Minipreps were prepared using 5ml from each overnight culture and incubated with PstI restriction enzyme for analysis by gel electrophoresis. We also prepared the biobrick BBa_K1041000 by cutting with restriction enzyme NdeI and analysing on an agarose gel. The large fragment was cut from the gel to be purified. This process should remove the extra NdeI sites that were introduced to the sequence.

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - After focusing on overseas crowds in recent years to the possible detriment of their fans at home, the Foo Fighters plan to tour "a lot more intensely," in the United States, said the band's bassist Nate Mendel.
The Dave Grohl-fronted group, which recently picked up five Grammy nominations for its latest album, will launch a North American arena tour on January 16 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. The jaunt is scheduled to run through March 30 in Vancouver, B.C.
Stops include Pensacola, Fla. (January 20), Fayetteville, Ark. (January 28), Reno, Nev. (February 1), and Binghamton, N.Y. (February 22).
"We've been concentrating on (playing) overseas for the last couple of records, and in a lot of people's mind's have kind of neglected the U.S., especially some of the smaller cities," Mendel said. "So this time we're going to be touring a lot more intensely in the U.S."
He added the group is "stepping it up" for the trek, which will boast a secondary stage for an acoustic set, mechanical gags and a huge production.
"We did this acoustic tour last year with an eight-piece band, and we're bringing that band along for our regular rock show this time."
The tour is in support of the band's sixth studio album "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace," which has sold 427,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Among its Grammy nominations was album of the year.

Opps...wrong thread!
Actually, I believe the above statement is ebonically incorrect. I believe that the "Ima" is short for "I'm gonna", so the statement would be:
"If Zimmerman walks! Ima (I'm gonna) riot!"
I'm not fluent in ebonics, but I've been watching the way blacks folks use their language on their twitter posts threatening white people, as they are outbreeding everyone else, so someday we'll all be speaking it.

Another story I know the gun control people will jump all over, when it should be the police jumping all over the parents that allowed a loaded weapon to fall into the hands of a 3 year old. Just because you go out and buy a weapon does not mean that you know everything you should know about it. If you have never owned or used a weapon, go out and take one of the many courses available for new gun owners. Anyone that has been around weapons knows there are 3 Absolute Rules;
1) Safety

PM Fund Manager Explains Why Kitco's PM Prices Are NOT Spot Prices

PM fund manager Dave Kranzer joins us this week for a power packed show discussing:
- Netherlands Bombshell: 130 tons of gold secretly repatriated from the NY Fed– Dave explains why this gold nearly had to have come from the GLD
- Silver shortage is BACK!! Silver Eagles & Maples premiums rising as Mints allocate production, major US mints running up to 8 weeks behind on silver production!
- Kranzler explains why the commonly referenced Kitco's gold & silver charts are NOT the true spot price for the metals

Kitco's Jim Wyckoff: Miles Above Nadler, But Still In Denial
Reading this morning's missives from the punditocracy, I couldn't resist pointing out a perfect example of what Gata's Bill Murphy calls market action making market commentary. As gold leaped higher Tuesday, we had Kitco's Jim Wyckoff struggling for justifications, including this gem:
Kitco Glitch/Fat Finger? Silver Spikes to $33.50
While it was likely a fat finger of the data entry variety by an employee of the bankrupt Kitco.com, silver's 24 hour live chart reveals a massive $1.50 spike from $32 to $33.50 just prior to midnight eastern.
Unfortunately for Blythe and her monkeys, the spike failed to trigger a single liquidation algo on physical silver holdings.
With the October FOMC statement due later Wednesday, perhaps a late night caption contest is in order?

This Inn was very nice and clean. We did stay on the 3rd floor, which is difficult with a dog sometimes, but it was so peaceful that our dog slept through the night without needing to be let out. We took a nice long walk in the woods behind the Inn in the evening. There was an issue with the AC, it was a bit moldy and leaky. Also, the breakfast area was very crowded because a baseball team was there, but that was not the management's fault. We were greeted nicely at the beginning and end of the stay. Also, the bathroom was great, very private.

Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was last seen opposite Ajay Devgn in 'Singham Returns' in a full-fledged role, will reportedly be seen doing a special dance number in Karan Johar's 'Brothers'.
'Brothers' is the official remake of 2011 Hollywood film 'Warrior' and is being directed by Karan Malhotra of 'Agneepath' fame. The film releases on July 31, 2015.
Interestingly, Kareena has off late done cameos in films like 'Happy Ending', 'The Shaukeens', 'Rowdy Rathore', 'Dabangg 2' among others. While in 'Rowdy Rathore' she was seen shaking a leg with Akshay Kumar in song Chinta Ta Chita Chita, choreographed by Prabhudheva, in 'Dabangg 2' Bebo grooved with Salman to the song Fevicol Se which was followed by an item song in Akshay Kumar's upcoming film 'Gabbar'.
Co-incidentally, 'Brothers' also stars Akshay Kumar in the lead along with Jacqueline Fernandez; however Bebo will not be dancing with the Khiladi in this one.
Well, it seems, Kareena is enjoying doing cameos more than a film!

Review RateSticky StakesI have plants everywhere so I always keep a supply of these at home and at work. They are the best ever!!
Review RateThey stick like nothing else!I've been using these for about a month and have had great results. These sticky tabs catch EVERYTHING! I've caught a spider and a few files in addition to gnats. I used to be swatting them from my face when I read on my tablet in bed at night. Now there are maybe 2 a week. The tabs are easy to use and easy to dispose of. I've already ordered more for my kitchen plants and the ones at my office.
Review Rate
Review RateThese strips work really great!I thought the teeny flies were fruit flies...then I realized they came from my house plants. I appreciate a non-chemical solution to address this problem.
Review RateGreat ProductGnats really stick to it. I could't not do without the Safer Brand Houseplant Sticky Stakes.
Review RateGreat serviceGood price, prompt shipping.
Review RateWorks!Good product. Tad bit overpriced, there should be ten in the pkg, not seven. I usually purchase this brand when I am in need of the plastic sticks, ha. A competing brand uses wooden sticks & that's worthless to me. Monitor cards are better if you want more coverage than these offer. These are good for tight spaces.
Review RateWhere did they all come from?! Works beautifully!I raise Bonsai and fungus gnats are an absolute death sentence for fine feeder roots bonsai depend upon to thrive. Out of the blue, several of the younger bonsai (and some of my regular houseplants) started showing signs of distress and for the life of me, I couldn't find out what was causing the problem. There were no visible signs of disease on leaves or stems, but leaves were wilting and dropping at a steady rate.
Since I never had problems with fungus gnats (40+ years of experience), it wasn't until the weather warmed up that the problem became apparent. There were just a couple gnats at first and the problem intensified as the weather warmed up with more frequent watering.
I am extremely hesitant to use any chemical treatment of any sort on any of my plants. The only product I ever used, had to carry the Safer® Brand trademark. Because all my plants are in a very controlled environment (indoor greenhouse with fans, grow lights, etc...), I rarely have problems.
Well, I purchased 42 Sticky Stakes total and used 12 of them immediately. Overnight, the Sticky Stakes were literally covered and I certainly found the problem.
I also had to purchase Gnatrol WDG to kill off the fungus gnat larvae, which is a biological larvicide. I was almost terrified to use it, but when I saw the overwhelming amount of fungus gnats caught with the Sticky Stakes, it was either kill off the larvae or risk the destruction of bonsai and houseplant alike.
Thank goodness, the Gnatrol has not caused any damage to either bonsai or houseplant and used in conjunction with the Sticky Stakes, this was a good solution.
I lost 3 houseplants to fungus gnats and believe they were initially brought in with a mature greenhouse hanging oak ivy. I rarely buy mature plants and will likely never do so again after this incident.
The gnats are not completely gone (after 3+ weeks of treatment), but the Sticky Stakes are catching only an occasional gnat now and much better than the initial scenario.
Purchasing another lot of Sticky Stakes and thank you Safer!
Review RateGreat Product!If this were a swanky NY nightclub, it would be standing room only...... I don't know if you guys have an issue with those annoying tiny black winged terrors, but I have two plants that they love (and in turn fly in your face and annoy the dog). Well, I researched online and putting sand in the plants was super annoying when you water, but it's true, they can lay eggs and multiply in sand (but who wants to eat veggies/herbs with sand). Anyway, in another article, I found that those bugs are attracted to the color yellow, and then found these... so basically these Safer Stakes have saved me!!! I get them on ebay, but if you have the same problem, man do they work! Safer Sticky Stakes are THE BEST!
Review RateGreat productI use this product to rid my orchids of fungus gnats. It works great. Even at times when there is no infestation, I leave a stake with a clean sticky pad in the plant pot to alarm me when the pests are around again. As soon as I see one caught on the yellow pad I know it's time to treat the soil with a larvicide again.

Q: My plant leaves look chewed! Do you know what type of insect might do that?
A: Insects that have the ability to chew plants must have special cutters in their mouths for this purpose. Such insects may include caterpillars, beetles, and grasshoppers, for example.
Q: Can aphids or other insect pests spread viruses from one plant to another?
A: Yes, many insect pests can transmit a virus from one plant to another. Pumpkins, potatoes, lettuce, melons, cucumbers, beans and beets are just some of the vegetable plants that can be affected.
Q: How do I know if my plant is being attacked by an insect or a disease?
A: If it's an insect, the plant may have holes in its leaves. Turn the leaves over and you may see the insects themselves clustered on the underside of the leaves. You may also see and feel a sticky substance if it's an insect because the insect will leave a secretion on the plant.
Q: Is a spider mite an insect or is it actually a spider?
A: Spider mites belong to a class called arachnids, to which spiders also belong. They are not actually insects. To find out more about these tiny pests, see our information in All About Spider Mites.

Initial yield stress for Hershel-Bulkley model
Hi All
I am attempting to simulate 2D channel flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid. It is a simple problem, but my results cannot match with literature values.
1. The initial yield stress leads to lower velocity comparing with theory values. Sometime, it also leads to continuity convergence problem.
2. The velocity profile cannot show slug-flow zone that is predicted by theory.
I have used the Herschel-Bulkley model in FLUENT and UDF to define the viscosity. Both of two methods have the same issues.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!:)

Sewing Library: Easy Guide to Sewing Linings
I get a lot of requests on how to create linings for various types of garments. Friends, I could write a book on this subject because there are so many different types of garments out there and there are so many different lining treatments. Luckily though, I don't have to because there is already a book that should be in every garment sewer's library: Easy Guide to Sewing Linings by Connie Long. This is my go to book for creating linings in every type of garment/lining conundrum.
It covers everything from creating a lining for a jacket or a coat (great for when a pattern does not come with one, or if it did how it can be improved) to lining sweaters (that's right! sweaters!) to 3 different solutions for lining a vented garment + so much more. So just to be clear, this book shows you how to create the paper pattern for the lining, how to sew it, in addition to providing outstanding info on how to pick a lining and what kinds of fabrics work for various lining treatments. If you don't have this book, and you like lined garments, then all I have to say is "what are you waiting for?"
I have the real life book for my reference and at this point in time, I do believe this book is no longer in print. You can get a used version but the price can fluctuate quite a bit and probably more so since I'm posting about this today. However, guess what? There is a downloadable e-book and I can't tell you enough that it is worth every single penny.
Later on this week, I thought I would also give you my insider resources for where to find great linings online and locally, in addition to my favorite linings and the kind of fabrics I use the most.
Do you have this book? If you do, isn't it wonderful? It truly is one of the most amazing little books I own. Definitely a must have!

I do have this book, and it is wonderful! I agree with you: I think this is one of the best-written and most useful books in my sewing library.ReplyDelete
I have totally checked this book out from my library before. Now, I put it on reserve - well tried to - and it's not available ;-( Like no copies to lend out at all. What the heck!?ReplyDelete
I have to scour Amazon for it!
I have this book and it is a treasured resource. You are so right every sewist should definitely own it because it answers every lining question you could think of!ReplyDelete

I have this book and I love it. I got it at a used book sale at my local library. It cost me $2.00. I didn't think much of it when I bought it but the more I read the more excited I was that I got so much more than what I paid for.ReplyDelete

I have this book and love it. I got the electronic version, printed it and put it in a three ring binder. It's a great resource.ReplyDelete
Sunni, I have this book and I understand some part of it. This is absolutely no fault of the book but my learning style! Being an audio visual person, I really need to see it before I 'get' the idea. I really wish Connie Long taught a Craftsy course on this very subject.ReplyDelete
You must be a mind reader. I was contemplating how to add a lining to a jacket this week.ReplyDelete
Perfect! I was just pondering the kind of linings I'd want to use for various projects :) Going to see if the library has this book :)ReplyDelete
I agree, it's great! I've the downloadable version on my ipad, and it's a wonderful resource!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to your posting on sources. I have trouble finding linings locally and sometimes end up paying more for a lining than the fashion fabric.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, Sunni! This is a really informative post.--AyanaReplyDelete
Thanks for the tip, I'm trying to downsize my rather large book collection (to make more room for fabric ha ha) so to get this electronically would be great.ReplyDelete
I so agree with you about owning this book. I have used it a lot and always surprised that there is a technique to lining some sewing project for just about everything one can sew.ReplyDelete
I have this e book. Although it is a thorough reference, I do not find it easy to understand. I usually pile up all my resources and take from each what I can understand. After I line something and read Connie's instructions again then I say "oh now I understand what she's saying". The easiest lining advice I got was Lining Pattern = sewing pattern minus hems, minus facings, plus seam allowance.ReplyDelete
I use to take classes taught by Connie at G Street Fabric! She was a wonderful teacher. I always learned a ton. It is sad that I live so far away now. I knew she contributed articles to publications such as Threads, but I had no idea that she had written books. Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be scouring the internet for a copy.ReplyDelete
Yes! Own and love this book. Definitely worth having. I need to put it to more use (sew more!)ReplyDelete
[…] is a follow-up post to this post and again, if you don't have Easy Guide to Sewing Linings by Connie Long, you need it and you […]ReplyDelete

Silken poise
Silk has the power to change your mood and make you feel like a million bucks. The urge to look good is inherent in women kind and they have a natural flair to distinguish between quality. These things are not rocket science for them. What looks good visually and appeals to their aesthetic sense is adapted to their lifestyle. On an average, an Indian woman would own not less than ten formal sarees and Kancheepuram will outnumber the other formal sarees.
The Britishers pronounced it like, 'Concheevaram' or Conjeevaram.' The kancheevaram saree is 150 years old and has seen many Kings and their reign and the English and one King's name comes to our mind, who was responsible for the growth of kancheepuram sarees, it was King Krishna-Deva Raya's, who promoted the Devanga's and the Saligars, who had migrated from Andhra Pradesh. They were descendent of sage Markandi, the weaver to Gods. Thus the kancheevaram saris evolved and soon were compared to the Banarasi sarees of U.P. The Kancheevaram city has many temples, The sarees were first made for the Gods and thus only the best is offered to God. Therefore the weave was perfected and gold and silver zari was used and the most exquisite craftsmanship became their trademark.
Sattika or saree became a status symbol and Kancheepuram emerged as a leading weaving cluster. Today there are 60,000 thousand looms in and around Kancheepuram. The saree is also known as Kanjeevaram. These sarees are worth their weight in gold and literally too! as they are graded according to their weight! The saree is made from pure mulberry silk procured from Tamil Nadu and the zari, which is 57% silver and 0.6 % gold is used in the zari, which is brought from Gujarat. The yarn for the saree is twisted and dyed and treated with rice water so that that yarn becomes strong. It said that the saree will survive 30-40 years without a tear! The silk yarn is used to interleave designs and decorate with zari.
The piece of Joy
The Kancheevaram sarees are known for their wide borders and grand pallus. The pallu and the border is woven together and the body is attached later using the 'korvai' method. Which has been learn't to perfection over the years and no one can make out the joining. The sari has a continuous flow of the design and while the soft silk falls over your shoulders nothing else matters in the world. Shatika is proud to have the best designs in this category. We are in the amids't of festivities and any guesses what all women are wearing-gorgeous thick lustrous kancheevaram sarees. Yes, ofcourse. Believe us the auspicious motifs of the sun, parrots, peacock, rudrash, temple borders, kalash and dainty mango motifs, only do magic and make the saree in its wide array of colours, just the right choice this winter.

How to Check the Brake Fluid on a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
When General Motors revealed the Sunfire Concept in 1990, the sleek body and 190-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine were enough to get any auto enthusiast's heart pumping. When the Sunfire finally debuted in 1995, it only carried the name and wedge design of the concept. In 2002, the Sunfire came standard with front disc brakes and rear drums. This system used DOT 3 fluid to carry hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the brake caliper, and periodic inspection of the DOT 3 fluid level can help catch problems in the system before they cause a failure.
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
Open the hood and find the brake master cylinder reservoir — the oval-shaped, translucent tank on the rear, driver side of the engine compartment. Wipe any dirt or debris from the reservoir with a cloth and look for the silhouette of the brake fluid on the side of the brake fluid reservoir. The top of the silhouette should be between the "Min" and "Max" marks on the reservoir. If the fluid is below the "Min" line, then either the brake pads are low or there is a leak in the brake system.

I recently made a Sew Together Bag, pattern by SewDemented.
The last things you do are to add those tabs to the ends of the zipper that is bound to the outside edges. Then you'll stitch them down, centered on the sides, in the same line as you used to stitch down the binding.
Then you're done!!!
Have YOU made this Sew Together bag? What did you think of this pattern? What was your favorite aspect of the bag? Your least favorite? (Comment below or on our Facebook Page)

|By Waterkai and Vaznock
|Part of the Kyoshi Revolts continuity.
The Duel in the Plaza was one of the final battles of The Great War. It was fought and won by Mai and Ty Lee, and lost by Katara. Though the battle was not strategically important, it did result in the death of one of Team Avatar's best members.
Katara and Ty Lee were always on bad terms ever since they met in New Ozai. Katara deeply feared Ty Lee's skill in Chi Blocking, as it was enough to take away Katara's Waterbending, leaving her powerless. Katara's hatred of Azula and Ty Lee (and Mai) increased drastically after finding out they were responsible for the death of her beloved family. These deaths however, had such a profound effect on Katara, that her Waterbending suffered, as did her focus and her control over her emotions.
Zuko, after being told by his uncle he needed to face Azula, asked Katara to help. Despite her anger with Zuko's failure at the Boiling Rock, Katara said yes, as she wanted revenge on Azula. She and Zuko then traveled to the Fire Nation Capital on Appa on the day of Sozin's Comet.
Katara and Zuko arrived just before Azula was crowned. The two prepared to fight Azula together, but Azula revealed she expected them all along, and that she would not stand without help. Mai and Ty Lee then entered the scene from the sides of the arena. Zuko told Katara to go and fight Mai and Ty Lee, as he needed to fight Azula. Under orders from Azula, Ty Lee cartwheeled into the Royal Plaza, luring Katara into it.
The Duel
Now in the plaza, Katara and Ty Lee prepared to fight. Mai entered just before the duel started, throwing knives at Katara. Katara whipped them away, but she soon had to avoid the quick attacks of Ty Lee. Katara's Waterbending had suffered greatly, and Mai and Ty Lee quickly gained the upper hand.
Eventually, Katara was able to get a punch on Mai, splashing her against the plaza's walls. Katara, however, could not close in on Mai, as she was momentarily distracted at Zuko and Azula's Agni Kai. Ty Lee then tried to punch Katara in the stomach, but Katara dodged the punch just in time. She tried hitting Ty Lee with a water whip, but instead found herself shielding herself from a huge blade thrown by Mai.
Soon Katara found herself running out of water to bend. Mai realized this, and punctured a hole in her whip, draining it of most of its water. Ty Lee then swooped down from a pole to get Katara, but Katara sensed her and smacked her back on to the pole.
As the battle's end neared, so did Zuko's and Azula's. Eventually, Zuko was killed by Azula, and Katara watched in horror as Zuko's dead body fell on the ground. Losing the will to fight, Katara began crying to herself on the floor in complete agony. Mai stopped fighting after seeing Zuko dead, as she was also quite upset about his death. Ty Lee soon took matters into her own hands, and paralyzed Katara while she sobbed to herself.
Azula saw Katara's pathetic little show, and started to taunt her, and tell her the Avatar and everyone else she loves is dead, and will never come back. Ty Lee started to feel bad about everything, and asked Azula to just put Katara out of her misery. Azula agreed, grabbed one of Mai's knives, and slits Katara's throat.
The death of Katara and Zuko coincided with the death of Aang, Toph, Iroh, and the Order of the White Lotus's failure during the Battle of Ba Sing Se. For Mai and Ty Lee's victory, they were one of the few people whom were praised at Azula's coronation as Fire Lord.

October 26, 1998
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP)- The eight schools leaving the Western Athletic Conference have named their new NCAA Division I-A league the Mountain West Conference, the schools announced Monday.
"The Mountain West Conference name ... brings to mind the geographic setting of our conference," said Colorado State University president Albert C. Yates, the president and treasurer of the new conference.
The schools which decided last summer they were leaving the WAC to launch the Mountain West are Colorado State, Air Force, Brigham Young, Nevada-Las Vegas, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming. They cited the loss of traditional rivalries, rising travel costs and insufficient revenue growth as reasons for leaving the country's only 16-school conference.
The new conference officially begins July 1, 1999.
Craig Thompson, commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was named to lead the new league on Oct. 15.
The Mountain West Conference has not selected its headquarters, but the prospective sites reportedly have been narrowed to Las Vegas and Colorado Springs.
The schools staying in the WAC are Southern Methodist, San Jose State, Fresno State, Hawaii, Rice, Texas Christian, Texas-El Paso and Tulsa.

Former Formula One champion and Brazilian racer Emerson Fittipaldi has joined hands with Italian design firm Pininfarina and a German design and engineering firm HWA to develop supercars. Pininfarina is now owned by Indian group Mahindra & Mahindra.
Fittipaldi has the knowledge and experience to develop supercars as he was the youngest F1 champion of his era. He won the F1 title two times in 1972 and 1974. The series of supercars from this joint-venture will be launched in the upcoming years.
The first model of the supercar series is named as Fittipaldi EF7 Vision by Pininfarina. The supercar is expected to be unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show next month.
The teased image uploaded by Pininfarina on Wednesday shows a massive rear wing, sleek taillights and slanting roof. From the image, it is clear that the car is a mid-engined one.
Pininfarina has said in a press statement about Fittipaldi that, "His sole mission was to apply all his track knowledge of creating a new experience that will elevate the driving ability of all supercar enthusiasts from around the world."

Installing Centos in Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-VHyper-V 2012 R2, Virtualization
I need to create a virtual machine with CentOS 6.5 as the guest OS.
I clicked through creating the VM and discovered that the install wouldn't work. Eventually tracked down the issues.
Keep the following points in mind as you create your VM:
- Create the VM as a generation 1 virtual machine
- Ensure the virtual disk controller and disk are IDE
- Ensure a legacy network adapter is used – may need to create the VM without a network adapter and add the adapter before the install
- If asked to test the install media (iso image) be aware that it will be ejected after the test so you'll need to open it again
- keep it simple and only have 1 network adapter
- Use the map to find the nearest city to get the time zone – scrolling though the list is boring

Euorpean PowerShell Summit 2014 registration details
The European PowerShell Summit, organised by PowerShell.org, will be in Amsterdam September 29 – October 1 2014 at the Park Hotel. Details at http://powershell.org/wp/community-events/summit/
The Summit will feature 3 days of PowerShell sessions from PowerShell team members, PowerShell MVPs and other PowerShell experts. It's the in-person gathering place for PowerShell enthusiasts and PowerShell users. It's a place to make new connections, learn new techniques, and offer something to your peers and colleagues. If you can't get your PowerShell questions answered at the PowerShell Summit you'll never get an answer.
The Summit agenda is available to view at: http://eventmgr.azurewebsites.net/event/agenda/PSEU14
Registration is now open via http://eventmgr.azurewebsites.net/event/home/PSEU14.
Invoke-Item tips
Invoke-Item is another cmdlet that you don't see used that often but there is one place where its invaluable – opening files. If you give Invoke-Item the path to a file
Invoke-Item -Path .\procs.txt
The file will be opened with the default application associated with that extension. In this case Notepad.
If you use a PowerShell script file
Invoke-Item .\t1.ps1
It will be opened in Notepad for you to examine. CSV files automatically open in Excel and other Office files are opened in the correct application.
Using the alias ii for Invoke-item makes it even easier.
ServerManagerTasks module – – Get-SMServerFeatureCIM, WMI
Finding the Windows features installed on a remote machine can be an interesting task. You could use Get-WindowsFeature but that gives you a "graphical" display:
£> Get-WindowsFeature | where DisplayName -like '*DNS*'
Display Name Name Install State
———— —- ————-
[X] DNS Server DNS Installed
[X] DNS Server Tools RSAT-DNS-Server Installed
Or you could use Get-SMServerFeature from the ServerManagerTasks module:
£> Get-SMServerFeature -BatchSize 1000 | where DisplayName -like '*DNS*' | sort Displayname | ft -a Displayname, State, Type, ConfigurationStatus
Displayname State Type ConfigurationStatus
———– —– —- ——————-
DNS Server 1 0 3
DNS Server Tools 1 2 3
Which is CIM based and uses a new class: root/microsoft/windows/servermanager/MSFT_ServerFeature
Following the tradition firmly established since the introduction of WMI the data from this class is represented by integer values AND just for giggles its not documented. To be fair most of the WMI classes aren't documented.
We need documentation for these classes
In an effort to work out which are the important values I compared the outputs from
Get-SMServerFeature -BatchSize 1000 | where DisplayName -like '*PowerShell*' | sort Displayname | ft -a Displayname, State, Type, ConfigurationStatus
Get-WindowsFeature | where DisplayName -like '*PowerShell*' | sort Displayname
The important property from Get-SMServerFeature seems to be State which takes a 0 or 1. O corresponds to Available in Get-WindowsFeature and 1 corresponds to Installed.
You can use the trick I show in PowerShell and WMI (www.manning.com/siddaway2)
$state = DATA {ConvertFrom-StringData -StringData @'
0 = Available
1 = Installed
Get-SMServerFeature -BatchSize 1000 |
where DisplayName -like '*PowerShell*' |
sort Displayname |
select DisplayName, UniqueName,
@{N='State'; E={$state["$($_.State)"]}
$state = DATA {ConvertFrom-StringData -StringData @'
0 = Available
1 = Installed
Create a hash table for the integer values and their meaning and use that hash table in a calculated field to get the meaning from the integer value.
The output will look like this:
DisplayName : Windows PowerShell Web Access
UniqueName : WindowsPowerShellWebAccess
State : Available
Its now easy to compare the data between different machines. Get-SMServerFeature has a CimSession parameter for working with remote machines
European Summit – – update 6
As pointed out on PowerShell.org – http://powershell.org/wp/2014/08/03/powershell-summit-europe-2014-status/ – we're around the 50% of capacity for registrations at the moment.
We need at least 45 attendees to be able to afford to put on a European Summit in 2015. Its not that we don't want to do a European Summit – its we can't afford to unless we get the support needed to ensure the event is financially viable
There are about 6 weeks until registration closes in mid-September.
Now is the time to start pestering your boss about going. There's a great speaker line up plus some excellent evening activities. Amsterdam is a wonderful city that's well worth a visit.
If you want to hear top line PowerShell speakers, including the PowerShell team, at an annual PowerShell summit then we need your support and I'd urge you to attend.
Registration is via the link at http://powershell.org/wp/community-events/summit/
It would be a sad position if we can't get enough attendees from across Europe to make this work
History cmdlets
There are 4 cmdlets for working with the history in a PowerShell session:
Add-History – adds an entry to the history
Clear-History – clears the history
Get-History -enables you see the current history
Invoke-History – enables you to run a line in your history
Get-History is the one I use the most. You can use the UP arrow key to cycle back to an old command or use Invoke-History.
I'd only use Clear-History if I had a long running session and I was changing what I was working on.
Add-History is the odd one. I've never used it but it could be useful if you have a command you run often and you want to push it into the history when you start a session.
Be aware of a variable that controls history:
$MaximumHistoryCount defaults to 4096 and is the maximum number of commands saved in the command history.
You can increase this up to 32768 if you desire but unless you put the command in your profile your next session will drop back to the default.
Its mandatory Jim but not as we know it
A uestion was asked on the forum about whether a parameter could be made mandatory sometimes and nor other – in particular if a parameter could be made mandatory if another parameter was used.
My initial thought was that it couldn't but a little experimentation with parameter sets produced this:
function test {
param (
[Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Set1')]
[Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Set1',Mandatory)]
[Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Set2')]
[Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Set2')]
"parameters accepted"
The function doesn't do anything – its just to demonstrate the parameters
So this works:
£> test -Param1 x -Param2 y
parameters accepted
These work
£> test -Param1 x -Param2 y -param5
parameters accepted
£> test -Param1 x -Param2 y -param5 -Param4 z
parameters accepted
So you see that param4 when used in parameter set set2 is not mandatory
£> test -Param1 x -Param2 y -param3
cmdlet test at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Param4: a
parameters accepted
So when you use parameter 3 you're in parameter set set1 and param4 becomes mandatory.
Bit messy with the parameter decorators but it gets the job done

Following a biking accident, Boston grad student Zack Kashian lapses into a coma. When he wakes up on Easter, months later, muttering the Lord's Prayer in the original Aramaic, the media quickly anoints him the "Miracle Man". Zack's revival catches the attention of a small team of neuroscientists secretly researching near-death experiences. Their objective: to determine if there is anything to the reports of floating down tunnels into celestial light and meeting spiritual beings. Is this evidence of the afterlife? Or is it just neurobiology, as Sarah Wyman, one of the young researchers, suspects? Zack's experiences are anything but heavenly. While he and Sarah struggle to understand his horrific out-of-body experiences, sinister forces have taken an interest in them. Forces to whom near-death experiences are utter blasphemy - deceptions created by Satan himself - and who, in the name of God, will stop at nothing to terminate the project and all involved.
"I have long believed that science will move us more toward God and give us proofs of his creations. With Tunnel Vision, Gary Braver provides a wonderfully frightening and insightful tale on this theme that shatters my bones and leaves me to piece myself back together." (Ray Bradbury)
"Gary Braver's books will thrill you, scare you, and compel you to listen to the very end. And with Tunnel Vision he does it all again. Gary Braver is one of the best thriller writers in America today!" (Tess Gerritsen, New York Times best-selling author)
"A tantalizing premise, stylish prose, sharply-etched characters, and tension that ratchets up degree by degree." (Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author)

Medical Massage for Health & Healing
When they aren't mending muscles with traditional Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports techniques, the therapists at Medical Massage for Health & Healing target stubborn knots with hot stones and bamboo. Another specialty is the Thai-stem coconut massage, a tropical treatment steeped in Asian skincare techniques. During this treatment, therapists rub skin with a steamed coconut oil that's flush with antioxidants and natural anti-aging properties, a procedure that leaves the body's surface like Pluto's surface after a collision with an asteroid belt: soft and silky smooth.
The setting is equally relaxing. A trickling fountain soothes guests as they lounge in the waiting room, which takes on a warm, orange glow thanks to an electric fireplace. Inside the private massage room, roses adorn a swirling wall ornament and anatomical charts pinpoint the location of the elusive funny bone. Medical Massage for Health & Healing was awarded Best Massage, 2016 by Lehigh Valley Happening.

Leonor's Healthy Carrot Cake (Gluten-Free)
Leo here!
Today I want to share with you my ultimate healthy carrot cake recipe! I love carrot cake but when I started looking into making it at home, I was astonished at how much sugar and fat goes into it! I would trick my own mind into believing I was having healthy vegetables and overlooked the processed vegetable oils and sugars.
But it's so easy to make a healthier version of your favorite carrot cake! This recipe is moist and has 75% less fat than traditional carrot cake. It satisfies your sweet tooth and craving for carrot cake but you can feel good about sharing this with family and friends.
Nutrition Info: Makes ~ 15 servings
Amount per serving:
- Calories: 426
- Calcium: 61.8 g
- Magnesium: 25.8 g
- Sugars: 29 g
- Carbohydrates: 46.8 g
- Protein: 7.4 g
- Dietary Fiber: 6.6 g
- Saturated Fat: 11.2 g
Here's what you'll need…
- Two 9 inch cake pans
- Large mixing bowls
- Food processor
- Parchment paper
- Hand-held mixer or stand mixer with a whip attachment
- Rubber Spatula
- 1 large cup organic dates (200g)
- 4 cups shredded carrots (500g)
- 1 cup organic applesauce (326g)
- ⅓ cup organic coconut oil (70g)
- 2 cups gluten free flour (see notes)
- ¼ cup almond meal
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon + all-spice (see notes)
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cups organic coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla and pinch of salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional but highly recommended)
- 16 oz (2 cups) cream cheese at room temperature
- 2 cups dates
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- This recipe works well with gluten free and regular flour. For regular flour use 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. For gluten free option I used Bob's red mill gluten all purpose flour.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spices in your carrot cake. I like 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of allspice (or combine nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon) but by all means, add more! You can also add ginger if you like!
- You can use pecans instead of walnuts. And if you don't like nuts or are allergic, you can just leave them out.
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Grease cake pans with coconut oil and parchment paper
- Using a food processor or a hand grater, grate 4-5 carrots to get 4 cups of grated carrots. (No need to pack the carrots. If you do, 3 cups would be enough.)
- In a food processor, blend dates until a sticky paste forms. Add applesauce, vanilla, salt and melted coconut oil and process until well combined
- In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices and set aside
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until double in size and slowly beat in coconut sugar
- Add date mixture to eggs and stir well
- Add dry ingredients and stir until well combined
- Fold in grated carrots and walnuts
- Pour batter evenly between the two pans
- Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While cakes are baking and cooling, we can start making the frosting.
It was hard to find but I got organic cream cheese at my local store. I really recommend looking for one without modified milk ingredients and other additives.
- In your food processor, blend the dates until a smooth paste forms. Add in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and processor until well combined
- With an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add in date mixture and blend. Adjust texture and sweetness with more maple syrup
- Once the cakes have cooled, frost the first layer of cake and add the second layer on top. Add the rest of the frosting and cover the whole cake
- Serve right away or keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
This recipe is so good, I would never make a traditional carrot cake again. The frosting is sweet from the dates and maple syrup and tart from the cream cheese. It packs serious flavor in a thin layer!
I've replaced a lot of the oil in traditional recipes with applesauce to give you that moist texture. You could replace all the oil completely with applesauce but the texture would be more dense. Plus I use coconut oil which is wonderful for your health so don't feel bad about adding a bit more in there! In most of my cake recipes, I try to substitute the sugar with dates and coconut sugar. I prefer the taste and they are much healthier alternatives.
In addition to getting 15.4 mg of calcium in just one date (about 24 grams) you get:
- 167 mg Potassium
- 14.9 mg Phosphorus
- 13 mg Magnesium
- 2.4 mg Choline
- And trace amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B5, Betaine, Iron, Zinc, Copper, and Manganese.¹
And they are low in sodium!
Just like how AlgaeCal Plus is a whole food calcium source that offers a lot more than just calcium, dates are a whole food alternative to sugar. They offer a lot more than traditional processed sugar would!
This carrot cake also has loads of carrots for your daily serving of Vitamin A. And it's high in fiber and healthy fats from the walnuts and coconut oil! So please give it a try and let me know how you like it in the comments below 🙂

This recipe I will try
Do you have PDF receipts? I have iPad . No printer. Maxine
The recipe say '1/4 almond meal'. Is it 1/4 of the flour mixture listed above or 1/4 cup?
The recipe sounds great and I will try it, but I don't have a food processor, maybe a blender will suffice. I don't see how much nuts listed in the recipe. Can I assume 1 cup?
The recipe looks delicious. Is there a dairy free alternative you can recommend to substitute the cream cheese in the frosting?
I love carrot cake! Thank you for this recipe. I also love to save recipe ideas in pinterest…….
Can you please tell me how much saturated fat and cholesterol is in this recipe?
I would love to try this recipe but I did not find the walnut amount in the list of ingredients. You mention the walnuts vs pecans in your later comments but not in the recipe itself. Could you please add that?
Leonor, this sounds so yummy, I hope to give it a try soon.

Southern-Style Baked Beans
Recipe by JackieOhNo
I have several recipes for baked beans, and they all seem to suit a particular time of year or occasion. These are the baked beans I traditionally make on Super Bowl Sunday. They go very well with my pulled pork and other dishes on my menu. I do warn you that this recipe makes a LOT of beans. This recipe is easily increased or decreased. Use a 28-ounce can of beans for every six guests.
Top Review by Nimz1466
Excellent baked beans. Loved the way the sauce caramelized. The texture was perfect. I halved the recipe and kept the barbecue sauce and brown sugar the same as the whole recipe and that worked well for us. Thanks so much for sharing. Again Congratulations on winning the Pot Luck Special Event.
See Discussion:5 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 slices bacon, cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1⁄2 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 (28 ounce) cans pork and beans
- 3⁄4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄4 cup distilled vinegar or 1⁄4 cup cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard or 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Directions See How It's Made
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position. Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large pan, fry bacon until it is partially cooked and you have about 1/4 cup of drippings. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Add onion and bell pepper to drippings in pan and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add beans, bacon and remaining ingredients; bring to a simmer. (If there's not enough room in the pan, add beans and heat to a simmer; transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining ingredients).
- Pour flavored beans into a greased 9-by-13-inch (or similar size) oven-proof pan (a large, wide casserole allows the beans to thicken nicely). Bake, uncovered, until the beans are bubbly and the sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the "juiciness" of the brand of beans you use.
- Let stand to thicken slightly. Serve warm.

I think that 4-2-3-1
you can control in center and control other team possesion and speed.
The best formation is the one that suits your own team qualities.
GA coach said it right. You have to match the team formation to your teams players. You don't match your players to a formation you match formations to your players. Now tell us about your players and then we can tell you what would be best for them.
As WvH would say
I like the 4-4-2. It provides the depth, spacing and width both defensively and attacking. The attack can be easily support by the backs as the opportunties present themself, and it seems to ease the pressure on the defensive in comparison to a 3-4-3 or 4-3-3.
It seems to have more balance in the attack and defense.
These are only numbers, they mean F*** ALL
You are right. These are just ways to identify fundamental positioning on the field (usually at kickoff) and fundamental field responsibilities. The formation is a very fuild thing during the game.
Don't you have to start somewhere?
I mean. If you don't identify some basic form to start, you would probably have everyone chasing the ball without regard to space and coverage.
What the alternative method to teach? (as I see supporting of attacks and covering for defense as actions taken by the players during the game..)
I'm not going to get involved in this post as I've said my piece so many times in the past but just to make a point.
I like to play 4-4-2
Now is my 4 at the back a Flat Four? Or is it a Flat 3 with Sweeper? Are the 3 central or are the 2xFB and CB? or maybe I use a Sweeper Stopper system?
Is my four mids a Diamond Mid? or maybe (and I've seen this on the forum recently) a flat mid? or is it a square mid?
Are my two at the front twin strikers? or maybe a single striker and a withdrawn striker?
Where do I get my width from? Is it two of the mids who play wide? or maybe my full backs are expected to morph into wingers? or does one of my strikers occupy a wide position?
And so on and on and on...........
Now if I can do this with a 4-4-2 I can also do it with a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3 so first of all maybe you need to define what you mean by formation because so far no one has. Or maybe no-one understands the question.
Sermon over.
WillieB- You are right, of course, but there can be different levels of this discussion and I think you are getting hung up thinking everybody has to answer the question at the most detailed level. For example, my girls recently switched from a 4-4-2 to a 3-4-3 formation. I think I can discuss this with coaches here by saying the reason we switched is because I have on the team 3 awesome defenders that give up less than 1/2 goal per game average and if would be better for our team to move the extra player up front. Do I really need to get into a discussion of whether I am playing a flat back or deep sweeper plus 2 markers, if my midfield is flat or diamond, whether I play with a target player, and what the attributes of each player are that lead me to that decision in order to have the discussion in general terms with coaches here? By the way, since the switch we have scored 27 goals and given up only 1. I really think a few here have taken this formation discussion a bit far to prove a point that is not necessary. But I say that with no disrespect to theirs or your soccer knowledge.
By the way Mick, way to go fishing.
With questions like this one can you really be shocked Italy won 3-1 over our U20's. Exactly where the problem lies, lack of critical thinking. Formations are a starting point and effect the game little if your players can't read and react to the ebb and flow of the game.
I'm with WvH again 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1.
Tino, I'm not going too far to make a point. The question was "What is the best fomation and why". The answer is, "There isn't one"
My final word on this topic is
Your team plays 3-4-3, my team plays 3-4-3. Ignoring factors such as the skill levels and ability of individual players and assume an even playing field answer this question.
Does the fact we are both playing 3-4-3 mean our teams will be similar in the way we play the game, the roles of the players, who does what?
The only way for the num,bers to be meaningful in a discussion such as this is to provide more detail
The BEST FORMATION is one where ALL your players are playing in the correct direction
Take away the number you first thought of...and the answers 11
The key is the coaches skill to 'architect' a sculpture from the block of stone they acquire to begin with and 'form'
Why not change the topic to pros and cons of each theoretical formation?
Any idiot knows that it is the best formatiom if it 1. best fits your players and 2. best addresses what the opponent is doing at the time.
ok, what is the best formation it in your opinion, it doesn't fact.
-I think that in 4-2-3-1 you have depth in the center and this is the key to the win.
-by the way, what is the key to the win? tactics, psychology, discipline, defense, center field? what do you think?
The key is to score more than your opponents
All the rest are tools to get there
Here is another perspective. The best formation is the one you know the best and can teach your players with the least confusion.
For example, I "know" the 3-4-3, and 3-4-1-2 well, along with the classic German 3-5-2 (single defensive mid)because I've used variations of these systems on many youth teams over the past several years and I've forced myself to write out descriptions of the systems to hand out to the assistant coaches, so we are all on the same tactical page and teaching the same stuff. I haven't done this with 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 (although I'm thinking of a 4-4-2 for my U13 boys team next year). I simply don't know these systems as well and wouldn't be able to teach them as effectively.
In any case, in the past, I've usually looked at my players and picked one of the 3 systems above for my youth teams. For example, I have a 'special' -- very gifted -- dribbler and playmaker on my U17 girls team. She was made to play as a withdrawn striker/ attacking mid. I also have a tall (5' 10''), fast, physically dominant centre back and some smaller, really quick fullbacks who play well in a zonal back 3. I also have a couple of fast, fit, outside mids who can run all day. So for the girls we have played 3-4-1-2 with great success for several years.
But on my U12 boys team last year -- small and lower level -- we used a 3-4-3 due to the balance on the field, the attacking orientation, and simplicity of teaching the system. But, in many games, last season against better teams, I switched to 3-4-2 and used a dedicated 'man-marker' to mark the other team's best player. So, the key is -- can you teach your base system well enough so that the kids understand the nature of the adjustments you sometimes need to make. A formation is a template -- but the actual game is fluid. So, naturally, the template is only your starting point in any game. The best teams often play several different ways in the same game.
If we are talking about the youth game isn't "the best formation" the one that allows us to teach our players what we want to teach them?
That's the spin I'd put on this, too.
I feel most comfortable teaching soccer via a 4-4-2. It allows me to teach certain concepts I think are important, like forwards moving creatively, midfielders joining the attack and reading opportunities, and backs feeling free to take opportunities to attack. I feel most comfortable teaching those concepts from a 4-4-2.
I tolerate the 4-3-3 and can teach OK in that setup, too. But I find it very hard to teach creative movement from a 3-player front. I know it can be done, but I'm not so good at it.
I find it very difficult to teach from a 3-5-2. The requirements seem too rigid, and the players seem to need to be more specialized than I like to have them at U11 or U12. For example, the wing midfielders in a 3-5-2 absolutely need to be very fit, fast, and hard-working to handle the amount of space they must cover; that limits WHO I can play there. But I suppose a different coach with a stronger grasp of the 3-5-2 or simply more experience with it, would not have the problems I have in teaching from that setup.
So, I suppose it's a blend of what RickG and JeffS wrote: 1) A formation that you are comfortable with and knowledgable in, since better understanding helps you convey concepts better, and 2) a formation that assists you with the concepts you think are important, again helping you teach better.
