Pop Art's heyday might have been the sixties when Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Mel Ramos and co made colourful hay while the vibrant sun shone, but the iconic art movement didn't expire on December 31 1969.
Throughout the seventies and into the eighties, the likes of Warhol, Keith Haring and Tom Wesselman all continued their playful explorations into surface and depth.
A new exhibition – Sold Out: American Pop Art From The 1970's And 1980's - at London's Olyvia Fine Art gallery celebrates the work created during this time. And being generous sorts, we've bagged a few images for you. Now get yourself down to the exhibition, pronto.
Sold Out: American Pop Art From The 1970's And 1980's runs until 20 November at Olyvia Fine Art.

I have several new systems that I have to deploy soon. Now for some time I have noticed that most of the new systems I have done have both the DVI and VGA ports on the monitors and the PCs. Out of time constraints I have always used the VGA connection.
Would there be any advantage in using the DVI connection?
10 Replies
Aug 3, 2010 at 2:28 UTC
DVI is digital, so it has a crisper, clearer picture. You can also get higher resolutions with DVI compared to VGA (even with the same monitor, sometimes!).
We always use DVI when available.
Aug 3, 2010 at 2:30 UTC
DVI should provide you with a better image and better response time from the device. That being said, at most standard resolutions and on most monitors you won't probably notice. If both ends of your devices support DVI I'd start switching to it because I anticipate VGA going the way of the dinosaur.
Aug 3, 2010 at 2:31 UTC
Yah, not sure what you mean by time constraints. Lot of old VGA cables lying around but not DVI?
There were a couple flavors of DVI port so check what you have, just in case, before you buy a stack of cables. It's usually worth it - especially if you have users that spend long periods staring at small text, DVI will usually mean less eyestrain over time.

These being new systems, and hopefully matching monitors, but he should be alright, assuming DVI-I.

You cant really compare VGA-DVI as DVI is far superiour for image quality. DVI vs HDMI now there is a comparson as they are pretty much identical for image quality the only REAL difference with HDMI is it carries digital audio signals aswell. Thus I ALWAYS choose DVI over VGA and agree VGA will be redundant soon.
Aug 4, 2010 at 5:17 UTC
for any monitor with resolution over 1280x1024 or 1400x900 always
use DVI, otherwise your will find a image low in contrast and with fuzzy text
Some new notebooks and desktops don't even have D-sub connectors anymore.
Aug 4, 2010 at 8:14 UTC
I've uused VGA and DVI to provide 1920x1080 output, and don't notice a real difference. I'm a geek though, and not in tune with subtelties such as the differences between the standard RGB gamus versus the full Adobe color gamut.
Technically the difference is that the VGA signal is analog and SVI's a digital standard. Your computer's video card converts (I think using a RAMDAC) the natively digital signal to analog VGA output. Your monitor does the reverse, assuming you're using a non-CRT display.
It makes more sense to use DVI, since it uses less hardware. I've never had to configure a video card to use the DVI versus VGA, the config time's the same. However, I wouldn't pay $15 for a DVI cable over it, or throw out a video card just because it didn't have DVI... a graphics professional might notice more of a difference though.
Aug 4, 2010 at 8:54 UTC
I have 2 identical monitors running one with the video pushed through VGA and the other through DVI.
You can read either screen, but the DVI screen is a bit crisper then the VGA. Also when I compare the 2 the VGA screen hurts my eyes a little because things are not as crisp. But that said if you only have one screen you could use either DVI or VGA and feel like everything was good.
Bottom line: with the option to choose I would definitely choose to run DVI over VGA.
Aug 4, 2010 at 9:10 UTC
Thanks everyone, I am convinced and will start using the DVI port. I may even go back to all the other systems I have installed in the past two years and convert them as well.
Note: I was smart enough to save all my DVI cables.
Aug 4, 2010 at 9:40 UTC
The only thing I have to say is that for most users, VGA is adequate. At the place I worked previously, the developers used monitors connected with DVI while the other users pretty much used VGA. However, if the monitors are equipped with DVI and you have the cables, I would use it.

|Please expand this article into a full one. More details can be found, and this request can be discussed, on the associated discussion page.
Relics of Light (Accessory of Light, Accessory of Light?) was a phased ladder Challenge Event in Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Players followed the Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy as he fought all bosses in his home Realm to earn a number of accessory items, plus his Memory Crystals. It was the first event of its kind, introducing itself in smaller progressive increments rather than all at once, as most Challenge Events had done. In the global release, this event ran from March 9 to March 19, 2016 (UTC) and rolled its way to completion by March 12, 2016 (UTC).
- This was the first event to be formatted as a "boss rush", i.e. a series of battles in which only bosses are fought. In other types of games, the boss rush is commonly used as demonstration material and is sometimes considered a form of speed-running.

WWF develops a new technology to stop poachers in their tracks
WWF's new thermal infrared camera imaging and human detection software leads to dozens of arrests of wildlife criminals in Africa.
A long, dusty road runs along the border of a national park in central Kenya, with a heavily populated town on one side of an electric fence and protected lands on the other. A troop of baboons pays no mind to this dividing line, scooting back and forth to eat garden vegetables and frolic. This large park is a breeding ground for endangered white and black rhinos and home to a host of other threatened species. But with its many porous entries, the protected area attracts poachers who enter the park and kill wildlife for their parts.
To help prevent this illegal activity, WWF used a grant from Google.org to engineer a remarkable new thermal and infrared camera and software system that can identify poachers from afar and alert park rangers of their presence.
This is the first time that infrared cameras and human recognition software have been used to monitor a park's boundary for conservation and anti-poaching efforts.
How it works
WWF designed and installed two systems to identify poachers with infrared cameras: stationary poles lining the border of a park, and a mobile unit atop a truck used by rangers.
The thermal cameras come from the company FLIR and pick up heat emitted by people and animals as they cross their viewpoint. The accompanying software determines whether that heat comes from a human. If a human is identified, the computer sends an alert to the head warden, who then deploys a quick response ranger unit to intercept the intruder. Eric Becker, WWF's conservation engineer, developed the system from concept to reality.
"We know this will be a groundbreaking solution to stop poaching and keep rhinos and other wildlife safe," said Colby Loucks, WWF's director of the Wildlife Crime Technology Project. "This system will peel back the layer of night to assist the brave rangers protect wildlife and help keep them safe."
WWF worked with the Kenya Wildlife Service to design and install the stationary solar-powered system to permanently keep watch on nearly five miles of border road. We mounted the mobile version in another park—Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve working with the Mara Conservancy—where it compliments existing anti-poaching operations, including ranger foot patrols and a sniffer dog team.
Update from the Massai Mara Field Trials
Three ghostly figures march at a steady pace from left to right across a grainy screen—a small caravan of poachers on the hunt for wildlife in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Africa. The footage shows them moving confidently under the cover of night; the protected area encompasses more than 500 square miles, making the chances of bumping into a ranger on patrol slim at best.
Soon, a truck swerves into the frame and the figures drop to the ground. The vehicle zooms past their hiding spot, then circles back and stops several paces away. Rangers jump out and apprehend the poachers. It's as though they can see in the dark.
And, in a way, they can.
WWF installed a new thermal infrared camera that can identify poachers from afar by their body heat—even in the dead of night—and it has since transformed the way rangers track down and apprehend criminals since its introduction in March. Streaming video helps guide rangers through the darkness. And nine months after putting the technology to use, rangers have arrested more than two dozen poachers in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, and apprehended two poachers via the camera system coupled with human detection software at another undisclosed national park in Kenya.
"Poachers can no longer use the cover of night to run and hide," said Colby Loucks, WWF's Wildlife Crime Technology Project lead. "Their days of evading arrest are over. This groundbreaking technology allows them to search for poachers 24 hours a day, from up to a mile away, in pitch darkness. It's upping the game in our fight to stop wildlife crime across the region."
The camera can scan a one-mile radius and creates a live streaming video on a screen based solely on heat. Living creatures, such as people and animals, appear in a shock of white, while cooler objects, such as grasses or trees, show up in shades of gray. A ranger manning the camera can quickly communicate to his or her colleagues when an unauthorized person pans into view and guide them to the location. It's a surefire way for them to sneak up on and apprehend poachers.
"The ability of our rangers to distinguish potential poachers from a large distance is nothing short of remarkable," said Brian Heath, CEO and director of the Mara Conservancy, an organization that helps with conservation efforts in the northwestern sector of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. "The last three people our team arrested were flabbergasted as to how they were detected. Normally they simply sneak away when an ambush is sprung and avoid detection. Now, their heat signatures are picked up by the thermal camera. We're catching them."
This is one of the first uses for forward-looking infrared (FLIR) technology outside of the military and law enforcement. WWF's Wildlife Crime Technology Project is implementing this work with a $5 million grant from Google.org supporting innovative technology to combat wildlife crime.
What next?
WWF is working with FLIR Systems Inc., as part of a new collaboration to broaden the use of thermal imaging, and African Parks, UDS and Lindbergh Foundation's Air Shepherd to install similar thermal imaging technology in drones. Anti-poaching drone test flights began in Zimbabwe and Malawi in October of this year.
If these pilot projects prove successful in Kenya, WWF plans to work with parks and private landowners across Africa to gain access to the thermal imaging technology. By developing and harnessing new technology, we can boost the effectiveness of rangers on the front lines in the battle against wildlife crime, and help ensure porous park borders become more secure.

Interpreter killed, U.S. soldiers wounded in Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) -- The U.S. military says an interpreter was killed and American soldiers were wounded in an attack on a police station in northern Iraq.
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Dave Doherty did not say how many U.S. soldiers were wounded in Tuesday's attack. The statement says a second interpreter was also wounded.
Doherty's statement says the attack occurred in Ninevah province, which includes the city of Mosul. He gave no more details, saying the investigation is ongoing to determine the cause and nature of the attack.
It's the third attack against American forces in two weeks in northern Iraq. Mosul is considered one of the last strongholds of Sunni insurgents.

Hi All (introduction and a quick question)
Im steve from north wales. jut developed a bit of a Nerf adiction with the christmas sales. Picked up a stryfe, Retaliator, flipfury in argo's sale and got a hyperfire for chrstmas as well. (plus a tri-strike and ecs-10 in tesco clearance)
I purchased some 12 dart mags in ebay that just arrived today turned out to be garbage. (ok i will make them work as 11 dart after i file them down a bit thanks to a thread on here)
Have any of you tried the 18 Clear magazones that are up on ebay are they made any better?
link to the listing
Hi there and welcome.
Actually just spotted these last night, would be interested to hear too.
All the knock off mags are similar quality.
Heres how to fix the 12's
they still only hold 11 unless you cut down the followers. The clear knock offs should fit better but if they don't then just do the same mod to the mag release slot as the 12's. They have no rubber corners and feeding isn't always as slick as the Nerf ones.
I'll give them a try see how they are. Worth a punt.
Thanks for the video. Just need to pop n get a small file tomorrow.
You can use a nail board, sandpaper glued to scrap plastic or a nail file, the plastic is soft enough. Needle file is a useful nerfing tool though.
a nail file did the trick perfectly. got them working in both my styfe and relaiator ok. Will have to test them in the others tonight.
Will have to see if the 18 dart ones will need the same modification when they arrive
Welcome to the forum
Just recieved my mags. only got a strafe in the car to test with but fits fine with no filing needed. I recived two mags. one is absolutly perfect. The other the spring was not bent quite right so kept getting stuck. Just opened it up and a quick squeeze with a pair of nedlenose and it is working fine. They do Hold 18 darts perfectly.
Thanks for giving those a go, I had my eye on those as well. Will probably pick up a couple of the clear 18s instead of smaller banana ones since they're decent.
I have had some issue with knock off mags with slow feeding (for flywheels) and horrible misfeeding jams (in springers) and although you can fix it, and it sounds like you have. I have personally found it is 'Nerf or nothin' when it comes to mag reliability and hardiness.
If you keep an eye out on gumtree, ebay, sphock (or visit the odd car boot sale) you can often find original Nerf mags going cheap as part of a bundle of other stuff, especially for local collection.
It can take a while but you can get a good collection of good mags and resell the bits you don't need.
I find the Rapid strike 18 clear Nerf mags are the best personally and have finally collected 4 of them, despite dropping them accidentally many times they are also very tough!

Santa Barbara Marine Outdoor Classroom Field Trip
"Connecting Kids To The Ocean" Field Trip
The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum
& Outdoor Classroom or Kayak Tour
Across America today, children's health, development, learning, and well-being have been seriously compromised by decades of changes that have dramatically altered their childhood. Key among these changes has been a significantly reduced amount of time spent outdoors, which is linked to a number of detrimental trends. The Marine Outdoor Classroom was created to help introduce kids to the ocean, and all it has to offer. The ocean can be many things to many people. Our education based outdoor classroom is designed to educate kids on the many uses of the ocean and how we can better protect it.
The source of our curriculum is from the NOAA Marine Debris Program and their partners. Everyone has a role to play in raising awareness about the problem of cleaner oceans. This is a great way to educate today's students while they enjoy the wonders of the Pacific Ocean as they paddle through the Santa Barbara Harbor!
Maritime Museum
Our hands on interactive day will start with an hour of discovery at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Students will go from station to station and experience going through the kelp bed, raising the sail on a boat, and sorting trash.
Students will choose a fish: Garibaldi, Sargo, Rock-fish or Yellow-tail. They will receive a flash-card telling them about their fish and instructing them to release it back into the kelp forest when they are done learning about it. This exposes them to the catch-and-release fishing technique, teaching them to keep the ocean full.
The next station is an interactive trash game where students learn about pollution and how to keep the ocean clean. Due to powerful ocean currents there are giant mounds of trash in the middle of the ocean, some as big as the state of Texas. Students will pull flash cards out of the trash. The cards represent plastic bags, newspapers, bananas and other items, telling the students how long it takes for each item to decompose. We teach them to put it in the trash to keep the ocean safe, clean and healthy.
In another section of the Museum there is a wooden fishing vessel for commercial fishing. Students will learn fishing techniques as well as how to raise and lower sails.
The "Deep Water Commercial Diving" exhibit is an interactive must! Students experience scuba-diving by putting on a diving helmet built for the museum by the world-famous diving helmet-maker Bob Kirby, based on the film "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
Finally a new temporary exhibit, "Tattoos and Scrimshaw: The Art of a Sailor'" explains the importance of tattoos to sailors. The exhibit will feature a temporary tattoo machine for the students to use.
Santa Barbara Harbor Kayak Tour (students 8 yrs old & over)
This fun and easy Kayak Excursion is designed for 8 year old's and over. The tour begins with a briefing on kayak safety and effective kayaking techniques. We will start from the Santa Barbara Harbor's boat launch and lead your group out to the one mile buoy just past the harbor and Stern's Wharf. During the tour your students may be greeted by the locals: dolphins, California sea lions and seals.
Outdoor Marine Classroom (students 2 – 7 years old)
Our Marine Outdoor Classroom will be conducted on the beach. Students will participate in a natural environment. This hands-on learning experience is safe and fun. Students will learn what belongs on the beach and what does not. They will participate in a beach scavenger hunt. They will search for interesting "natural" items. They will sort the items choosing the most interesting. The instructor will explain each item. Items we see the most are kelp, shark eggs, sand crab claws, shells and driftwood. At the conclusion of the class we instruct the students to replace all the items on the beach as close to where they found them as they can. This teaches them the importance of keeping our beaches as natural and untouched as possible. Just remember the shell you might take home with you could be the next home for a crab to live in. How would you feel if when you got home from school someone had moved your home? Crabs are people too. Well not quite.....
Lunch can be scheduled after the museum visit before the Kayak Tour or the Outdoor Marine Classroom. Lunch is not included in the price of the tour. We suggest you bring sack lunches for the students, teachers, student teachers & parents.
Please call Captain Jack's Tours at 805 564-1819 for available dates and times.
Maritime Museum with Harbor Kayak Tour $30.00 per student, teacher, student teacher & parent.
Maritime Museum with Outdoor Marine Classroom $25.00 per student. Teacher, student teacher & Parent.
Number 1 Goal: SAFETY FIRST!
Your precious cargo is safe with Captain Jack's Tours. We have a perfect safety record. We have provided injury free tours for over 10 years. Thousands of Mom's, Dad's, Brothers, Sisters and Students have trusted Captain Jack's Tours to provide informative, fun, and safe kayak tours.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Tailored Interactive Multimedia to Reduce Colorectal Cancer Screening Disparities
- Background: Interactive multimedia computer programs (IMCPs) show promise as a way of
delivering personally tailored (PT) information to enhance cognitive mediators of
health behavior and improve patient outcomes. However, it is unclear whether PT IMCPs
can be deployed in primary care offices to increase cancer screening uptake and
eliminate ethnic disparities in uptake by providing PT information in each user's
preferred language.
- Aims/Hypotheses: We will compare changes in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening cognitive
mediators (self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and readiness) and uptake resulting from
an IMCP - PT to enhance the key cognitive mediators and targeted to patients'
self-identified ethnicity - with changes resulting from a non-tailored "electronic
leaflet" control IMCP. The experimental and control IMCPs will each be offered in
English and Spanish versions. We hypothesize that, compared with the appropriate
control condition (English, Spanish, or both combined): (1) the English version of the
PT IMCP will enhance the cognitive mediators of CRC screening behavior for
English-speaking Hispanics and non-Hispanics; (2) there will be similarly favorable
changes in these mediators for Hispanics using the Spanish version of the PT IMCP; (3)
deployment of the PT IMCP will provide evidence of elimination of disparities in CRC
screening between Hispanic and non-Hispanic subjects via its relative impact on the
cognitive mediators in these groups; and (4) the PT IMCP (English and Spanish combined)
will increase CRC screening uptake in Hispanics and non-Hispanics (considered
separately) via changes in the cognitive mediators.
- Methods: Randomized controlled trial of 2 groups, comparing a PT (to the cognitive
mediators) CRC screening IMCP offered in both English and Spanish versions and deployed
before a primary care office visit with a non-tailored "electronic leaflet" CRC
screening IMCP (control) also offered in both English and Spanish. Screening methods
targeted will be fecal occult blood testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy.
Primary outcomes will be CRC screening uptake, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and
- Implications: Our findings will determine whether an IMCP that is PT to cognitive
mediators of screening behavior and deployed in primary care offices prior to
previously scheduled visits can activate patients of various ethnicities to undergo CRC
screening. They may also suggest a promising, portable method of reducing disparities
in CRC (and other) screening uptake between Hispanic and non-Hispanic individuals.

We changed a lot of our computers at work 1 to 2 months ago. We got rid of Windows XP boxes and replaced them with Windows 7 boxes. The new Windows 7 boxes got the IPs of the boxes they were replacing and a "new" added to the name. The issue is, I don't see a lot of these "new" boxes in active directory. As a result, they are not seen in WSUS either so are not receiving updates. If I try to manually add one of the "new" boxes, I'm informed that I cannot add it because it is already in use. On the other hand, a lot of the machines are correctly updated with their "new" qualifier in AD and are receiving updates. The machines not showing were the last ones done. Is there just a massive delay for Active Directory to update computer names? Is it looking to the DNS for the computer names? I have Dynamic DNS active, but it seems very slow to register new names with IPs.
I'm not a pro at Active Directory; any help is appreciated, thanks. We use Windows Server 2003 R2 and have 5 domain controllers for 5 locations.
Jul 5, 2012 at 11:50 UTC
I agree with Jeff9151. If the addresses are static, delete the old DNS entries and delete the DCHP entries for the old computers if that was how they were set. Make sure there isn't redundant entries of the same name, etc in your server. But yes, just as rebooting usually solves problems, try removing and readding to the domain. We recently implemented a new server here and we had to re-add all the machines to the domain even though it was the same name. Just try those things first and see if it solves it. Keep us informed.

Try popping the individual machine off the domain, rejoin to a workgroup, then readd them back. Make sure that the object is indeed deleted.
I would also delete the old object, just in case someone forgot to put the -new in the name, which would also cause this kind of problem.
Jul 5, 2012 at 10:27 UTC
Have you looked for the computer objects on all of your domain controllers? In ADUC you should be able to right click on your domain, and select "Change Domain Controller" - check each of them for the computer objects. There could be a replication problem.
Jul 5, 2012 at 11:25 UTC
I'm with PSX_Defector on rejoining to the domain.
You said you kept the same IP addresses? Don't you run DHCP, the newly named machines should have picked up new IP addresses, not the same unless it was an inplace upgrade. If you static set them, then the DNS server may be barking about the names and you could check that. Replication can also be an issue as mentioned by Grit.

Ok, this was due to my own lack of knowledge of AD which I'll slowly remedy.
We do keep the IPs the same and do not use DHCP. The DNS looks like it is, indeed, complaining. It looks like the new PCs are just in a general "computers" grouping and therefore did not have all the Group Policies applied to them that relate to our different locations (including WSUS updates). For the new machines that were correctly in their groups, somebody else must have done this at some point and didn't let me know. I'm cleaning up the AD now and it looks like things are falling into place.
Thanks for suggestions, guys.
Jul 5, 2012 at 12:05 UTC
Great! I suggest switching to DHCP. It does more than provide addresses, it allows you to assign DNS servers, WINS servers, and other stuff. It is a lot simpler to make a change on the DHCP server when a DNS server changes than walk around to 50, 100, 1000 PCs and make the changes.
Jul 5, 2012 at 12:20 UTC
The issue with this is that we have different tiers of access allowed to the internet and the Sonicwall defines it by IP address. We previously did have DHCP unknowingly on and an auditor got assigned the same address as one of our servers(that was statically assigned) and knocked it offline. In light of the auditors practically living here (we're a financial institution), we decided to turn off DHCP.
But let's say I did use DHCP, will shared drives on the servers work for my users? Is it possible to point to a drive by name and have the IP/mapped drives dynamically update? I'm new to the department and have learned a lot, but there's a lot to go!
Jul 5, 2012 at 12:26 UTC
How is your active directory laid out?? Please tell me it's not just a long list of users but that you have groups. Using this and GPO you can assign permissions. Also, with DHCP, you can create different scopes and use that for different permissions (I believe). Try using different ranges for the different users and that should make administration a heck of a lot easier.
Jul 5, 2012 at 12:27 UTC
Oh, and we are a financial institution too so we know all about FINRA and the email archiving and all the BS you have to go through (I assume...). If you need any help, feel free to message me.
Jul 5, 2012 at 12:48 UTC
Servers are a different kettle of fish. Those should be static, or at least have DHCP reservations so they always have the same IP address. Also put reservations on your network printers so they don't change. The advantage of reservations is that allows you to do the management, like changing a DNS or WINS server setting, but still allows the IP to remain unchanged. I would also do like AJ said and have seperate scopes for Servers vs Workstations. We even segment printers from both.
When I worked at Human Services (They get audited a ton) we would throw up a vLAN that pointed them right out the front door, in other words no access to our network at all (used DHCP on the router for them).
Jul 5, 2012 at 1:33 UTC
No, AJ, we use Group Policy, etc. It's not a long list of users. Our network is a messy beast and I'm trying my best to solve as many problems as I can after coming into the department 3 months back(like implementing Spiceworks for a ticket support system). And yes, there's tons of BS to deal with with the regulations.
Unfortunately, we don't have access to our routers. Our core processor controls them and doesn't allow us access.
All 5 branches are behind one firewall. Every branch comes back to the main branch through an MPLS cloud for internet traffic and then out a T1 line. The only device I can assign IPs through is the Sonicwall firewall.
I've attempted to limit the auditor bandwidth usage via the Sonicwall, but it ignores my settings...regardless, they are not on our domain and only have internet access.
What are you guys using and how do you have it set up to reserve IP ranges for your servers and printers? How would you make sure that certain people fall within a certain tier of access?
Jul 5, 2012 at 1:42 UTC
We are right there with ya. My supervisor came on 8 months ago and I've only been here for about 4 months and only 2 as an actual employee (was an intern before). Anyway, you said earlier you do not use DHCP. Do you mean at all or just on certain machines? If you have DHCP on a server enabled and DHCP enabled on the routers, you will have issues. I would use the routers as access points and use your server as the actual server.
As far as setting up reserves, for example, use .100-.200 for workstations, .2-.50 for essential devices (servers, switches, routers, firewalls, etc), and say .201-.254 for printers, etc. Just a suggestion. But again, is EVERYTHING static or are some things static and others dynamic??
Jul 5, 2012 at 1:48 UTC
Everything is static. There's about 85 PCs and 10 servers.
Jul 5, 2012 at 2:01 UTC
If everything is static, reservations are for DHCP. The only thing to do would be to determine ranges and go around and manually redo ip addresses. I would leave the servers alone (for obvious reasons) just so things don't get screwed up. Anyway, that is the advantage of DHCP over static. More centralized management because you can always do reservations and basically make it static. I would see about trying to get that implemented. That would make your life a LOT easier.
Jul 5, 2012 at 2:01 UTC
I'd have to find out from our Core processor if the routers actually have DHCP turned on. They're a bit ornery answering any questions regarding the network, though. We hope to be implementing broadband at each location with all the branches tied through a VPN in the future. Boost our bandwidth, lower our costs, and take control of our network again.
I am unfamiliar with setting up DHCP through a server as usually I'd have a router designate IPs. I'll do some Googling, but do you have any resources I should look at? I'm a networking graduate, but I don't remember them teaching AD and have since been learning on my own.
Jul 5, 2012 at 2:09 UTC
I am 19. I'm just gonna say that. I have learned everything I know about servers in the past 2-4 months. Setting up a DHCP server couldn't be easier. You go to Server Manager and first install the DNS and DCHP server roles. Then you set up your scopes in DCHP with what scheme and ranges you want. Choose who you want to what range and then after it will list them all in the table. I say table but it is more a list. From there, it's right click, "Add to reservation..." and boom, done. The DNS is easy as well. As far as the routers go, set them to Access Point or Gateway mode and then turn off DCHP. They will want to have a DHCP server set when you do this and you simply type in the IP of your DCHP server and turn off DNS and do the same for this as well. If you want any help, I'll let you do a meeting with me over Teamviewer and I'll show you my server and how I set it up. Not my work server but my home server which works as my DNS and DCHP server. It...is...awesome! It makes management and user-friendliness so much easier.
Ex. I set the port for a networked printer on a computer to the DNS entry. If I change the IP of the printer, I don't have to modify the port on every computer (a long and tedious pain). Instead, I simply update the DNS table and BOOM! Everyone is up and running.
PM me if you want more help and I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to help you. Thanks.

Hi Jeremy,
We use Windows Server for the DHCP server, after all it is built in, just have to enable it. AJ has a good idea about segragating things.
The other thing about auditors is they like for you to be able to demonstrate who is logged on to what machine when. I posted a logon script on SpiceWorks community that besides mapping drives and printers also writes an event to the Applications log on the users PC. You may want to use GP Preferences to map drives and printers, I will be changing soon. But you can still use the script to write to the Applications log. Check it out.
I have a seperate logoff script to write to the event log when they log off, which is based on the logon script. Sorry if this got off topic.

All I can say is wow. That is a ridiculously cool script. We just use the NET USE....etc for ours but anyway....I can see why that would be useful.
@Jeremy8356 Do different users constantly use the same computer or is it pretty much 1 user/computer?? Also, how are your profiles set up?? Another advantage of the server is using what is called roaming profiles which basically makes it so whatever computer a person sits at it maps a drive to their folder and they have access to all their files so they aren't residing on a local machine. Also makes for better admin management of data. Again, if you need or want any help, let me know.
Jul 5, 2012 at 3:04 UTC
Hi AJ,
Thanks, it is very useful, but like I mentioned the drives and printers can be set with Group Policy preferences now. So I am probably going to eliminate those parts and just run the event log part.
Jul 5, 2012 at 3:09 UTC
True....still very cool though.

How can I make the Description Field Required when users submit tickets?
and How can I prevent users from Re-Opening their closed help desk tickets?
16 Replies
Mar 3, 2009 at 3:30 UTC
For the first one, install this plugin.
How can I make the Description Field Required when users submit tickets?
and How can I prevent users from Re-Opening their closed help desk tickets?
For the second request, go to Settings > Help Desk Settings > Pro Settings, and set the entry for Maximum age (in days) a closed ticket can be reopened to 0.
Mar 3, 2009 at 3:37 UTC
so for the description field that is already put on the help desk portal there is no way to make that box a required field?
Mar 3, 2009 at 3:40 UTC
Sorry, this one supercedes the one I linked to first. It may be possible to further modify this plugin to make built-in fields mandatory.
Mar 3, 2009 at 3:50 UTC
when i put 0 in for the max days it automatically changes it to 7
Mar 3, 2009 at 4:01 UTC
You are correct. The lowest number you can enter via the interface is 1 at this time. The developers must have changed this at some point to prevent disabling of the feature.
Mar 3, 2009 at 4:05 UTC
ok, so i cant remove the re open button or make the description box required then can i?
Mar 3, 2009 at 4:48 UTC
At the risk of sounding Python-ish, No, I suppose not.
Mar 5, 2009 at 9:17 UTC
What about on the help desk side? I would like to make mandatory the setting of a category or due date.
Can this be done?
Mar 5, 2009 at 11:23 UTC
Yes, there is a plug-in available that allows you to set fields as mandatory.
Mar 5, 2009 at 11:51 UTC
This is for the user portal. I need it for the actual help desk application.
Mar 5, 2009 at 1:30 UTC
You should be able to modify the code to allow it to affect the Help Desk portal from the internal side, as opposed to the end user portal.
My thought is modifying the code in bold may be what is needed.
setupPage: function(config){
this.config = config;
// capture the form submit event as opposed to the button click event so we can capture keyboard submits
$('new_ticket_form').observe('submit', this.checkRequiredFields.bindAsEventListener(this));
That, or it needs to point to proper portal - the Help Desk, not the User Portal.
Although I tested the Help Desk Portal, and the Required fields I had designated kept me from submitting the ticket until they contained information.
From the SW console, just going to Help Desk and using the New Ticket button did not apply the mandatory field to anything other than the Summary.
Perhaps this will help someone guide the direction this thread is going.
Also, due to the nature of the thread, I am moving to an appropriate forum location.
Mar 5, 2009 at 1:42 UTC
I feel a bit lost here.
Its been a long time since I have done programing...
I need to restrict the actual ticket page. the one our techs use.
I cant seem to find what to replace the bold part with.
Mar 5, 2009 at 1:47 UTC
You are not alone there. I've forgotten more about programming than I know now.
But I will plug away at it to see if I can figure out what needs modifying.
If I do, I will post a new plugin with the mods.
If anyone else wants to assist with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Images emerge of downed Russian pilots
Images have emerged of a Russian fighter pilot who died after his jet was shot down over the Turkey/Syria border on Monday.
The body of the downed pilot is displayed by armed locals in Syria's Turkomen Mountains today.
(Pics: Abaca / Barcroft Media )
According to the reports, the Russian defence ministry said the plane was on a bombing mission in Syria and crashed after it came under artillery attack from the ground.
Moscow insists the Su-24 jet did not violate the Turkish airspace, but Turkey says it warned the aircraft several times before shooting it down.
(Pics: Abaca / Barcroft Media )
The second pilot from a Russian warplane that was shot down by Turkish jets near the Syrian border has been rescued, President Vladimir Putin has said.
Mr Putin was speaking in televised comments after defence minister Sergei Shoigu told Russian news agencies that the man was rescued in a 12-hour operation and is "safe and sound" at Russia's air base in the government-controlled area of Syria.
Moscow's ambassador to France Alexander Orlov said earlier that one of the two pilots was wounded, then killed on the ground by "jihadists" after landing with his parachute.
Mr Orlov told Europe-1 radio the other pilot "managed to escape and be rescued by the Syrian army".
Footage of the jet being shot down
The Russian ambassador denied Turkish government statements that the Russian plane was warned repeatedly about an air space violation before it was brought down.
He accused Nato member Turkey of being an "accomplice" of Islamic State extremists and playing an ambiguous role in Syria's civil war.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his country does not wish to escalate tensions with Russia over the incident.
Speaking at an Organisation of Islamic Co-operation economy meeting in Istanbul, Mr Erdogan said Turkey favours "peace, dialogue and diplomacy".
But he defended his country's move to shoot down the plane, saying "no one should expect Turkey to stay silent to border violations or the violation of its rights".
The surviving pilot is at an air base in Latakia province after being rescued by a Syrian army commando unit, officials said.
A statement from the Syrian armed forces said a special unit carried

American football and a lack of the metric system because THIS IS 'MERICA! Seriously though, England wouldn't last ten seconds in a game of American football with Germany. Actually, I think America (and possibly Russia) would be the only other nations who could take him.
| hyuugahealer3 chapter 1 . 1/1/2013
Okay so I feel like I have to say something about the soccer thing not that we're not the only ones but just some fun trivia about it because I feel like having fun trivia times.
I really do love this story and I know where your annoyance is coming from buy here have some trivia:
I do find it amusing that we call it that because as one of like...six countries that do only we have little to no excuse. (Most of the other countries picked it up from us). My favourite thing though is that the British get annoyed at us calling it soccer when the reason we even have that word is because of them.
Actually fun fact: Soccer is derived from the Chinese name for the sport but even they gave up with that and just went to calling it football. This is why Italians call it soccer (Marco Polo). Other countries (ie: Japan) just got the name from us.
Over all it's a great story and I enjoyed it.

Gold, Silver and Miners in Stage 1 Accumulation Mode By
The Gold and Oil Guy
We don't hear much about gold and silver anymore on the news. This time last year you could not go 5 minutes without a TV or radio station talking about them. Why is this? Simple really, precious metals have been building a Stage 1 Basing Pattern for the last 12 months. This boring sideways trading range is how the market gets most of those long holders out of an investment before it starts another move up. The saying is "If the market doesn't shake you out, it will wait you out".
We all know time is money so the above statement makes a lot of sense doesn't it? Instead of having your money sitting in an investment that has clearly displayed a large sideways range with month and possibly years before any significant breakout will occur, why would you want their money in it doing nothing? There are other opportunities which you could be putting your money into that could generate more gains until the precious metals sector sets up with a high probability trading pattern.
The good news is that gold, silver and precious metal miner stocks are forming a very large Stage 1 Accumulation pattern on the weekly chart. This points to a multi month rally in prices if they breakout above our resistance levels.
Gold & Gold Miner Stocks Weekly Analysis:
The chart below shows a lot of analysis and to the untrained eye this may look messy and confusing, so take your time to review it. In short, what I am showing are sideways price patterns using the previous highs and lows for support and resistance levels. The analysis shows the shift in prices from bearish (down), to Neutral (sideways). The exciting part about this pattern is that a new bull market should emerge if my analysis is correct. Now, I'm not talking about 5 -10% move here, I'm talking about a multi month and possibly a yearlong rally in precious metals that could allow some individuals to retire early if played properly…
A break above our red dotted resistance lines should trigger aggressive buying in gold miners along with physical gold bullion.
In the past month I have been giving out some of my Stage 1 trading ideas which have generated some decent gains for those who follow along. All but one have generated gains with FSLR 12.5%, FB 12%, RIMM 54%, AAPL 5%, TLT 2.5%, XLU 1.5%, and KOL down -5.2%.
Silver & Silver Miner Stocks Weekly Analysis:
This chart of silver and silver miner stocks (NYSEARCA:SIL), shows a very similar pattern to that of its big shiny sister (Yellow Gold). Silver carries a lot more risk because of its industrial usage. Also this commodity is thinly traded and can move very quickly on a daily basis compared to gold. Because of these quick price movements it has attracted a lot of speculative money which also has increased the volatility. More often than not silver will move 2-3 times more on a percentage bases than that of yellow gold.
Battle of the Miner ETFs Weekly Performance:
This chart compares three precious metals miner ETFS (GDX - Gold Miners, SIL - Silver Miners, NUGT 3x Leveraged Gold Miners).
Silver miners have held up the best because the herd saw how big the move was a year ago and are front running the next potential rally. But, depending on how you read the charts and sentiment it may be pointing to the dormant gold miners for a bigger than expected rally. But debating which one will breakout and run the most is a conversation/debate of its own and even I can argue both sides. The safe play is that even if gold miners (GDX & GDXJ) underperform the silver miners (SIL), the NUGT which is 3x leveraged gold miners should be the same if not outperform silver miners.
Precious Metals & Miners Trading Conclusion:
In short, I favor trading the miners over physical bullion simply because the charts show much more profit potential than if one was to buy the bullion exchange traded funds GLD and SLV.
The market seems to be setting up for some very large moves in 2013 and members of my trading newsletter should do very well.

Redesign of the Central Hong Kong Waterfront
Hong Kong, CHN
Designing Hong Kong
Architects Collective ZT-GmbH
site area
The new waterfront of Hong Kong is at the heart of the developing city and should represent the position of the city as one of the leading metropolises of the world. The outdoor areas are designed to allow for generous open spaces. The proposal proposes a number of strips of cultural and leisure facilities including cafes, restaurants and terraces with freely usable public furniture inviting people to linger. The sand-dune-like landscape forms terraces which are oriented towards the sea and sheltered from the city. The Victoria Harbour Plaza contrasts this formal language as the port, the harbor front and the high-rise zone in the south intersect. The plaza can be used as a festival or market place. The Horizonscraper is an open connection link for the passengers of the ferry. The shopping complex in the north is divided into a commercial as well as a recreation area.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The Pepperdine baseball team capped an already exhilarating NCAA Regional run with a thrilling win on Sunday, scoring four runs in the ninth inning to beat top-seed Cal Poly 10-6. The win advances the Waves to their first-ever NCAA Super Regional since the format was implemented in 1999. It is the first time Pepperdine has advanced past the regional stage since the team won an NCAA Title in 1992.
After holding what looked to be a commanding 5-0 lead early, the Waves (42-16) gave up two runs in the bottom of the eighth to Cal Poly, evening the game at 6-6. Even with the home crowd fired up after the Mustangs' rally, Pepperdine was able to load the bases and Bryan Langlois came through with a game-winning triple to clear them.
The Waves move on to face TCU in the Super Regional, with the two teams playing a best-of-three series for a spot in the College World Series.
"This was an amazing regional," said head coach Steve Rodriguez. "The atmosphere at every game was fantastic and it really made it tough. There is something special about this group though, they know how to keep each other loose and know how to enjoy the moment. I can't say enough about the competitors we had out there."
The Waves jumped on Cal Poly starter Danny Zandona in the second inning, loading the bases with two outs in the inning. Manny Jefferson (Lakewood, Calif./Lakewood HS) helped push across the first run of the game by drawing a walk and then Brandon Caruso (Pasadena, Calif./Loyola HS) followed with a single to centerfield that plated two more. After Pepperdine again loaded the bases, Langlois (Oak Park, Calif./Oak Park HS) got the second big hit of the inning, driving in a pair of runs with a single to left. Langlois' single would chase Zandona and bring in reliever Taylor Chris.
The Mustangs would answer, though, chipping away at the Waves' lead by scoring runs in the next three innings, getting a homer from Jimmy Allen along the way. Pepperdine manufactured a run in the top of the fifth to keep it a four-run game, but the Mustangs answered with an RBI-groundout of their own.
Cal Poly's second homer of the game, a solo-shot by Nick Torres, made it a 6-4 ballgame in the seventh. After Chris worked another scoreless inning for the Mustangs, Cal Poly found its final rally, coming up with two runs to even the game in the eighth and fire up a packed house in Baggett Stadium.
Even with all the momentum favoring the home team, Pepperdine found a way to get on base and set up Langlois' heroics. Jefferson reached first on a slow roller to third and then Caruso followed with a bunt single down the first-base line. Austin Davidson (Oxnard, Calif./Oxnard HS) then faked a bunt and hit a chopper over the head of the Mustang's charging third-baseman to load the bases.
From there Langlois stole the show, scorching a line drive to the wall in right-center to plate all three runner. The three-run triple gave the Waves a 9-6 lead and Langlois a career-high five-RBI day. Brad Anderson (Yorba Linda, Calif./Esperanza HS) capped the scoring with a sacrifice fly to make it 10-6.
"I was really trying to get a changeup because he was really working the changeup hard to right-handed hitters," said Langlois. "I got a bunch of them and I just fouled them straight back and I finally got one up and I was able to drive it. To be able to come through, it was nice."
Chandler Blanchard (Henderson, Nev./Coronado HS) came back out to toss a scoreless ninth, getting a fly-out to left-field to end the game and start the celebration.
Jackson McClelland (Beaumont, Calif./Redlands East Valley HS) got the start and tossed 5.0 innings, giving up seven hits and three runs, while allowing just one walk. A.J. Puckett (Danville, Calif./De La Salle HS) relieved him in the sixth and then handed it over to Blanchard. Puckett worked a scoreless sixth inning, one of just four frames Cal Poly did not score in, before giving up the homer to Torres. He was relieved after giving up two hits to start the eighth, where the Mustangs would end up tying the game.
"I can't say a (negative) word about how hard we competed," said Rodriguez. "In this environment, you just have some amazing athletes competing their butts off."
Caruso's two-RBI and Lanlois five runs driven in were the only multi-RBI days for the Waves. Torres drove in three for the Mustangs. Four Pepperdine players had multi-hit day as the Waves posted 12 base-knocks in the game. Cal Poly had 14 hits, but left nine runners on base. Jimmy Allen was 3-for-5.
Aaron Barnett (Mission Viejo, Calif./Capistrano Valley HS), Hutton Moyer (San Diego, Calif./Cathedral Catholic HS), Aaron Brown (Chatsworth, Calif./Chatsworth HS) and Langlois were all named to the All-Regional team. Brown was named Regional MVP after tossing eighth innings and giving up just one unearned run in the Waves' win yesterday.
The Waves have won six games in a row since starting postseason play. Pepperdine swept through three games at the WCC Tournament to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Regional and then swept through the San Luis Obispo regional. The third-seeded Waves opened with a 3-2 win over second-seed Arizona State, and then battled Cal Poly for a 2-1 win on Saturday to stay in the winner's bracket. The 10-6 victory was the highest scoring game of the regional.

Also, I posted my Firefox issue in another thread:
...I'd have to say it's something either with Firefox or one of its extensions.
AdBlock can be an issue if you've blocked an image and had the URL being blocked as the main URL images on CAG come from.
If restarting without extensions doesn't fix it, a fresh install would also make sense.
Indeed. NoScript can break a lot of stuff too if not used correctly.
I have had Adblock, NoScript, along other addons installed in Firefox as long as I can remember (late 2009, early 2010) and have never had an issue viewing CAG in Firefox until only about a month ago.
I'm having trouble loading CAG on Firefox (on Windows XP with the latest Firefox 4 and also on 5) on my desktop for the past few weeks. Oddly enough it works perfectly fine on my laptop. I've even tried restarting Firefox with no add-ons but it doesn't work. It seems like it gets stuck on "read ssl.gstatic.com" after maybe loading the front page sometimes. I'm having to resort to using Google Chrome.
I'm using I.E. at the moment (shudders). I have also had to use Google Chrome to reply in threads or messages, sometimes even just for CAG to load up.
Problems I am having with Firefox with CAG so far:
1. Page loading issues
2. Replying to messages
3. Cannot edit trade list to remove games
I have removed, disabled several addons but I still have the same issue. I've used Firefox v3.6.18 (I usually avoid the betas), v4.0.1 (using this version at the moment), and used v5 BETA 7 for only 5 minutes, same issues.
I'll will disable my addons, one by one, and post my results.
Update: I started by disabling AdBlock and NoScript and yes, it was a huge difference in page loading and replying to messages. BUT I still have issues loading CAG; sometimes the page gets stuck on 3 links:
1) Read ssl.qstatic.com
2) Connecting to card.mmos.com
3) Transferring data from segment-pixel.invitemedia.com
Editing games in my trade list is still an issue and I have disabled every addon in Firefox. This I need help with. When I place my cursor over the pencil, this is the message I see on the status bar:
Javascript: newTrade (878823, true)

Wow! The new iPhone has some pretty cool technology. The advanced fingerprint censor, for example, connects the device owner to the product in a truly customized fashion. After all, no two fingerprints are alike.
So, too, with a safe investment strategy: You may be playing it too safe, like the football coach who tries to run out the clock by keeping the ball on the ground, only to find that sitting on the lead allows the other team to get back in the game. While everybody needs to develop their own customized investment approach, how do you know if you're playing it too safe? And how do you know by playing it too safe you're not keeping up with inflation?
[More from Manilla.com: A Basic Guide to Investing in Bonds]
It helps to consider answers to these questions:
How much is being kicked off from Social Security and/or pension income?
I have worked with retired teachers who receive enough in these income streams to pay for the basics, like utilities, property taxes, and so on. As such, dependency on these investment funds are not a matter of "do or die" — we can relax and be a little more aggressive.
Have you coordinated and planned spousal benefits?
Married couples need to decide when to begin Social Security payments and plan "what if" scenarios for a spouse's demise and the loss of one income. If one or both spouses have a fixed pension, is there a survivor benefit? How much income will be needed in each scenario? We are investing to provide a stream of income, based on a client's footprint. How much we need to earn is a driver of this strategy. If we determine that a client needs to earn 6 percent, on average, factoring in inflation, we can't just "keep the ball on the ground" and earn 2 percent.
[More from Manilla.com: Mutual Funds: What They Are and How to Pick Them]
Have you mapped out and planned how much income is necessary?
For example, I recently met with a retired doctor with substantial assets who was 65 and retired. She had over more than $1 million in bank accounts that were earning very little interest. We discussed ways to utilize these assets to create a stream of income from age 65 until 75, after which we would tap into her investment portfolio. Having a 10-year time horizon allowed us to take a less cautious investing approach because we had more time on our side in case of the inevitable market setbacks.
[More from Manilla.com: Financial Tracking & Budgeting Tools]
Have you created multiple income streams?
Many clients no longer have traditional pension plans. Perhaps a pension has been replaced by a "cash balance" plan, which means the individual is now responsible for investing and managing funds during retirement that in previous times would have been converted into a guaranteed income stream. As a result, much is now riding on the investment decisions. By utilizing a chunk of these funds and converting them back into an income stream, the actuarial chance of outliving your money can be substantially reduced. An example is a relatively new product called "longevity insurance." For example, a 65-year-old today can invest $50,000 in exchange for a $31,000 lifetime payment beginning at age 85.
Creating an investment plan with appropriate risk levels works best when we can take the fingerprint of a client's financial profile. Are you playing it too safe, and at risk of outliving your assets? It might just pay to take the time to find out!

1997 Radio Wire Short
So, long story short, it's my first time installing a car stereo. It was approaching the evening, so it was dark and I had low visibility (and was in a rush to finish), and while I was connecting the adapter and the compatible wiring harness, I did not properly insulate my wire connections (using electrical tape because I definitely wasn't doing a professional job) and it caused what I imagine could only have been an electrical short. The short caused the radio/cigarette fuse to blow and let off a burnt smell. After replacing the fuse, the cigarette lighter works, but the constant voltage wire (yellow one) isn't receiving any voltage (measured between it and a grounding screw), and I was told to check the wire running from the fuse box to the power connection for a burnt discontinuity (that smell maybe!), and I'm halfway through ripping my dashboard apart to figure out where everything comes from and goes. What I need to know before I get too deep into this:
I checked all of my fuses, driver side and under the hood. Is there anything else that could be an easy fix I should check?
How does the wire from the fuse box get to the radio? Is there a spot under any part of the dash that could be more susceptible to a blown out wire?
I don't know the curcuit configuration from the fuse to the radio, or if the cigarette lighter runs paralell off of it, but which points would be the best to measure continuity from to determine the break location?
I checked all the fuses, including 3 behind the radio embedded in the wires. Again, this is my first time installing a stereo (much less debugging an electrical system), but I don't think I'm stupid (albeit lazy), and detail will go a long way in helping me. Also, my car is a 1997 GT convertible (guess that pretty much only means no dome on the cig/rad circuit). Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
