Welcome to TreelineM14.com!
Dedicated to bringing you the best in parts and accessories for your M14 /M1A rifle. Whether it's for a new build, upgrade or repair, we supply high quality parts and fast service at reasonable prices.
Welcome Fred's Customers!
I recently reached an agreement with Fred's to purchase substantially all of his M14 stocks (excluding M14E2 and some ultra collector stocks), handguards and cleaning kits. The first group of those products are now available for sale and shipping.
I try to keep your shipping costs close to what the actual cost is to ship your item(s), including packaging costs. I try to ship within two business days, unless I'm out of town (I post a notice on the website for vacations ). USGI stocks, because of the myriad combination options and grades are generally 2-3 business days to ship. Parts kits and custom stocks may take several days longer.
You generally won't get backordered here, unless I miscount inventory (if inventory stock is zero, you can't order the part).
I am getting some collector's grade stocks refinished and on the site for sale. Expect a slow but steady stream of these in the future as long as I can keep finding fancy stocks to refinish.
I have introduced a front rail system for M14E2/M14A1 stocks, a replica rubber butt pad for the M14E2/M14A1, a replacement "new style" butt pad for the M14E2/M14A1 - if you have been looking for M14E2 stock parts and hardware, you know how hard they are to find. The M14E2 front rail, replica butt pad and new style butt pad are shipping now.
We also have TreelineM14 chrome silicon operating springs and hammer springs in stock and shipping.
I invite you to browse through our store and shop with confidence. Create an account with us if you like, or shop as a guest. Either way, your shopping cart will be active until you leave the store.
Thank you for visiting.

Hey guys I was over at cnet voting for Spiceworks as the best software on the web and I came across and article referring to the amount of layoffs during this recession and I didn't realize how hard the tech sector has been hit. I've been a bit worried about losing my job. What about the rest of you techs does this economy bother you at all?
Here's the article if interested:
28 Replies

Yeah I hear ya! It's tough out there and very scary! I was recently laid off for about four months. However, I am back at work. I got real lucky because a friend of mine became the IT Manager for the company in the Aerospace industry and he needed help. As of now, the company that we work for is going strong.
The thing is, it depends on what kind of business you are in and how well that company is doing in this economy. The last company I worked for was in the packaging and thermoforming industry and they were doing great until the American Axle strike happened and the gas prices shot up... They let about 250 people go... that was just this last summer and fall.. They are still barely hanging on...
If you have a job right now you better love it! Cause you never know what's going to happen. These are definitely scary times! Let's just hope America can hang on! I have faith in all of us!
Feb 25, 2009 at 9:07 UTC
Yeah, I ran a search for jobs (like Desktop Support, Help Desk...general stuff) on Careerbuilder just out of curiosity. only 6 results came up and they were basically more of Director of IT or IT manager position. But 6? Thats seriously bad.
Feb 25, 2009 at 9:57 UTC
Yeah, IT is generally seen as overhead. So when things get tight, the first question is - who's not making any money for us?
So if you've saved the company a bunch of money recently, or somehow contributed postively to the bottom line (above and beyond the normal unreasonable expectations, LOL), make it known to people that matter!
And if/when you get layed off, shoot for industries that will remain strong, like healthcare, utilities, and government.
Feb 25, 2009 at 10:26 UTC
"And if/when you get layed off, shoot for industries that will remain strong, like healthcare, utilities, and government."
I agree, Dilbertina, but I work in the healthcare industry and I am not sure strong is the right word for us right now. I have never seen so many empty waiting rooms. People will always need healthcare, but right now they seem to only go to the doctor when its an emergency. Hospitals are doing well, but the rest of us are suffering.
Feb 25, 2009 at 10:35 UTC
I hear ya GG! Grand Rapids, Michigan went from an Auto Industry town to a medical town and let me tell you.. The medical field isn't doing that much better..
Isn't it funny how IT is considered an overhead though... If it wasn't for us keeping things running everybody would be out of a job! It makes no sense to me!
Overhead... BAH HUMBUG! :o)
Feb 25, 2009 at 10:58 UTC
Yeah, unfortunately IT is one of those jobs that you have to spend money to save money. My bosses never look at how much the new technology I recommend will save them in the long run, just how much they have to spend up front.

Yes, I have been racking my brain on how to change my supervisors impression of IT for years. When you come to them saying we need a new raid array inorder to continue to save data you can just see the monkey is playing the tamborine in their heads. However when primary file server crashes and no one can access iformation who do they go yelling at first. You guessed it.
Feb 26, 2009 at 3:48 UTC
There are still a lot of IT jobs here in the UK. Admittedly, it looks like salaries are a bit lower due to supply/demand of labour, and the more prevalent jobs appear to be coders/developers, and helldesk techs.
I was reading this morning about industries that are doing well out of the downturn - apparently it's a good time to be in chocolate (people stay in and eat chocolate if they can't afford to go out), gaming (again, staying in and playing games rather than going out), and cosmetics (can't afford a new outfit? Buy makeup instead.)

akp982 is an IT service provider.
Im not sure i agree with tom... I have seen a sharpe drop in jobs and a sharpe rise in people calling me to ask if im looking...
It is classed as just a big overhead by management normally and so it gets cut first before thinking about what else could be better in long run...
Or they ship it abroad
Feb 26, 2009 at 4:39 UTC
Oh, don't get me wrong, there has definitely been a sharp(e) drop in the number of jobs around, but if you look on the job sites, there are still opportunities to be had, just a lot of competition for them.
There are evidently still a good number of businesses that see opportunity to reduce costs and increase profitability through IT. There's also a much higher proportion of public-sector IT jobs turning up, particularly in healthcare.
Feb 26, 2009 at 5:01 UTC
I worked for an IT services company, and I would have told you we were doing fine.
I got laid off Monday...
Feb 26, 2009 at 8:11 UTC
IT jobs are a lot like Law Enforcement. If you are doing "Nothing" you have done your job. If you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off, you are in strictly response mode and not doing an effective job. This is the salient issue that a lot of upper management misses when they look for "non-productive" assets to layoff. Usually after the layoffs happen, something goes wrong within the network and its suddenly "Katie bar the door". Ah well, I will climb down off my soap box now.
Feb 26, 2009 at 9:01 UTC

Yes unfortuantely for us the market is becoming oversaturated which will ultimately drive our salaries down.
Feb 26, 2009 at 12:33 UTC
Danngggg OC, thanks for the link
Sorry to hear that Garnet, best of luck!
They got money where I'm working, the contract renewal comes up in June, I'm not sure if they'll renew because of the screwups of the rest of the "team".
We're divided in two teams:
1) Day to day operations, Windows servers. We're great.
2) Cisco phone equipment & firewalls, switches. #$%^&!
That sums it up!
If we don't get the contract is fine, meh I need vacations! Even if they're forced...
Mar 5, 2009 at 9:38 UTC
I work for a religious institution and they spend less overall in this economy, but in IT we always had to fight tooth an nail for every dime in our budget. Our budget hasn't been changed, which means we're all still underpaid and over worked; but its like that in a good economy for a non profit.
Mar 5, 2009 at 9:47 UTC
Nsoft Solutions is an IT service provider.
I feel your pain mdavenport. I worked in a non-profit organization and unless failure was imminent the budget was fairly non-existent. In addition to that I was working in a damn closet with the server and a portable fan.
Why did we pick this field again?
Mar 5, 2009 at 9:53 UTC
I work for a totally diferent non-profit group.
Just to give you an idea: we just got a SAN, 2 servers, VMware Infrastructure Enterprise.
This is exception to the rule though.
Mar 6, 2009 at 8:12 UTC
I work in manufacturing, in the US! We just had a second round of layoffs, which is really unusual for us, but I'm in the middle of putting in a new SAN, 3 servers, VirtualIron, Exchange 2007 and a generator.
Sometimes you can't put it off any longer, and spending on the IT needs didn't affect the layoffs in any way.
Mar 6, 2009 at 9:54 UTC
Limey: can you come over here and sell that idea to my boss? :-)
I'm in Manufacturing in USA too, and its all I can do to get a new UPS to replace the one that died TWO weeks ago!! We still have 2 mission-critical servers plugged into the wall. And forecast of thunderstorms for all next week. =:-O =:-O
I guess its job security. When those servers get popped, like I'm sure they WILL, I'll get some new hardware and some time spent restoring backups. Yeah, my job is like those cops running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Constant reaction mode. "Planning", what is that???
Gosh that was a Debbie Downer on a Friday... Sorry bout that!! :+)
Mar 6, 2009 at 9:56 UTC
Nsoft Solutions is an IT service provider.
Make sure you have all your request in writing. so you don't get blamed for those servers failing.
Mar 6, 2009 at 10:01 UTC
What he said ^^^
Mar 6, 2009 at 12:13 UTC
Well I just went back to work after 6 months of being out of work and let me tell you it was nothing nice!! I was in the world of Power Sports and when the economy started to fail it was all down hill for all of us. They pretty much closed the door on all of us. But now I am in the food industry and luckily I work for a guy that believes technology should is not second rate! Thank God for him!
To Anyone still out there trying to survive, my prayers go out to you. Good luck
Mar 10, 2009 at 11:05 UTC
Not tech job related but did you see in the news that 700 people have applied for 1 janitorial position in a Ohio Middle School?

In addition to Ann Arbor, Michigan is also a senior friendly community as well. They also offer their residents an array of services and amenities. They provide transportation services to their residents and every Wednesday is shopping day for their residents. They have social functions and recreational activities for their residents to socialize and communicate with one another. In general, I would rank the Cranbrook Tower Apartments on a five stars rating for serving their seniors with such elegance and luxury living life style for such low budgets rates.

Share your story with other Donor Families:

I am a living altruistic kidney donor. My name is Anthony Parr from Tasmania and I'm pleased to share my short story of why I felt so strongly about donating a kidney to a stranger. I have carried my organ donor card in my wallet for some 25 years and never gave it a thought about living donors until 2012 when I was reading about organ donors on the internet, I noticed a story about living donors. I fell in love instantly and never had one doubt. Within 2-3 days I saw my GP and then went to my local hospital for an interview and testing which started a week or so later.
Seventeen months later I was still a long way from donating. The level of suspicion and caution was more than I expected, I was told most potential altruistic donors were not accepted. I felt flat and was sure that my chances of donating in Australia was minimal. Seventeen months of testing along with a lack of interest on the hospitals part was more than I needed. I went home and put plan B into effect. Leaving Australia to donate a kidney was my only option. I made contact with a man in the USA after some research and in a very short time I sent a blood sample to a major hospital with a long history in transplant surgery. I was a match and a 62 year old gentleman was about to have his life changed forever.
On the 4th January 2013 I departed Australia for the USA. My testing started on the 8th January, which involved 3 days testing. On surgery day the 16th January 2013 my dream of donating a kidney was now one of the most happiest days I can remember. The stranger I donated to was now my friend and my joy for this man and his family will never leave me.
It is now over 2 years since my kidney donation and its my great pleasure to wish everyone considering a living donation all the very best with this important decision. To all who have lost a love one and yet gave to others this great gift of life through organ donation,you are a great example to me that I should be blessed with good health and share it with a sick person as a living donor.Thank you for helping me with my decision.I am a better person for it.
Anthony Parr.
My beautiful son was only 4 days short of his 24th birthday when he tragically lost his life as a result of a motorbike accident. He lived life to the full and always loved to help people in need. It is only fitting that he was able to continue help people as a result of his passing. On the day of his birthday I received the wonderful news that he had saved 6 people's lives with the gift of 7 of his organs. It brings me great comfort to hear our the recipients are going when they do write. Stewart volunteered twice to Uganda and helped so many people over there. I had the opportunity to go over there after he died and volunteered too. I was able to meet some of the people whose lives he touched and it really inspired me to want to follow in his footsteps and continue to help people in need. I also like encouraging families to talk about organ donation and to consider registering. We have no control when it is our time and it is important not to put it off. Below is the letter I shared with his recipients:
Dear Organ recipient,
I am the mother of the beautiful young man who donated his organ(s) to you. I just wanted you to know that it is one of the very few things that have given me strength and comfort in knowing that in some way that my son lives on through you and that through his donation that he has saved so many lives. My son gave fully of himself when he was alive and then gave the gift of life when he passed on.
My beautiful son had dedicated his life to God when he was only in his teens and asked God to use him and he trusted that He would take care of all his needs. He spent a lot of time on missions volunteering to help those in need and also had a sponsor daughter who he had the opportunity to meet. He was on a low wage as he was an apprentice but yet he still donated each month to three worthy charities who also do a lot of work to help people in need. He would work long hours at work and would then go out to people's homes to fix things for them at no cost. Even on the day he had his accident he had helped his boss, and then fixed the tiles on the roof of the house where his fiancé was renting to stop rain from coming through and then went under the house to fix some plumbing for the owners at the house where he lived. He did all that on a Saturday when most people would be resting.
My beautiful son wanted to make this world a better place and he achieved so much in the short time he was here. I wanted to share a poem I wrote about my beautiful boy:
Every night I cry
Will the tears subside?
Your cheeky smile
It stretched a mile
You shone a light
Made the world so bright
You leant a hand
But had no demands
Your heart was pure
Always had a cure
I am so proud
Want to scream out loud
A love so rich
You will be sorely missed!
Please know that it means so much to me that my son helped save your life and that a piece of him lives on in you. I pray that you will continue to live a long and healthy life and am so grateful that you no longer have to suffer from your illness.
God bless you.
I hope reading this will inspire many people to register! 🙂
We lost our son Matthew New Year's Day 1995 after a short illness. He was seven months old. We agreed to donating what was needed. But in our grief this was left open ended. What did they take? More importantly did he help save another child life? The children's hospital Melbourne didn't enlighten us. I think it would have helped in the healing process. Matthew would have been 21 years old yesterday. I hope something of him is doing wonderful things for someone else.
Barney's Gifts
My eldest son Barney was a typical boy, cheeky and headstrong, long and lean like his dad, Rob. He played soccer. He was into collecting Pokemon cards and playing Stars Wars computer games. He was learning to surf and loved being in the water.
Barney was nine years and 22 days old when he died. He fell ill with Influenza B and suffered a febrile seizure whilst in the bath.
Rob performed CPR while I phoned the ambulance. Together they managed to get a pulse, but unfortunately they couldn't get him to breathe on his own.
Barney was kept on life support for two days before his organs began shutting down and he was declared brain dead. Rob and I are registered organ donors. So when we were asked if we would consider donating Barney's organs, Rob and I just looked at each other and said "Yes, that's exactly what Barney would want." Besides if Barney was in need of an organ to keep him alive we would have gratefully accepted one.
Barney's lungs, kidneys and liver saved the lives of four very ill people. An adult, two teens and a child of similar age to Barney. Unfortunately there was no compatible recipient for his big, strong, beautiful heart (that never missed a beat after they got it going again) but it was donated to research along with his corneas. All research conducted adding to the body of knowledge, to help save lives in the future.
I don't think you ever get over the death of a child. The pain becomes an ache that never leaves and it doesn't get any easier. You just somehow learn to live with it.
We still have Sam, Barney's younger brother, to live for, and we now have a new baby daughter Lucy, and an even newer baby son Ben, to tell all our Barney stories to.
We have recently heard from one recipient, a teenager who received Barney's lungs. She is living a very happy, healthy and full life. She expressed extreme gratitude for her organ donor and donor family. We pray for Barney's other recipients everyday and hope they might one day find the courage to contact us.
In the mean time, we thank God for the Gift of Barney and for Barney's Gifts.
Andrew Kane 17 years young.
07/04/1988 – 24/12/2005
HI my name is Lynne,
Back in 2005 My husband Laurie & I got the worst phone call of our lives. It was to say our son Andrew just 17 years old had been hit by a car. His work mates had run back to his workplace and they were the ones who called us. He was just 10 minutes from home, crossing the road where he shouldn't have.
That phone call was the worst in my life. We rushed down to the accident site to see the ambulance take off with our son in it. We went straight to the Alfred hospital in Melbourne approx a 40 min drive. They would not let us see him but they asked us to give any details that may describe him. This is every parents nightmare as you go blank to think of anything. The child you see every day and yet you find it hard to come up with distinguishing details that will make him different from everyone else, not knowing how he looks after an accident if he is disfigured etc.
It felt like hours passed before we are allowed to see him. He was sent up for surgery due to a shattered lower leg, broken pelvis, ruptured spleen and other injuries I just could not take in at the time. The ER doctor told us there was a 3% chance of survival. My heart dropped.
I approached the nurses when we were waiting, to state that Andrew wanted to be an organ donor.
Time is still confused in my mind as to how and when the next steps happened. Within the next 24 hours Andrew was pronounced brain dead. The Trauma doctors spoke to us and said they were aware Andrew was noted as a donor and would then put in the call to the donor team.
The LifeGift – now known as Donatelife – person came to talk to us and fill in the relevant forms. There is a blur here but we agreed to donate any & every thing that was possible. Andrew donated his Liver, Heart, Kidney, his pancreas went to research and leg veins into storage for later use.
We have received letters from the 3 recipients and know that Andrew gave them a new life.

CRISTINA CÁRDENAS IS deep into her Yellow Period. The emotional portrait paintings that the Mexican-born Tucson artist is showing at José Galvez Gallery are bathed for the most part in a golden light. But this light is not always heavenly, though her women are posed like saints. Their eyes are cast upward toward heaven, their lips have been pierced by thorns ("Corona de Flores') and their bleeding hearts have been wrenched from their chests ("Retrato en la Calle Meyer"). These suffering women are drenched in the gold of melancholy, in the somber amber of despair.
The new pictures, fluidly painted in gouche on paper and highlighted in crayon, are marked like all Cárdenas' work by an effortless draftsmanship; hardly anyone else around can draw hands and feet so well. Gathered into a two person-show, Retratos Intimos, Mascaras Pintadas (Intimate Portraits, Painted Masks) that also features Cárdenas husband, Gonzalo Espinosa, Cárdenas' works are part of a series she says is about violence against women, particularly along the border.
There are hints of political tempests tossing these women. For instance, a sea of tiny Mexican flags surrounds the woman in "Retrato con Banderas (Portrait with Flags)" and she holds her hands out, as though resisting unseen forces. One of the few pictures of men, "Un Mexicano in Francia (A Mexican in France)," shows a somber-faced young Mexican worker far from home. But these works don't carry the political clout of Cárdenas' larger, earlier mural-like works on such painful subjects as immigration. The intimate portrait format leads a viewer to think mostly about emotional, rather than physical or political violence.
Recently, a travel grant took Cárdenas to France, where she painted several of these yellow pictures. It may be that travel prompted Cárdenas, a fan of the great Mexican mural painters, to try out this small size. But she has not abandoned her reworking of Mexican motifs. In fact, like Frida Kahlo before her, she finds the bloody iconography of traditional Mexican religious art is a perfect vehicle for portraits of agonized women in psychological hell. And following the lead of Hispanic holy art, the works' violent religious ecstasies have an undercurrent of eroticism. In "Retrato en el Infierno I (Portrait in Hell I)" the saintly woman abandons her modest silence and shrieks as the luscious gold and orange flames lick her naked flesh. In "Infierno II" her breasts have multiplied and shoot out lines of pain.
All the women resemble Cárdenas physically, though only one picture--of feet and legs--is specifically identified as a self-portrait. A half dozen years ago Cárdenas did a large painting of the bare feet of desperate women who were crossing the barbed wire at the border, heading al norte. In this new piece, "Myself in Giverny," Cárdenas shows herself with her own feet firmly planted on the ground in Giverny, where Monet painted, but she surrounds herself with tropical Mexican flowers. This is a self-confident piece, of a woman sure of her identity both as an artist and as a Mexican out in the world.
Cárdenas is just one of four local painters now showing in galleries who are using the human figure to explore questions of identity. Down at Raw Gallery, Joe Forkan has appropriated figures from old masters paintings and modern media and reworked them into acrylics on canvas. Atop a rendition of a young serving girl straight out of Flemish art, "Counterweight," is a row of three close-up portraits of women's faces, each cropped like a photograph. A painted snapshot of the weary pope floats strangely above a sorrowful basset hound in "His Master's Voice."
Forkan, a Tucson Weekly cartoonist who ordinarily works in black ink, revels in his thick applications of paint and fauvist colors. At times he emulates the "bad painting" school of art, making deliberately ugly pictures designed to make a viewer wince--there's a grisly work of a bloody butcher, dogs and bones. And his satirist's cynicism breaks out in a picture of a bride and groom threatened by a storm ("Chance of Showers" is the deadpan title) and in "Vanishing Species," which pairs the nuclear family with the saguaro cactus.
Also at Raw is Heather Green, a gifted young painter who is showing four oils of an admirable mastery and complexity. Her large canvases are thinly painted in moody monochromes of beige and brown. Like Cárdenas, Green takes her inspiration from Mexico, where she lived for a time. She constructs Spanish-style architectural spaces that are metaphors for empty psychological space. In the dreary cafe of "Sub Rosa," a woman glares suspiciously at the man's she's with. He's hiding behind a mask.
Masks, of course, are a classic motif in Mexican folk art and a perfect vehicle for examining questions of identity. Espinosa, at Galvez, brings a fresh perspective to this well-worn device in his acrylic paintings by substituting leather boxers' masks for the more standard painted Indian masks. In "Repetition of Ideas," Espinosa paints a large, round boxer in simplified shapes and bold colors. The mask conceals the boxer's head, while a tiny echo of his body, painted at the upper right, floats like a dream of his true self.
Retratos Intimos, Mascaras Pintadas continues through February 10 at José Galvez Gallery, 743 N. Fourth Ave. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday though Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and 6 to 9 p.m. on Downtown Saturday Nights. For more information call 624-6878.

QOTW: Asian Man Asks, "Why Wouldn't a Black Woman Not Want a Black Man?"

I wonder if the organizers of those studies that put Asian men and black women as the most unattractive and undateable knew of the psychological damage they have done. This is so awful and sad…

Whether you want it as a prop, decoration, or just want to smoke in style, the long-stemmed Churchwarden pipe is one of the most easily recognizable shapes in classic smoking gear. While creating a functional pipe requires some specialty, kiln-fired clay, the sculpting techniques required to make this design are basic enough for almost anyone to try.
Things You'll Need
- Low-fire pottery clay
- 6 gauge wire, non-insulated
- Wire cutters
- Low-fire kiln
Pull two pieces of clay. Make one about the a tablespoon's worth and the other half again as much. Soften both pieces by working them in your hand until they're pliable and easy to work with.
Form the bowl. Roll the small piece of clay into a ball, then press it against your work surface to create a flat bottom. Press your thumb into the top of the ball to form a hollow, then rotate your thumb around around, pinching the sides of the hollow to make it larger and evenly shaped.
Create a hole in the bowl. Poke a hole in the side wall of the bowl with the needle, inserting it from the outside. Wiggle the inserted needle in a circular motion to widen the hole until it's about the size of a pencil eraser, or roughly a third to a half inch across.
Attach the pipe filter. Press the metal pipe filter into the soft clay on the inside wall of the bowl, positioning it over the hole you just made.
Build the pipe. Form the larger piece of clay into a ball. Form the long, slightly curved shape of a Churchwarden pipe with a strip of wire, then spear the ball onto the wire. Roll out the ball into a long, thin snake while it's still speared on the wire, causing the clay to form this shape around the wire.
Connect the pipe to the bowl. Attach the bottom of the clay pipe to the outside of the bowl's hole, blending the clay around the edges to connect it. Lay the pipe on its side, then pull out the wire. Let the clay dry until hard.
Kiln-fire the clay according to the clay distributor's instructions.

We have been using a product from Desktop Standard called ProfileMaker for a number of years now. Over the years DesktopStandard create a new product called Policy Maker which caught Microsoft's attention and they then later "acquired" DesktopStandard and re-branded PolicyMaker "Group Policy Extensions"
PolicyMaker did a few more things than PolicyMaker did so I stuck with ProfileMaker. The latest version I have is 9.0.2 and recently when I attempted to Join/Promote a Windows 2003 SP R2 server to my existing Windows 2003 SP2 domain I started getting RPC Server errors from ProfileMaker when the client executed. After hours of trying to figure out what the problem was along with a lengthy call to Dell for Software support (Server) I demoted the R2 server from the Domain and low and behold ProfileMaker started working again.
Has anyone here used ProfileMaker and found an adequate replacement for it? As it stands I can't move forward with my Domain infrastructure upgrade until I find a solution.
In brief, ProfileMaker allows you to create filtered configuration for attached (Active Directory) equipment and based on the filters can execute complex configuration/drive mappings register edits etc. GPO's do not do everything that ProfileMaker can do and simply.

Nope :-(

You might be the only person using this product around here. I've never heard of it before.
Mar 16, 2010 at 11:05 UTC
My big problem is that I am looking for a replacement for this because I have a new server to join the domain, and it is 2003 R2 and when I join it to the Domain, I get these RPC errors, when I demote the R2 server they go away. So this product is having issues with R2 :-( and I suspect it will with 2008. I rely heavaly on this product to do various drive mappings and system setting that can't be done with GPO's unless I upgrade to Windows 7 or 2008 server and I am not prepared to do that at this time, I still have a couple 2000 servers out there.

May 4, 2010 at 9:26 UTC
There seems to be some movement on this, I found a program called KiXtart 2010 that might be useful, still have a lot of reading up on it though :-(
The problem is that I have too many antiquated methods of doing things, I need to upgrade/replace our DC and file server but if I move to 2003 R2 or above ProfileMaker quits working. So I need to rid myself of that first.
Feb 3, 2011 at 10:50 UTC
As an update to this since migrating to 2008 server it comes with GPP Group Policy Preferences which is nearly identical to ProFileMaker. So I have been saved :-)

In the Partyhat mini-game you can only get the common unrare partyhats ...... white, blue, red, green, purple, yellow and godzhell's custom made black partyjat (head slot). ALL YOU NEED IS A P RING OR AGS.

This will work everytime, you can repeat it as many times you want. But when you go back to skillz you will be air because you was on second floor, to get down just enter ::ground and enjoy.By - ibos 100

Hot Artichoke Dip With Shrimp, Mustard and Mozzarella
Recipe by MarieRynr
This is totally delicious and one of those handy recipes we pull out when we're having a large party. Depending on the crowd we sometimes add 2 minced jalapeño peppers for a spicier version.
Top Review by tmwood1012
Outstanding!! Made for husband's birthday party and it was gobbled up. Added chopped spinach to half of the recipe to give a variation. It was definitely better just being the artichokes. The spinach drowned out some of the artichoke flavor. Used larger shrimp and cut them into bite size chunks. Gave the dip a nicer appeal. Will def. make again! Thank you!

Skip to comments.Video of Obama Columbia classmate that never saw him in any class or ever heard of him
Posted on 08/28/2012 7:46:38 PM PDT by jyro
Video --- Obama classmate calls for unsealing of records at Columbia.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I agree with Mr. Root and have said the same thing many times. I think Obama attended school and obtained student aid as a foreign student.
Doesn't the Bar exam require proof of educational requirements?
I wonder if we will ever know WHO Obama really is. Sure is convenient that his mother and white grandparents are all deceased, and his Kenya family is kept silent. He seems to be a fictional character from the get go
I've been adding it up: How did Obama seal so many records so effectively and completely. He was only a chump Illinois state senator at his highest point. It would take someone like the CIA to seal and bury his records.
My current theory is that Obama an Indonesian citizen could use his foreign to go to Pakistan for the CIA. I'm not saying that Obama was James Bond, but the CIA may have felt that they could groom him into something and agreed to set up a cover story diploma from Columbia (that Obama may never have attended) as part of the deal.
I think that Obama just used this as a free trip and used Columbia as a stepping-stone to Harvard. As an affirmative action 'wunderkind' Obama was basically given both of those degrees.
I sure as hell wouldn't hire him as president of my company without a plethora of forms, certificates, signatures, affidavits whatever!!!
I sure as hell wouldn't hire him as president of my company without a plethora of forms, certificates, signatures, affidavits whatever!!!
I waited two full minutes before pressing the post button again
Obama's background is so bizarre that it reeks of CIA involvement....is this a coup d'etat attempt???
That would not surprise me.
Are you unaware that they took his law license away - supposedly for having lied on the questionare?
reeks of CIA involvement....is this a coup detat attempt???
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
That would explain Biden..and all the czars....
Trouble was the 'plan' was to overthrow and have joebama take over and they just didn't realize he really is that stupid, it is NOT an act...
Back to the drawing board.....
Meanwhile BO fiddles, while the economy goes further into the dark hole.
Before you can get your credentials suspended, you have to have the to begin with.
Sure - in about 30-40 years. Its hard keeping up "a wall," and when everyone connected with him is dead, and reputations, feelings and money no longer need to be protected, the truth will come out. It has happened with the JFK and RFK - for those who may care, we know all about their womanizing, drug use and mob connections.
OK, my trick is to open a new browser tab or session of FR and click my pings. If it already took it will be there. If it isn't there, you can post again. Works fine even for government work!
If I am not sure my comment posted, I go back to the page I opened the thread up from, such as "Latest Articles" and reopen the thread, while leaving the page with the questioned post open. Then I go down to the bottom of the thread and see if my comment is there. If it isn't yet posted, I shut that page, and go back to opened posting page, and hit "post" once again. But if the comment is already posted on the thread then I shut the posting page. It just takes a minute, and helps keep those embarrassing double, and even triple post at a minimum.
The media simply ignore the most obvious explanations. Their business is talking. They repeat nonsense like nineteenth century journalists who were paid by the word.
Percy Sutton, a man with impeccable credentials, lawyer to Malcolm X, near the end of his life spoke carefully about Obama's patron, Whalid bin-Talal, in an interview on NY Public Access television. Sutton was not senile. One of bin-Talal's attorneys, Texas-based Kahlid al-Monsour wrote to Sutton asking for help getting Obama into Harvard. (The version now on Youtube has been edited, removing Sutton's comment that money is not at issue because bin-Talal is one of the world's wealthiest men. Mansour, a black nationalist, a founder of the Black Panthers, became a Whahbi recruiter working the US Prison system. His "slave name" is Don Warden.
Warden/Mansour is quite open about having met Barry at Occidental. Sutton told us bin-Talal was funding Barry's education. The implication is that sponsorship began in the early 80s at Occidental. Listen to Mansour, a well-spoken black nationalist, a bit more virulent than Rev Wright. His voluminous lectures are still on Youtube. When he attended UC Boalt Law School, bin-Talal was attending Menlo College, about twenty miles away, and, though no one has suggested a connection, Hilary had gone to Berkeley to work for one of the law firms defending Black Panthers. It was also about the time John Holdren came to Berkeley to create a green revolution, and wrote, even while a professor of Energy and Environment (an activist), for the Marxist journal Ramparts.
After Barry gained entrance to Harvard, or contemporaneous with admittance, Harvard received a twenty million dollar donation from bin-Talal, and later sponsored Havard Divinity's largest division, The Whalid bin-Talal Center for Islamic Studies. Bin-Talal happens to be the largest stockholder, after Murdock, of News Corp, owner of Fox News and the WSJ. Follow the money.
The illusion is that some legitimate Constitutional process is underway. Every Senator but John McCain, in April 2008, signed agreement that to be a natural born citizen requires citizen parents. That was in Senate Resolution 511, Clare McCaskill's second senate action to assert that McCain was eligibile, because McCain's ineligibility shut up Republicsns, most of them lawyers, who, if they never read John Marshall or Morrison Waite, have certainly heard of the 14th Amendment, whose author John Bingham told congress unequivocally: "I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen ."
The political parties ignore our legal foundations to maintain the payola which is the source for members of both party's personal wealth. They fear being called racists, which makes them racists because it implies that black citizens, if told the truth, would vote as a block for Obama. They already do, but perhaps because they sense the nonsense being spouted on both sides, clearly observing that who Obama is concerns neither party. Both refuse to confront that obvious fact, both using the Alinsky technique, the 5th Rule, "ridicule is man's most powerful weapon." Neither major party will confront the truth because both have participated in the coverup.
Obama was never eligible, and the Republicans are as guilty as Democrats of violating Article II Section 1. It is a complicated issue, but the millions of dollars spent hoodwinking the electorate could have been spent educating and informing them. At least Romney had the sense to chose a natural born citizen as running mate. Rubio and Jindal are not. Mitt knows well the legal definition of natural born citizenship because his father attempted to run in contravention with "born on the soil", claiming his two citizen parents made him natural born, like McCain. George didn't prevail and so eligibility was not tested, but there were lawyers ready to pounce, just as there were lawyers ready when Charles Evans Hughes ran against Woodrow Wilson, Huges' parents being British subjects when he was born in New York. There was direct precedent from Wong Kim Ark, born in San Francisco of Chinese citizens, who was made a naturalized citizen, as is McCain, Hughes, and Obama. Obama, in fact, told us as much. Mitt is natural born because while his father was not natural born, his father was a citizen (Mitt's grandfather), making George a naturulized citizen, just as Barack is probably a naturalized citizen because his mother is a citizen (probably, because there is a question about her age when Barry was born). But Barry was careful never to declare himself a natural born citizen. Doing so might have provided standing for a law suit, and Kennedy might have joined the three originalists on the court to permit an appeal to be heard (Roberts having shown his stripes as a squishy activist).
The ineligibility of Obama will always cloud whatever legacy he leaves. Nothing he signed is legal. Our government is pretending because they fear the consequences. One consequence is that anyone curious enough to read our history, and search our supreme court documents, presuming that the editing of citations in supreme court cases done by Soros' Center for American Progress has been undone, can learn the truth. Truth can be burned and buried, but communications have made that much harder. But who would have thought that our major law schools would be complicit in scrubbing our legal history to protect Obama?
Also, I find it odd he transferred in his junior year meaning he missed entirely Columbia's 2-year excursion through Contemporary Civilization and Literature Humanities, essential parts of their much vaunted "core curriculum."

A valet driver's adventure to show off the luxury car as he ditched his work for pleasure of driving the Lamborghini, turned sore as the car caught fire. The video showes flames from the exhaust and the 'no clue' valet is seen running around the car trying to figure out how to put out the flames.
As per an Instagram user's account, the valet tried to over-rev the car just to attract attention from the passers-by, this took place near a mall on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach's South Beach neighborhood.
Men in the video are seen trying to put the fire out, however, the car was beyond drivability. It had to be pushed away from the scene, which created 'candid moments' for the people as they clicked away their smartphones.
Lamborghini is an Italian luxury carmaker with production output of 2500 plus cars in 2014 with €469 million (2012) as revenue.

Insurance Exchange Helps Brokers Reduce Workload, Access New Markets
and Enhance Profitability
September 20, 2010 — New York, NY – LexisNexis® Risk Solutions today announced that sixteen insurance brokerages have joined the LexisNexis® Insurance Exchange including: AmWINS Group, Inc; Brown & Brown, Inc.; BB&T Insurance; John L. Wortham & Son, L.P.; BancorpSouth Insurance Services, Inc.; Rutherfoord/MMA; EPIC Insurance Brokers; Van Gilder Insurance; McQueary Henry Bowles Troy, L.L.P.; RCM&D; Sterling & Sterling, Inc.; M3 Insurance Solutions, Inc.; Early, Cassidy & Schilling, Inc.; Roach Howard Smith & Barton; Oswald Companies; and Cook, Hall & Hyde, Inc.
The Insurance Exchange is an innovative new business and renewal submission placement platform that enhances the flow of application data between insurance agents, brokers and carriers. The Insurance Exchange helps enhance agent and broker profitability by reducing workload, facilitating access to new markets, and improving collaboration between organizations. It is the result of an alliance formed through LexisNexis Risk Solutions, The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers and Marketcore, Inc. to improve the efficiency and transparency of the industry distribution systems for all participants.
The brokers are joining the Insurance Exchange as part of an early adopter program which formally launches in October 2010. The early adopter program is an opportunity for a select group of leading brokerages and carriers to use the exchange and provide feedback to LexisNexis, in advance of an industry-wide launch in early 2011.
"Streamlining the communication of data between agents and brokers, and improving the transparency and productivity of the current system has been a Council goal for more than a decade," said Ken A. Crerar, president of The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers. "The LexisNexis Insurance Exchange is designed for the insurance industry to address this need. The Insurance Exchange will simplify the major steps of the insurance transaction process, enabling access to key market information for better decision-making."
"We are excited to join the LexisNexis Insurance Exchange because it promises to deliver new workflow efficiencies, while allowing us to pursue new business opportunities," said H. Wade Reece, chairman & CEO of BB&T Insurance Services, Inc. "The Insurance Exchange will simplify the way we do business, while delivering additional paths to enhanced profitability."
Following the first phase of the early adopter launch, LexisNexis has commitments from additional top 100 brokers including Lockton, Inc.
"The goal of the LexisNexis Insurance Exchange is to create greater efficiency between the broker and the carrier. This will result in enhancing the quality of services to our customers," said John Lumelleau, president and CEO of Lockton, Inc. "The Insurance Exchange is about streamlining and automating the submission process to reduce the many challenges associated with the facilitation of an insurance placement. If the industry is to remain competitive, technology has to play a bigger role in how our services are delivered."
"The early adopter brokers represent many of the industry's leading organizations," said Peter Lynch, head of the LexisNexis Insurance Exchange. "We are pleased to introduce them to the Insurance Exchange and we look forward to gathering their input and responding to it as needed to ensure the platform meets the precise needs of the insurance industry."

It seems the test (done by another guy) indeed used an "everything plus the kitchen sink" default Apache httpd at first, but then "dropping off 3/4 of all of the default modules" (maybe not that much, but only for serving static pages) seemed to have a not big help.

Maybe that was a big difference. (The "default Linux" didn't provide such feature.) But it might have limited help for greatly increasing the connection number.

As of Tuesday 28th February, reading lists requiring articles and/or chapters to be digitised will be processed in a new way to streamline the service for students.
Currently, when an Aspire reading list is (re-)published, links to digitised articles and chapters are added by library staff to a folder called Digitised Documents in the corresponding Blackboard module. In the new process, links to digitised articles and chapters will be pasted directly into the corresponding items in the Aspire reading list by library staff who will then republish the list. Subsequently when a student clicks on the article or chapter in the Aspire reading list in Blackboard, they will click through directly to the digitised document.
This change is taking place on a rolling basis. If you publish a new reading list, or re-publish one for which nothing has been digitised for this academic year, it will get the new treatment. If you re-publish your list to get a few extra digitisations for a module that is currently running, library staff will add the readings to the existing Digitised Documents folder in the Blackboard module.Module co-ordinators will want to bear this change in mind when updating Aspire lists for the new academic year, particularly where they may have added notes to students in the lists and/or in Blackboard referring students to the Digitised Documents folder. Follow these instructions to add further articles or chapters to Aspire lists for digitisation.
Contact your subject librarian or email@example.com 01970621896 if you have any questions or would like a quick demonstration.

IWSG August 2016
Well folks, I just got home from a whirlwind tour that included a trip to Michigan to see the extended family for a reunion. Whew! i'm tired to say the least.
But not too tired to post for this month's IWSG. Too tired to link back to the co-hosts but I can still manage to post none-the-less.
I'm wrapping up a dozen or so 30 - 60 second videos for my latest project. My concern is I need to get a young fresh face other than my ugly mug on the screen. So i'm kicking around some ideas to bring in someone else to do many if not most of the videos.
As you all know, ambitious projects never seem to be finalized. They need constant tweaks and improvements. But you need to come to the point where you need to move forward and go live, then fix things as you go along.
Question So what's the latest and greatest in your world?

July IWSG, The Launching Pad and Happy Fourth of July!!!
Hello everyone and as always thanks for stopping by and saying hello! July's IWSG is brought to you by Alex J. Cavanaugh and his host of helpers Tamara Narayan, Pat Hatt, Patricia Lynn, Juneta Key and Doreen McGettigan.
Be sure to stop by their blogs and show them a little love.
I've been hard at work on a new project called The Launching Pad. I've never built out a website quite like this. I'm learning much about plug-ins and how they work. I need two more, a text editor with a better selection of fonts, and I need a plug-in that allows me to move stuff up and down in sequence. I'll find them eventually.
Currently I'm working on worksheets and checklists. It's not easy making worksheets with expandable and fillable text, so I'm outsourcing it to Fiverr.com.
And I hope all you Yanks are having a safe and fun time celebrating Fourth of July!!!
Anyway, that's my world these days. What's going on in your world?
Wednesday, June 7, 2017
June IWSG and The Launching Pad
Well, I had a new website to roll out and wouldn't you know it, the thing crashed and burned. It's a Wordpress site hosted through GoDaddy.com. Not sure what happened. Customer Service was no help.
Anyway, I'll rebuild it today.
I'm asking you to remember me and when I stop by this week to your blog, please reciprocate and come back here. There will be a link to my new site and I would very much appreciate your feedback and input.
Thanks and happy IWSGing!

May 2017 IWSG and Tribute to Melissa Bradley and Sex In Space
Hello all This month's Insecure Writer's Support Group is brought to you by Alex Cavanaugh and his awesome and amazing host of cohorts Nancy Gideon, Tamara Narayan, Liesbet@RoamingAbout, Michelle Wallace, and Feather Stone.
As most if not all of you are aware, we lost one of our blogging founders this week with Melissa Bradley. Melissa was such a large part of our blogging community in the early days. She visited blogs and was a guest hostess countless times. She was an incredible human being who will be sorely missed.
Yet I choose to celebrate Melissa's life and all she contributed to her immediate circle of family and friends and again the blogging community.
Sex In Space Let's face it. Melissa wrote some pretty smutty stuff. But as a guest on my blog she kept to her them yet kept things clean and from a scientific standpoint of view as she understood kids read my blog.
During my Blog Tour for my second book Opening: The Adventures of Chase Manhattan she wrote an amazing guest blog from a purely scientific point of view of sex in space based on peer reviewed scientific articles. It remains to this day one of the best gust posts on my blog.
Unfortunately, Google who acquired Blogger shut down my previous three blogs for so-called spamming so I do not have the link to post which I would like to do. Bad Google. Evil. Google.
Unfortunately, Google who acquired Blogger shut down my previous three blogs for so-called spamming so I do not have the link to post which I would like to do. Bad Google. Evil. Google.

Humans are not the only ones thriving and taking those quantum leap forwards. Super bugs are just as busy, mutating, and finding ways to thwart even our best antibiotics.
Saturday T is for Transplant as in Human Head Transplant

R is for Regeneration of Cells and Tissues #AtoZChallenge
Now we're talking about some real cutting edge stuff. This video is the tip of the iceberg. Now some of this research is controversial such as embryonic stem cell research. But science is discovering multiple ways to regenerate cell and tissue. Here is one truly amazing example:
Question What are your thoughts on cell and tissue regeneration?
Friday S is for Super Bugs.
Sunday, April 16, 2017
N is for Nanomedicine #AtoZChallenge
Hey folks, this is an incredible topic with much promise for breakthrough in the near future. I'm no doctor. Nor do I play on TV. So I'll let my cyber-animated assistant take it from here.
Question Are you buying into any of these soon to be reality scientific breakthroughs that can radically change humans's lives during our lifetime?

I will be making and delivering my very first wedding cake this Saturday and fortunately it's for a friend. I wanted to find out if I should be in contact with someone at the wedding location. If so, what kind of things should I find out? Is it my responsibility or the brides to ensure the table for the cake will be available. I won't have to worry about florist this time, but for future reference, how would communication work with them?
Thanks in advance!
I think it is important to be in contact with someone from the venue.
I always phone the venue myself about 2 weeks before the wedding or event.
Some things I ask are...
1) Will the cake table be draped and ready when I deliver the cake.
2) What time will the room be set up and ready for delivery.
3) Do they need anything from me i.e. proof of business license/insurance.
It's always good to have a contact name at the venue, so when you arrive if there are any problems you can ask for this person by name.
Good luck with your first wedding cake!
I tell them what time I'm planning on delivering (usually one hour prior to start time), ".....does that work ok with your schedule?" If they need it earlier or later, fine, we work that out.
I ask if there is any specific door I need to enter thru. (One venue has a vendor entrance, complete with lots of carts and rolling shelves that we are free to use to get our cakes, flowers, etc., in. I LUV delivering to this venue!)
I ask if they need a copy of my license or a cert of liab ins, and if they need the insurance certificate, I find out how they need it made out and where to fax/email it (so my agent can handle that).
If there is a fountain with the cake (yes, I DO do fountain cakes), I make sure the table is near an outlet.
I close the conversation with 'Is there anything else you need from me?"
Wow I wouldn't have thought of these questions. Thank you so much!

While we were in the "North Country" for a family reunion, I had the opportunity to visit the town where my maternal grandparents lived.
Growing up, we spent the summers in the Adirondack mountains. It's a slower paced way of life and one I have fond memories of.
My grandmother worked as a librarian at the public library pictured above. She introduced me to a variety of authors including Phyllis Whitney. I think that was the beginning of my love affair with mystery novels.
Just down from the library is a boat marina that once belonged to my great-grandfather and his brother.
That was long before my time, but it was in my grandfather's blood; the marina, the dock, the lake. His love ran deep for all things related to the lake. That love rubbed off on all of us and seeing the lake for the first time after so many years brought strong emotion and tears to my eyes.
This is the view from what once was my grandparents property. The house and grounds no longer look the same, but the view from the birch tree on remains unchanged. Those are the blue mountains of Vermont across the lake.
There used to be stairs to the right of the birch tree that took you down to a pebbly beach. Below is an old photo of the beach. The foundation used to be a boat house.
Looking back, I think I took those times for granted. I wish I had revered them more. Time with my grandparents and the opportunity we had to spend our summers on the lake.
Here is an old photo of me with my grandparents (circa 1985 - or there about).
"If you're lucky enough to still have grandparents, visit them, cherish them and celebrate them while you can."
Regina Brett
Thanks for taking a stroll with me down memory lane.
Until next time,

Tesla has announced that cars bought post-January 1, 2017 will not get the free unlimited Supercharging, instead, they will be charged a certain fee to use the Supercharger Network.
This comes close to Tesla previously announcing that its mass-market Model 3 will not come with the use of free unlimited Supercharging credit.
However, Tesla said that any cars bought after January 1, 2016 will get 400kwh worth of free Supercharging credit every year. This amounts approximately to 1,600kms of free travel.
Post the 400kwh is used up, Tesla said they will charge a small fee to Supercharge which will be charged incrementally and will cost less than petrol cars.
The company though has not confirmed how much the "fee" will be as it could fluctuate and vary regionally based on thecost of electricity.
The reason behind the move to charge for the Supercharger is not about turning them into profit but to invest the money in increasing the Supercharger Network as they look towards the launch of the Model 3.
As for those owners who bought their Tesla before the assigned date and take delivery before April in 2017 can enjoy the unlimited free Supercharging in the 4,600 Superchargers.

The clash of the Titans has just begin. Salman Khan is known to release his films on Eid, a norm for him since a couple of years ago. And so he had planned his film 'Sultan' to be a potential Eid 2016 release. However news is that he is likely to face some stiff competition from the other Khan- Shah Rukh Khan who is also eying the same release slot for 'Raees'.
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the shooting of 'Raees' will start by the end of this month. However the Salman starrer 'Sultan' seems uncertain as to when it will hit the floors. The film is said to be in its early stage of pre-production and the cast is yet to be finalised. It is to be seen as to how the unit plans to cover up the lost time if they look forward to the festive slot. At the moment, Salman is shooting for 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo' both of which are slated to release this year. The last time these two big stars clashed was in the year 2006 with Shah Rukh's 'Don' and Salman's 'Jaaneman'.
This time it would be quite interesting to see who bows down first and who manages to get away with the conveted slot.
