longer active on SP. I still will stop by some of their pages and jot a message for them and let them know I am thinking of them. I spend a lot of time reading other people's blogs and commenting on almost all of them that I read, but I haven't tried to friend many of them so maybe that is my fault.
Personally, my husband has been laid off for the past six months without so much as an interview. He held the same job for the last 17 years. He is a professional, with a degree. He can't find a job. His unemployment benefits are about to end in just a couple of weeks, with no sign of any extensions in benefits. Which means we will have to soon be living off of what I make and our savings. The nearest I can tell, if we stop sending our son to a tutor, cancel our kids life insurance and pay the minimum on loans, that money will last us maybe another 5 months. It seems like a lot right? Well if I would be talking to you six months ago I would have said, yea plenty but now...It scares me to death. He made over 40 a year and now he is looking for anything that will bring in a pay check, and I do mean anything. Even seasonal work that will buy him sometime. Let me tell you, I am very greatful that we have been very wise with our money in the past. We didn't live beyond our means. Even when he lost almost $300 a week from being laid off and get unemployment we had to cut very little. The only thing we cut was putting money in savings and our one day a week dinner at a restaurant. Our local heating company has been very kind to us as well. Instead of our highest bill being over $200 a month it didn't even hit $100 this year. I think we are very thankful about that. All that being said, I am still very scared. I thought I had given it to God and I try to thank Him for all he has done for us (Philippians 4:6) but with this total lack of caring about myself I am beginning to wonder...
I am tired of feeling tired, grumpy and moody. I am so trying to look for the best in things but even some of the best get over shadowed by the bad.
Please feel free to leave whatever comments you'd like. I am not looking for pity, I am looking for help.
Thanks for reading...
I think I had a good and bad weekend. Both. Not one more than another.
On Saturday I had Bible Study from 9:30 -11 then a church committee meeting from 11 til 1. After that I went home, ate lunch and then went to the bowling ally. I am not really a bowler, my kids love it. They sometimes get a better score than me (they are 7 & 10). LOL My daughters bday was last Tuesday and she said she wanted to go bowling for her birthday, so off we went. Well it was the first day in 2010 that it got over 50 degrees. I would have much rather have been doing something outside but it wasn't about me (darn it! ) so off we went. Well it was PACKED! There was actually a waiting list! They have something like 40 lanes and we were 15th on the list. I asked my daughter if she wanted to wait and she said yes. So we waited. For about 45 minutes before she decided she was done waiting. She wanted to go home and play a game. So that is what we did. We played Uno for like two hours, it was a lot of fun because we play with all the rules except keeping score. Then had pizza and cake. Over all it was an OK day. Not especially good (but defiantly had good parts) and not bad.
On Sunday, I woke with a headache. It was my Sunday to help serve communion at church so I asked my husband to fill in for me and I stayed home while they went to church. I got to feeling better after about an hour so I decided to do some cleaning. We had decided to try a different bowling ally on Sunday afternoon so I wanted 1) get rid of my headache and 2) get some of my chores done before leaving. Well the family got home and they were back for not even an hour before the headache came back! We went anyway! We get there and they have some tournament going on so we had to wait for a few minutes before they assigned us a lane, no big deal. We paid for two games and the first game my 10 year old beat me and the 7 year old tied me! LOL It was pretty fun though. We got to the 8th frame of the second game and someone came up and said we had to be off the lane in 3 minutes because their were Leagues coming in at 4! Are you Kidding me??? Really? I was HOT. Oh sure they gave us coupons for free games but it was the whole thought of letting us pay for 2 games and not telling us we had to be done by a certain time. The kids weren't very upset about it so I tried to let it go pretty quickly. Not that it worked very well... Anyway, I never did get rid of that headache and I felt like I had this hormonal, emotional cloud over my head all day!
So here I am reflecting back and trying to come up with a list of things to be thankful for:
1) my precious daughter
2) I got some exercise by bowling
3) I had OTC meds to take for my headache
4) My husband for helping me out with church
5) my bible study and committee and the people who love me
there are so many more that I just can't list all of them!
Thanks for reading...
If you think this is a blog about me complaining about my weight you are wrong!
I have read a number of blogs about people who have gained or plateaued in their weight loss journey. They go from sad to down right beating themselves up! We need to stop this! How can anyone who has lost 5, 10, 20 pounds or more see the scale of a half pound weight gain and feel bad?! Are you kidding!?! You have lost all kinds of weight before this! Focus on that!
I too used to let the scale set my mood for the whole day. NOT ANYMORE!! Life is to short to let a piece of plastic that sits on the bathroom floor rule my life! I am not ready to stop weighing -in all together. I think it is a great tool, to keep you going forward. Did you read that? Going Forward!! Not used to slam into a wall and stop (even for just a short time). Keep going forward. Keep learning, change some things up or keep doing what you are doing, you will see the results!
OK I will step down from my soapbox now.
We can do it!!

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
Description: This 1954 Disney version of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea represented the studio's costliest and most elaborate American-filmed effort to date. Kirk Douglas plays a trouble-shooting 19th century seaman, trying to discover why so many whaling ships have been disappearing of late. Teaming with scientist Paul Lukas and diver Peter Lorre, Douglas sets sail to investigate--and is promptly captured by the megalomaniac Captain Nemo (James Mason), who skippers a lavish, scientifically advanced submarine. The film's special effects, including a giant squid, were impressive enough in 1954 to win an Academy Award.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

$350 for 4 boxes from my doc, $250 from 1800contacts and $150 from Opticontacts. Been buying from opticontacts for years -- exact same product, same quality just a very fair price. High water content lens - is very fragile so just be careful not to rip them.

Not happy with these after switching from acuvue to get more moisture. These have maybe 4-6 hours of wear time before they dried out my eyes. And 2 lenses tore after the second day of use. Too flimsy very dry....poor choice.

Today Jackson Katz spoke to an audience at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. Katz is a well known violence educator he says it's important for non-abusive men to stand up and join in on the fight against domestic violence.
"My work is not about working with offenders or perpetrators, it's working with all men especially men that see themselves as good guys and no abusive guys. How can they and how can we be strong sort of voices for non-violence and challenge other men's leadership and other men's behavior."
One of the first steps to eliminating violence in homes, Katz says, is to raise consciousness about how wide spread it is and educate people on what can be done.

|Has anyone seen/used this grill? If so, what do you think of it? Wal-mart sells it for $289. Here is a link to it. What are your opinions of it?
thanks, j.o.
Follow-Up Postings:
| The grill looks very much like the Kenmore Elite grills (made by Grand Hall) that sell for much more. The Members Mark grills at Sam's Club are manufactured by Grand Hall too, and since Sams Club is owned by Walmart, I have an even stronger feeling that this one may be manufactured by Grand Hall as well. If so, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it.
For $289 it looks like a real bargain!!!
|Wow. I've done alot of looking in the under $400 range and this one looks like great bargain. I wish I had known about this one before! I could do without their cheezy stickers, but that would not deter me at $289 for a partially stainless grill. I would definately give this grill some serious consideration at that price! The Sears Grills are also 40k btu cast iron burners, and yes it looks very much like Kenmore elite, so I'm betting it is made by the same people (Grand Hall), but for less than half the price!
|Actually, the company who owns Uniflame is BlueRhino. But, I don't know if they have a deal with some other company to make the grill. I have never heard of the brand before. I checked out the grill personally and it looked pretty good. But then again, this is my 1st time looking at grills to purchase. j.o.
If you check out the grill again, look at the regulator. I was at a local chainstore here in Salt Lake called "Shopko" and they had a new grill by Charbroil that had a great deal of SS. I looked at the regulator, just by chance, and noticed it said "Grand Hall" on it. I have to assume they are making this one too. I sure couldn't see them just selling Charbroil the regulator!
- Posted by grilldaddy (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 02 at 22:15
|I purchased one of these from Walmart in South Haven Michigan on June 25th for my cottage on Lake Michigan. I am very pleased with it so far. A few notes, the side of the grill cracked, I think due to heat. I have not fixed it yet, it doesn't cause any problems. Also, it gets pretty windy off Lake Michigan and the wind is a problem. It is not sealed very well. Other than those two items, I am happy with it. It is very durable, very well built, solid, and cooked great. For the money, I think it is the best stainless grill on the market. Although, I am shopping for a stainless steel grill for my permanant home and have ruled out this grill. I want to get something larger like the one from Cosco or the Members Mark. I think I am going to go with the Cosco for $799.
|Uniflame is definitely owned by blue rhino. Check out their website (not too impressive). They are mainly in the parasol heater business.
Lots of companies buy parts/components from other grill companies, so it's not all that surprising that the regulator on a charbroil says Grand Hall. Don't think that means Grand Hall ownes Charbroil, though. A quick look at their website says they are owned by W.C. Bradley.
|On the few reviews that I have found, this uniflame grill seems to be a good value for the money. It is owned and manufactured by Blue Rhino. Uniflame is a subsidary company. Granted, you get what you pay for, but is appears to be a strong competitor in the stainless steel market. More money is not always a better product. Sometimes it's just "packaged" better!

|Good News Translation (GNT)
|New International Version (NIV)
|12 She answered, "By the living Lord your God I swear that I don't have any bread. All I have is a handful of flour in a bowl and a bit of olive oil in a jar. I came here to gather some firewood to take back home and prepare what little I have for my son and me. That will be our last meal, and then we will starve to death."
|12 "As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread--only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it--and die."

Kahala-Cold Stone Creamery named Kevin Blackwell as its new chief executive officer after the surprise departure last week of Doug Ducey.
Blackwell will remain chairman of the company as well, officials said.
Ducey oversaw the meteoric rise of Scottsdale-based Cold Stone Creamery before its merger with Blackwell's Scottsdale fast-food company, Kahala Corp., in May. Kahala owns numerous restaurant brands including Blimpie and Great Steak & Potato Co.
Company officials would not elaborate on the reasons for Ducey's departure in a written statement other than saying "the Board of Directors exercised an option of the merger agreement to end their relationship" with Ducey.
"This is a change of direction," said Blackwell in a statement.
"After the merger I thought I wanted to slow down, but I realized that I want to remain active in the day-to-day operations."
Blackwell added, "Doug has done an incredible job with the Cold Stone brand and the merger of our two companies. It is something I intend to build on."

Further, that exculpatory language in state statutes often protect directors in connection with such actions.
As such, many companies pursue what they perceive to be social good as part of their agenda. But even these companies are interested in understanding and demonstrating how social good positively impacts the bottom line.

Ruptured AVM - page 3
I am a student in my last semester of school. I am working on my preceptorship in a local SICU, and had an extremely upsetting case yesterday. A young lady came in a few nights ago after being found unresponsive. She was... Read More
- 0Oct 23, '10 by RevolutioN2013I am not religious, and for me it would take an explanation of the science along with a healthy dose of statistics to help me understand. Since they are the kind that religious dogma trumps science it sounds like it would be helpful if you could offer to have them get their preacher in to say a prayer with them and then pull him aside and let him know what is really going on. Maybe he could help them understand. Would doing that violate anything in the ethics code?
- 0Oct 24, '10 by KenRNOK, sorry of this sounds crass, or blunt. In NC we treat brain death the exact same way as you would treat the situation if you were taking care of someone who's heart suffered fatal cardiac arrest. Once they are declared the family is given time for visitation, we often will wait for a relative to come if it's reasonable. We wouldn't wait on someone to get a visa to visit but might wait on a relative flying from California. But, the doctor right's his/her death pronouncement note in the chart and the patient is eventually removed from life support and turned over to the family as appropriate. Brain death sets forth a scenario that offers some additional opportunities, in NC anyone admitted witha Glasgow Coma Score of 5, or if a patient's Glasgow Coma Score drops below 5 must be referred to the state's organ procurement agency. Upon brain death declaration they must be given an opportunity to request organs and tissue for donation. Aside from all this clear concise information and teaching must be given to the family up front. This situation is often easier if the family is actually part of the care team, involved in rounds etc... Keeping the family out of the loop and in the waiting room serves no ones best interests. Family participation in patient rounds, codes, and daily care routines are a must for the patient and the family. Many times when a catastrophic events strike a family member there is a fair amount of secondary trauma to the family, they have to work through the information and be shown that the injury is real and then be educated toward what the medical teams expectations are for recovery. We have the occasional family who swears almighty Jesus, or Jehovah, or Abraham, or Allah will perform a miracle and raise their family member up from the sick good as new. Some times if they refuse to come around we just have to politely explain that they have been declared dead in accordance with the recognized medical standards, and state law, and we are very sorry but we have to turn the machines and the medicines off now.....click. Yeah Chaos and madness usually follows, but then they begin to realize what they refused to after a few minutes, and they leave after a bit and things keep humming along. All be it a very rare occurrence, it has happened to me twice in 12 years in the Neuro ICU. Not a pleasant experience for anyone involved.

"i am not sure if you have children--but that gives you a different perspective. sometimes in the morning when i come on to the unit and i see organ donation--i get a pit in my stomach--i think the vultures are circling!! (even though i am an organ donor and think they do wonderful work.) i think what if that was my son or daughter--if they were in an accident and i saw organ donation i would tackle them and tell them to get away from my child--but then again--i would need time "
Organ donation is another choice in end of life care. Transplant coordinators are not "vultures". They are called in when the person is being evaluated for brain death. Donation often gives the family a sense that their loved ones' death was not in vain. On the flip side, what if it were your son or daughter waiting on the transplant list? Organs aren't pulled off of some shelf. They are generous gifts from brave donor families. Calling them vultures undermines the important work they do for both donor families and transplant recipients. It's disrepectful and rude.
- 0Oct 27, '10 by JeanettePNPQuote from sistersledgehammerYes, I think the poster realizes this, that the transplant team are not "vultures." She was speaking to the emotional aspect of it--your loved one has just been declared dead and here is a team of people circling in with the intent of carving up the body to portion out the organs to more fortunate recipients. As much as you might realize the benefit of organ transplant in a "saner" moment, most people aren't fully able to feel that way right when dealing with the shock of death, particularly sudden death (as most organ donors tend to be). This is not to diminish the important life-saving work that transplant teams do, but they need to remember to do so with the utmost sensitivity and appreciation to the family of the donor.To SICUTOCRNA

- 0Oct 27, '10 by sistersledgehammerthe utmost sensivity and appreciation to the family of the donor also applies to the transplant coordinator's relationship with the nurses. Calling them vultures is rude. When I'm on a unit and the ICU nurse is screaming why am I taking care of a dead body in front of the patient's room, it's disrespectful. We all need to take a step back as nurses and appreciate that we all have one common goal which is to take care of the patient. This bickering between nurses just holds down out profession.

Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin about a number of controversial topics during the latest installment of her interview—evolution, abortion, homosexuality—but the VP nominee appeared to have the hardest time when pressed to say what newspapers and magazines she has read: "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years."
Partial Transcript from CBS News:
Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
Couric: What, specifically?
Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.
Couric: Can you name a few?
Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

Have you tried speaking to your local authority. They usually provide that kind of service.
Hi folks,
(Hoping this is the right forum, as I couldn't spot a general chat forum)
I'm after some advice...
I suspect I'm not in a unique position. I'm a relatively new IT Manager within a government school, but my skills are more than a bit rusty and I've inherited a fairly complex setup (Hyper-V, Ranger etc.). I've worked in IT for most of my professional life (15+ years), and even studied for an MCSA in 2005 (but stupidly didn't take the exams *slapped wrist*), but mostly I've not worked in the Windows server administration field. The last few years I've worked in management, hence my technical skills are not as good as they have been. But what-with-the-economy-'n-all-that I am where I am...
Anyway, enough of the sob story. Because I have the IT background at least I'm fairly quick to pick things up, and have picked up Hyper-V, Ranger etc. from scratch over the last couple of months. This forum has also been really helpful in trying to resolve things, and seems to be one of the better ones out there (kudos to the person who pointed me to it, and those who have answered).
What I would like though is some sort of professional IT advice service, if that makes sense. Not quite a full blown consultancy support contract (there's no way "we" could afford it!), but something a step up from asking questions on a forum i.e. guaranteed response, experts in their field etc. Like most if not all professions it's a case of knowledge and therefore skill, but IT can be such a broad field and getting that knowledge in a timely fashion can be the problem. The immediate thing that springs to mind is Experts Exchange, although I've not used it but it's certainly within budget.
Are there other alternatives to Experts Exchange that I'm not aware of and/or further thoughts on the whole topic?
Have you tried speaking to your local authority. They usually provide that kind of service.
although I don't know of a specific service you can use, I will say this: avoid Experts Exchange. For one thing, the advice given there is very hit and miss, but also if you were to search Google, find an Experts Exchange article then scroll to the bottom of the page, you would see the "premium only" posts anyway! [or at least you could last time I looked]
I will say that as online forums go, EduGeek is the best I know of for IT advice and the vast majority here are in a school environment so can help out massively with school specific issues and responses have always been pretty quick for me... I suggest getting involved in discussions, helping out where you can too and become a part of the community here, you'll soon learn who the best people for specific questions are
Hi @Gongalong
I would suggest 2 things. Firstly, think about whether you can fairly appraise the situation about what are the gaps in the knowledge / expertise / capacity at the school and if not, consider asking someone else to do so. This could be the LA, if you are an Academy then speak to your sponsor (or other schools in the group), another local school, respected members on EG (a pre-arranged informal visit has done wonders for some folk) or an external party ... them problem is getting an external party who is not going to look at the gaps as something they can blow out of proportion to get business.
Second, once you have an idea about what you need covering then decide whether you want to do it piecemeal (different specialist firms to look after different areas) or have a one-stop shop.
Don't forget little things like Technet, making sure you have service contracts for existing equipment and solutions (make sure support is on-site, etc), by extra support from firms who did the initial installation of any solutions you may have. Over the next 2-3 years, as you fully get back into the swing of things, you can drop some of these and do more work in-house and you have a bit of a cost saving. You might opt not to do this as you have more time to work on other areas and it is more cost effective to allow youth spend time on working with departments and managing IT Strategy than doing individual repairs of machines from spare parts. If you can manage the IT and infrastructure better at the school (e.g. print management, storage, power requirements, etc) then these can also be cost savings which allow you to cover the costs of external partners / sub-contractors.
HTH and hope it goes well. I look forward to hearing your journey at the school.
Gongalong (5th December 2011)
Sorry folks, I thought I had replied to this but I'm not seeing what I wrote.
They do support the items we buy in though e.g. Internet connection, SIMS. The former is arguably more trouble than it's worth though, due to downtime and firewall problems.
I'll ask the question though.
A friend mentioned the EE/Google "hack", but I've not been able to get it to work. I do not see the complete preview of the answer, unless I'm missing something. Mostly though I need to be able to ask the question and get the response, rather than finding previously asked questions.
Gongalong (5th December 2011), mac_shinobi (14th December 2011)
Really depends on what products/technology/Vendor products you are using?
Which ones are you're priority?
Also, there are a number of forums and pay as you go services. However, this forum is quite good. If you have any Exchange related queries, you can ping me.
What part of the country are you in @Gongalong ?
May be there's an edugeek local to you who'd be willing to have his/her brain picked in exchange for a pint occasionally!
I use experts exchange often best money i ever spent, not just for the quick answers but also for the huge amount of posts on there. Only my opinion
Experts exchange = rip off from here....I once posted a question on here and on there (roughly the same time). The answer was posted here, then a word for word copy was posted on experts exchange not half an hour later!
With some advice services you are not always paying for the expert but for people with the ability to find out answers. EE sometimes suffers from this, especially in a comparison with EG. Since EduGeek ranks very highly on searches it is only natural that the finders of information pick it up from here. The downside is that it is not attributed to the source (I have previously done that on EE and been told off by regulars as it discourages people from using EE). I don't think it is even worth going into the copyright / IPR issues that surround that ...
This is one of several reasons why I stopped posting on EE as I like to tell others how they can find information themselves ...
I love Experts Exchange... especially since reading it is free.
Think SCROLL (a lot)
You could try hitting up a campus book store and picking up some college texts on Hyper-V and 2008 R2 Server.
