The trade reported tonight that Warner Bros called off a February production start on Shantaram, the Mira Nair-directed adaptation of the Gregory David Roberts novel that was to star Johnny Depp. Eric Roth had been doing the rewrite. The Weinstein Co, meanwhile, postponed Nine, the Rob Marshall-directed musical that was slated to start production in March with Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Sophia Loren and Marion Cotillard starring. In both cases, the scripts weren't ready. After Michael Tolkin wrote the screenplay for Nine, TWC engaged Anthony Minghella to do a polish, "but he was able to put in only three days of work before the writers guild went out," Variety reported. Catherine Zeta-Jones dropped out of the movie.
Variety: WGA Strike Claims 2 More Films
10 Comments
Is this accurate?
1) I.A.T.S.E., IBT Local 399, Studio Utility Employees Local 724, IBEW Local 40, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 78, and the Plasterers & Cement Masons Local 755… ALL RECEIVE RESIDUALS.
2) These residual payments go directly into their PENSION AND HEALTH FUND.
3) RESIDUALS earned working on shows CONSTITUTE 55% OF THEIR P & H.
4) If there are funding surpluses from residuals, retirees receive a 13th and a 14th check in that year, instead of the normal twelve.
The bargaining parties agree that if any other Union or Guild negotiates as part of its collective bargaining agreement with the AMPTP residuals on product for iPods or similar devices, the Producers will meet with the IATSE to negotiate an appropriate residual formula.
I thought stockpiling assured seamless feature production for months! Not Oscar bait and tentpoles being derailed and delayed!!
Sweet Gavin Polone, oh clement, oh loving, explain this all away!
Iatse mem – yup. That's why the writers have been saying that they are doing this for everyone. The WGA's contract just came up first, so they are taking the beating. Whatever happens in this negotiation will set the pace for the rest of the guilds when their turn comes up.
Good. Every film that gets taken down is another bit of leverage. And I second Norm- hey, Gavin, how long do you think you can keep your attitude up?
I guess the big difference would be that those "residuals" would be spread out over 50000 instead of one. That they are paid into a fund most of us will never realize because we need 60000 hours to retire. Then we get peanuts when we do. So don't try to make it a "we're doing it for you guys" issue. Unless of course you are willing to change your residual structure to only go to your P&H for your entire guild. Wait we still have 4x the members.
I LOVE the phrase "the script wasn't ready"!!! In whose eyes? Is "script readiness" the same as when a cake is done? Methinks not. Unfortunately, most scripts are way overcooked by the time they go into production, having long passed the "ready" mark on the thermometer.
you've got it backwards, Iatse. IATSE residuals go into the P&H fund rather than directly to you because that's what your union negotiated for you.
As you say, there are far more IATSE members than WGA. And there are far more IATSE workers on a film set than WGA workers.
So think it through – if IATSE residuals went to the invididuals in the same way that WGA residuals do, that would mean hundreds more checks to cut per project, and a much higher bookkeeping workload to keep track of it all.
And again as you say, the residuals wouldn't be nearly as much if spread that thin anyway. So I don't find it surprising that IATSE would have negotiated a pooled residual P&H plan instead.
It's also up to your union to determine who qualifies for those P&H benefits.
So if you're dissatisfied with the arrangement, then your beef is with IATSE, not WGA.
Meanwhile, if the WGA wins this battle, then IATSE and all the other unions will have a precedent to demand a similar raise when their contracts are up for renewal.
So yes, I do believe what the WGA is doing is for all our benefit. Even yours.
Wow, iatse, relax. Sorry you're unhappy with the current IATSE contract, but is another union really the best target for your anger and frustration?
No one's making it a "we're doing it for you guys" issue, but the fact is, if the WGA is able to achiever its goals it will benefit all of the other unions, including yours. A strike can accomplish more than one thing for one union.
I see a lot of hostility on this board from IATSE members. Where is the union solidarity? I understand people are afraid of losing their jobs, I really do, but as a union member you ought to understand better than anyone who is responsible for this strike – greedy corporations. And there's nothing they love more than to see the unions sniping at each other.
The Big Media companies, under the banner of the AMPTP, are standing in unison against unions in general, and the WGA specifically. It'd be nice if the unions could unite, at least in principle, to stand up to this unified front of greed. I realize most of other union members are, and I give many, many heartfelt thanks to all of the IATSE, SAG, DGA, and Teamster members who are standing united with the WGA!
Live better, work union!
Funny that the script for the Johnny Depp movie "wasn't ready" yet a cast and crew had been hired based on said script.
Kind of reminds me of those script wanted ads where the producer has a cast and crew and financing but no script.
IATSE Guy,
As a member of Teamsters Local 399 Locations, I share the same Basic Crafts agreement Benefit Package with you. I'd say 55% of our funding is VERY IMPORTANT to all of us. I may never see much or even any retirement either; but what about the excellent HEALTH plan most Americans do not have, yet WE DO; and for our families as well?
I went to the rally yesterday and encouraged as many Location Managers as I could reach to go. IATSE really needs to join us all on the picket lines if they continue through the negotitations. We all need the let the AMPTP know that treating any of us badly is now going to affect how ALL of us treat them.
The reason your contract has been loosing ground and mine has never gotten on solid ground is that the unions have NOT supported each other in this town properly for decades. We can no longer go it alone and expect to maintain a decent standard of living in this industry.
You can put your support behind the CORPORATE GREEDY or you can put your support behind the folks we all work with and ourselves.
Whether you do something, like walk a picket line or nothing like don't take a side: you are taking one. Silence is not golden here and the old divide and conquer plan of the AMPTP has worked too well.
Let's create a NEW Plan: UNITED WE STAND.
399 Locations Lady walking the line with the WGA for all of us!

CHICAGO (AP) Can drinking green tea really protect against two big killers, strokes and cancer? A huge study in Japan suggests yes and no: It might lower your stroke risk but won't save you from cancer.
The study's authors say their findings might explain why the Japanese are less likely than Americans to die of heart disease and stroke. Even so, the answers aren't clear. Green tea has been researched a lot, and many of the studies have come up with conflicting results.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said an analysis found no credible scientific evidence to support manufacturers' claims that green tea can cut cardiovascular disease risks.
The National Cancer Institute says human studies on tea and cancer prevention have had contradictory results. But there's still hope and the institute is funding rigorous studies testing whether tea extract can help prevent several kinds of cancer.
Tea contains substances called anti-oxidants that can help keep cells healthy. Green tea has more of them than black tea, and studies in animals have shown that tea anti-oxidants called catechins seem to shrink cancerous tumors. Some studies in humans have suggested tea can also help keep arteries and cholesterol healthy.
The current study was funded by the Japanese government and is published in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Shinichi Kuriyama of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan is the lead author.
It's different from many previous studies because it involved so many people — 40,530 Japanese adults. Those who drank lots of green tea were less likely than those who drank only a little tea to die from cardiovascular disease and other causes, but not cancer.
Because tea-drinking is popular among Japanese people from all lifestyles and economic groups, the research seems to refute a criticism of previous studies — that people who drink green tea are higher income and more health-conscious and thus apt to be healthier anyway.
However, heavy tea drinkers in the study also tended to eat more fruits and vegetables, and such a diet also might reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer risks, said John Folts, a professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin.
Study participants were generally less overweight than Americans, and it's unknown if similar results would be found in a more diverse group of people, said Alice Lichtenstein, a Tufts University nutrition professor and spokeswoman for the American Heart Association.
The results from this study, which observed people and their habits over several years, "point you in a direction" but aren't conclusive, she said.
The Japanese volunteers filled out questionnaires on tea-drinking and other habits including diet, alcohol and tobacco use, weight, job and education status, and physical activity.
During seven years of follow-up, 1,134 participants died of cancer and 892 died from cardiovascular disease.
Women who drank five or more cups of green tea daily had a 31% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than women who drank less than one cup daily; in men, the comparable reduced risk was 22%.
Cardiovascular disease includes heart disease and stroke. While heavy tea drinkers had less heart disease than those who drank little tea, the results suggest the difference for heart disease alone might have been due to chance.
Green tea appeared to work best against clot-related strokes. Among the five-cup-a-day group, women had a 62% lower risk of dying from these strokes than women who drank little tea, and for men the reduced risk was 42%.
The researchers said more men were smokers, and that might have explained the gender differences since smoking affects cardiovascular disease risks.
There were no significant differences in cancer death rates among heavy and light tea drinkers of either sex.
While the study isn't the last word on whether tea-drinking is good for you, tea is generally harmless and has no calories, so if you like the taste, most researchers would probably say go ahead and drink it.
"The point is, if you're drinking green tea, that's fine. It's premature to recommend that somebody start drinking" it to protect their health, Lichtenstein said.

Features of this Recycler
Bent Neck
There are many advantages to a bent neck design. Some people prefer it because of the aesthetics, but the bent neck serves an important function in some pieces. Because of the angle, it prevents splash-back into your mouth.
These pipes "recycle" the smoke in a second chamber and bring it in a loop through the filter again and again. This action allows for a cooler smoke and a more flavorful hit.
Thick Glass
We consider this piece to have thick glass, which helps with the durability of certain glass items. Thick glass means your piece is less likely to break as a result of damage. While many of our pieces have thick glass, we felt the need to point it out specifically here.
JM Flow Sci Glass
Rated 4.67 out of 5 stars from 67 reviews.
Based out of Riverside, California, JM Flow is an impressive vendor of scientific glass. A popular brand among concentrate connoisseurs, JM Flow is especially known for their immaculate recyclers. Their unique percs, the cross perc and sprinkler perc, provide some of the best filtration found on the market today. JM Flow's consistently high quality and high functionality have made the brand a staple in the modern glass industry. Smoke Cartel is a huge advocate for JM Flow's functional glassware, and we always look forward to seeing what they're concocting next.

Investors watched closely yesterday as the Prudential Insurance Company of America took another step toward becoming a publicly traded company.
In midafternoon, the company delivered a 146-page restructuring plan to New Jersey regulators -- a move that comes as the industry is being transformed by a wave of mergers in which only the largest companies or those with well-defined specialties are expected to prosper.
Prudential's conversion from a mutual company, a kind of cooperative owned by policyholders, is being driven mainly by a conviction that it can stay at the head of the pack only if it has a new currency -- stock -- to use in acquiring rivals. And its entry as another acquisitive giant, analysts say, is forcing competitors, both at home and abroad, to step up efforts to gain control of choice American insurers.
''It's like a game of musical chairs,'' said Andrew Kligerman, an analyst at Bear, Stearns. ''There aren't that many chairs. And if you don't get one, you're going to be left behind.''
At the heart of the consolidation is a quest for economies of scale and commanding market share.
Prudential P.L.C., Britain's No. 2 insurer, added to the anxiety this week by agreeing to pay $26.5 billion for American General of Houston.Continue reading the main story
While investors quickly signaled concerns that Prudential had overpaid -- at three times book value -- the deal would still make the British company the American leader in variable annuities, a combination of insurance and mutual funds whose sales were soaring until recently.
The British Prudential, not related to the American company, would also become the fifth-largest seller of life insurance in the United States and move to the top tier of global insurers.
The acquisition embodied a growing fear among American insurers. Because of higher market valuations in Europe and lower expectations of return on investment, foreign giants like AXA of France, Allianz of Germany and Generali of Italy are willing to pay higher prices and accept less stellar performances than American insurers consider prudent.
So, as in the deal for American General, the bidding is expected to be high for potential targets like John Hancock, which went public last spring but loses its takeover protection early next year, as well as Lincoln National, Jefferson-Pilot, Hartford Financial and Protective Life. Most are strong players in variable annuities, which has been the fastest-growing life insurance product.
Their share prices are depressed because the decline in the markets has hurt variable annuity sales as well as the fees insurers collect for managing variable annuity accounts.
''Given the likelihood of consolidation, we think these stocks are extremely attractive,'' Mr. Kligerman said. ''They may be hitting a speed bump now, but over the next year they clearly should be moneymakers.''
Three companies -- Lincoln National, the Hartford and Protective -- have said that they prefer to remain independent, Mr. Kligerman said, adding that ''things change.''
Colin Devine, an analyst at Salomon Smith Barney, said a blockbuster deal would involve a big company like American International or General Electric, which has a big insurance operation, or one of the European behemoths buying John Hancock and Lincoln National, two of the strongest targets.
''If somebody wanted to paralyze the competition,'' Mr. Devine said, ''that would be the deal to do. I think you could get both of them for what Prudential U.K. paid for American General.''
A year ago ING, the Dutch insurer, which has been operating quietly in the United States for years, jump-started its business by buying ReliaStar and parts of Aetna, which, together, were only slightly smaller than John Hancock and Lincoln National combined.
Under pressure to grow, even as it has been struggling with one of the biggest changes in its 126-year history, Prudential has started new ventures in several countries and is completing the takeover of the Kyoei Mutual Life Insurance Company in Japan.
If the recent experience of MetLife is any guide, Prudential is unlikely to try to take over any big American rivals soon after it goes public, probably toward the end of the year. As sales ebb and flow, MetLife, a former mutual itself, has been swapping the title of largest American life insurer with Prudential. And, as with MetLife, Prudential's conversion plan protects it from immediately becoming a takeover target.
''But for others,'' Mr. Kligerman said, ''the time to move is now. It doesn't make sense to wait for these guys to catch up.''
Shares in the American Prudential, which is based in Newark, are expected to be scooped up because John Hancock and MetLife have done so well. Their share prices have more than doubled since they went public a little less than a year ago.
More than those of the other recently converted companies, the plan that Prudential handed to New Jersey regulators was intended to appeal to investors. One difference is that it makes its biggest unit, the Prudential Insurance Company of America, a subsidiary of a new parent holding company, Prudential Financial Inc. That separates other subsidiaries like Prudential Securities from the insurer and gives them more freedom to invest and grow than would be permitted under insurance regulations.
Prudential's stock offer will be one of the biggest in history. As the owners of the mutual company, Prudential's 11 million policyholders will share roughly $20 billion in equity or accumulated profits, an average of $1,818 per policyholder. They will receive stock, cash or enhancements to their coverage. The money will be distributed on the basis of each policyholders' contribution to profits.Continue reading the main story

R.J. Reynolds Supports Education
Cigarette maker pledges $1 million to technology initiative.
A $1 million pledge from the R.J. Reynolds Foundation to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools' K-12 technology initiative will help bring the school of the future closer to reality.
"R.J. Reynolds Tobacco has a century-long history of supporting local education," said Andrew Schindler, chairman and CEO of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., in announcing the five-year grant. "Continuing that tradition is important to us. This technology upgrade program will benefit the whole community for years to come -- students and their parents, teachers, local employers and economic development initiatives."
The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County "Blueprint for Technology" initiative will put 11,000 new computers in classrooms, in addition to fiber-optic connections and infrastructure, and provide curriculum software and extensive teacher training.
The $38.25 million project, the first of its kind in the country, was developed in 1998 following a study commissioned by the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce. The plan is a blueprint to make the Winston- Salem/Forsyth County school system a national leader in using technology in grades K-12 by 2003, Schindler said.
"The quality of the educational resources in a community is of great importance to companies looking to relocate or establish their businesses in our area," Schindler said. "As we work to recruit new technology-based businesses to the Triad, one of the first things they evaluate is whether the local workforce is well-educated and well-trained. With this technology initiative, we will be able to demonstrate that our students are very marketable and technologically savvy."

The RBI, however, has been expressing reservations on setting up a sovereign wealth fund. The central bank wants the government to set up a sovereign wealth fund from the budget and not out of forex reserves
New Delhi: Supporting the industry ministry's proposal to set up a sovereign wealth fund to finance infrastructure projects, chief economic adviser Kaushik Basu on Monday said India can use a part of its large foreign exchange reserves to create the fund, reports PTI.
"If a small part of our forex reserves is used to set up a sovereign wealth fund and deployed strategically, this can yield steady long-run returns and at the same time enhance India's policy role in the world," Mr Basu told PTI.
Sovereign wealth funds have existed for a long time, though they got this name only six or seven years ago.
Recently, the industry ministry in a discussion paper suggested that India should consider setting up a sovereign wealth fund to finance infrastructure which would require an investment of $1 trillion in the next five years.
The paper recommends that government should use a part of its foreign exchange reserves to set up the sovereign wealth fund as has been done by countries like China, Korea and Singapore.
Mr Basu said sovereign wealth funds could be set up under the control of either the government or the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
"A sovereign wealth fund does not necessarily mean money moved from the RBI to the government," he said.
Mr Basu said, "The returns from the first $15 or $20 billion set aside for this can be enormous."
India has one of the biggest foreign currency reserves in the world at $320 billion. It is, however, far less than $3.2 trillion held by China and $1 trillion by Japan.
The RBI, however, has been expressing reservations on setting up a sovereign wealth fund. The central bank wants the government to set up a sovereign wealth fund from the budget and not out of forex reserves.
Citing example of Singapore, Mr Basu said, "There are countries with relatively small foreign exchange holdings that have operated very successful sovereign wealth funds."
"Conditions for Indian manufacturing have perhaps worsened, given the RBI's prolonged tight monetary policy and the lack of liquidity in the banking sector," Barclays Capital Research said in its 'Emerging Markets Research'
New Delhi: Blaming supply constraints for rising cost of manufactured items, Barclays Capital on Monday said the Reserve Bank of India's prolonged tight monetary policy has only aggravated the problem for the manufacturing sector, reports PTI.
"Conditions for Indian manufacturing have perhaps worsened, given the RBI's prolonged tight monetary policy and the lack of liquidity in the banking sector.
In a way, Indian policy makers seem to be fighting structural inflation, mostly with cyclical tools such as hiking interest rates," Barclays Capital Research said in its 'Emerging Markets Research'.
It further said: "Supply constraints keep manufacturing prices elevated. Most of the manufacturing sector while enjoying the benefits of steady and rising demand, often faces disproportionate problems in scaling up supply due to persistent infrastructure bottlenecks."
Manufactured items, which have a share of over 65% in Wholesale Price Index (WPI), have reported inflation of over 6% since February this year and has been one of the major contributors of the current high inflationary pressures.
Core inflation stood at 7.69% in September this year.
The RBI had earlier warned that prices of manufactured items are likely to remain high on account of volatile global commodity prices.
The central bank has hiked its key policy rates 13 times, totalling 350 basis points since March 2010, to curb inflation.
Corporate India has blamed the repeated rate hikes, which have increased the cost of borrowing, for hindering fresh investments and resultant slowdown in industrial growth.
Economic growth in April-June stood at 7.7%, the lowest in six quarters. Growth in industrial production also fell to a mere 4.1% in August.
Barclays said that legal and procedural impediments often present additional burdens as in the case of recent incidences of disputes over land acquisition in various parts of the country, and contribute to a widening in the demand-supply gap in the manufacturing sector.
"As a result, we think manufacturing inflation should be seen as a structural problem, rather than a cyclical issue.
"Indeed, over the past four years, inflation has often been labelled as structural, but on the fiscal front, which could help alleviate capacity constraints, little success has been achieved," Barclays said.
Pointing to the RBI's policy of monetary tightening as means of combating inflationary pressure, the report said that the central bank's measures had in fact contributed to the problem of demand-supply mismatch.
"However, the RBI has typically focused on managing the near-term inflation even when it explicitly flags capacity constraints as a key reason for rising manufacturing inflation," it said.
According to Barclays, the changing nature of India's industrial sector means that the cycle of commodity prices generates inflationary pressures more quickly nowadays than in earlier times.
"The country is deficient in all fertiliser minerals. Hence, concentrated efforts should be made by making consortium of public and private companies to acquire assets abroad," says a report of the Working Group on 'Mineral Exploration and Development (other than coal and lignite) for 12th Plan'
New Delhi: A government panel has called for a public-private partnership for acquiring fertiliser mineral assets abroad during the 12th Five Year Plan period (2012-17), reports PTI.
A 42-member panel, headed by the secretary of the mines ministry, has also emphasised on the creation of a sovereign wealth fund of Rs1,000 crore for acquisition of overseas mineral assets including fertiliser components.
"The country is deficient in all fertiliser minerals.
Hence, concentrated efforts should be made by making consortium of public and private companies to acquire assets abroad," says a report of the Working Group on 'Mineral Exploration and Development (other than coal and lignite) for 12th Plan'.
India, which is dependent on imports for key fertiliser raw materials, should specifically focus on acquiring assets in countries like Uzbekistan and Jordan, it said.
The working group has also stressed on strengthening relationship with mineral-rich countries and provinces with specific agreements, the panel said.
The government should also play a facilitating role by providing diplomatic support to private players in acquiring mineral assets abroad, it added.
"As the major developed and developing countries are trying to acquire overseas mines by way of purchasing assets abroad or diplomatic support, the Indian government needs to play a facilitative role to help by involving diplomatic support," the panel advised.
It also said the concerned ministries—mines, fertilisers, atomic energy, commerce and external affairs—should focus on this issue on an urgent basis.
India has been planning to set up its own fund in order to acquire strategic overseas assets in mining and energy segments to meet its future needs.
Recently, the Planning Commission also suggested setting up a sovereign wealth fund with an initial corpus of $10 billion, mainly to invest in energy and mining assets abroad.
The sovereign wealth fund is a government-owned corpus where money is pooled in from state resources to invest in overseas assets.

I am a network administrator and for funding and security purposes we need to do an inventory. However I do not want to inventory the entire network at one time as there are some 4000 computers on the network. Specific areas are identified by prefixes. For example all of the computers in one set of buildings may be named RONCXXX-X with the first 3 Xs being the room number and the final X being the PC number within that room.
My question is this. Can I configure Spiceworks to only inventory for a building or area? In other words can I adjust the inventory settings to only target the PCs with the RONC prefix and ignore all others?
My ultimate goal is to create a database based on building area and eventually inventory specifically within rooms.
This topic was created during version 5.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

I'm not sure about using a hostname prefix, but you could use the CSV import function for one instance of Spicework and import a certain group that way. You could then configure another instance of Spiceworks to import a second group. Or perhaps you could scan only a certain IP range (I do that for my test box running the beta) - there are quite a few options.
Apr 6, 2011 at 2:16 UTC
I had considered the IP option but the issue with that is that we have 13 servers throughout the network that issue IPs. If one server gets overloaded it shifts IP responsibility to another server on the domain. The end result is that a PC in a particular building may actually be getting an IP from a server that is 20 miles away even though the other PCs in the room are drawing their IP from the local server.
That is why I was hoping to focus the scan based on names as that is the only way to identify what building or set of buildings a particular PC is in/assigned to.
Apr 6, 2011 at 2:26 UTC
Tigra Networks is an IT service provider.
Could you perhaps make use of the 'remote sites' feature? You;d set up a spiceworks installation at each site, then connect them all back to a master installation. Each site would then have its own scanning rules and you could configure different schedules, etc.
What is your worry? If it is performance, then just set up several different IP ranges and have them scan at different times. Or set the scanning priority to 'low'.
Apr 6, 2011 at 2:27 UTC
Unfortunately scan ranges are based on IP addresses. Perhaps you could run one specific IP range a night then turn on healthcheck for a day or so after then get you list from that. By default it should group everything together in the windows by name so if all the PCS have the same prefix for a building they will all be together.
Apr 6, 2011 at 2:48 UTC
Tim Long, it isn't really a concern so much as a target result. I want to be able to inventory based on location so that I can accomplish multiple goals. Within the next few months I am going to begin replacing older PCs and by having a "per building" datatbase I can decide which buildings need how many computers replaced, what areas or buildings need the most attention and what funding I need to set aside to accomplish the switch.
Also the prior administrator did not document serial numbers, MAC addresses, etc. as new computers came in. I need to develop an asset database to evaluate what has been spent where. Also, individual building office staff often spends their department money to buy new PCs and these do not get documented properly. These were simply imaged, named and added to the network with no documentation at the network level. So in most cases there are computers on the network that are not documented via hardcopy at a central location.
Alex, I did not realize that it would group by name. If it does that then I will be set as that is my ultimate goal. If it does that then I think I should be able to do a system-wide scan and then disaggregate the data after the database has been completed. Thanks!
Apr 6, 2011 at 2:57 UTC
You do have a Location field; perhaps use that to sort?
Apr 6, 2011 at 3:02 UTC
Well it goes alphabetically, so if all PCS at buildong one have RDOC49 a tthe beginning then all of those will be together, reference the screenshot. You could create rules that automatically place these computers in groups by building or other criteria.
Apr 6, 2011 at 3:02 UTC
custom group possibility.
Apr 6, 2011 at 3:04 UTC

Good idea provided this information gets pulled. Sometimes it won't be set.
Apr 7, 2011 at 8:10 UTC
Thanks for all of the input. I think this is a very viable option to help with inventory. I really appreciate everyone's input.
Apr 7, 2011 at 10:53 UTC
You can always set the scan ranges by Active Directory Group OU.
In the scan range instead of putting in the IP address range simply put in WAD:Servers
WAD= Windows Active Directory
Servers= Organizational Unit
This may work depending on how you have your AD users and computers structured.
Apr 7, 2011 at 11:04 UTC
Cool tip Rob, didn't know that, that's an awesome tip
Apr 7, 2011 at 11:16 UTC
Yes, I think a lot of people overlook that one. Easier then figuring out ip address scan ranges. Just organize the AD OU with the computers you want to scan and plug that into the scan range like above and it will scan them.
It works well for out school district at least. Each campus has it own IP address range so we can troubleshoot easier. Just easier to plug in WAD:Servers for the domain controllers that are on different campus and have different and are on different ip address ranges.

Success and hard work Wed, Jan 13, 2016
Happy Wednesday Everyone!
To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge.
Here is a great sports quote that I came across that is pretty applicable to the growth and challenge that we are experiencing. This is an exciting time and it is important that we not lose focus on the big picture everything we do contributes to the overall success.
Thanks Team. Have a great rest of your week!

Best Of :: Food & Drink
"God is liberal of color; so should man be." We have it on good authority that when Herman Melville offered these words on interior decorating, he was not referring to Azul, the acclaimed restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. For one thing, Melville was long dead when Azul opened. Also, Azul isn't that colorful. Just gorgeous. A big, bright, slightly elevated open kitchen is clad in white marble and stainless steel, as is the ravishingly sexy raw bar. White linens grace the tables, champagne-color cloth upholsters the chairs, floors are of beautiful buffed rosewood, and a lovely lattice of metal screens the dining area from the bar. Azul is surrounded on three sides by bay, the unparalleled spectrum of which floods into the room via floor-to-ceiling windows. Blue and white do not a rainbow make, but Melville's advice has certainly been picked up by chef Clay Conley, who spins the whole color wheel onto his elegantly plated (and delectable) cuisine. Azul is a classic: the Moby Dick of Miami restaurant décor.
Carb-cravers, head to Little Havana. Thats where youll find Bon-Bon Bakery, which has been cranking out the baked stuff in Miami for 40 years. Here they sell hot Cuban bread straight from the oven. They also sell a variety of other breads with quirky names only Cubans could have come up with. In most cases, the names refer to their shape -- patines, for example, which translates to roller skates, and bonetico, which means little bonnet. For bread devotees with a sweet tooth, heres a real treat: pan de gloria (glory bread). They got it right when they named this one: sweet bread made with eggs, milk, and sugar. Another sweet bread for sale is the kind used to make medianoches. Heres something else thats sweet: The bread here is dirt-cheap. Dig through your pocket for loose change and youll be able to walk out with the goodies, which cost between 25 cents and $1 each.
The five or so authentic Chinese places in town have been done to death. Just Google "Chinese" and "Miami" and the names come up again and again. Lung Gong is authentic. Kon Chau's got dim sum on lock. But which restaurant is most Miami? Jamaica Kitchen no doubt. Enter its nook of the Sunset West Shopping Center and find yourself in a whirl of homemade soups (made daily), patties, and a curry goat that will make you do a backflip. But something odd about the menu draws you to a totally different place: the pork and hamchoy (a preserved mustard green), the suey mein (a noodle soup featuring a crazy egg roll stuffed with pork and shrimp $10 per quart). Or perhaps you are drawn to the simple delights of the "Chinese roast chicken." Prices vary from lunch to dinner, fluctuating between about $6 to $9. Sidle up to the long counter; enjoy the friendly banter of the mom and pop owners and the fine island beats playing in the background. Or don't. They've been around for more than 24 years, don't advertise, and have no interest in being reviewed or winning this award. Jah bless them they know they're the bomb.
Burgers stuffed with foie gras; burgers made from ground Kobe beef (destroying the whole point of this already butter-tender meat); burgers made from, and topped with, all manner of horrifyingly healthy stuff; burgers like the $99 double-truffle creation at DB's Bistro in Manhattan.... The chichi burger thing is one of today's hottest food trends. And we're so, so over it. For a taste that'll take you back to simpler, greasier times, hit this burger joint for a six-pack of old-fashioned sliders. Royal Castle's burgers are two-bite burgers like the Northeast's White Castles, or the Deep South's Krystals, but homegrown. In 1965 there were 287 shops in the chain, founded by Miami's "Hamburger King" William Singer; they were found throughout Florida, Georgia, Lousiana, and Tennessee. The chain no longer exists, but there is still this one independently run survivor in town that serves up classic thin patties sandwiched in comforting cottony-soft buns. The burgers' protein component is, admittedly, minimal. The beef patties are mostly just little edible coasters to hold the fried onions, full of good griddle grease, that are the main flavor component of all sliders. And an honest all-American junk food flavor it is. The price: 80 cents (90 cents for a cheeseburger), a bargain even when you eat a half-dozen.
A great number of great restaurants debuted this past year, but we're talking about flippin' David Bouley here, one of the three or four most talented chefs working in America today. Evolution, his first foray outside of New York, instantly magnifies South Florida's blip on the national culinary radar. It's also a great place to have dinner (it's not open for lunch), starting with raisin-and-apple rolls, salt-sprinkled brioche, and other Old World breads baked on premises. An herb broth brimming with pristine shellfish; Long Island duckling breast laced with honey, butter, and fresh lavender flowers; and scallop-crusted black sea bass in an intensely flavored bouillabaisse foam constitute another three mouth-watering reasons why Evolution is more evolved than its high-priced haute competition. (How expensiveç If you have to ask, you probably can't afford to eat here.) Then there are the cheeses by Terrance Brennan Artisanal Connoisseurs, the nearly infinite wine list, smoothly professional service, and a stylish Art Deco decor. Need further convincingç A complimentary intermezzo of electrically fresh strawberry soup with fromage blanc sorbet is so brilliant it will make you cry.
Your average Yucatecan wouldn't know a taco from a meatball parmigiana sandwich, but don't tell that to the owners of this neat and petite 40-seat restaurant, which specializes in cuisine from the Mayan peninsula. After all, if they want to sneak some fetching Mexican and Tex-Mex items onto their menu, it would be wrong of us to spoil things with regional quibbling especially when among the non-Yucatecan delights are the most kickass tacos al pastor in town.The trio of corn tortillas come sumptuously plumped with nothing but pork, the smoky nubs of meat softly grilled and subtly sweetened with pineapples and onions. Refried beans, salsa verde, and guacamole are served on the side, which is downright generous for a plate costing just $8.49. Plus it leaves plenty of pesos for glasses of Dos XX on tap.

Lodge's Goal Lifts UK to 1-1 Tie with No. 16 IU
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Sophomore midfielder Matt Lodge netted his third goal of the year and freshman goalkeeper Tyler Beadle gathered five saves to power the University of Kentucky men's soccer team to a 1-1 tie in overtime against No. 16 Indiana at the UK Soccer Complex on Wednesday night.
The overtime battle was the ninth of the year for the Wildcats, setting a school record for overtime games. Kentucky was led in the game by Lodge, who paced UK with two shots on goal.
The Wildcats had its best chance to finish the game with a win with just 50 seconds remaining in the second and final overtime period. Lodge fired a hard-hit shot from about 30 yards out, forcing a diving save from Indiana's keeper Luis Soffner. As the ball trickled back into play, Josh Albers was in the right place, firing a hard shot that bounced off the post, keeping UK from the golden-goal win.
Kentucky (4-6-4) finished with 13 shots taken in the game, while Indiana totaled 21 shots. UK got an outstanding outing from Beadle in goal, totaling five saves, keeping the Wildcats in the game throughout. Soffner totaled two saves in the contest, as IU totaled a 9-6 advantage in corner kicks.
The tie was just the fourth game in the 18-game series history with Indiana where the Wildcats have not lost, posting one win and three ties in series annals. UK and Indiana have now tied two of the last three meetings, as the Wildcats posted a 1-1 tie in 2008 in Bloomington.
Kentucky will return to action on Sunday, hosting league-foe FIU at 12 p.m. ET at the UK Soccer Complex.
Lodge got UK on the board in the 32nd minute, giving the Wildcats an early 1-0 lead with his third goal of the game. Lodge checked in off the bench and under two minutes later, the Rossington, England, native had the ball played back to him at the top of the 18-yard box by Jordan Rose. Lodge took a hard-hit volley and snuck it in by the far post on a brilliant goal. The assist was Rose's team-best third of the year.
The Hoosiers (7-4-2) got on the board in the 48th minute, evening up the game at 1-1. IU forced a corner kick of a UK handball inside the box, with Indiana's Andy Adlard beating UK goalkeeper Tyler Beadle with a hard-hit shot at the far post, just out of the reach of a diving Beadle.
Kentucky did an outstanding job controlling Indiana leading scorer Will Bruin, who entered the game with 10 goals in 12 games. UK got strong defensive efforts from Brad Walker, Ellis Vienne, Dylan Asher, Drew Midkiff and Shaun Deliberato in controlling Bruin's offensive chances.

Leeward Brown emerged as one of the top interior offensive line prospects in South Florida as a junior at Miramar High last season. After taking a Junior Day visit to Miami earlier this year, he committed to the Canes. Several other schools are still actively recruiting him but he remains solidly committed. If there would be a school that could become a factor down the road, it'd be West Virginia.
Tyler Gauthier plays mostly left tackle at Venice High but at 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds, he likely projects best as an interior offensive lineman at the college level. Gauthier landed a handful of Division 1 offers this spring, including one from Miami, and the Canes accepted his commitment after they watched him perform at camp earlier this month. He's a solid commitment.
(note: the following players are those I believe have legit offers from Miami, and are still considering the Canes)
Matthew Burrell is a four-star prospect on Scout, and is one of the most heavily recruited kids in the Washington DC area. At 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds, Burrell landed a very early offer from Miami. Most people believe he'll stay close to home and choose a school like Ohio State or Virginia Tech but he hasn't officially narrowed down his list, which still includes Miami.
Javon Patterson is one of the most heavily recruited prospects in the state of Mississippi. At 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds, Patterson landed an early offer from Miami but the Canes, and everyone else, will have a hard time pulling him away from his home state.
Connor Dyer could project as either a guard or tackle at the college level. At 6-foot-5 and 280 pounds, Dyer is one of the top line prospects in the state of Texas. Miami offered him in the spring, but he's being recruited nationally and has visited several schools already and one wasn't Miami. That will be their only chance, and it seems like a longshot right now.
Jalen Merrick has only been playing football for two years now but at 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, he's become one of the state's most heavily recruited OL prospects. Miami offered the New Smyrna Beach High standout a few weeks ago. Since he grew up a basketball player, Merrick never really followed any one team. Miami's first challenge will be getting him on campus for a visit this summer. He has some interest, but it's hard to tell how much since he's never visited and hasn't cut down his list at all.
Mike Horton has emerged as one of the top OL prospects in the Atlanta area. At 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, Horton has been adding major offers lately. Miami was one of the schools to jump into the mix, and he's expressed some interest about coming down for a visit. Until that happens, it'll be tough for Miami competing with the SEC schools who have been offering him lately.

[IMGCAP(1)]A large number of important tax changes go into effect this year for businesses.
Many were ushered in by the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, although legislation enacted earlier in 2015 and in 2014 also contributed a fair share. Still other changes are the result of various administrative pronouncements by IRS.

Zuo Outdoor Furniture Specialist Company
Zuo outdoor furniture – In the world of furniture manufacturing, there are companies that specialize in indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, and between the two there is a limited amount of crossover. Outdoor furniture constructed differently from different rooms, and while you can always use the outdoor furniture inside, the reverse is not always the case.
You do not need to be Madonna to know that some materials are better suited for outdoors than others, depending on the type of furniture. Outside material must be sturdy enough to withstand a temperature of variants, some moisture from rain, dew, etc. and humidity. One of the best is zuo outdoor furniture. For example, the carpet was a disaster when wet. It takes a long time to dry, and can be formed, and will also be really stiff when cold. That's why the carpet was not meant for outsiders should stay inside.
Likewise, materials such as suede, fur, and only dry ingredients should also not be taken out. The company manufactures and seating cushions in fabric that mimics the feel of the material more luxurious, but fully waterproof. Then there are certain parts that can go outside for a limited period of time before you need to worry. Matting, for example, although technically considered zuo outdoor furniture, not strong and holds much better in sunrooms and away from prolonged exposure to the sun and rain.

Just show me Wye Valley Cottages
Escape to the Wye Valley AONB, linking England with Wales, a
region of glorious countryside dotted with Wye Valley holiday
This is borderland territory full of ancient treasures with many
a tale to tell. Unravel such stories at castles like Chepstow in
Monmouthshire, or Goodrich and Wilton in Herefordshire. Marvel at
the magnificent ruins of Tintern Abbey, a masterpiece of Gothic
architecture; or at The Kymin, an unusual Georgian banqueting house
and naval temple frequented by Lord Nelson and affording
spectacular views over the Welsh countryside.
Talking of vantage points, others to look out for include Capler
Camp, Cherry Hill, Devil's Pulpit, The Prospect and Symonds Yat
Rock, overlooking the breathtaking horseshoe bend in the river.
Outdoor activities near your Wye Valley cottage
Pedalling through the Wye Valley along single-track lanes and
bridleways is one of the best ways to soak up the atmosphere of
this wonderfully unspoilt area. Otherwise, pull on a pair of boots
and tramp along the Offa's Dyke National Trail. Or try a new
activity at a variety of specialist centres offering climbing,
abseiling, canoeing, caving and so on - whatever your taste, expect
a truly rewarding experience.
Family days out may take the form of a lazy picnic on the banks
of the Wye, or a trip by steam at Perrygrove Railway. Other
attractions include Go Ape, Amazing Hedge Puzzle, Butterfly Zoo,
plus stacks of museums.
And when you fancy a little shopping, culture and other
entertainment, head for one of the market towns such as Hereford,
Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth or Chepstow.
Lots for everyone on a Wye Valley cottage holiday!

To be completely honest, I don't really know what I feel anymore. I've been on such an unpleasant game-of-life roller coaster that I'm all kinds of messed up these days. For the hell of it, I looked at my blog to see the last thing I had posted and was kind of surprised that the only update here is when I finally repainted my (old) room and got it decorated.
I don't live there anymore.
I wasn't kicked out, per se, but I think we were coming up on that point and so I had to get out. I lost my Walmart job in the bakery quite a while back now and ended up living out of a bag of clothes at my boyfriend's family home. That's actually where I still am. It's either here or on the streets right now and it's gotten to a point where I'm not sure which would be more tolerable.
You see, it's chaos in this household. His parents are getting a divorce soon and so are scrambling to get their house up to code and on the market. His sister is back home from North Dakota and dealing with mental problems of her own, on top of a weed habit. And the boy himself, I'm discovering all sorts of unpleasantness....
But that's neither here nor there.
Point is, I'm still alive and that could have gone down differently so very easily. Sometimes I'm a bit amazed at just how blithely I cheat death...
So here I am, sitting in the basement of a house in Chaska, MN, and contemplating job options and future apartments, because it's clear that living in this place isn't working for me. I'm nearly starving, because we're eating and living on one minimum wage, part-time income. I'm stressed out because I have no way of getting anywhere and I'm incredibly unfamiliar with this town/area. I feel isolated because I have no friends and no one's ever here....
And I've developed a rather unhealthy drinking problem.
So I may still be alive, but things aren't looking that great for me. Unless I find solid full-time employment soon and traipse out of here into an apartment I could be looking at more problems.
I want to say I'm sorry to dump all this here, but I'm not. This is my blog and I can post whatever I like. So....that's that. I guess.

|[Practical Hunting -Carapaceon Info-]
This section of Practical Hunting covers increasing your effectiveness when fighting monsters. This information collected from the important points, passed on to beginners by the Hunters Guild, is worth reading for anyone who wants to take a step up as a hunter.
|This section will provide you caution points on the dangerous Carapaceons known as Daimyo Hermitaurs, and Shogun Ceanataurs. They are both large and powerful monsters, with the Shogun Ceanataurs being so violent and powerful that beginners are not allowed to take Quests in which it is a target.
|The Daimyo Hermitaur inhabits areas with sandy soil, such as the Desert and Jungle. Its hard shell will repel attacks from any weapon not worth its mettle, meaning that your weapon must have incredible Sharpness to do any damage. This shell also makes incredible armor material, and can even increase defense when made into a weapon.
|The smaller Hermitaur is capable of appearing out from under the ground and attacking, thus making it an enormous threat to hunters. It is worth noting that Carapaceon Brains taken from a Hermitaur are a rare and valuable delicacy, and thus the Guild will buy them at a high price, sranger.
|Shogun Ceaunataurs mainly reside in the Volcanic Belt zone, but have also been sighted in the Swamp zone. Their pincers are like sharp sickles, allowing thm to easily cut through the volcanic rock. If you take on the beast with less than stellar armor, you must be extremely cautious.
|The Shogun Ceanataur's smaller cousin known as a Ceanataur is capable of spitting toxic venom, making it no less of a threat than its larger brethren. Its shell and pincers are both incredibly sharp, making them highly sought after as materials for crafting equipment.
|There have been reports that beyond the two examples of Carapaceons given in this section, there is a giant beast that also fits into this class. Those discovering this beast should be extremely careful. Remember, the Guild is always accepting members for our Quests.


text: This is the second half of the second Fairy Tail light novel, After the Magic Games. So far, Natsu has discovered a small black creature which he has called Kemokemo, and he is taking him place to place as part of an assignment to learn about an ancient civilization, but in the process, meets many other wizards, and is on a train to go to the ruins of this civilization with Kemokemo, his usual sidekicks, and other wizards. 5. After helping Erza with her hair, the mages from Mermaid Heel dress and do up Natsu and Grey as girls. Natsu is not very happy, but on the train, he is somewhat not feeling well because of his usual motion sickness problems. There is discussion about Kemokemo, and whether it is suitable for Natsu to raise him. They leave the train, and have an encounter with a large fish creature. Natsu, who is still dressed as a girl, gets the hem of his long skirt caught on fire. Lucy summons Sagittarius. The mages take the fish creature down. A little girl thanks them, and Happy speculates as to whether the fish creature is edible. 6. They come to a place flanked by stone dog statues. There is music and the smell of liquor. They encounter Bacchus, who tells Natsu that Kemokemo is not a dog. Bacchus wants a bit of a match with Natsu. 7. They learn that Kemokemo is more like a bird. Sting and Rogue join the group. They go to some ruins. Natsu puts his head to the floor and hears a heartbeat. A large creature shows up. 8. Wendy takes a tumble, and is helped up. Aquarius is summoned, and the group sees a large creature above them. Gray gets in on the action. Kemokemo has become very big - gigantic. The situation is stabilized. 9. Kemokemo speaks! He tells Natsu to leave him behind, because he has become big, among other things, and that that place is where he belongs. Natsu becomes upset and tries to argue with him. Kemokemo thanks Natsu profusely for all he has done for him. Lucy and the others (including Sting and Rogue), with great effort, convince Natsu to leave. People try to cheer up Natsu, who is sad. He pledges to meet Kemokemo again. Epilogue The Fairy Tail members return home. Natsu plants a seed by his house in memory of Kemokemo. Comments: This story takes place right after the magic games. As it is in the requisite period of time, those of you speculating about material for a filler arc in the anime series might consider the possibility that this plot could be used in an anime arc. This story seems to have been written to introduce people to nearly all the major characters of the Fairy Tail series, however, I suspect most of the people who enjoy this book will already be fans of the series. I think that this series does better for evoking humorous situations than in evoking a sense of adventure. As I have said before, my Japanese is crap, so I may not have gotten all the details. Sorry for that. However, for anybody else here who knows a little Japanese, the language seems to be written at the same level as the manga series. And no, I have not found the book in English.

FLEXO Magazine : May 2008
FTA TODAY Eighth Annual FTA Environmental Excellence Awards Recognizes Three Companies Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has the great plea- sure to honor three companies in this year's Environmental Excellence Award program. Metro Label Co. Ltd. in Toronto, ON, Canada was recognized in the Process Improvement cat- egory. Plastic Packaging Inc. in Hickory, NC took Innovative Technology, while C 8{ H Packaging in Merrill, WI earned an Honorable Mention in Process Improvement. Companies are recognized through this prestigious competi- tion because of their efforts in developing innovative processes, products and management approaches that have had a positive impact on the environment. Such efforts include, but are by no means limited to: measures to reduce waste, procedures to pre- vent pollution, policies that protect worker/employee safety and technological innovations that have helped make their facility more environmentally friendly. Applications are evaluated based on environmental benefits, other benefits, commitment and leadership and relevance to the industry and others. "It's exciting to see companies go beyond mere compliance and get creative in how they meet the sustainability challenge. They are setting wonderful examples for the rest of us to follow," commented one of this year's judges Michael Rogovein, chief engineer, Tension Envelope Corp. BUILT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Established in 1974, Metro Label Group is a leading manu- facturer of pressure-sensitive labels. Metro Label is a family- owned and operated business with four locations in North America, including its headquarters, Metro Label Co. Ltd. in Toronto. The company's commitment to building healthy, long term relationships with its customers and employees also applies to the environment. - When Metro Label began planning a building for its head- quarters, environmental concerns ranked high on the list of priorities. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) standard was used in the planning, design and con- struction of the new facility and Canada Green Building Council awarded Metro Label LEED Certification. The facility includes a recycling area, and staff has implemented a waste management plan, which resulted in diversion of 54 percent of construction waste from the landfill. An estimated 21 per- cent of the building material value was comprised of recycled content. Another 37 percent of the materials were sourced locally and renewable materials were used wherever possible. In the area of water conservation, Metro Label implement- ed several programs. The company used drought-resistant vegetation for landscaping. It installed alD. 9 cubic meter rainwater collection cistern for flushing ultra-low and dual- flush toilets. A storm-water treatment unit processes precipita- tion to remove 89 percent of the total suspended solids and 55 percent of total phosphorous before it leaves the site. Metro Label also addressed energy efficiency. The HV AC system includes energy and heat recovery ventilators, which capture heat and transfer it to the fresh air supplied to the plant. Essentially, press exhaust is used to heat the building in the winter. The lighting design provides for reduced light- ing power density and occupancy sensors for lighting control. Increased insulation throughout the building, along with high performance double glazed argon-filled windows reduces en- ergy loss. The results of Metro Label's efforts include a remarkable energy efficient operation, with a decrease of more than 45 percent in gas and electricity consumption per square foot (combined process and building) when compared to its previ- us manufacturing facility in Toronto. In the prepress and pressroom, Metro Label continues its I::nvironmental philosophies and employees' green technolo- gies. They utilize solvent-free plate developing technology. Dry media anilox roll cleaning is used in place of solvent- based parts cleaning equipment. More energy-efficient elec- tronic ballasts are being used on its UV presses. The company offers clients sustainable packaging solutions such as PLA (polylactic acid) films which are made from 100-percent re- newable resources (corn), are biodegradable and compostable. By investing in LEED construction and implementing cleaner print processes, Metro Label hopes to stimulate green competition by creating a standard for the printing industry to be more environmentally conscious with the hope that others MAY 2008 www.f I exog ra p hy.o rg FLEXO

This beverage is a gin liqueur, because the tears of a unicorn have to be sweet, right? It's also sparkling because, well, do I have to explain? Sparkles. 100% silver edible sparkles, in fact.
The tasting notes are described thusly:
Nose: Fragrant juniper rises from the glass alongside Curaçao orange and crisp lemon. Bruised mint leaves and fresh lemongrass brings herby freshness to the nose.
Palate: Big bundles of candied orange peels, flying saucer sweeties and a hint of maple syrup. Touches of pine-y juniper berries and cardamom introduce elements of spices.
Finish: Sweet, juicy orange freshness goes on and on throughout the finish.
I'd like to believe that this is what Legend's Lord Of Darkness drank on a daily basis.
