When the Jaguars take the field Monday night against the Ravens, it'll have been a little more than a year since the franchise's last appearance on "Monday Night Football." For Jacksonville's sake, they're hoping this time history doesn't repeat itself.
Last season, the Jaguars hosted divisional rival Tennessee in a crucial Week 6 matchup. At the time the Jaguars were aiming to unseat the Colts from the top of the AFC South, a goal they nearly achieved until the final weeks of the season.
Against the Titans, however, things unraveled rather quickly. Tennessee scored early in the first quarter on a touchdown pass from Kerry Collins to Kenny Britt, before trouncing the Jaguars, 30-3. Jacksonville's lone score was a third-quarter field goal by kicker Josh Scobee.
Statistically, last season's loss wasn't pretty, particularly in front of a national audience. Quarterbacks David Garrard and Trent Edwards each struggled, throwing interceptions and throwing for less than 150 yards. Maurice Jones-Drew was held in check for only 57 yards on 17 carries, while a 23 percent efficiency on third down left little chance for the home team to come away with the victory.
On the other side of the ball the Jaguars played just as poorly. Both Titans quarterbacks had success through the air, tossing three touchdowns, offering a complement to star running back Chris Johnson. The speedy Johnson rushed for 111 yards and a score, part of a collective effort that turned the ball over zero times.
The loss then put the Jaguars at 3-3, while a loss Monday to Baltimore would slide Jacksonville to its sixth straight loss and in danger of being passed by the Colts at the bottom of the AFC South.
Most of the faces have changed since last year's Monday night debacle, but the Jaguars are struggling and what better spot to showcase a turnaround then on "Monday Night Football," assuming it goes better than last time.

The Best
This is the best hair color I have ever used. I am going gray, and this matches my hair color perfectly. I apply it with a brush, using two mirrors - 3 in fact to get the back applied. I only use half the box for one use, and I usually wait 3 or 4 weeks before coloring. Highly recommend this product. PS I have light brown hair, and after experimenting I found 6N to be the right color for me. It is called Dark Blonde, but however, that's the one for me!

LAGUNA WOODS – The United Mutual board of directors on Tuesday approved the ballot for a special election to remove all 11 of its directors and appropriated $20,000 for election services.
Ballots will be mailed to United members May 30, and must be returned by 5 p.m. June 30. The recall ballot count will take place at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 2 in the Community Center Board Room.
The effort to unseat the United board was launched April 8 by residents' group Enough is Enough, which submitted petitions signed by 440 of United's 6,323 shareholders – enough to meet the 5 percent requirement to hold a membership vote under California Corporations Code.
If the recall succeeds, United will call for candidates to fill the vacancies and a subsequent election will be held. But some residents said if the recall passes, the positions should be filled immediately. They suggested the election of new directors be included on the recall ballot.
"Not only is this the right thing to do," Maggie Blackwell said, "but it will save us $20,000 (for a second election.)
Blackwell and others cited United Bylaws Section 4 (d)(i), which states: …any director may be removed, with or without cause, by vote of the Members of the Corporation entitled to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Corporation, and a successor then and there may be elected by the Members to fill the vacancy thus created."
United attorney Jeff Beaumont countered there is no mandate to hold the elections concurrently. "That word 'may' (in the final sentence) is there for a reason – to make sure you can follow and meet those requirements under the existing election rules."
Beaumont also updated the board on United's lawsuit against Golden Rain Foundation. On April 28, United sought a court order ordering GRF to stop construction on its Recreation Master Plan pending final resolution of the case. "Since then we have not received a decision from the judge, which tells me there are a lot of issues the judge is trying to work out."
The average resale price in United Mutual in April was $212,600, up from $157,898 in April 2013, according to a recent Community Services Department report. Resales year-to-date numbered 132, down from 195 the same time last year. Sales volume in April was $9.1 million, compared with $9.6 million in April 2013.

Mr. WALDEN of Oregon. I thank the ranking member of the committee, my friend and colleague from California.
Mr. Speaker, tonight I must rise to strongly urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help us deal with a very real emergency in the West and across the country by supporting this measure to fund rural schools and roads, and to help make sure that our farmers and ranchers and those who fish get the disaster aid that they have needed for some time.
And I have to forcefully disagree with the statement of administration policy issued by this administration which threatens a Presidential veto. To say that the closing of jails and schools and libraries, as is occurring right now in my district and in others, is not somehow an emergency is to simply ignore the reality of what is happening in the rural West. It is outrageous. Enough is enough.
First, the Federal courts and the government shut down the timber industry and timber harvest on Federal lands and took away our jobs in rural communities. Then the Federal Government quit effectively managing those forests. And last year, we again paid the price with 10 million acres of Federal land that burned at a cost of a billion and a half for taxpayers to extinguish those fires. But it gets worse. The Federal Government has failed to replant a million acres of Federal forest lands, America's forest lands that have burned over the years. And now it has broken a hundred-year promise to the rural communities who used to depend on the revenues from these forests that now aren't even managed.
And now the President threatens to veto this emergency funding bill designed to pay for firefighting, designed to pay for fishermen whose season was shut down last year, and to pay for keeping schools open and jails open and roads open, and providing disaster aid to farmers and ranchers. If we don't do this advanced funding for firefighting, they will dip into the accounts of the Forest Service and they won't do the very kind of work that needs to be done in the forest to prevent these kind of catastrophic fires that we are seeing over and over and over again. It is the same process that we decry is occurring in the military if we don't properly fund our troops. They will rip into these accounts. They will cancel the contracts, and they will set us behind. That is what happened to the Forest Service.
Enough is enough. The President should not veto this bill, and this Congress should pass it.

I run two networks, one which is a standard network in that it has connectivity to the Internet, and a second network that is highly secure and has no Internet connection of any kind.
Can I run Spiceworks, or a portion there of, on my secure network and export the results to the one I used now on our standard network?
Currently I am manually adding machines and switches to Spiceworks. Our auditor isn't entirely happy with that process however.
Thanks for your help.

The stand-alone agent docs say to copy a spiceworks.dll file which I couldn't find. I do have a copy of the msvcrt-ruby18.dll file, which is the old version according to the docs so I copied that.
It appears to work. I ran sagent with the -i interactive option and I am getting data. Looks like it will take a bit more work to get it to do exactly what I want, but the basic install is working.
Thanks for the help

It might be easier to run Spiceworks on the secure network and have two separate inventories.
I assume the isolation of the secure network prevents those devices from contacting/connecting to the current Spiceworks server?
Jun 26, 2009 at 1:00 UTC
Ben, that's correct. It is also has no internet connection of any kind, thus I assumed an instance of Spiceworks would not run since it connects to wants an internet connection to run. Or at least that' my understanding of Spiceworks.

Irish, no SW doesn't require an internet connection unless you want to download reports and plugins, only local network connection to scan devices on that network.
But if you want to have all devices from both networks in one inventory, then you still need to implement the standalone agent approach. If you don't mind having two separate inventories, then having two separate SW installations is the best option.
Jun 26, 2009 at 1:54 UTC
ok. I'll setup the full version of Spiceworks and the standalone agent also. Our auditors want everything in one inventory. That's what started my inquiry actually.
Thanks for the ideas.

I Just received this in the mail today (I registered with go daddy from SBS 2008)….
"They look like a government official domain name authority with a Canadian flag on their envelope. They also have the same color envelope that you would expect from Canadian Government."
"I've been receiving these letters every single year a few months before any one of my domains is set to expire.
This company is clearly harvesting WHOIS data in violation of their ICANN agreement to send official-looking "expiration notices" to domain owners, many of whom unwittingly send in payment, unaware that the "Domain Registry of Canada" is merely a company attempting the entirely unethical practice of domain slamming.
Since 2001, this company has been soliciting domain transfers under the guise of renewing the registration with the existing registrar. Of course, their prices are ridiculously expensive — $40 per year for a domain name — and that's part of why I didn't fall for it, since I operate my own domain registrar and I know the value of domain registration services aren't that high."

Socialite Kim Kardashian came under fire from her Twitter.com followers on Tuesday, February 16 after she nearly disclosed the identity of an undercover U.S. air marshal while onboard a flight bound for Los Angeles. The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star logged on to the micro-blogging website after boarding a plane in New York and told fans she was seated next to a top secret agent, whose identity is concealed to ensure the safety of fellow passengers.
She wrote, "I'm on the airplane…love wifi. I am sitting next to an Air Marshall (sic)! Jim the air marshall (sic) makes me feel safe!" Kardashian's 'tweet ' sparked fury among some of her followers, who raised concerns about the star exposing such privileged information.
But Kardashian brushed off the criticism and defended her air companion, whose full name was not revealed. She responded, "RELAX I just told u guys the Air Marshall (sic) is sitting next to me, highly doubt anyone is twittering like me on this flight! Shhh."
"Air Marshall's (sic) are supposed to keep their identity concealed. He did! I am just a private eye & assumed, so I asked him & he was honest!"

JADI:Malaysia's Only Toner Manufacturer Hopefull For Better Days Ahead

JADI:Malaysia's Only Toner Manufacturer Hopefull For Better Days Ahead
Jadi sets the tone for better days ahead
by yvonne tan
JADI Imaging Holdings Bhd is one of those companies that attracted a fair bit of attention when it was first listed but disappeared off the radar before it could come close to being a favourite with investors.
A reason for this could be that investors were put off by the ink toner manufacturer's huge capital expenditure (capex) that has been a drag on the company's profits post-initial public offering (IPO).
Jadi's head office in Shah Alam. The company is the only toner manufacturer in Malaysia and the largest in Asia- Pacific.
At the height of investor interest in the company which makes toners mainly for printers, photocopiers and fax machines, its shares surged to 47.5 sen.
At last look, it was 18.5 sen, a shade below 19.55 sen per share, which was the initial cost of the stock at the point of IPO.
"Investors are mostly alike – if the stock is performing, everybody chases it. Once it's quiet, everyone stays away," laments executive chairman and group chief executive officer K.S. Liew.
Liew, who controls 32.2% of Main Market-listed Jadi, says over the last few years, the company has been busy focusing on growing its business at the expense of a ballooning capex. For a small company, it has spent at least RM100mil over the past four to five years and still has to make depreciation charge-outs because of this for a seemingly long time.
Net profit margins have also been squeezed to below 3% from the previous double-digits.
"We've thought of making several big write-offs but are still weighing our options," Liew says.
Still, the depreciation charges, he says, are mainly on non-cashflow items. "So, we are still cashflow-positive. The heavy capex will be good in the long-term, if we didn't go for it, we will still be at one factory."
Nothwistanding its high capex, Liew says the money, which was mainly internally-generated, was used for investments in "several projects", which he hopes will eventually bear fruit and lift the company to a new phase of growth.
"We expect to see some form of results on our bottom and top-line by next year but our plans are mostly for the long-term."
Among its investments, it has spent about RM20mil on producing its own resin, the main raw material for the production of its toner products which total about 100.
This will save the company about RM3mil a year, according to Liew, and could possibly make it more money when the company is ready to sell it to third parties, possibly by next year.
Jadi has also invested in the production of higher-value chemically-produced toners that should fetch higher margins than its current conventional toners.
He admits that the plan to venture into chemically-produced toners has been on the plate for some time.
"We have been experiencing some hiccups but recently have had Japanese expertise to come in and fine-tune things and so are on track to start on this soon."
Liew also has a merger and acquisition (M&A) strategy planned for Jadi and is speaking with several "strategic" investors, which he hopes can add value to its current network of customers as part of its efforts to shore up profits.
It is also studying new areas of printing, including for commercial packaging.
For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2013, the company made a net profit of RM2.2mil on a revenue of RM75.2mil. In its most recent quarter ended March 31, it registered a net profit of RM170,000 on revenue of RM17.8mil.
"We are going through a few phases of expansion. When we first got listed in 2006, we were very small – at that point in time, we had one factory. Now we have four including one in Suzhou, China."
All of its facilities are currently running at a 60% capacity utilisation rate, according to Liew.
The company is the only toner manufacturer in Malaysia and the largest in Asia-Pacific, with a production capacity of about 8,000 tonnes a year.
"We have no competitor in Malaysia; our competitors are mainly from China and Taiwan."
In the global after-market, it has about 2% market share. "So, there remains a lot of potential," Liew says.
Sunset Industry?
He says while it cannot be denied that with the advent of technology, there has been a downtrend when it comes to the printing industry, this is often generalised.
"A lot of people say printing is sunset but you have to look at it as having different segments.
"For the consumer/home printing business, yes, it is tapering off but this is not the biggest market. The biggest market is office printing and that has never come down, it has actually moved on to colour printing which offers higher value and which is a growth area we are looking at."
Citing reports, he notes that sales in the global colour printing market are currently at about US$25bil (RM79bil), which suggests huge potential for Jadi.
He cites another catalyst for Jadi's growth, moving forward.
"One of the main players based in South Korea, LG Chem Ltd, has decided to stop its toner production business. This is an opportunity for us to tap into their markets."
According to reports, LG Chem currently manufactures up to 6,000 tonnes of toner per year for major IT companies' products spread over 50 countries.
"Our capacity is about 8,000 tonnes per year. Last year, we did only about 4,000 tonnes. By the end of this month, LG Chem will reportedly stop, so we think we can tap into some of its markets," he says.
Export markets
Almost all of Jadi's toners are exported, with only about 2% of the sales being local business.
Asia-Pacific is its biggest market at the moment, with South America and Eastern Europe "getting to be important".
"We hope to look at more developed markets which will have demand for higher-value products," Liew says.
The main challenge of its business has not changed over the years, Liew says.
"In a business like ours, the biggest challenge is always in research and development as original equipment manufacturers keep introducing new models of machines and for every machine, there is a different (toner) formulation needed."
Despite the struggles that the company is experiencing, Liew appears adamant to pull the company through.
"We have actually been approached for possible reverse takeover exercises and have also considered taking the company private.
"But what was the objective of our listing? We wanted to build our company to become a bigger entity and that's what we are going to do – the next few years will be our new phase of growth.
"We will get back to our double-digit net profit margin."
Such optimism from the head of a company is welcomed. Naturally, it is hard to predict when exactly its goals will materialise.

Well, you could educate them to log off rather than lock, include it in the IT policy and they'd have to obide by it. You could say that it is required for keeping the productivity of the system up.

There is not a report to do this in SpiceWorks, it does not track this detail.
Have you considered deploying the wallpaper with Group Policy and locking users out from changing it in your GPO to ensure compliance?
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:13 UTC
You can't run a report from SW for that, but you can prevent your users from changing the wallpaper if you are in domain environment through group policy:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop
- Active Desktop Wallpaper - Enabled
- Wallpaper Name - Anything you like (or the real name if this is how you wish to deploy the real wallpaper)
- Wallpaper Style - Anything you like
- Disable Active Desktop - Enabled
And also:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display
- Prevent changing wallpaper - Enabled
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:14 UTC
Yes I have considered it. but looking for a simple way of monitoring it. I don't want the users to know i am monitoring it, if you know what i mean.
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:17 UTC
You could also do this in the login script:
If Not Exist (File you expect to see including path) echo %computername% %Date%>>(pathandtextfileto review)
This will only run at login but they would never notice it and it is simple.
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:28 UTC
Thank you for the input Justin, however the pc's stay up all the time. I keep them up because i use symantec backup exec for desktops that takes an image of there hard drive. isn't there some sort of wmi script that can tell you what wallpaper your using?
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:35 UTC
The machines may stay turned on all the time, but they don't stay logged in all the time, do they?? that would be a major security issue...
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:41 UTC
Unless he just has users lock them...
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:52 UTC
You could easily compile your own autoit script to take some action (send you notification, write to a log, etc) based on the value of the registry key... The one you are looking for is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
OR - You could just make this part of the login script (or batch file that runs on a schedule using the system scheduler) on XP and Vista machines:
reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper >> DRIVE:\PATHTO\LOGFILE.TXT
Jun 30, 2009 at 1:53 UTC
They all are in the habit of locking them. Thanks
Jun 30, 2009 at 2:33 UTC
Well, you could educate them to log off rather than lock, include it in the IT policy and they'd have to obide by it. You could say that it is required for keeping the productivity of the system up.

NBC's Will & Grace - a sitcom about a gay man - happened to be the most nominated comedy at the Emmys. The same Emmys where Vanessa Redgrave won for her portrayal of an ageing lesbian in If These Walls Could Talk 2.
And 22 million viewers didn't bat an eyelid. As Entertainment Weekly noted, 'Nobody cared. And that's because today, gay characters are so common on television, so unexotic, that their sexual orientation has become all but invisible to viewers.' David Kohan, the creator of Will & Grace said, 'That's how far we've come. The question networks used to ask was whether their shows had too many episodes with gay plotlines in them. Today, they ask whether they have too many gay shows.'
It's a mark of the ordinariness of these shows that Will & Grace has been moved to NBC's prime weekly slot, Thursday at 9pm, replacing Frasier. And coming soon from Fox Television, Normal Ohio, a sitcom starring John Goodman as a divorced gay dad. Not to be outdone, CBS is working on two gay-related TV shows.
And it's not just shows, the number of gay characters on TV has increased exponentially, both in numbers and type - US viewers can now see gay killers, gay students, gay TV executives, gay TV doctors, gay teens and even, on South Park, gay cartoon dogs.
This year has been a major one for gays and lesbians,' says Nick Adams, entertainment media manager of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
Adams traces a shift in the business. 'As gay-themed films continue to make money, it gets easier to get more made. Hollywood operates on a profitablity basis, obviously, so the more successful films with gay themes, the better.' But, he adds, all this 'doesn't change the fact that in 39 states, people can still be fired for being gay.'
However, being gay - or at least, playing gay - is no longer unusual on American screens. Just ask the winner of Survivor, Richard Hatch, who walked into America's living rooms every week, let it all hang out, and walked away a millionaire.
Hatch, 39, never hid his homosexuality, and it caused some of the most colourful exchanges with his fellow contestant Rudy Boesch, an older ex-Navy man who disapproved of Hatch's lifestyle but allied himself with him anyway. The two forged an odd-couple partnership that speaks volumes about America's acceptance of gay personalities.
Survivor regularly attracted 15 millions viewers, Will & Grace gets 10 million. As Entertainment Weekly said, 'There you have it - the real reason for the increasing number of gay shows on TV. They're starting to make money.' More importantly, advertisers have identified a key demographic audience - 18-49-year-olds who, with plenty of disposable income, are a highly sought after group.
'It's always a good thing when anything in film or TV gets an enormous approval and gets a mass viewership, because this means it's making money for the network and sponsors,' says Judy Wieder of Advocate, a leading gay magazine. 'And it also means that it's changing attitudes enough that the audience's fear level is going down and they can enjoy various things about gay life.
'But even though progress is being made, I think that - like in every other industry - if you are gay and behind the scenes and have a good track record for making money, you won't have people get in your way and you won't be held back, but if you're an actor or an actress and out there in front, you have to be very careful.'
Though there seem to be an abundance of gay storylines in Hollywood, like everything in the entertainment world, looks can be deceiving. Certainly, gay characters are cropping up with more regularity on TV. And movies that address gay themes are guaranteed a slot on the schedule of any self-respecting independent film company. The last few film seasons alone have produced such critics' darlings as Go Fish, High Art, and The Opposite of Sex.
Coming this autumn is the much-anticipated film Before Night Falls, starring Johnny Depp as the transvestite lover of a gay Cuban poet, and The Broken Hearts Club, an ensemble gay buddies comedy. Yet many feel that Hollywood is still most comfortable with gay characters when they stay 'in their place'.
Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations, which tracks the box office performance of movies, says there are issues that define gay-themed indie films. 'Usually there's a more realistic portrayal of gay in indie films than in bigger Hollywood films - indie films address the issues and lifestyles of gays more directly. In major Hollywood films gay characters are sidekicks, or as in The Birdcage, it's sort of a fantasy vision of gay life, a more packaged version of gay life, with big stars like Robin Williams playing wacky gay characters. That's where indie films are probably truer to the gay experience.
'With someone like Rupert Everett,' Dergarabedian continues, 'when The Next Best Thing didn't do well, it wasn't a bias from audiences against his character (Madonna's pal and father to her child). It just wasn't a good film. But in My Best Friend's Wedding, the studio added more scenes of him, he was a terrific character, and that worked so well for the movie. But remember, you didn't see his lifestyle at home - he was just a pal of Julia Roberts.'
Bill Condon, writer-director of Gods and Monsters, thinks touchy-feely gay films might be on their way out and that the transplanting of Britain's Queer As Folk TV series to the States as a cable show, might offer a glimmer of reality. 'I believe there's about to be less emphasis on sentimentalism, on gay people as role models as it were. Having been demonised, either as silly sidekicks, villains or tragic figures, we've now become these angelised-yet-tiresome figures in films. It will be interesting to see how Queer as Folk translates over here, since in Britain there's a more unblinking, more adventurous, edgy quality to gay-themed projects, dating back to My Beautiful Laundrette. Queer as Folk is in-your-face, but it's really more honest, in ways that are not just about sex.'
In the past Hollywood would shroud its gay references in humour and innuendo, sneaking a wink-wink past the censor board to those audience members who were 'with the programme'. There were actors like William Haines, a star at Metro-Goldwyn Mayer in the 1920s, who was dropped by the studio in 1933 because he refused to hide his homosexuality. The early character actor Franklin Painborne was flighty, fey, funny, and obviously playing gay if you were paying attention, according to Sikov, author of a forthcoming biography of Peter Sellers.
'When it's so close to the surface of the text it's not that hard to decipher,' Sikov notes. 'In Charlie Chaplin's City Lights, there's a whole scene where Charlie has a very peculiar relationship with a drunken millionaire. They sleep in the same bed, Chaplin gives him a little love pat before he goes to sleep - and this is 1931. Clearly the joke is as conscious as it can be without being stated. Today, because the subject is so on people's minds, there's more paranoia - you would never see that kind of anything-goes behaviour.'
In the Fifties and Sixties, Rock Hudson's comedies with Doris Day layered subtext upon subtext, which Sikov feels was intentional. 'In Pillow Talk there's some possibility of Hudson being pregnant - I mean, oh my God! Some people clearly got the joke, and I think every gay person in America knew Hudson was gay for a very long time. Those films all dealt in subtext.'
Groundbreaking Sixties American films such as The Children's Hour and Midnight Cowboy (starring Jon Voight) alluded to their main character's gayness without really saying it. Later, films such as The Boys in the Band, Cruising, and Victor/Victoria placed gay characters in specific easy-to-spot realms (queeny, dangerous, period pieces), or, in the case of Making Love, neutered them and defined their existence through a wife's point of view.
In the Nineties gay-themed films became the province of independent cinema, as Torch Song Trilogy, Longtime Companion, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, The Crying Game, Jeffrey, and Love! Valour! Compassion! created an entire subgenre of gay cinema, and outwardly gay producers (such as Scott Rudin) became some of Hollywood's biggest players, with their sexuality not being an issue.
On TV there were tentative moves with Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City and an adaptation of Randy Shilts's book And the Band Played On. By the end of the decade gay writer-director Kevin Williamson had added a major gay character to his teen-angst drama Dawson's Creek, and Will & Grace put the subject matter at the centre.
Condon thinks there are still limits to how gays are portrayed in different media. 'All of television is based upon people you invite into your living room and feel comfortable with week after week,' he says. 'Movies, I think, are different. Blacks on TV are Cosby, whereas blacks in the movies are Big Momma's House, or something equally outrageous. There's a big difference. With movies, people are paying to see something more rude than on TV. And, for TV, gay people are pithy, entertaining, funny - people you'd want in your home.'
'There is more acceptance on television,' adds Sikov, 'but I've never had a conversation about Will & Grace with a straight person that didn't begin, "Eric McCormack (Will on the show) isn't gay, right?" Well, Anthony Hopkins doesn't really eat people, does he? He's playing a role. Statements like that essentially reveal that people want to watch it and give it credit, but they want to make sure it's not hitting too close to home.'

Microsoft has released ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2 which boasts better stability and less connectivity problems:
Changes in ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2 help resolve issues related to setup, partnerships, and connectivity with the PC and Microsoft Exchange. In addition, it includes a troubleshooter utility that scans your computer and device to identify problems and offers information and corrective actions to solve them.
ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2 supports PC sync via USB cable, Bluetooth, or infrared connection.
I still won't be making the upgrade because Microsoft removed wireless support after ActiveSync 3.8. It is so much nicer being able to wirelessly connect my Pocket PC and my desktop computer rather than having to wire them up together. I mean come on, everything is going wireless these days and if they were having problems with it they should have figured out a solution instead of scrapping the feature all together. HPC Factor still lets you download ActiveSync 3.8 if you decide you want the wireless feature.
In case you were wondering why exactly the wireless was removed here is what they say:
Remote PC Sync (via WiFi or LAN) has been removed due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues.
So why not just provide an Enterprise version of ActiveSync that doesn't have this feature? Sorry, I'm a little bitter over the whole thing if you can't tell. :)

Louisville holds off New Mexico for Sweet 16 berth
PORTLAND, Ore. – Louisville senior Chris Smith called the 15-point lead against New Mexico "fool's gold," but the Cardinals still hit the jackpot.
They advanced to their 18th NCAA tournament Sweet 16 and first since reaching the Elite Eight in 2009, with a 59-56 victory over New Mexico on Saturday night before a Rose Garden crowd of 18,167.
They'll face the winner of Sunday's game between West Regional No. 1 seed Michigan State and No. 9 seed Saint Louis in Phoenix on Thursday. The Spartans beat the Cardinals in 2009 to reach the Final Four.

If the Cardinals (28-9) get a big lead in the next round, they might do a better job of maintaining it, thanks to the Lobos' comeback that cut that 15-point deficit to two.

"We got a little too happy, a little too ahead of ourselves. We thought the game was over, but it wasn't," said Smith, who had two three-pointers in the second half and finished with eight points. "A lead is fool's gold in the NCAA. We want to maintain our composure throughout the whole game. If we can do that, I don't think a lot of teams can beat us because we play such good defense."
Louisville led 44-29 with 13:02 left after it began the second half with an 18-4 run. The Lobos twice came within two in the final two minutes, when Demetrius Walker nailed a three-pointer with 1:39 left and Drew Gordon converted a basket at the 1:16 mark.
Each time the Cardinals had an answer.
Russ Smith, who carried the offense in the first half and finished with a team-high 17 points, sank two free throws after he was fouled breaking free of the Lobos' full-court pressure.
Then with 32 seconds left, Peyton Siva found Gorgui Dieng streaking down the lane for a dunk, giving the Cardinals a four-point cushion and all but dashing the Lobos' hopes for an upset. Siva had problems getting to the rim all night, but did so twice in the final minute to boost the lead to six.
"We just had great spacing; I started to attack and just tried to be aggressive," said Siva, who had six points and five assists. "I really didn't bring it back out. I just tried to keep attacking the big man, keep attacking the big man, and it worked."
Louisville couldn't do much with New Mexico forward Gordon. The UCLA transfer had game highs of 21 points and 14 rebounds. His three-pointer with 2.9 seconds left kept faint hopes of completing the comeback alive.
And when Elisha Justice missed the front end of a one-and-one seconds after checking into the game for the first time, Gordon snatched the rebound with one last shot at a miracle. But his court-length Hail Mary from under the basket was well short, and the Cardinals celebrated moving on to Phoenix.
"It feels great right now," said Kyle Kuric, who had 10 points. "I wish I was a little more excited instead of just kind of being fatigued and tired and worn out from the comeback they had. But it's a great feeling."
It wasn't so great for Kuric when he was on the wrong side of a Gordon dunk.
If there was any question that Gordon was back after an injury scare in the first half, he erased it when he soared for a lob pass just over Kuric's outstretched hands and dunked it backward.
For a minute late in the first half, it looked as if Gordon was finished for the night, if not longer. A.J. Hardeman tumbled into his left leg, and he went down clutching the knee, laying on his back for several minutes as the arena went silent. But after gingerly walking to the locker room, he re-entered the game after missing only two minutes.
Led by Gordon's efforts, the Lobos outrebounded Louisville 36-25, including 17 offensive rebounds.
"Drew, he's a big dude, and trying to box him out, we did the best we could of keeping him off the glass," Louisville freshman Chane Behanan said.
The Cardinals also held the Lobos to 5-of-23 shooting from three-point range, where they were shooting 38% for the season. Now Louisville rides its six-game postseason winning streak into the Sweet 16.
"I've never been to Phoenix, but soon as I get there I'm getting in a pool," Chris Smith said. "I've had enough of Portland. It was great to be here, great to win games here, but it's time to go."

Based on a 55,000 sq ft (5,000 sq m floor space), 3 story building, with a window to wall ratio of 20% on all exposures.Examples: small office, school, or retail.
Based on a 160,000 sq ft (15,000 sq m floor space), 5 story building, with a window to wall ratio of 50% on all exposures.Examples: office building, hotel
Please contact your Vista representative for information regarding energy saving window film with triple pane and other glass types not shown.
If you do not see a city located near you in the drop down menu, please submit a request for a complimentary energy analysis for your area.
The lower the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), the less solar heat is transmitted. The SHGC, or g-value in some countries, is the fraction of incident solar radiation that passes through a window. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
What does CO2 reduction mean?A reduction in CO2 would be equivalent to removing 32-watt fluorescent lamps which also equates to removing of all lamps in a typical building.
CO2 Reduction Explained:A reduction in lb of CO2 would be equivalent to removing 60-watt light bulbs.
The Energy Savings Calculator uses the U.S. Department of Energy's DOE-2 energy simulation program, along with average energy costs for your area, to calculate expected savings. Actual savings are dependent upon many factors including actual local energy costs, glass type, film type, shading of glass from overhangs and adjacent buildings. Consult with an EnerLogic film dealer for a detailed and more accurate assessment.
UV Reduction Explained:A reduction of 99.9% of damaging ultraviolet rays helps protect home furnishings, carpet and wood surfaces from premature fading.
Using a 60 watt light bulb for one hour consumes 0.06 kilowatt hours of electricity. Using a 60 watt light bulb for one thousand hours consumes 60 kilowatt hours of electricity.
Energy and cost savings results shown are based on a typical existing two-story home, with a window to wall ratio of 20% on all exposures, 2 foot (60 cm) exterior overhangs shading all windows, with film installed on all elevations.
Vista™ Window Film is a low-cost, high-return energy conservation measure made of micro-thin layers of film combined with high performance coatings that bond to the glass surface.
Adding Vista Window Film upgrades your existing windows by improving energy efficiency, cutting glare, and reducing damage to furniture due to fading. It also helps make occupants feel more comfortable within the building.
Most windows can be filmed in 15 minutes with minimal or no disruption to building occupants.
Vista Window Film is around $5-10 per square foot installed, which is only 5-10% of the cost of window replacement depending on the application.
The energy savings depend on many factors, such as the existing type of glass, existence of overhangs, your location (climate), and energy rates in your area. However, for most buildings, high-performance window films can reduce energy costs from 5 to 15%. Use our Energy Savings Calculator to the left to estimate your savings.
Though they provide similar energy savings, window films are much cheaper to install than replacement window - about 5-10% of the cost. Therefore, the capital investment is much lower for window film. Many projects produce a simple payback in less than three years (when including utility company rebates) - equivalent to a 33% return on investment! Use our Energy Savings Calculator to the left to estimate how much you could save.
The installation of window films is very safe. We provide our installers with a list of recommended applications and are confident that the applications are safe when the recommendations are followed. Plus, we provide warranties against glass breakage and seal failure. (Some restrictions and limitations apply. Please see an authorized Vista Window Film dealer for details.)
In many cases, there is so much solar heat gain before window films are installed that shades or blinds must be kept closed. By applying energy-saving window film, blinds and shades can remain open, allowing more light into the building than before film installation. Plus, window films come in a variety of light transmissions, from very dark (0% light transmission) to very light (80% light transmission).
Films with high Luminous Efficacies, also known as Spectrally-Selective Films, can be the best film in many applications. However, the solar heat rejection of these products is typically less than the highest performance films, so they offer less savings on air-conditioning costs. In addition, films higher in light transmission offer less in the way of glare reduction.
In addition to complying with all applicable air and water safety standards for our manufacturing operations, over the past ten years Solutia's Performance Films division has implemented a number of energy-saving measures. These have enabled Solutia to reduce the energy required per unit of production by nearly 40% during this period.
Many utilities offer specific rebates for window film installation for both residential and commercial applications. Often window film is specifically listed as one of the rebate-eligible products. Other times window film qualifies under the "Custom Measures" option (commercial applications only). For details in your state, by utility company, click here.
According to U.S. Department of Energy statistics, solar heat gain through windows is responsible for about one third of a building's cooling costs. Energy-saving window film that can reduce solar heat gain by 75% or more can significantly reduce the run time of air-conditioning systems or allow them to operate at lower load conditions. This can reduce cooling costs in commercial buildings by as much as 30%, lengthen HVAC equipment life, lower maintenance costs for air-conditioning systems, and allow for replacement of cooling equipment with smaller, less expensive equipment.
Most films carry a 10 or 15-year warranty for non-residential installations. Warranties include total film replacement, including labor and materials. Many of our films are on the job, still providing energy savings and improved comfort, 20 years after installation. (Some restrictions and limitations apply. Please see an authorized Vista Window Film dealer for details.)
In fact, window films can assist with as many as 9 LEED Certification points (out of the 32 required for Silver LEED Certification). For more information about Vista Window Films and LEED Certification, see www.usgbc.org/leed. The energy savings provided by Vista films can also assist buildings with their Energy Star Labeling requirements.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at GameStop.
It was a simple interview process. I went into the back room and they asked some general questions. Game knowledge was not an essential. Mainly customer service and a positive attitude to work as a team
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. I interviewed at GameStop.
Standard interview process overall. In the holiday season, interviews are done in group format as a better use of time. Some questions were asked to individuals only, other questions were asked to each person in the interview.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. I interviewed at GameStop.
Very standard, entry-level interview. It was informal, done in the assistant manager's office. He was really friendly and offered me the seasonal job on the spot. You don't have to do anything to prepare, just act professional.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GameStop (Hainesport, NJ).
I was brought into the backroom and asked various questions and generally chatted for a bit. Then I got a call back a few days later that I got the job.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. I interviewed at GameStop (New York, NY).
They take your into the (often messy) back room to ask questions about your retail experience and gaming knowledge. They ask the same questions of a sheet of paper every time.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GameStop in September 2016.
The interview was not drawn out. It was pretty quick & to the point, which I prefer! It began as a group interview with me & 2 other guys then we each talked with the interviewer 1:1. I was offered the job on site & accepted!
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at GameStop (New York, NY) in September 2016.
Pretty laid back interview. To me, it seemed like they just wanted to make sure that you were just trying to see if you're a normal person and possibly if you actually like video games, though the latter might just be a plus. I arrived and they just asked me a few work history related questions and before I knew it I was hired. The interview seemed like more of a formality in my case.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GameStop.
Very comfortable setting, they made me feel like I was always apart of the team my nerves went away quickly the interviewer was very upfront about what he was looking for and what he needed from any one trying to be apart of the team
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at GameStop (Escondido, CA) in August 2016.
It was fun and easy. The manager interviewing me was down to earth and made me feel comfortable right off the bat! Walked into the room and sat down. She started asking me questions and asking about me. Interview was short but fun.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GameStop (Orange, CA) in August 2016.
Apply in person, you get a call for a individual interview, you get interviewed by two people. I feel like they choose who ever they want not necessarily if you have experience. I might add my availability was open.
Interview Questions
Would you like us to review something? Please describe the problem with this {0} and we will look into it.
Your feedback has been sent to the team and we'll look into it.
This will replace the current featured interview for this targeted profile. Are you sure you want to replace it?

Parallels between Drug Addiction and Issues of Mental Health
Mental health is defined as possessing ways of thinking about and perceiving the world that are truthful, conducive to your resilience, and can assist you in leading a productive, happy, and healthful life. Any faulty way of thinking that disrupts your ability to feel in control of your own life, or perceive the world accurately and full of hope is considered an issue for which you can get mental health treatment.
Common mental health issues include depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and grief.
Addiction is defined as a compulsive desire to engage in harmful behavior, to the point that you feel powerless to stop or control your actions. Your ability to perceive the world accurately is clouded in a haze of alternately being under the influence of a substance, and then developing an intense craving that can only be satisfied by more use.
Because these addictive behaviors and cravings disrupt your control of your own life, and radically hinder your ability to function, addiction can properly be seen as a mental health disorder. Helping to see things in this way can be a very helpful way to think about your recovery treatment.
Addiction as a disruption of a healthy mental state
At a fundamental level, addiction changes the brain in fundamental ways. A healthy functioning brain operates according to a normal hierarchy of needs and desires. All human beings have a need for water, food, and shelter, for good health, but also for companionship, a sense our days are engaged in purposeful and meaningful work, and secure social networks.
A healthy life can be understood as one lived according to meeting these desires. Addition radically disrupts this natural functioning, because it replaces these multifaceted needs with a singular focus on meeting a craving.
An addicted person will engage in behavior that is both socially disruptive and dangerous or harmful, all for the sake of getting his or her next fix, because the haze of addiction creates a situation where nothing else seems to matter. Addicts behave compulsively, and seem to have no ability to control their impulses despite consequences. In this way, it is very much like other mental illnesses.
Addiction as a mental health disorder
The American Psychiatric Association publishes a book called the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or the DSM. Currently in its 5th edition, the DSM is a definitive list of all mental health issues, and represents a consensus view of professional mental health workers' views on mental health issues and treatment.
The DSM-5 classifies drug addiction as a mental disorder, which it called "Substance use disorder," which it places on a continuum from mild to severe. This disorder is characterized by addictive patterns, of seeking out and using a substance at the expense of other responsibilities or concern for your own well-being.
It also is a cyclical pattern, as you develop dependence and tolerance for a drug, you will need to increase your dosage to feel the same effects, thus sinking further into a dangerous addictive pattern.
What treatment for mental health issues can mean for recovery
It may be very easy for a judgmental outsider to view addiction as a simple failure of will power. Frequently, people look down on people they call "junkies" and assume they chose to become addicted to drugs.
Understanding the mental health issues behind addiction can increase your compassion and sense of grace for yourself and others, and recognize that when addiction takes over a person, their true self gets lost. But that is also a hopeful sign that recovery is possible.
Mental health issues can be treated with a variety of methods aimed at correcting your brain activity and thought patterns, and behaviors. So understanding the complexity of addiction as a mental health issue should be taken as a sign that recovery is possible.

Adventure briefs for April 12
April 12, 2013
Turkey season
The spring turkey season, expected to attract an estimated 12,000 hunters, opens Saturday.
Last year, the state issued 15,000 licenses for the spring season, and hunters bagged 3,300.
The 44-day spring season features two state subspecies of wild turkeys — the Merriams and the Rio Grande. Hunters can take two bearded turkeys, one with a limited license and the other with an over-the-counter license.
Bird festival
The town of Karval, a tiny place east of Colorado Springs, will host its annual Mountain Plover Festival from April 26-28.
The eastern plains of Colorado are the primary breeding grounds for the rare mountain plover, along with areas on the Pawnee National Grassland. More than half of the world's population nests in the state.
Mountain plovers are birds that are about 8 inches in height, have long legs and are sandy-brown. A bus takes participants to sites on the prairie to points near the plovers' nesting sites.
For more information, go to http://www.karval.org.
Trout limits
Denver Water and the state will close Antero Reservoir on May 1 to drain it to save water during the drought, so bag limits have been raised and size restrictions lifted.
Antero Reservoir has the highest evaporation rate of any of Denver Water's reservoirs. Draining and storing the water in Cheesman and Eleven Mile reservoirs will reduce system evaporation losses by about 4,000 acre-feet.
Possession limits on trout at Antero will be increased from two to eight fish with no minimum size restriction. All other fishing regulations apply.
Immediately after the ice has melted off the reservoir, the state will trap and relocate spawning trout. The state will install screens below the reservoir to capture fish as they leave the reservoir.
Antero Reservoir is open for recreational use from a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. No camping will be permitted. After the ice has melted, only hand-launched vessels will be allowed. Recreation will cease May 1.
