Rustic-chic country estate in Spain: Maison Toscana
Maison Toscana is a rustic country estate with a Mediterranean lifestyle transformed by designer Jessica Bataille, found in the coastal town of Jávea, in the province of Alicante, Valencia, Spain. The owners discovered this dream retreat nestled in the middle of a pine forest near the beach. A 19th century villa built in traditional architecture, resulting in a comfortable home with simple and chic touches, designed to delight the senses with a slow life philosophy. Unique characteristics are featured throughout the home, such as thick stone walls, stone arches, a mediterranean garden and romantic arabic pool.
Despite the rustic building strength, the rooms exude a sophisticated romantic charm. Decorating styles and cultures with traditional Mediterranean architecture seem to intermingle; such as mixing Oriental and European antique pieces. In turn, the pursuit of warmth has been a constant. The selected textiles with rich textures of silk, velvets and lines to create an atmosphere that brings in the glamor of environments. An example of this is in the living room, where pink raw silk curtains and colorful cushions on the blue couch show a simple yet gorgeous appeal.
All lights are on dimmer switches, including the outdoors. The interior was considered essential to igniting 'magic' into the environment. Warmth was infused throughout with three fireplaces, with the fire and candles being basic to creating a cozy atmosphere and soul.

Modern country home in Sonoma wine country: In Plein Air
In Plein Air project is a modern country home designed by Ken Linsteadt Architects, located in the the Sonoma wine country landscape, California. Turning an eye to the outdoors, this metamorphosis of a traditional Tuscan villa into a modern country home frames the oak-studded beauty of the surrounding landscape from every window.
The owner's reclaimed timber business set the earthy natural palette: recycled oak, steel windows, hand-troweled plaster walls, and concrete floors and counters.
The reconfigured floor plan of the main house includes a rough-hewn timber catwalk around the double height living room, juxtaposed with steel supports and glass railings.
The kitchen, which was moved to the north side of the house, opens onto the pool terrace with a large steel and glass tilt-up window that does double duty as a canopy over the outdoor bar.

Creating a country cottage look in your home
Today we are bringing to you some wonderful ideas on how to create a cozy and welcoming country cottage living room interior in your home. Interior design this season has seen a shunning of all that is modern in favor of the traditional and the classic. The cold metals, sharp shapes and sterile feel of contemporary furniture is one to be avoided, especially in the winter when you want to make your house look and feel as cozy as possible.
Instead, people have been embracing much more traditional trends. For example, many people are choosing to warm up their house by creating a cozy cottage look. Here's how to create an authentic look in your living room:
A lot of the cozy cottage look can be created with the right furniture. A sofa is the main focal point of any living room, so it is vital that you get it right if you are to carry the look off correctly.
Instead of modern shapes and wild patterns, you should go for a traditional style of sofa in a muted yet warm color. A mid or deep brown is one of the best shades to go for, something that is both comfortable and classic.
Leather sofas can be more durable than fabric sofas but they can also be cold, contesting with the overall look you are trying to achieve. If you do go for a leather sofa, make sure you invest in a few throws to make it look more homely and welcoming.
Sleek, flat-packed furniture that fills budget furniture stores may be perfect for creating a modern look on a budget, but it will fail to create a homely feel. Instead, you should ditch the MDF and go for solid, wooden furniture for your coffee tables, sideboards and TV stands.
Painted walls are a no-no when it comes to creating the cottage look as they will leave the room looking bare. Wallpaper is the best option, so go for an understated design that will not overpower the room. A floral or leafy print will help to bring the outside in – a defining feature of the cottage look.
The thing we love about cottages is that there are lots of interesting things to look at. You should place a few framed photos, art and wall hangings around the room to really bring the space to life. A great design feature is to group your artwork together, such as the examples below.
Don't forget to dress up your space with some window treatments!

Renovation and expansion of a trullo in Italy
This incredible project is an historical preservation and extension of a small Saracen trullo, a typical rural building found in the Ostuni region of Italy, with an adjacent structure, a lamia, which remained only part of the perimeter walls. The renovation was undertaken by Luca Zanaroli Architetto with the intention to not only recover the existing buildings, but also take advantage of the possibility of creating an extension so as to triple the existing surface (originally less than 40 square meters) to establish at least four bedrooms.
Slightly recessed and lowered, the new volumes hinge the nearby structures while voids and large windows open the interior to daylight and the outdoors. Continuity between the materials and colors of surfaces smooth the transitions between the old and new. Inside, mortar coats floors and walls to unify the interior and reflect the southern daylight that enters. Minimal furniture and locally crafted objects compliment the qualities of the rustic atmosphere.

Dream country home in India: Brick Klin House
The Brick Kiln House is located in a small village Munavali, proximal to Alibaug, a favorite getaway, for affluent Bombay citizens as a place to build their dream country home. Designed by SPASM Design Architects, the house was built on three acres covered partly by a grove of Tamarind and Mango trees, with the odd, Champa, Vad tree. Part of the plot was four feet lower and was an unkempt paddy field. The front of the property is a not so busy asphalt road. When driving around the Raigad district, one often chances to see local brick stacks being baked on the green lots that surround them – some remain and are also abandoned. These form a peculiar feature of the landscape in Maharashtra. The architects wondered what it would be like to hollow out and inhabit this almost primitive mastaba like forms.
Their interest lay in using this image as a genesis of the house. Further conception, was informed by site features like prominent Tamarind trees and orientation, aspect, wind and rain direction. Long stretches of the two main wings of the 8,934 (830 square meters) house, sit at right-angles to each other and about a curious tree which has grown at a leaning angle. Every room is cut on two sides with openings ,supporting easy cross ventilation and ingress of just the right about of light…..DESI (country) houses have peculiarly dark interiors offering respite from the sun, scorched outdoors.
Attached facilities, allow for an intimate interface with the outdoors, in marked opposition to urban life, here you wouldn't need a book when you sit on the pot. The sequencing of the rooms is frugal, and in series as a farm building, you must walk outdoors to change rooms. The living space has a curious shed-like volume, where the materials of the house come together rather loosely. Insinuating incompleteness and creating a sense of being immersed in the vegetation around.
The body of the house hides under tree canopies like a gator, at the edge of a river bank. The choice of BRICK was based on color, strength, finish–blemishes of a hand-made unit were key to the overall expression. The red earth brick does not attempt to be precise, neither does it try to create patterns or jaalis as commonly seen in Indian architecture, the brick is what it is, at rest–a STACK, its mass concealing and revealing life within it. The sheer thickness–mass of the brick, keeps the interior spaces comfortably cool.
Experience of occupation takes precedence over formal gestures. Sun, rain and wind freely enter the house and will mark it over the years, the stacks will gradually get covered with luminescent moss, and nature will fight its way back. Living in a country home is about witnessing this war. The pool, takes form from the shadow of the trees on the earth below, a pattern noticed on an especially hot afternoon. In such regions water automatically becomes a source of life, getting engulfed by foliage.

Impressive salvaged farmhouse in The Netherlands
This stunning renovated farmhouse is located in Utrecht, Netherlands, designed by interior design firm VIVA VIDA. The farmhouse was quite spacious and the clients wanted it to be designed with salvaged furnishings and materials. They wanted the original atmosphere and function but with any corny interiors. The designers found the perfect match between the original character of the house and contemporary, craft customization, fitting the atmosphere that the clients wanted in the areas and in the way they wanted to live in the house.
"You can spend your time relaxing yourself and you keep surprised and puzzled. All of the spaces are intimate and with its own character. They form entirely original details like the crochet stair parts and (re) use of old materials. The functional design of the kitchen and the special box beds make it personal. Even the wallpaper in our son's bedroom is made from a photograph of my grandfather as a child around here plays. "

Two houses connected by an atrium: Sundial House
Sundial House has been designed by Eugene Stoltzfus Architect as a beautiful country home situated in Harrisonburg, Virginia that has been developed from the urban concept of two houses unified by the street between them. The integration of the site positioning, the floor plans, the 3 dimensional form, the massing of masonry and the orientation toward the view and the sun, give this passive solar house its distinctive character.
The South House, comprised of 3,660 square feet of living space includes the kitchen, dining room, and living room. It is open to the street, with no interior walls. The North House, comprised of 2,340 square feet with a full basement, including garage, is divided into private rooms: bedrooms, office, laundry, and bathrooms.
The street acts as an Atrium and contains circulation in 3 dimensions: across between the two houses, lengthwise from entrance to back door, and vertically by stair from the basement to the ground floor and on up to the second floor. The Atrium roof holds the skylight with the center rod whose shadow allows the inhabitants of this house to tell time on the walls and floors of this perfectly oriented house.

Striking rammed earth dwelling in the countryside
Sun and earth are the essence of this remarkable home called 'Solterra', which enjoys a privileged position in the spectacular high country of Victoria, Australia. Rammed earth and ironbark create a striking form, and huge expanses of glass capture the sun's warmth and light along with panoramic views across bucolic fields to snow-capped mountains and never-ending skies. The property provides an incredibly private and peaceful sanctuary from the constant noise of modern life with opportunity to pursue rural interests on a manageable holding of around 40 hectares (100 acres) of undulating pasture.
The home is naturally warm in winter and cool in summer with zones designed to provide both an intimate couples retreat and the facility to host family and friends in grand style. The four bedroom, three bath residence offers just over 4,305 square feet (400 meters square) of understated luxury accommodation, complemented by extensive ironbark decking, a spectacular infinity edge salt water pool with Italian travertine terraces and striking landscaped gardens all designed by Jack Merlo.
This spectacular property is listed for sale from here.

What's cooking?
I'm a very easy going person who enjoys the simple things in life. Having lived in seven different countries has certainly contributed to my love of travel, nature, and fine food. This has clearly influenced my prior career choice as an executive chef. It has also given me an appreciation of art (movies and theater), the importance of family (I have twin 7-year old girls whom I adore), and of course, the wonderful mystery of love. Seriously though, I'm looking for friendship first. But for true love and romance, these can only happen with your best friend. My perfect match will be my best friend. Who am I looking for? Life experiences have shown me that beautiful things come in many different packages. I'm always up for new experiences, so let me know some of your favorite undiscovered haunts. You should have a great sense of humor, and enjoy life outdoors (walking, travel, new adventures, as well as indoors. An appreciation of fine wines would be nice, and if you enjoy a nice meal I'm always happy to cook for friends. Yes, of course that chemistry thing has to be there as well, but who can tell that from a personal ad? Actually, I'm a big believer in face-to-face conversations. So you should definitely be someone who is comfortable spending a leisurely dinner engaged in a wonderful discussion about anything and everything. Sound fun? Let's start with coffee and see what develops.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Was ANYTHING retained when the Enterprise was refit?

Re: Was ANYTHING retained when the Enterprise was refit?
While the new Enterprise Class looks great on screen, I've always bitched about how it was Too different from the old ship... Too many liberties were taken with resizing and reshaping the hulls... Plus when you look at the different deck plans (compare, for instance, FJ's blueprints to, say, Strategic Design's 1701-A Deck Plans) with the addition of airlock lift hatches, the vertical intermix shaft, antimatter pods... It simply would have been more efficient to built a brand new ship from the keel up rather than "deconstruct" the Enterprise... If there's anything of the old ship left, it's got to be the innermost structural supports, because all the outer hull skin is Gone, interior compartments are rebuilt and moved around... The redundancy of the secondary hull having duplicate systems of the primary hull are gone... Instead they opted for consolidating things: instead of multiple little rec rooms scattered about, they have one huge one... Instead of various different cargo holds on different decks, they have one huge cargo facility in the secondary hull, etc...

As Balboa Park prepares for the centennial of the 1915 exposition, its cultural institutions take steps toward a more cohesive experience
"My hope is during 2015, and following 2015, it will be seen as a destination and marketing will help drive people here and kind of bring life to the park."
Telling the park's story
With roughly 14 million visitors a year — according to Balboa Park Central, the park entity that operates the visitors' center and is responsible for the park's marketing — the park isn't exactly a dead zone. And approximately half of those visitors attend a performance or go to a museum.
"Although we have a high visitation (figure), we have a tremendous story that really hasn't been fully shared," Simpson said. "People tend to come for one or two places and then tend to wander. They don't always even know what else is available to them here. So how can we make that more apparent?"
While the centennial committee is quietly approaching potential donors and sponsors to underwrite a series of high-profile events that could transform El Prado into something resembling a digitally enhanced Disneyland Electrical Parade, the park's institutions are assembling their own exhibitions, some with the help of $325,000 in grants from the committee.
"For museums, we generally plan two years in advance, sometimes three," said Deborah Klochko, the director of the Museum of Photographic Arts and the president of the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership. "So planning the right kind of exhibition for 2015 as a citywide celebration is trying to be formed is an interesting opportunity, especially when we look at 2015 as not just a single-year celebration, but an opportunity to really present the park and 'the Balboa Park experience.'
"We want people to have a good experience and come back. So we want to make sure there's real quality in our exhibitions."
The Centennial Celebration's CEO, Mike McDowell, expects those institutional efforts to form the core of the yearlong centennial fete.
"We anticipate they will provide 365 days of programming and activities for our visitors," McDowell said. "And it is from that core set of programming that we will build the rest of the celebration."
McDowell compared the event to a series of concentric circles, with the institutions at the center. "Then think about the next circle as things we'll present in the park (in the open spaces)," he said. "The next circle is things we will present in the neighborhoods, the next circle is moving out into our regional assets … ."
While all those circles will require outside funding, as much as $50 million, the core projects are largely being done under the umbrella of each institution's exhibition budget (the planning grants not withstanding), even if the exhibitions are likely to be on a larger scale given the centennial.
"I've been sitting on that 2015 planning committee for the park for five years, and from the beginning we've talked about legacy projects," said Charlotte Cagan, the director of the San Diego History Center, which will create a major, permanent exhibition related to innovation, which is the theme of the centennial, dubbed "EDGE2015." "We inherited the legacy from 1915; we're in it. And we want to leave a legacy for the next 100 years the way they did for us.

Channel Badguy video review: Scourge
By MTHarman 2 Comments
One of very favorite villains within the Marvel Universe.
Frank Simpson, AKA Nuke, AKA Scourge.
One of my most favorite series within the Dark Reign event was none other than the Thunderbolts. With a brand spankin new cast and some interesting relation among the team itself, there was that other creepy masked character that gained some interest. Known as Scourge, it was predicted that he wasn't like the former Scourge within the Marvel Universe who had a career in killing off crap-list villains.
Making his very first appearance with issue Thunderbolts 133, this masked mystery man wouldn't reveal himself until a couple issues later after learning that not only he's a cyborg, but also the psychotic soldier-of-fortune known as Nuke.
Making Thunderbolts a little bit more interesting, Nukes shirtless days found itself halted and being forced to hide behind a mask, blindly representing a name that has nothing to do with Nukes twisted sense of nationalism.
Anyways, after managing to rid the virus within my computer, Channel Badguy was back into action once again and decided to do a quick review on the guy who I was writing within Comicvine. I didn't have any plans making a video about this and this video was last minute, but that was what I found so surprising after realizing how successful I was with bringing this killer out into the open.
I do hope you enjoy the show and I thankyou for watching.

How much time passes between TMP and TWoK?

Re: How much time passes between TMP and TWoK?
"Jaws 2" is another early example of a numbered sequel, although they went with an Arabic numeral.
It's worth remembering that, before franchise films became big "tentpole" blockbusters, there was a bit of stigma attached to sequels, which were generally seen as B-movie fare. I suspect that the "Part II" thing was at least partially an attempt to make a much-hyped sequel sound classier and more "respectable" than, say, "Bride of the Son of the Godfather" or "The Return of Jaws."

LAWRENCEVILLE — Four-and-a-half months later, the man charged in a grisly triple homicide outside Snellville is in the Gwinnett County jail.
Robert Erik Bell was arrested at a New Orleans, La., homeless shelter in late October, about five weeks after police believe he shot and killed three people — including a 12-year-old boy — on Anderson Livsey Lane. Records show he was extradited last week and booked into the Gwinnett County jail just after 7 p.m. Friday.
In a chilling reminder of what allegedly happened on the night of Sept. 15, 2013, Bell's booking sheet listed his address 4630 Anderson Livsey Lane.
Gwinnett County police believe Bell, 34, and his wife had fallen on hard times and been taken in recently by Angelina Benton, whose family lived at the aforementioned address outside of Snellville. Within a few weeks, Benton, 12-year-old son Joseph McDonald, 19-year-old godson Raynard Daniel and 23-year-old boyfriend Justin Cato would all come home to gunfire.
According to authorities, Bell was armed and waiting inside the home on Sept. 15, when the family returned from a short trip in his own SUV. McDonald and Daniel were killed as they entered the home. Benton, 34, was killed in the driveway. Despite being shot in the leg, Cato managed to hide in a ditch and wait for police to arrive.
A month-plus manhunt ensued after Bell — whose wife was in Tennessee at the time — successfully fled the scene. A car stolen near the scene and later recovered in New Orleans helped lead police to Bell, who was hiding out at a homeless shelter.
A potential motive for the shooting remains unclear.
Bell is charged with three counts of murder and a single count of aggravated assault. He is being held without bond at the Gwinnett County jail.

I've repurchased this powder at least 5 or 6 times, but I don't think I'll buy this again. It was great when my skin was super oily, but now that my T-zone has become less oily over time, the powder comes off looking a little chalky and fake on my skin. I'd still recommend this to really oily skinned gals who need something cheap and effective in absorbing oil and making the skin matte-looking. I've switched over to Stila Sheer Pressed Powder because it's much more natural looking on my skin.

This powder has outstanding staying power for the price. Unfortunately, I think the "Translucent" color a little too pale, even for a gal like me who is proud of her pale complexion! The sponge applicator is the cheapest thing I've ever seen, but I apply the powder with MAC's powder brush in the morning. I don't think I'd carry it around in my make-up bag in my purse because I can't find an applicator thin enough to fit inside. I was pleasantly surprised by this powder, but I'll keep looking for another product that is truly translucent vs. ghostly pale.

I bought this a few months a go, tried it and deemed it another useless product. However I pulled it out again on halloween, because when i tried it last time it was extremely white and that's what i needed. This time I applied it with a fluffy brush and it make my face flawless! Now I've been using it everyday lightly to set my foundation and my normally oily skin holds up ALL day and looks beautiful. My skin seems to be clearing up since using this. Love this stuff! The key is to apply lightly and ditch the applicator.

Seriously, this stuff delivers. $1 for a powder that rivals $28 powder?! Why on earth would anyone keep shelling out that much money?! This stuff gets the job done! It's not actually truly translucent-more like a very, very pale yellow. Which is perfect for me-a pale, yellow-toned gal! This looks like my real skin, absorbs oil perfectly, and lasts. The packaging is crap, but who cares?! $1 here!!!

It is not translucent at all. It is chalky white. The packaging is cheap and the powder is not fine either. It's way too much fair on my skin (I used to use lightest shades in foundations) and make my skin look chalky. Will not purchase again.

*Update* I tried other powders for a while, but now that Coty Airspun has been ruined and they no longer have a real translucent powder, I am back to NYC pressed powder. They must have changed their formula because it turns orange now, but not as badly as most other powders for super-pale chicks. I suspect it does ugly things with certain foundations over a few hours, oxidizing darker as some products will do.
This is the greatest translucent powder I've found in a while. I can never match my foundation to my pale skin and go a bit darker sometimes, then follow up with this great powder. I usually stand back and look without my glasses on and can tell if my face isn't the same color as the rest of my skin ( ! ) and this passes the test every time.

I just got this pressed powder yesterday and only used it once...but I'm impressed already!!! The packaging is soooo crappy, the compact doesn't even close all the way on mine...but whats inside makes up for it. I've tried many different powders and have always come back to CoverGirl Clean pressed powder....well now I'm probably going to always come back to NYC. I got "translucent" and it's VERY light...I'm VERY pale and it suits me perfect. It goes on smooth and gives a bit of coverage (better than CG) I have combo skin and always have to blot/touch up every couple hours...but not yesterday...My face looked the same at 12am as it did when I put it on at 3pm.
It was only $2.67cad at Zellers....really you can't do better than that!!!!
UPDATE: I switched to the loose powder and I like that better...but this stuff is still good!!

I agree, this is as good as most pressed powders and better than many.
Personally I haven't had a problem with the packaging. One can always change the puff if you find a better one to replace it with, or use a brush.
This is a light color, so it would work well only on very fair-skinned people. I am very fair, but even for me, it gives me a lighter appearance, which I don't mind per se, as I am prone to redness and flushing.
I have to say that the only pressed powder I have tried that is definitively better than this is the Chanel Matte pressed powder, and that one costs $42! where this one costs less than $2.
What I do is keep the Chanel at home (it is a bit nicer in the appearance it gives the skin - nicer color (I use Beige), etc.) and then touch up with the New York Color during the day - I keep it in my purse.

Because my skin is oily (especially so during the summer months) I use blotting sheets and powder during the day to keep the shine under control. I have been reading the reviews for MAC Blot Powder, which seemed like it would be a good solution for my oily skin, but I was hesitant to spend $24 for powder. After reading the reviews for the NYC powder, I figured it was worth a try. I love this stuff. It really mattes out the shine but doesn't leave my face dry or chalky. It is so lightweight and sheer that I can put it on my face again and again if I want, and it never builds up or cakes. It also doesn't makes what lines and wrinkles I have more apparent (often a problem with many powders). Yes, the packaging is very cheap, but since I can buy 12 of these for the price of one MAC Blot, I don't mind.

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
<Edited 7/2/2006 to add tags and categories>We have recently completed work on improved support for WMI including:
Everyone that uses WMI owes a debt of gratitude to Greg Ramsey. Greg did an MMS session and lab focused on Scripting SMS using VBscript and Windows PowerShell. Jim Truher and I joined Greg to host a Birds of a Feather (BOF) session on Scripting. Greg was quite enthusiastic about the power of Windows PowerShell but during the BOF someone asked him directly, "So which is it - should we be using VBscript or Windows PowerShell to script SMS". I forgot exactly what Greg said but it was along the line so of, "if you want to do reporting, use Windows PowerShell because it is very powerful but if you want to get things done, use VBScript because you can't invoke WMI methods (at least not easily)".
This was a real wake up call for us. Greg is exactly the sort of person that we want to be a ardent, unabashed, no reservations, hard core Windows PowerShell user and the message was loud and clear - almost but not quite.
We knew that our WMI support was not what we wanted it to be but as I've mentioned many times, to ship is to choose. We thought that we had reasonable support and that WMI users wouldn't be phased by some of the deficiencies - yes calling methods was complex but we figured that if you were using WMI, you were self-qualified as being able to cope with complexity :-) .
Just to be precise, you could always call WMI methods but you had to do so using the Invoke_Method() call pass it the name of the Method and then all the parameters encoded as an array. It was probably total folly to think that this was an acceptable user-experience but it took Greg's comment to get things moving on the right track.
In RC2 this is what a WMI object looks like:
PS> $g=Get-WmiObject Win32_process -filter 'Name = "calc.exe"'PS> $g |gm -membertype "Method,Property" TypeName: System.Management.ManagementObject#root\cimv2\Win32_Process
Name MemberType Definition---- ---------- ----------AttachDebugger Method System.Management.ManagementBaseOb...GetOwner Method System.Management.ManagementBaseOb...GetOwnerSid Method System.Management.ManagementBaseOb...SetPriority Method System.Management.ManagementBaseOb...Terminate Method System.Management.ManagementBaseOb...__CLASS Property System.String __CLASS {get;}__DERIVATION Property System.String[] __DERIVATION {get;}__DYNASTY Property System.String __DYNASTY {get;}__GENUS Property System.Int32 __GENUS {get;}__NAMESPACE Property System.String __NAMESPACE {get;}__PATH Property System.String __PATH {get;}__PROPERTY_COUNT Property System.Int32 __PROPERTY_COUNT {get;}__RELPATH Property System.String __RELPATH {get;}..........
Notice that the Methods are now the WMI methods for that particular WMIObject (and not the Methods for WMI). If you want those, you can still get them using PSBASE (Remember - PSBASE is the way to bybass our type Adapter and get an the native capabilities of an object).

But now that the Instance properties are exposed, WMI objects act more like "normal" objects:PS> $g.GetOwner()__GENUS : 2__CLASS : __PARAMETERS__SUPERCLASS :__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS__RELPATH :__PROPERTY_COUNT : 3__DERIVATION : {}__SERVER :__NAMESPACE :__PATH :Domain : NTDEVReturnValue : 0User : jsnover
PS> $g.Terminate()__GENUS : 2__CLASS : __PARAMETERS__SUPERCLASS :__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS__RELPATH :__PROPERTY_COUNT : 1__DERIVATION : {}__SERVER :__NAMESPACE :__PATH :ReturnValue : 0
We have also changed the Adapted view of WMI Classes. These used to share the same adapter as WMI Instances which meant that you saw instance properties, which makes no sense. Here is what a WMI Class now looks like:PS> $c = Get-WmiObject -list |where {$_.Name -eq "Win32_Process"}PS> $c |Format-List *Name : Win32_Process__GENUS : 1__CLASS : Win32_Process__SUPERCLASS : CIM_Process__DYNASTY : CIM_ManagedSystemElement__RELPATH : Win32_Process__PROPERTY_COUNT : 45__DERIVATION : {CIM_Process, CIM_LogicalElement, CIM_ManagedSystemEleme nt}__SERVER : JPSLAP04__NAMESPACE : ROOT\cimv2__PATH : \\JPSLAP04\ROOT\cimv2:Win32_Process

In addition to these, we decided to add direct language support for WMI into Windows PowerShell.
[WMISEARCHER] is a type accelerator for a ManagementObjectSearcher. It can take a string constructor to create a searcher that you can then do a GET() on:
PS> $s = [WmiSearcher]'Select * from Win32_Process where Handlecount > 1000'
PS> $s.Get() |sort handlecount |ft handlecount,__path,name -auto
handlecount __PATH name----------- ------ ---- 1105 \\JPSLAP04\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="3724" powershell... 1132 \\JPSLAP04\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="1388" winlogon.exe 1495 \\JPSLAP04\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="2852" iexplore.exe 1699 \\JPSLAP04\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="1204" OUTLOOK.EXE 1719 \\JPSLAP04\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="1912" iexplore.exe 2579 \\JPSLAP04\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="1768" svchost.exe
[WMI] is a type accelerator for ManagementObject. This has a string constructor taking a local or absolute WMI Path to a WMI instace and returning a object bound to that instance:
PS> $p = [WMI]'\\JPSLAP04\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="1204"'PS> $p.NameOUTLOOK.EXE
[WMICLASS] is a type accelerator for ManagementClass. This has a string constructor taking a local or absolute WMI Path to a WMI class and returning a object bound to that class:
PS> $c = [WMICLASS]"root\cimv2:WIn32_Process"PS> $c |fl *Name : Win32_Process__GENUS : 1__CLASS : Win32_Process__SUPERCLASS : CIM_Process__DYNASTY : CIM_ManagedSystemElement__RELPATH : Win32_Process__PROPERTY_COUNT : 45__DERIVATION : {CIM_Process, CIM_LogicalElement, CIM_ManagedSystemEleme nt}__SERVER : JPSLAP04__NAMESPACE : ROOT\cimv2__PATH : \\JPSLAP04\ROOT\cimv2:Win32_Process
We think that these changes make Windows PowerShell THE best environment to use and script WMI. When RC2 comes out towards the end of the summer, you'll be able to kick the tires on these new features and let us know if you agree.
I want to highlight the role of user feedback in these changes. If it wasn't for Greg speaking up and giving us honest feedback about where we were not doing a good enough job, these changes would not have been made. So hat's off to Greg but also - if there is something about Windows PowerShell that you don't like - let us know - we really are listening.

I wonder why
get-wmiobject -class win32_scheduledjob
doesn't return an object, although scheduled tasks exist on the machine and the class "win32_scheduledjob" is listed by
get-wmiobject -list
I repeat the same question asked by Charlie on Nov 01 2006.
get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Service" -namespace "root\cimv2" -computername .
My above script to access Scheduled Jobs. Howvere I don't any objects returned.
Is there a way third party can implement this dynamic cmdlet like WMI object?
Current cmdlet samples are all static interface.
if scheduled jobs were created not using wmi, you won't see them in wmi. look up win32_scheduledjob in msdn for the details.
Hi I am getting the following error on my script when i try it on remote servers.
The Object exporter specified was not found.
Is there anyway to resolve this issue.
Why is there never VC++ examples described.
WMI is great integrated in our application, the DCOM API works fine, but is not as documented as you would hope.
Maybe it will come.
In the meantime, I have found a good and detailed example at:
It seems C++ developers are a dying breed.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Is it a turn off if a girl farts in your face during sex?
I know a lot of people will get on me for this, but gosh...I HATE it when a girl farts on you...ESPECIALLY DURING A 69 position. Come on man...it... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Lol me too bro. It's a natural thing their body does- so I wouldn't hold it against them, but it sure does get one's self out of the mood.
I try not to hold it against her, but she eats healthy. But she's the one who initiates the sex...and I told her I don't like it. But it's relatively minor though...but damn, she sure knows how to get my penis flaccid!
What Girls Said 2
What Guys Said 5
No it would not be a turn off for me, I mean it maybe a bit unpleasant but I would not be turned off because I know it would be an accident. It is not like she would have been trying to work the gas down and push it out in my face. Therefore I would expect her to apologise but I would tell her not to worry and I would carry on with sex with the girl.
Sounds to me you have experienced this more than once.
During the 69 who was on top? If you were on top possibly your body pressure compressed it out of her.
Another thought is she should have some idea it's fixing to blow & worn you to clear out of the blast area.
Does she laugh afterward? Maybe this is her form of kinky.
One thing is for sure. If you're not careful, you may end up with a mouthful much less the smell.
I was on the bottom...so yeah...I couldn't really escape it.
Have an opinion?

SNYDER — SHS basketball teams enjoyed a big night on Tuesday. But it was the Snyder High School squads who came away with victories as the host Tigers and Lady Tigers teamed up to sweep a District 5-3A doubleheader against Sweetwater.
Snyder's girls improved to 2-3 in district (16-9 overall) with a 56-40 win, while the boys romped to a 71-33 victory over Sweetwater for their first district win.
For the Lady Mustangs, Tuesday's defeat was a setback to their playoff hopes.
The Highland girls and Roscoe boys collected key district basketball wins on Tuesday.
The Lady Hornets are now 7-2 in District 11-A, Division II after crushing Ira, 62-27. Callie Sandus-ky's 24-point effort paced Highland, which was ahead 13-1, 31-5 and 47-15 at the breaks.
Kara Hughey added 11 points for Highland, who maintained its half-game lead over Loraine for second place. The teams meet at Highland Friday. Sierra Allen had eight points, Beth Richburg and Shyan Womack six, Jessica McCain four and Lora Stewart three.

- Four-Week Programming Event Premieres Wednesday, September 3, at 9 PM
(ET/PT) and Continues Every Wednesday in September -
SILVER SPRING, Md., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The human body is often referred to as the world's most incredible machine, but how much do we really know about what our bodies must do -- every second of every day -- to keep us alive? Prepare to be fascinated by your own body after viewing the groundbreaking television event that combines a stunning mix of high-tech graphics and live action to illustrate what makes us move, think and grow. The four-part series, BODY IN NUMBERS, premieres on Wednesday, September 3, at 9 PM (ET/PT) on Discovery Health.
BODY IN NUMBERS decodes the body's vital statistics -- showing how the heart pumps about 1 million barrels of blood during an average lifetime, and that the fastest sneeze ever recorded was clocked at 100 miles per hour. The series makes a profound impact by juxtaposing the human body with everyday objects and actions, creating a new level of understanding that will change attitudes and instill wonder. Viewers will be presented with illuminating figures such as:
-- There are 62,000 miles of blood vessels in your body -- the same distance it would take to circle the world twice over.
-- The surface area of a human lung is equal to that of a tennis court.
-- Humans can see more than 7 million different colors -- equal to a paint chart 21.75 miles long, or equivalent to 11/2 times the length of Manhattan.
BODY IN NUMBERS explores the body's extraordinary abilities and secrets with the numbers that lie behind everything we do. Have you ever thought about just how we develop from a fertilized embryo to a newborn? Or how eating and drinking change our physiology? Based on amazing facts and calculations, this series will trace the consequences of our everyday actions and explain how our bodies react and adapt.

Estamos muy agradecidos con Lucrecia, la atención de ella a los viajeros es realmente agradable, ella se esfuerza por ayudarte en todo lo que puede. Las indicaciones que nos dio para llegar fueron muy útiles y precisas, la casa esta bien en todo sentido, ubicación, tamaño, aseo. Gracias Lucrecia, volveremos. Luis y Claudia
An amazing host! Lucrecia reminded me so much of my grandma. She was so loving, so caring, so warm, and very compassionate. Her food was so so delicious! Her daughters are great! Such an extraordinary family. I will definitely recommend Lucrecia's home to anyone. Very quiet and safe neighborhood. Lucrecia walked everywhere with me, and showed me around. I really enjoyed my stay at Lucrecia's!
Our Host took about 20 minutes to come to the door because she was not well from some allergy. Another tennant tried to wake her up. We weren't even sure we had the right address as it was hard to find and we thought she forgot about us arriving. However, ALL of San Jose is hard to drive around as they have no signs - This is not the safest feeling area I've been too. The host was a lovely person and made us a nice coffee - if you don't like dogs you won't like these ones as they are not groomed very well and there was cat food morsels on the table so it's not as clean as I would keep a place if I were to rent. We never actually stayed because she uses bleach to clean and the odour was so overpowering we both felt quite sick so when we reached our destination for that evening the hosts there asked us if we wanted to stay with them and then had some wine and then we did not go back but sent her a message. I suggest getting GPS if you are driving! This would be a very very last option place for us in a tight squeeze but windows open and it doesn't feel too safe! No parking inside either so you're vehicle is at risk.
Einfache, aber saubere Unterkunft. Super Frühstück. Wenn man kein Spanisch kann, dann geht es auch mit Gesten oder dem Googleübersetzer. Sehr freundliche Wirtin.
Lucrecia was an incredible host and lovely to chat with. The breakfasts she prepared were incredible and generous. She even walked with me to Lincoln Plaza when I needed to buy some things. Her home is very clean, and the room was very comfortable. Thank you, Lucrecia!!
We stayed only one night there, the room is as it is shown on the picture. We only had the chance to see Lucrecia, she cooked us a real local breakfast, it was yummy =)
The neighboorhood is not really amazing. She was very friendly and we do not regret having passed by there!
Lucrecia was very helpful in showing us how to move around with the public bus system. She accompany us the first two days to get to know area close to her place and even rode with us to Coronado and Cascajal to check out the area. Thank you again for everything.

About the Host, Lucrecia Y Silvia
Mi nombre es Lucrecia, soy costarricense de nacimiento, pero viví muchos años en Guatemala donde forme una familia hace ya mas de 15 años. Puedo decir que me encanta conocer gente nueva, durante mucho tiempo conocí no solo Guatemala, si no que también estuve por varios lugares de Europa y casi todo América, lo que me dejo demasiadas hermosas experiencias y por supuesto mente abierta para conocer nuevas culturas y visiones de mundo.
Soy un espiritu libre y sincero, me encantan los paseos y pasarla bien con amistades y familia, tengo que aceptar que ya desde hace varios años comencé una adicción al karaoke, por lo que no se asusten de recibir una invitación mía a animarse a cantar.
Mi hija Silvia, que también vive en la casa, actualmente estudia antropología en la Universidad de Costa Rica, es una persona muy amable y le encanta conocer nuevas personas. Ademas, frecuentemente le gusta dar paseos al rededor del país, tan solo con una peque;a mochila de viaje, por lo que es buena dando consejos de lugares.
Ademas, en la casa también vive Toño y otra hija (Mariajose)

Andrew Luck and the surprise Indianapolis Colts head into Motown to take on Matthew Stafford and his Lions today from Ford Field in a battle of former No. 1 picks which should boost some nice offensive numbers through the air. The Colts come into this game playoff bound looking to pretty much lock up a wild card in the AFC. Indy however is the only team over .500 with a negative -43 point differential with most wins being close and three of four losses being blowouts. The Colts are also 2-3 on the road so this is actually a good match up for Detroit. Andrew Luck is piling up yards much like Detroit's own Matthew Stafford but his stats over all aren't very impressive. He has 13 TD's with 13 INT's and a QB rating of 76.7 versus the 96.6 the Colts are allowing. The Lions however will have to be very cognizant of Reggie Wayne as he is having a career year entering what is usually the twilight of many receivers careers. Wayne has 84 receptions on the year and is the only wide out close t...

'Fill your house with friends, I've done that too, all of my searching just to get to you' (Run Time Blues)
Jim Stewart first introduced me to The Green Boys last year and their performance at The Listening Room this past April solidified them as one of my favorite Virgina bands.
Fronted by the brothers Green of New Kent: Ryan and Sean, the fine songwriting is credited to the entire band-- a healthy sign of their cohesiveness and fraternity.
Ryan and Sean's voices are both distinctive, yet with a familial resemblance: both are lyrical heart breakers-- close to the bone and honest to god.
'Stop My Roam' starts off the record sounding like an antique recording, vintage 1930, and shifts to yet another classic resonance that only the combination of retro-fitted Wally Cleaver's Studios, The Green Boys, and the guiding hand of engineer, and new owner of the Fredericksburg studio, Jeff Covert can accomplish.
Ryan on upright bass and Jonathan Burkett on drums keep close time--spot on, with a swing and sway true to the spirit of the Honky Tonk ghosts that haunt this record. In sync, they lay down a grounding that moves the music and, in the case of 'The Run Time Blues,' provides acute tempo shifts.
The talented Michael Emmons shines on both the dobro and banjo (Run Time Blues, The Queen of Hearts) with precise runs and leads that sound effortless and fit in right where they should.
It's impressive how these guys lay it down on tape just as fitting fit as they do live. This nine song album is a fine debut. It's rare when you can say 'if you love these guys live, you'll love this record,' and vice verse, 'if you love this record, you'll love these guys live.' This may be their first album, this band may be relatively new, Ryan and Sean may share the name, but these boys aren't green--they're tried and true.
'Get a silver drum, and make like you love me, though you don't anymore.' (Song for Her)
Buy their record! http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/thegreenboys
"The Green Boys plan to release an LP within the next year. They are currently booking shows in Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Richmond, and D.C. and are open to bids from any and all other townships or villas."
P.S. Ryan, thanks again for the truck.
