Chapter One
Chapter One
If the raven flies in the time of night,
Be sure and be aware,
Something is not right.
To the lucky majority who did not live there, it was known as the East End, the Whitechapel district of London. For those who were born, lived and died there it was 'The City of Evil Night'.
One of the thousands who squeezed into those few city blocks was a young woman named Jilly. Like her mother and grandmother, she had no idea who her father was. He was just one of many bitter men, taking lonely comfort on the cold streets. Deserted by her mother at nine, survival came as it had for her hapless female ancestors, in prostitution.
It was a steaming hot and humid Sunday night. Jilly was preparing herself for the night of struggling for pennies in very dangerous ways.
"Look at her, tarting herself up like she was somethin' special. Next thing we will have to call her 'your Highness!'" one of the two whores Jilly shared her small room with laughed as Jilly tied up her hair in new pink ribbons.
"Now you be quiet, Mad Mary!" Rosie laughed and teased, "Jill's has got her fob on for tonight!"
"Ah...you are just jealous because you ain't got regulars!" Jilly sneered.
"Jesus, Jilly, no one would ever pay two times to screw Mad Mary. Come on, sweetie, I will walk down with you. I'll see what I can pick up at the Bells."
"Why'd you stay here, Jilly?" Rosie asked as they made their way down the narrow stairs and out onto the filthy, cobbled street. "I know you got a stash of money someplace! Why don't you take it and get out of this shitting hole?"
"How'd you know I have a stash?"
"Lord Sakes! You make more than all of us put together, you don't drink and hardly eat a potato...you must have a pile by now!"
"Well, that ain't none of your matter, Rosie!" Jilly answered with a touch of anger, and then softened her voice. "We were born here and we will die here. You know that! Anyway, what would I do any other place but whoring? I'll stay where I am planted till
the Lord takes me," Jilly kissed her friend's cheek and walked away. Rosie never saw her again.

FRISCO It's a frightening scenario for any utility customer: Your power company calls and says if you don't pay what you owe within a few hours, they'll turn off your electricity.But recently, in many cases, it's not your utility calling.Instead, it's crooks looking to make some easy money.
The last thing any business wants is for their power to be shut off, especially a restaurant. That's why the manager of Mojito's was so alarmed when someone claiming to be from CoServ called him and said they were sending a truck on the way to do just that.
The caller told John Urrego to make a $500 payment to stop the restaurant s power from being shut off.The caller told Urrego to purchase a pre-paid credit card at a local pharmacy to pay the bill.Urrego sent an employee out to buy one. "I thought it was real and normal, said Urrego. He said, we are calling from the electric company.We haven't received any payment."
Frisco police say the thieves are preying on people s fears.
"That's his business, said Jonathan Skertich, a Frisco police spokesman. That's his well being.That's how he feeds his family and himself. Without electricity, people won't be able to come in and buy food."
Thirty minutes later, the fake CoServ employee called back, asking for number on the $300 pre-paid credit card. Urrego gave it to them. Only then did he realize this was a scam. "The moment when I realized it, I said, wait a minute, said Urrego. But I already told him all the info."
The Frisco restaurant manager isn't the only CoServ member to come in contact with thieves posing as CoServ employees. This week, the scammers tried to steal money from customers in Lantana and Flower Mound. Last month, a 71-year-old woman in Highland Village was tricked into providing her bank debit card info.Five minutes later, $1,000 was missing from her account.
Other utilities in North Texas and throughout the U.S have reported similar scams. Police say never give out personal information over the phone.

Updated to reflect Federal Reserve QE3 announcement
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investors in the largest U.S. banks should prepare for Federal Reserve policies to turn decidedly against their favor, regardless of Thursday's announcement that the central bank will begin a third easing effort by buying $40 billion in mortgage bonds a month for the foreseeable future.
That's because the Fed's near zero interest rate policy -- now expected to continue until at least mid-2015 -- is likely to swing sharply from a bank sector earnings subsidy to a substantial hit in coming quarters.
After years of analyst warnings, net interest income, the positive difference a bank earns by extending loans and funding them with deposits will fall at an increasing rate in coming quarters, cutting interest-based earnings that count for between 40% and 70% of revenue at America's largest banks.Recently, top performing banks like Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report) have warned of a fall in interest earnings in forecasts. Meanwhile, as the issue emerges more clearly in coming quarters, Jim Sinegal, a large cap bank equity analyst at Morningstar, says it "might even be the biggest factor to what normalized bank earnings are," as investors continue to wait for a sector-wide earnings recovery. While the Fed has pushed interest rates and U.S. Treasury bond yields to record low levels, the negative impact of those policies on interest-based bank earnings has been muted by one-time factors that are running dry. As banks enter 2013, there will be less cushion against the earnings drain. In fact, the longer the Fed keeps rates low, the worse the problem is likely to get. The good news for investors is a proper understanding of interest rate dynamics on earnings will help to discriminate between the banks that see the biggest hit and those that are in a position of strength, as the sector heads into a murky 2013. Net interest income is likely to create clear earnings contrasts between players like Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report), JPMorgan (JPM - Get Report) and Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) -- whose earnings could suffer - as Citigroup (C - Get Report), Capital One (COF - Get Report), US Bancorp (USB - Get Report) and Discover Financial Services (DFS - Get Report) come out relatively unscathed. Four years into the crisis and Fed easing, net interest income has largely been a boogeyman for bank earnings even if logic implies that record low interest rates should already be a problem. For instance, as rates fall sharply, it was correct to assume banks would get less interest earnings on their loans and holdings of corporate bonds and Treasuries. But while yields on those of interest earning assets have fallen at or near record lows, the net revenue banks have earned is up sharply from pre-crisis years when rates were much higher. The reason is while interest earnings have fallen by up to 50% since the Fed stepped in, the cost to fund those assets - interest expense - has dropped at an even greater rate. For banking giants like JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, faster falling interest costs than earnings mean net interest income actually more than doubled in some cases

Starting with the RC0 release of Windows Server 2008, Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access) requires the most recent update to the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client software. This updated version is available in the beta versions of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3).
If you are taking part in a Microsoft Connect Beta program, you can download the beta versions of Windows Vista SP1 or Windows XP SP3 from the program Web page.
If you are not an administrator, and you are using TS Web Access at your workplace, contact your system administrator to determine whether your workplace is participating in a Microsoft Beta program. If it is a participant, your system administrator can help you to obtain the updated RDC client software.
When a user who has an older version of the RDC client tries to use TS Web Access, they receive an error message with a URL that points them to more information. The target URL of the link currently points to this article. You can modify the target URL by using an ASP.NET application setting. To modify the target URL, follow these steps:
Note To complete this procedure, you must be an administrator of the TS Web Access Web site.
Note To restore the link to point to the default URL, right-click the rdcInstallUrl application setting, and then click Remove.
Alternatively, you can use a text editor, such as Notepad, to directly modify the Web.config file for the TS Web Access Web site. By default, the path of the configuration file is %windir%\Web\ts\Web.config. To do this, under the <appSettings> section of the file, add an entry that is similar to the following, where URL is the target URL for the link:
<add key="rdcInstallUrl" value="http://URL" />
For more information about TS Web Access and about other Terminal Services features, see the Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services TechCenter or the TS Team Blog.
Thank you for using the pre-release version of TS Web Access.
Terminal Services Team
While currently unsupported, I have tested the 6.1 client from Server 2008 on XP SP2 and it appears to work.
I tried that too. I get an Entry Point Not Found error.
Dear all,
Good News for you all. I've got a method to make TS Web Access available on Windows XP with SP2. For more information please refer to below URL:
I've gone over the install/config of TS Web Access for two days and can't figure out why apps that are "published" on the terminal server are not being shown on the TS Web Access site. The TS Gateway/App event log tells me that "No programs on terminal server (it then names the TS Gateway servername)are configured to display in TS Web Access. Verify the program settings on that server." Why would it say that when thru the configuration wizard I have the proper TS Gateway identified as well as the terminal server (different server) identified? What am I overlooking? Thanks for the help.
I need to echo everyone else - it is absolute bullshit that Microsoft touts TS RemoteApp stuff, but you can't access it unless you're running a beta version of a service pack.
Way to compete against Citrix, guys!
Well after spending over a day trying to figure out this issue in Windows xP, I've finally put together a solution to make this work!
Check out the article I've written at my web site including a download with batch file to automate the entire process.
I tested your solution Chris, but that does not work in French language.
My God... what a flaming piece of ****
You guys can't be serious. Citrix has nothing to fear!
Citrix had never bean in fear. Citrix is MS partner. There are an agreement of absense of direct compete - MS provides basic level and Citrix - advanced. That's it. Nothing more.
And anyway - current situation is a shame to MS. Where is a simple statement that RDP Client WILL be provided for most of current OS including Mac/Linux? Otherwise we all know that it doesn't cost that.
All I can say is that it's very unprofessional that the release version of TS Webapps still links to this page.
server 2008 is out, vista sp1 is out ( on hold) and xp sp3 (also on hold) is almost out.........
I repeat my post of Feb 11, where is support for xp x64? and i second the amazement that the prod release still links to this page
I am still not able to get sp3 of XP or sp1 of vista.
Is there any way to run remote app through tsweb of server 2008 on clients ?
I am not yet able to get SP3 of XP.
Is it mandate to have this service pack to run 2008 based terminal services ? Help....
XP SP3 is officially out, it will not upgrade your IR from 6 to 7 and will allow you to connect to TS Web running on server 2008.
Does anyone know for sure if applications accessed via TS Web by more than one user at once violate the licensing agreement of that application -- i.e. running Acrobat 8 from the same sever by 2 or more people?
I reinstalled Windows XP Pro on my laptop using a slipstreamed CD with SP3. For some reason, the TS Client is not installed when you do this. It is not disabled, it is simply not installed. How can I install it?

In a realm where sorcery meets science, The Masters of the Universe set forth to protect all of Eternia from the evil onslaught of Skeletor and his evil forces. It's an epic tale of good versus evil, where there is new danger and suspense at every turn. The story we all loved from the 80's is reborn and re-launched for a new era. The heroic Masters wage a new battle against Skeletor's sinister plot to take Grayskull for his own. But a terrible mishap produces unforeseen results. What happens next will shock everyone across the face of Eternia. This first issue to the regular series sets the stage for something that no Master ever dreamed they would face.

NVsound and mplayer/xine
I have installed the nvidia drivers for my NForce2 motherboard and have everything working... Except that when I try to play a video clip via mplayer I get the following error:
/dev/dsp: cannot allocate memory
And mplayer will then hang.
Xine gives the same error -- but it will play.
Has anyone else seen this?
Re: NVsound and mplayer/xine
One thing I've seen in other forums that have helped me with mplayer is trying to use SDL for audio output. Try mplayer -ao sdl
That error does seem kinda bad though. Haven't encountered it before.
Re: NVsound and mplayer/xine
I have looked all around the internet for linux froums with a solution for this problem and found one that works for me.
(Found it (of all places) in the known bugs section for the nvsound driver)
You simply boot linux with the acpi=off option*. Aparently the driver hangs when acpi is turned on.
*You can do this by pressing F1 (if i recall) at lilo, and typing in "linux" (or your spesific linux boot selection) and then "acpi=off", enter. To make it permanent, you must edit the /etc/lilo.conf file** and run the lilo command (as root).
** just add acpi=off to the relevant boot of linux

Black Widow @ 07:56 am
At the library yesterday, I gravitated toward my usual favorite section to shelve: teen (because they have all the manga and the comic books.) So, I came across this:
Black Widow: The Name of the Rose (Margorie Liu/Daniel Acuña). According to the back cover copy, "collecting Black Widow 1-5, plus some material from Heroic Age #1."
When I started it, I was a little afraid it was going to make me feel old again, like the new Hawkeye title did. The art is similar, but deeper:
But, for some reason, I really enjoyed the heck out of this title. I think maybe it's partly the fact that Black Widow is super-competient. She also gets beaten up, being mostly human, like Clint, but... she's just so much smarter and independent. Looking back to Hawkeye at the scene where Clint can't figure out how to untangle his cords for his entertainment system and calls Iron Man/Tony Stark, it's hard not to compare it to the time Stark is called in here... to find out that the reason Black Widow was attack was because she was secretly carrying a recording device, collecting spy information on EVERYONE (ally and enemy alike). Clint comes off as a moron; Natasha kicked your butt and you didn't even know it.
There are also a couple of scene that made me hyper-aware of Black Widow's sexuality. Guess what, guys, she has boobs. But, what SHOULD feel like gratuitous fan service never entirely did--even the scene where she's tied up, naked. I think the reason was because she comes off so completely unfazed by it. Like, 'ho-hum' bad guys are trying to make me feel vulnerable using my gender. Ah, well, I guess I'll just have to escape and KICK THEIR A$$ES WHILE COMPLETELY NUDE.
It's weirdly awesome.
I recommend it.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty
Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

When East Valley cities go before the Legislature this year, they'll have only one major request: Don't take our money. Communities fear Arizona's multibillion-dollar budget crisis means lawmakers will take funds that, by a voter-approved measure, are required to be shared with cities and towns.
When East Valley cities go before the Legislature this year, they'll have only one major request: Don't take our money.
Communities fear Arizona's multibillion-dollar budget crisis means lawmakers will take funds that, by a voter-approved measure, are required to be shared with cities and towns.
But lawmakers have threatened to take that money even in better times. Cities have mostly torn up their longstanding wish lists this year, dropping normally important requests. This year, their focus is simple.
"Any and all things having to do with watching our money," said Queen Creek Town Manager John Kross.
Mesa knows not to ask for money or expect lawmakers will have the time to address many issues beyond dealing with the state's budget crisis, Mesa lobbyist Scott Butler said.
"We'll be really modest in our expectations there," Butler said.
Cities aren't sure if lawmakers will launch a serious effort to take state-shared revenue. But Rep. John McComish, R-Ahwatukee Foothills, said history demonstrates cities should be concerned.
"You're not paranoid if somebody is really out to get you," McComish said. "Cities are a little worried about state-shared revenue because in the past, somebody has been out to get it."
Cities could be forced to make draconian cuts to services if the state took funds.
Mesa receives 25 percent, or $105.1 million, of its budget from state-shared revenue. Queen Creek counted on the revenue for $3.8 million of its $20 million general fund budget this year.
Gilbert is expecting to get $36 million in state-shared revenue, almost a third of its general fund total. Chandler officials say state-shared revenue accounts for more than 30 percent of the city's operating budget.
Kross said he hoped legislators have a strong understanding of the intent behind the voter-passed measure.
"For towns like Queen Creek, we use a good portion of (state-shared revenue) to supplement our public safety program, namely our sheriff's contract, and our streets maintenance and parks maintenance, which are quality-of-life issues," Kross said.
McComish said he supports preserving the funds that cities receive.
"All we would be doing is shuffling the burden from one government entity to another," McComish said. "I don't think that's the right way to go."
The city's only other significant priority is getting legislative help to keep the Chicago Cubs in Mesa. The baseball team is expected to announce this month whether it will move spring training to Florida or stay in Mesa, and the team wants a roughly $80 million training facility to stay here.
The legislature would likely need to approve of a way to tap into tourism funds to help pay for the Cubs complex even as Mesa and the team would share costs.
The Legislature will likely make time in a busy year to address the Cubs, McComish said, given the team's high profile and economic power. Mesa estimates the team brings $52 million a year to Arizona.
"Because of the economic impact of it, I think we'll have to make time, like we're making time for other economic development issues," McComish said.
Last year, one of Queen Creek's biggest concerns was a potential moratorium on impact fees, which developers pay to help fund projects like sewer lines and streets to accommodate growth.
By the end of the session, the moratorium became a freeze on how much cities can charge.
"That's something we can live with for the time being and certainly understand the reasons for that," Kross said. "But if that were to change to a moratorium, that would be devastating for us."
Queen Creek depends on impact fees to pay for $8.5 million in debt service each year, Kross said.
Town Manager George Pettit said the effect of the better-than-expected building permit numbers on Gilbert's bottom line could easily be dimmed by vanishing state-shared revenues.
More commercial projects are in the talking stages, he said, so "there's positive things going on at the local level, but we don't know when they're going to happen, and it's all overshadowed by the ongoing financial condition of the state."
He said town officials will also be closely watching trends in environmental regulation, which could determine how much water is available to them or lead to new fees that would ultimately be passed down to local taxpayers.
The focus for the upcoming year in Chandler is on jobs, said state Sen. Jay Tibshraeny, R-Chandler.
In fall 2009, the state Legislature, working at the behest of cities like Chandler, enacted provisions to give tax incentives to solar power companies in an effort to attract firms to Arizona, as opposed to competing states like Oregon. Chandler officials have put significant effort into attracting such firms and the high-paying jobs they bring to the city.
That collaboration between state and city officials is a model that should be recreated next year for other high-paying industries like biotechnology and renewable resources, Tibshraeny said.
"We need to sit down collaboratively and talk about other areas we can work together on to attract industry to Arizona," he said.
Tribune writers Garin Groff, Amanda Keim, Blake Herzog and Ari Cohn contributed to this report.

Base Notes: Cedarwood, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Tonka Bean, Almond
Dredged this up out of the distant past because I saw the review in Turin's book. It really is an extraordinary scent, and I remember that when it was introduced it was very controversial. (Am I revealing my age here?) It was a novel use of green notes in the top to overwhelm the citrus, and the sweet floral notes and almondy, slightly powdery drydown seemed out of character with the rest of the scent. I guess we would now say that Grey Flannel's nose, André Fromentin, was a visionary. A leap of the olfactory imagination, for sure. This is technically a fougère, I guess, because of the oakmoss and tonka bean in the base (yet without the usual lavender), but it comes across as a wacky green floral, with the bitterness of petitgrain and galbanum playing against the sweeter middle and woody-oriental base notes. I rarely wear it, probably (to be honest) because even after all these years, it still shocks me a bit. But I've come to love the progression and the puzzling change to that soft drydown. Hooray for cognitive dissonance!

Trying another scent that didn't zing my strings the first time around.
Parfumerie Generale Intrigant Patchouli
For those of us who grew up in the 70's our first exposure to exotic oils probably took place in a "head shop". That store of illicit smoking paraphenalia and along with that went incense and essential oils. The most pungent of those oils was patchouli but there were hints of others underneath the smell of patchouli which created a signature "head shop" fragrance. Pierre Guillaume in 2005's Intrigant Patchouli has faithfully recreated the smell of a "head shop" circa 1975. The only question is do you want to smell like that? Intrigant Patchouli gets right down to business form the first spritz as patchouli comes right to the front and for most of the development of this scent stays right there, center stage. There are supporting notes of sandalwood, cinnamon, and vanilla; which is appropriate becasue these were also common essential oils available in any "head shop". Intrigant Patchouli never really evolves from that strong accord from beginning to end, on me. Which makes it the only linear scent I've experienced from Parfumerie Generale. Like most of the Parfumerie Generale line this has above average longevity and average sillage. The funny thing I've learned is that while I like the smell of the "head shop" I realize I don't want to smell like a "head shop"
Have a Tranquil Tuesday everyone.

Jimenez fans 10 to lead Rockies over Padres, 5-3
He's allowed 23 homers, tied with Milwaukee's Braden Looper for the major league high, in only 92 2-3 innings.
Iannetta made it 3-0 in the second with a bases-loaded bloop single to right with two outs. Stewart was thrown out trying to score from first to end the inning.
Tony Gwynn Jr. had an RBI single in the third for the Padres.
Geer (1-5) allowed five runs and seven hits in four-plus innings, walked four and struck out two.
"I was trying to pump it up a little bit," Geer said. "I wasn't too worried about command. I was trying to throw my pitches harder. I had more walks than I really wanted."
NOTES: The Padres plan to call up their top prospect, RHP Mat Latos, from Double-A San Antonio to start Sunday's game against the Rockies. The 6-foot-5 Latos was an 11th-round draft pick in 2006. He was 5-1 with a 1.91 ERA in nine starts at Double-A, and 3-0 with a 0.36 ERA in four appearances, including two starts, at Class A Fort Wayne. ... RHP Josh Banks will be designated for assignment to make room for Latos. ... The Rockies are 31-13 since Tracy was promoted from bench coach on May 29 after manager Clint Hurdle was fired. ... Padres RHP Tim Stauffer is scheduled to pitch Monday night's game against Florida. ... San Diego's Adrian Gonzalez had his 20th multi-walk game of the season, tops in the majors. He's drawn 45 walks in the last 44 games. ... The Padres recalled OF outfielder Drew Macias from Triple-A Portland for the fourth time this season. Reliever Ryan Webb was optioned to the Beavers.

The unbearable lightness of biking: new mountain bikes get lighter, smarter.
Bikes that Think?
The type of steed you need is dictated by riding style. On one extreme, strict cross-country riders planning to log maximum miles on mellow trails will still find the lightest hard-tail bikes (no rear suspension) tough to beat, because weight is everything.
At the other extreme are the downhill chargers wearing full motocross gear, along with the freestyle crowd, for whom heavier bikes with flexible suspensions that provide greater stability and control are mandatory. Moab bike shops have perfected the freestyle bikes, built for tricks and cliff drops. Park City and Salt Lake shops are the place to seek out the overbuilt downhill bikes used to bomb ski runs off-season.
The majority of us fall in the in-betweens, on a general-use cross-country bike, and that is where manufacturers have focused development.
A trick new Stable Platform Valve (SPV) front shock shows the biggest gains, eliminating the old tradeoff that for years dictated that riders who wanted cushy suspension for bombing downhill were penalized by energy-eating mushiness when pedaling uphill--as well as excessive weight. Dan Hall at the high-end Wild Rose bike shop in the Avenues has ridden the SPV system bikes and says the difference in how the SPV-shocked bike puts the pedaling energy straight to the ground is dramatic. The valve is a dampener that resists low-speed impact to fight the loss of pedaling force but opens up and softens to blast over obstacles. Bottom line? "It does the thinking for you, adding very little weight," he says. "Now you can just ride hard, keep your hands on the handlebar and pick a tough line--let the shock do the work." Top shock-makers Manitou, Fox and Rock Shox all use the SPV system or close variations.
What You Pay For
Bikes, like photography equipment, fall strongly in that realm of "you get what you pay for." The threshold of good quality for bicycles is around $1,500, Hall says, and Wild Rose builds bikes with the SPV technology starting at around $1,600; Wild Rose carries Jamis and Fisher bikes and specializes in custom bikes on Intense frames. Most used bikes can be retrofitted with an SPV for $450 to $700.
Mike Geraci, a mountain-biking zealot and a spokesman for Kona bicycles, concurs that the industry emphasis is cross-country, general-use trail bikes weighing 28 or so pounds with four or five inches of front travel--a big improvement over past models. "That translates into a plusher ride, more room for error," he says.
The new SPV-type shocks make a world of difference. "When you hammer on it, it will stiffen up for an efficient pedal stroke; then it will soften to absorb all the bumps," Geraci says. Kona offers the Dawg and Kikapu Deluxe to fit that bill, both around $1,500.
Big-wheeled bikes are another new trend and a boon to bigger riders. A 29-inch wheel rolls over larger obstacles easier than the standard 26, but comes with a slight weight disadvantage. Even without a shock, a big-wheeled bike like the Gary Fisher Sugar 292 ($2,500) feels like you have two inches of suspension, Hall says, because it rolls over obstacles so much better. Wild Rose head mechanic Tony Pereira rides up hills "long and hard," says Hall, and has switched to a 29-incher and not looked back.
Kona has tested the big wheel bikes and decided not to build one, Geraci says, with a loud raspberry: "Rotating weight is one of the biggest factors in bike performance. The heavier the wheels, the bigger you're bumming (i.e. the heavier you ride)."
Big wheels may not for sure be the next big thing in fat tiredom, but a retro explosion in single-speed mountain bikes is upon us, Hall says. Much lighter and half as costly, single-speed bikes like the Sass by Bianchi ($779) offer a fun ride free from fickle, tough-to-tune high-tech bikes and their touchy derailleurs. Plus, single-speed riders get respect from their peers ... even if they have to walk uphill at times. "It's so nice--no clunking, no chain slap, just you and the bike," says Hall. "Most serious bikers are buying one."

It's quite impressive how many different sorts of backup we've put into Vista, and the launch of home server adds another one. You can:
Now there is some confusion about system protection. First if you turn on system protection (from the option on the left of the Computer/Properties or Control Panel/System dialogs) then a scheduled process will create a restore point at Midnight (or when the system is next awake) and every time it boots. Older restore points are moved off the system to make way for new ones. That's the version you can restore to: you can't restore to a version between restore points. Vista doesn't keep every version you save, but it does give you a daily backup.
Secondly Backups are listed on the previous versions tab whether the file has changed or not. However shadow copies only appear after the file has changed.
Most of us are used to "off computer" backups, but not a "revert" facility that we can carry with us. Shadow copies aren't supposed to keep versions forever – the system will push out old backups to make way for new ones - and that kind of thing is best done with a true backup. However the is a security implication because if you lost your laptop a confidential document which you recently deleted may still be recoverable via shadow copy ... all the more reason to use technologies like bit locker.
With Home server we have an additional client which backs up any machines you have at home to the server. Flexibility is great, but I do wonder if we're creating confusion with all these options.
Now here's a thing. I was looking for somewhere to send you for more information. IT's Showtime has a video called "New Backup and offline files features in Windows Vista" It contains this "hockey stick" graph showing how we expect the amount of data in homes, and the average size of disk in use. And from that we estimate the demand for home file servers. Which brings us back to Windows home server....
Postscript. One of the teachers at my school was famous for throwing erasers out of the window of his classroom. He used to say if you can rub-out your mistakes you're more likely to make them. So this morning I managed to shift-delete a folder instead of a file... and shadow copy brought it back. I wonder if the mere act of thinking about Shadow copy made me careless :-)
Not to forget that you have another backup solution with OneCare.
That is by the way one of the really, really annoying things about OneCare: It repleaces the wonderful backup, firewall, antispyware things that are in Vista already with in some cases less good stuff, for no apparent reason.
James O'Neill summarized the different ways to backup Vista: imageX, CompletePC Backup, Vista Restore Points, Vista Backup, and Folder Redirection.
I wonder why he calls the last option "folder redirection". I only know this feature...

Everock / Nature's Peak to Open Online Retail Store To Sell VeggieDip and VeggieSpread Directly To Consumers Throughout North America
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Everock, Inc. / Nature's Peak today announces plans to open an online store to sell products directly to consumers from its website at www.NaturesPeak.com.
"We're getting significant interest from folks that want to buy our all natural sandwich spreads and vegetable dips online," said Paul Wilkinson, CEO of Nature's Peak. "And so we plan to make it possible for people to buy Nature's Peak products 24/7 – all from the comfort of their home."
In August 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce announced that its estimate of U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the second quarter of 2009 was $32.4 billion. Because of the tremendous potential of the online retail the Company believes its own online efforts will contribute significantly to the bottom line.
"At the beginning we'll probably offer only multi-jar variety packs of both VeggieDip and VeggieSpread online. However in the near future we'll likely add a number of other products to the Nature's Peak online store."
To ensure success of this important project the Company hired InterMedia Holding, Inc, a New York based ecommerce solutions provider.
"We believe its essential to have an online component to our business. And we're confident that InterMedia will complete this important project on time, on budget and with an outstanding finished product," Wilkinson added.
InterMedia has long experience and a proven track record in building, managing and maintaining online stores. They'll use their proprietary ecommerce technology platform to create a customized online store for Nature's Peak.
About Everock:
Everock produces a line of all-natural gourmet vegetable dips and sandwich spreads marketed under the Nature's Peak brand.
Both VeggieDip and VeggieSpread are 100% all-natural, vegetarian, Kosher and gluten-free, contain no preservatives, artificial ingredients, trans-fats, or sugars. And each product currently comes in six flavors each, including novel delicious flavor combinations.
Nature's Peak products may be found in natural food stores, specialty groceries as well as in regional and national grocery chains. Our products are also served by restaurants, delis and other food service providers across America.

Obtained address online but when there was no RV park at that location, called office and was directed to park. When registering, park staff noted that incorrect address was right at the top of the registration form and commented that needed to be corrected. Pros: Level, good width paved pull-throughs, good Wi-Fi, 102 channel cable TV, clean, warm bathrooms with hot water. Fenced dog run. Even though it was the last day of October, water was still on. Cons: No night lighting, some highway and train noise and wind can really gust but all tolerable. Rate was with Good Sam discount - Markk

Not sure why this place got such bad reviews. There is noise from the freeway, but there isn't anything scary about the place. Our site was a pull through with a little shade tree. It had full hookups including cable TV. The WiFi works great. We were just there overnight. - Maraywil

As other reviews have noted, this place is a ways of the Interstate but the roads are paved and in good condition. It is a beautiful location and a great place to just enjoy the peace and quiet, or to do some fishing and hiking. All of the sites are back-ins and have covered ramadas with tables. Some are double except as signed you pay only a single fee for them. There are no hookups but water is available and there is a dump station. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We will camp here again when in the area. The rate reflects our Golden Age discount. - hwybnb

Interesting park to stay overnight. Need to drive 10 miles to get to park. Scenery is nice. Unfortunately, we had a camper who ran his generator for 2 hours and it ruined the peacefulness of the evening. Restrooms not very clean and garbage containers were full. No camping hosts to be seen. Probably would not stay again unless you like boon docking. - bostonblackie

This is a national forest campground adjacent to a privately-owned marina right on the Flaming Gorge/Green River. Wind break/shade shelters; some trees for natural shade. We paid $13 per might with Golden Age Passport. Great value. Ranger station on site; but not manned during the two days we were there. Campground host available. - hartk1
Jun 2013 - $13.00
This can be confusing. There are TWO options here: a privately run RV park known as Buckboard Marina, and the Ashley National Forest Service Buckboard Crossing Campground. We selected the FS site, (the first one you see on your right) with electric only, for $13 per night, using Golden Age Access card. The private park appears to have more amenities for a higher price, but we only needed a level place with elec for one night. This is an older cg, but each site has a table in a wind shelter. CG host greeted us with a friendly smile and offered info about the area. Showers and bathrooms are very aged concrete structures but as clean as possible. Sites are gravel and fairly level, with plenty of space between. Beautiful views, not many trees. We would stay here again. Below is the description from the USDA website, for clarification. Buckboard Crossing Campground: Located 20 miles from Green River, Wyoming on Highway 530. 68 single units, shower building, some electrical sites, potable water, restrooms, paved road, cabanas with picnic tables, fire rings and grills. Access to lake via boat ramp. High desert terrain, few trees. Rates $18-$22/single site. Reservations taken by www.recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777, some 1st come 1st serve sites are available in each loop. - Gma Terrie

Nice campground with electrical and water only. I think this campground could be dusty when busy, but if people would slow down that would help. Then again, I think most of them live on dirt roads anyway. Oh yes I would come back to this campground. Was very pretty with the Gorge. - monaco cruiser

The roads and sites of this campground are all gravel and somewhat level. They should put some more gravel in parts of the roads and sites. All sites have a full hookup. It is very quiet and scenic here. The distance to the neighbors is pretty close. The campground does not offer WiFi and our Verizon aircard also didn't get a signal. We would have stayed longer if we could get an internet connection. The price for one night in this beautiful place ($25 + tax) is fair. Scenic, quiet, (somewhat) level sites, full hookups and a fair price make a total of 5 points. - RVer from Oregon

This is a privately operated park on Forest Service land. It is located right next to the Forest Service campground. The park itself was just fine. There were full hookups, but that is where the amenities ended. The big draw to the area is fishing, and there seemed to be a lot of seasonal residents. The problem with the campground is the staff. The office is located in the marina store. The women who were working the weekend we were there were very rude and actually lied to us more than once. There is absolutely no cell or air-card service. We had to drive several miles to the top of a hill for reception. This is unnerving due to serious health problems. The campground is dirt and gravel. They did have a nice, little, green lawn at each site, but there was no decent place to walk a dog. The office staff told me in no uncertain terms to keep my dog on a leash; yet there were many dogs running loose or staked outside and dog waste was not picked up. I would not camp here again. - RosieandThumper

Price is for a site with power only. Park was technically still closed for winter (and it snowed that night) but the owner kindly came over and got us settled, which we greatly appreciated.

What a great little campground. This is an older KOA that is kept up nicely. It is primarily grass and gravel, and the sites are close to level. It has all the amenities including a pool, volleyball court, covered picnic area, a playground, and a fenced (grassy and clean) dog area. There are two pluses to this park, the owner (or manager) and the distance to the freeway. It is located a mile off the freeway making it VERY quiet, yet it is a straight shot back on the road. And the staff was very helpful and nice. The sites may be tight if the park were full, but there were not many people when we stayed there. We would and probably will be back again. - SAU51

A basic KOA. Sites are on grass with gravel tire tracks. Need blocks to get level. Wi-Fi was poor. Verizon was fine. Lyman is close to the fort at Fort Bridger state park. Try "The Cafe" at the truck stop on I-80. Looks like a dive but the food is very good and reasonably priced. - Gary Camp-Inn

Right of I-80, exit 99. Huge gravel parking lot with some fencing in between, picnic table, no grass. Good sized & well stocked store, very nice staff, pool, laundry, really big fenced dog area. Wifi really bad, 4 different Tengo Internet antennae but none of them would connect, had to use personal hotspot instead. The overnight sites are in the front open area by the office spaced away from the permanent residents. Not much at all here, there's hills right behind us and the freeway in front but it's not loud at all. Tanks in front of rv park, didn't feel it was a hazard and we weren't bothered by any train noise. - Lawsons

This is the most expensive KOA we have stayed at. Last summer it was over $60. That is the reason for the *6* rating. They are really the only game in this area of Wyoming and they charge accordingly. All gravel sites. Easy entry and exit for our 57' total rv. - Full Timers 2

this place has so much potential, yet it is a difficult and inconvenient place to stay. the sites are gravel and not level, but the most difficult thing to deal with is the placement of the hookups. they are inside a fenced area, and you have to walk around to get to them. this could be solved easily if they would just cut a gap in the fence in each site. but the sewer and water are still a long distance and you need plenty of length. it was nice and quiet, and has a lot of potential if they would just do a few minor improvements. - elizabeth123

As this is at a fairgrounds, you may want to check their website before staying here to see if the fair is in progress. No reservations, but lots of sites, all gravel back in, no shade. Some are not very level. When you get there, you must go to the Caretaker's house to register, be sure you don't take a site that isn't in service. There is an inconvenient fence protecting the hookups, I used a step stool to get over it. I would stay here again. - dzwelch

This campground is a typical KOA with very active managers/owner. The sites are all gravel, mostly level. There is grass at each site and while not yet fully mature, there are nightly sprinklers and TLC that is improving this. The all around feel of this place is that the owners are working hard to improve an develop the campground. It deserves a good rep. Tent sites are large and well cared for. Each campsite is raked and cleaned as soon as it is vacated. Maintenance work is being done on a daily basis. The pool is clean and pleasant. The bathrooms are not new but they are kept very clean. The staff are very accommodating, bending over backwards to stop us from having to move to another site when we extended our stay. WiFi is one of the better ones we've encountered in a while. Not a lakefront property in the Flaming Gorge region but when you're looking for a friendly and properly cared for full service campground, this is it. - CK Beaver

This KOA is easy to get into and can accommodate large rigs. Sites are gravel and fairly level, but there's not much grass. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We made reservations late and had to change sites in order to stay 2 nights. They tried hard to find a way to keep me from having to move. Most of the back-in sites have good shade trees; pull throughs are in the sun. Wi-Fi works fairly well. We would stay here again. - Haggbloom

A very nice clean camp. We had called ahead for a reservation and was told to pick a site when we got here. Sites are very level, had no problem setting up.

CG is on the Hams Fork River across from Union Pacific switching yard. Seldom are whistles heard but there is a lot of freight traffic through Kemmerer. Owner is not on site, but someone does come around once a day to check on arrivals and departures. There are several long term residents in the CG, well kept sites. There are 10 paved pull-through sites with full hook-ups. There are young shade trees. The cable TV draws 4 channels and Wi-Fi is not great. We used our own devices and had a 5 bar, 4G signal. Cell phones worked well. One RVer apparently came here without reservation and had to leave, in spite of the fact there are always 7 or 8 open sites available. There is no laundry and no restrooms and/or showers. The building is locked up and long unused. No one ever mans the reception station. As long as you have a reservation you may pick your site and deposit your money in the drop box. Close to Fossil Butte National Monument but a long way from everything else. Abundant wildlife along the river and a park across the highway with walking trails and a golf course. An okay place to rest and relax before moving on. We probably won't be back here. - SilverBear
Aug 2013 - $35.00
Past reviews made me think this might be the lesser of the evils but we wanted a site near Fossil Butte. This was a very nice little park. There do seem to be some long term campers here but everything looked neat and clean. Sites well kept. Some sites were well maintained gravel, some were paved. Some back ins and some pull throughs. We parked on a paved site. It is near the rail line but far enough away that it was not a bother, just rather a pleasant reminder of life moving around us. Not near a crossing so no whistles. Small river runs by. Took a walk and saw a beaver dam, two beaver, and four buck deer in full velvet. Spent one night. Would come here again. - BMain

There is evidence that this park has had better days. Everything they claim is there is as long as you include dandelions in their description of grassy sites. Some evidence of gravel is visible on most sites. Did I mention none of them appears to be particularly level. The rate ($30) is high for the condition of the place. On the flip side they have a very short season to break even. Of the three options available, this place is the least offensive. One is very close to a very busy rail yard and the other is in a bar parking lot. - CharlieB

Roads are poor gravel and the sites are dirt. You can't make reservations and there is no office that I could tell. Just put your money in an envelope at the entrance and look for a open site. I didn't find a site that looked open even though it looks like there are many incomplete sites under construction. I ended up calling their phone and got ahold of what appeared to be the handyman who put me into a site that he said was reserved but they were not here yet??? I stayed here two nights. This could be a great place if they set it up like a "real" RV park. - Dennis_K

This is an excellent campground that has been updated recently. Each space has room for a camper, vehicle and boat. The pad/parking area and picnic area for each site is paved. The fire rings are cement and new, and so is the picnic table. The only thing this campground lacks is shade trees. There are several new trees planted in the campground, so the shade will be here in a few years. The views of the mountains and lake are wonderful. Antelope were in the campground the day we camped here. Our rate reflects our Senior Pass rate. - Bobbi1948

We love this campground especially if you can get close to the water for amazing views. They don't have water hookups but the camp hosts unlocked the faucet to allow us to fill a small pool for the kids and fill our tank. The showers were clean if you used them right after the camp hosts came through but they really needed either a garbage in the shower area or another cleaning. People are so disrespectful and left their trash in the showers. Only downside was lack of camp hosts. There were quite a few but they were all set up quite away from the campers. Camp hosts never checked in on us and we were there for 9 days. Campsite really needs speed bumps put out to keep people from racing through the campground. - Wendle123

Mixed feelings about this place. On the positive: we enjoyed having access to the lake for our dog (National Forest folks are very dog friendly) and lots of area to walk. Pretty sunrises and sunsets and a very nice drive north to reach this campground from Colorado. On the negative: no water at sites, no apparent enforcement of quiet hours (boat people seem to be party people), and since we were there Monday and Tuesday, no restaurant (it's open Wed-Sat) and no clear boat rental services that we could find. We would check out other area campgrounds first before staying at this one. - JCLC

As others who have commented, it's a bare bones park with fair rates, particularly considering it's here or nowhere. Staff is very friendly, the food isn't bad. But the water at our site, on the back row, maybe #12, a back-in, was so bad it plugged both our external filter on the hose and the interior filter under the sink. Completely, as in no water flow. Additionally, not knowing what had caused the failure, I filled three gallon jugs from the spigot. The next morning the silt had settled and the lower third of the jugs were solidly rust colored. - cekkk

It is difficult to rate a park like this. It is the only available park with utilities in the area. The views of the surrounding mountains is good, but the park's appearance has much to be desired. Both my cell signal and my Internet signal (air card) were the best I have ever experienced. 50 amp service is only available in back-in sites. Make sure that you have a water restrictor as the pressure could put out a high rise fire. The altitude is 6,371' so if you have breathing issues this is not the place to stay. - Don A

The camphost was very helpful and went out of his way to accommodate our request. The park is well maintained with only a few trees that need to be cut back for larger rigs. It does have paved streets and pads. There is no dump station (although the entrance board states that is does have a DS). There are water spigots to fill your fresh water tank, but bring your rubber hose tip because there are no threads. The closest dump station is under 5 miles away at $15 dollars per use. We enjoyed this campground as it is very quiet at night and has really beautiful views of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. We did not use the main bathrooms/showers at the front entrance, but there are vault toilets placed all over the park - which we also did not use. - OKC Couple

Good paved interior roads and pads. Lots of trees for privacy between sites. Several very large sites available. Only a very few with a view of the reservoir. If you don't have a boat or want to fish, not much to do in the area. There are flush toilets and showers but no dump station. Sandy beach for swimming nearby. $10 is Golden Age rate. - mvano

No trees, picnic tables have shades over them. Bathrooms were smelly, no showers are available. Dump station access is OK. It's a short walk to the edge of the reservoir and a boat ramp. Hosts totally ignored us. - rambeau

This is a Camperworld Resort members only campground. This park is surrounded by forest service property and is a short distance to the Flaming Gorge Dam. There is a basketball court, sand volleyball court, a playground with a grassy area and games. There are many four-wheeler, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and boating activities in the area at 7000'. The lady in the office is very friendly and informational about the area. Deer are often seen in the park area. Full hook-ups, pull throughs and back-ins with trees are available. We were able to get Direct TV and antenna channels. There are many scenic drives from this location and not very far from Wyoming and Colorado. - The Austins

Camp "host" was useless when I stopped to ask for information. We had to make a tight loop to get back to the entrance to the camping area. Site #4 was adequate for a 40' motorhome. Very close to the Flaming Gorge Dam. It was on the road that we were traveling and it was time to stop. Otherwise, we would not have stopped here. If you want a primitive campsite near the water, it would be fine. Nightly rate was using Golden Age Passport. - TexasRee

We could see the Flaming Gorge Reservoir from our dining window. The campground is about 10 miles from the visit center for the Gorge Dam and the great flyfishing on the Green River. About 1/2 sites are reservable. Water is from spigots, but available for RV tank filling near entrance. - bugsy

Nice interior roads but a little narrow. No services. Dump station and potable water available. Asphalt sites with tables and fire pits. Really pretty campground near the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Verizon Wireless was on Extended Network. No WiFi. Very nice staff. - Our Cow
