Nicole's dress at the Independent Spirit Awards was a bit of a bore, even though it heavily featured red lace. (not exactly a staid choice). It was a L'wren Scott design, and while certainly a nice silhouette, it was also one we've come to expect from Nicole on the red carpet. Yawn!
Mila Kunis, in my opinion, just KILLED it last night! Her lavender Elie Saab was absolutely stunning, and she was simply glowing. Loved the soft up-do, the make-up, everything. My favourite look of the night!!
Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa also looked beautiful. I loved the delicate, sheer overlay, and I think the length of the dress was age-appropriate. While this is certainly a silhouette we've seen plenty of times before, there is no denying that it's a very, very pretty dress.
The ombre effect on the feathered train of Hilary Swank's Gucci Premiere dress took her look from merely "nice" (and not particularly original) to "stunning" (and unexpected).
Another dress that missed the mark, as far as I'm concerned, was Halle Berry's sparkly Marchesa. It's hard to say that Hell can ever look terrible, but the random bits of tulle clinging to this dress made it look like she walked by a cotton-candy machine in the middle of a wind-storm.
Let's admit it; sometimes, the worst can be the most fun – especially when it's really bad. Apart from Christian Bale's beard, there were no major trainwrecks on the Oscar red carpet, but there were a number of dresses that I heartily disliked. Ironically for a vintage '50s piece, Marisa Tomei's gown had an "80s goth prom" vibe to me. This is one occasion when I could have done without the (funereal) tulle.
Melissa Leo wore a Marc Bouwer dress which, on TV, unfortunately reminded me of a '70s mosaic-topped table that my grandma used to have. The dress looked stiff and rather ill-fitting, a poor choice to follow up Melissa's lovely Golden Globes gown. But, hey, she got her Oscar!
Oscar Parties: Best and worst
Great style must run in the Roberts family, because Julia's niece Emma looked spectacular in a silver Jenny Packham dress at Elton John's annual Oscar party. It's a grown-up gown, but Emma pulls it off beautifully.
Meanwhile, Claire Danes must have decided to forgo style for comfort at the same event, showing up in a bathrobe. A very expensive, Chanel bathrobe but, still.
I couldn't not mention the Julien MacDonald dress worn by Heidi Klum to the Elton John bash. It goes without saying that Heidi is a beautiful woman … but sadly, in this dress, one dressed up like a disco ball.
Over at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the usually lovely Emma Stone wore a tragic Chanel "mullet" gown (cocktail dress in the front, folded towel in the back). Her look was not helped by the straggly-looking hair. Ooof!
Your turn – what did you think of this year's Oscars' fashions?

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Porsche vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck. Porsche automobile drivers have become used to a certain level of ultimate performance when driving their 928 around town. When your Porsche 928 rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes the tip of the spear in sport in their automobile. Anyone who drives a Porsche knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Keeping the drive belts tight that turn your accessories' pulleys is the responsibility of your Porsche 928 drive belt tensioner. Your engine accessories are essentially siphoning power from the crank and sending it to your accessories through a drive or serpentine belt. Due to the pressure these belts are operating under, they could simply come off the pulleys unless the belt tensioner keeps them in contact; potentially leaving your car or truck without the use of its alternator, water pump, or more. Porsche 928 engines should have their belt tensioners inspected and adjusted in order to ensure proper operation of the serpentine or drive belts.
Don't let a broken Drive Belt Tensioner & Pulley bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Procuring new Porsche parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the most superior original and aftermarket replacement 928 parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Porsche 928 part for your needs. When it comes to Porsche 928 Drive Belt Tensioner & Pulley parts, you can find them for 1995, 1994, 1993, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

7 Reasons to Upgrade to Node v4 Now
Today Node v4 got released. It is the first stable release after the io.js merge and thus brings us a bunch of shiny, new ES6 language additions. While there's already a great overview of the ES6 additions, this post shows how to make use of them!
In particular, I'm going to address the following additions:
1. Template Strings
If you ever tried to create a multiline string in JavaScript, you probably ended up doing something similar to this:
While this works for a small amount of text, it gets messy for a couple of sentences. Therefore, a clever developer came up with a hack called multiline:
Luckily, ES6 brings us template strings:
In addition, they also bring us string interpolation:
Check out the details about template strings on MDN.
2. Classes
Defining classes in ES5 looks somewhat strange and definitely takes time to get used to:
Luckily we can now use the new ES6 syntax in Node:
An extends keyword, constructors, calls to the super class and properties. How awesome? But there's more. Check out the comprehensive guide on MDN
3. Arrow Functions
The dynamic binding of
this on function invocation always causes some confusion, and people worked around it in a
couple of ways:
Now you can just use fat arrow functions:
Check out arrow functions in more detail.
4. Object Literals
When using object literals, you can now use a nice little shortcut:
Additionally, you can now easily add functions to your object literals.
5. Promises
Instead of depending on third party libraries like
bluebird or
Q, you can now use native promises. Those expose the
following apis:
6. String Methods
We got a couple of new string utility functions too:
Go and tell those ruby kids! Strings also support better unicode handling now.
7. let and const
Guess the return value of the following function call:
undefined. Replace
var with
let and you get the expected behaviour:
The reason:
var is function-scoped, while
let is block-scoped (which is what most people expect). Because of that,
it is save to say that
let is the new
var. You can get more details about let on MDN.
Bonus: Node now supports the
const keyword, which prevents you from reassigning a different value to the same reference:
Wrapping Up
Node v4 brings even more ES6 additions, but I hope that these seven examples already convinced you to update and use the latest version.
There are many more language features (e.g. maps/sets, symbols and generators, just to mention a few more). Make sure that you also check the overview of ES6 additions to Node v4. Happy updating!

Go on, press the button. You know you want to. Six litres, 12 cylinders, 552 horses, two turbochargers and four-wheel drive. This is the new baby Bentley and that black, enamelled button is the starter. Start me up, baby...
Hang on, though. Savour the moment. Just how long have we waited for this car? In 1985, when Peter Ward unveiled the "Black Rat" concept, the vital need for a baby Bentley was well understood, but there was no money. At the 1994 Geneva Show, when the crate was lifted off the BMW 5-series-based "Project Java" concept, the press went wild with speculation and the company was deluged with offers of deposits, but there was still no money — it took Volkswagen's acquisition of Bentley in July 1998 to change that.
This car is hot, and how. Order a Continental GT coupé today and you'll not take delivery until 2005, despite the fact that the car will be produced at a rate of 3,500 per year, a huge amount for Bentley. I've even had well-heeled Telegraph readers on the phone, demanding that I get them to the front of the queue. Nothing doing, I'm afraid.
It's hardly surprising, though. At £110,000, even motor-industry insiders can't believe how cheap the Continental is. At last weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed, two senior car executives expressed astonishment at the price as the new car rocketed up the hill.
Just £110,000? Perhaps we need a non-Bentley-owning reality check, but the Continental does rather warp your values. And, with a top speed of nearly 200mph and acceleration comparable with that of a Ferrari or a Porsche, this four-seat coupé rather warps your senses as well. It's perhaps just as well to remember that with Maybach and Rolls-Royce prices starting at £250,000, comparisons are odious. A different car it might be, but even if you compare the new Bentley with the cars that specialist motoring magazines were smuggling up to the Scottish launch for comparison purposes, it still looks good. In fact, the only direct competitor I could find (a four-wheel-drive, turbocharged coupé capable of carrying four adults and their luggage) is out of production but, at £20,950 in 1992, Vauxhall's Calibra turbo 4x4 makes the Bentley look a bit of a rip-off.
Oh go on, press it then...
There's no impertinent, Aston Martin-style WHOOMPH when you press the starter, just a muscular growl from the twin elliptical exhaust snaps. Sit back in the shapely leather seat and admire the hand-stitched leather trim, the book-marked and matched wood veneers and the polished aluminium switchgear as you pull the central gearlever down to Drive; six ratios are controlled automatically, or with a Tiptronic manual override via the lever or paddles behind the steering wheel. A warbling reverberation seems to come from deep in the bottom of the car: not a fizzing annoyance, just a statement of intent. The torque reverberates round the 15th-century castle courtyard and gently rolls you down the driveway. It'll waft if you want it to, but that's not really the Bentley's forte.
Turn out on to an undulating Scottish A-road, which leads into the distance as far as the eye can see. Line up the bluff snout and discover what this car does so very, very well. With a rush of air through the blowers and a resonant growl from the driveline, the nose lifts slightly and the Bentley just charges for the horizon. It's not a jolting, neck-snapping bolt, more a smooth, ceaseless thrust in the back, from 10mph all the way to its 198mph top speed if you and the laws of the country are so inclined. The best way to describe it might be the endless acceleration you get in a transatlantic jetliner at take-off, when the pilot's in a rush to see his girlfriend on the other side of the pond.
Four-wheel drive ensures traction, the multi-link air suspension keeps the wheels in contact with the ground and the body stable as the Continental performs its party trick. Not that the driver is a mere passenger: the accurate steering has weight, and while the feedback through the rim feels artificial, it doesn't let you down once you learn to trust it.
And so you get to the first corner, and the Continental's near 7ft width and almost 2·4-ton weight become more intimidating than a grinning, 20-stone transvestite with a bull terrier. It's more in the mind than the reality, but given that the remarkable engine is mounted ahead of the front axles, it's hard to imagine just how you will ever get round a corner without ploughing straight on. Your thoughts turn to the track record of the Bentley's sister car, the VW Phaeton, which displays a supreme indifference to changing direction at all.
Turn the Continental's huge, thick-rimmed steering wheel, however, and the 19in-diameter wheels track obediently around, the body stays stable and, as you accelerate away, the old stone walls rumble in sympathy at the passing of the big car. This is so much more than just a point-and-squirt machine and although there is a tendency to nose-on understeer, anything else would be foolhardy — VW has taken its responsibility in making a 200mph four-seater very seriously. A basic weight distribution of 57 per cent front and 43 per cent rear isn't nearly as bad as you might expect, and VW claims it is optimum for the Bentley's configuration. There's also the 4x4 system with its torque-sensing central differential, which can infinitely split the basic 50/50 front/rear torque transfer. The brakes are the largest ever fitted to a production car: the 15·9in front discs and 13·2in rears are ventilated and backed with anti-lock, electronic braking assist and brake-force distribution systems. There's an electronic stability programme and traction control, plus another system to ensure that you can't lock the wheels up under engine braking by lifting off the throttle. There's also a rear spoiler that rises automatically from the base of the rear window at speed.
It's an impressive armoury and, as we learned, very effective. The feeling of stability and solidity is remarkable and you can press on in this car to the point where the tyres start to slide and your nerve fails. By that time, you're developing so much side force that your neck has started to ache. The brakes are fantastic, stopping quickly and effectively whatever the surface and capable of being feathered in very delicately. For all that, however, you never forget that this is a huge and heavy car travelling extremely quickly. The steering's power assistance feels positively industrial at times, the suspension damping occasionally runs out of answers on mid-corner bumps and there is a bit of wind buffeting at 70mph.
The ride is also sharp, even on its softest setting, which makes the Bentley galumph over long undulations. Small bumps fizz through the bodyshell and there's a jiggle to the car's progress that rubs the base of your spine against the seat's lumbar support, so that after a long drive you wonder how you managed to get that sore bit on your back.
Inside, the Continental enjoys all the comforts traditional with the marque: fully adjustable leather seats, air conditioning, electric everything and an expensive stereo, although the central-console controls are confusing and difficult to use. There's plenty of room in the front, but this isn't quite the four-adult conveyance that Bentley originally led us to expect. Sit a grown-up in the back, and front-seat passengers are gently pressed against the dashboard. Headroom is limited in the back and you wouldn't want to be stuck there for more than an hour. The luggage space is good, though, with room enough for four medium-sized suitcases.
So how has Bentley managed to offer all this for £110,000?
The car shares its architecture with the VW Phaeton, including the engine, electronics, driveline and multi-link air suspension. Both bodies are stamped out and painted at VW's state-of-the-art Mosel plant in Germany. Phaetons are delivered to the "glass factory" in Dresden, Continentals to Crewe. There is rumoured to be an "escaped" document doing the rounds, showing a breakdown of the internal pricing for the Bentley components from VW. These prices are very low, which might partly explain why the Bentley is so cheap. But it's far from the whole story.
For a start, VW has invested more than £550 million in the Crewe plant, its suppliers and the Continental's manufacturing facilities. Then there's the simply humungous craft content in these cars. New, labour-saving methods are used, but it still takes 18 hours to hand-build and test the W12 engine and the same again to do all the wood veneers over a period of 12 days. It takes 200 hours to make a Continental, compared with 18 hours for a Golf. The finances are not assured here and Bentley will need to fulfil its planned production run, plus make and sell next year's four-door version, if it is to make a success of this venture.
The excitement and enthusiasm over this launch seem to indicate there is a rosy future for this new baby. It is a wonderful car: practical, fast, handsome and different from anything else on the market. No wonder the well-heeled are clamouring for a place on the waiting list. But is it a baby? With a saloon version and possibly a cabriolet, Bentley will have little need for its gargantuan Arnage models any more. Ask high-ups about the future for that model, or a replacement, and they smile enigmatically.
So perhaps we will see Bentley notching down the price range, not building huge, £200,000 behemoths but agile, smaller, cheaper cars such as the Continental GT. Don't spend too long feeling through your pocket fluff and examining that old Post Office savings book, however. The quoted EC Urban fuel consumption on this car is just 10·9mpg and on the Scottish launch we torched an entire 19·8-gallon tank of fuel in just 182 miles. That's 9·2mpg — ouch. It might ride like the wind at double speed, but whatever the talk of this being a bargain Bentley, some things never change. If you need to ask, you can't afford one.
Bentley Continental GT
Price/availability: £110,000. First deliveries in November with a waiting list until 2005.
Engine/transmission: 5,998cc, 12 cylinder petrol (twin 15-degree V6s with 72 degrees between banks) with chain-driven DOHC per bank and four valves per cylinder; 552bhp at 6,100rpm, 479lb ft of torque at 1,600rpm. Six-speed ZF automatic transmission with Tiptronic override. Four-wheel drive.
Performance: top speed 198mph, 0-60mph in 4·7sec, EC Urban fuel consumption 10·9mpg (average fuel consumption on test 9·2mpg), CO2 emissions 410g/km.
We like: Fabulous style, fabulous pace, secure handling, price.
We don't like: Harsh ride, dipsomaniac thirst.
Worth considering: Vauxhall Calibra Turbo 4x4, about £3,500 for a good-condition 1996 P-plate with 70,000 miles. Aston Martin Vanquish, from £158,000. Ferrari 456 GT, from £170,358. Porsche 911 Turbo, from £88,240.

McCandless warns of budget cuts, answers harsh criticism
PITTSFIELD — The fiscal 2017 school budget will include cuts to important programs, Superintendent Jason "Jake" McCandless warned School Committee members Wednesday, saying that reflects a trend among similar size districts around the state.
McCandless also responded to harsh and sometimes disparaging attacks on the level of spending and on school officials in the "blogosphere" and from a former committee member — apparent references to blogger Dan Valenti, former board member Terry Kinnas and others.
During the meeting, McCandless presented figures on average teacher salary, per-pupil spending by school districts and student losses because of school choice departures, which he said counters inaccurate comments about the Pittsfield school system.
"We are not cutting easy things anymore," McCandless said of the ongoing budget process for next year. "We are now choosing between things that are vital."
Rising costs, state aid increases that are smaller than in past years, state and federal mandates and other factors continue to squeeze districts like Pittsfield's with limited potential to raise taxes, McCandless said.
He added, "We know we cannot even provide a level-services budget, based on budget realities."
McCandless said the administration is now preparing the first version of the fiscal 2017-18 budget for the first of the committee's budget sessions Feb. 10. A final school budget is due by May 1.
As was the case when some $2 million in reductions were required last spring despite a tax increase, he said administrators are honing in on the central focus of public education — revolving around "the centrality of the classroom."
That means, he said, looking to expand partnerships begun in recent years with local organizations to provide services the district has traditionally offered, such as teen parent or adult education programming.
Those core services, he said, include books, technology, school building maintenance, well-educated and trained teachers, course variety, safety, and discipline and order.
The focus, McCandless said, has to remain on the district's core mission of giving teachers what it takes to provide quality education in the classroom. But he said there is also "the centrality of the mandate," which requires the district — for both legal and moral reasons — to provide certain services.
On that score, he listed numerous state mandates for special education plans, standardized testing, evaluation of teachers and other administrators and "dozens of bureaucratic requirements" he said he declined to include because of how long that would take.
Kristen Behnke, assistant superintendent for business and finance, reported on the latest estimates for state Chapter 70 aid to schools, saying Gov. Charlie Baker proposes a $122,000 hike for the district. But she said other language in his proposed budget indicates a significant cut in grant funding for kindergarten programming the district received in the past, which had funded teaching positions and other expenses.
McCandless said he wants to "revisit how [state aid to education] is distributed" in the overall city budget, as Chapter 70 funds come first to a municipality, not directly to the school district.
McCandless also said he wants to dispel rumors that Pittsfield school officials are like "Daddy Warbucks throwing money around," adding, "I would like to publicly start the conversation on this."
He displayed state statistics for 2013-14 that show the average teacher salary in Pittsfield schools was $64,762, which ranked 10th of 16 county districts, with Williamstown and Mount Greylock Regional first and second, at $73,965 and $73,305, respectively.
Over the years, McCandless said, Pittsfield's salary average has been "around middle-ish" in the area. The city is "not the league leader in this," he said.
Rejecting harsh criticism of the recently concluded three-year teacher contract — especially concerning the uniform 3 percent annual step raises that were included — McCandless said making the step hikes uniform for the first time will actually save "tens of thousands" over the course of the contract compared to prior varied step raise contracts.
In addition, he said Pittsfield requires 19 annual steps to reach the top salary, compared to 10 or 12 for many other districts.
Examining per-pupil expenditures for the same year, McCandless noted that Pittsfield was at $13,755, below the area average of $14,580. Eight local districts had per-pupil spending figures above $15,000 that year, three above $16,000 and two above $18,000 per pupil.
He said that were Pittsfield to spend to the county average, that would add $12.7 million to the budget, and if to the state average per pupil, that would add $5.36 million to the Pittsfield schools budget.
Responding to criticism of Pittsfield's loss of some $2.5 million in state school aid funding because of students going outside the district — compared to only $500,000 coming in with choice students — McCandless said Pittsfield actually has a comparatively low percentage of students choicing out.
For 2013-14, 13.3 percent of the 6,461 potential students living here went elsewhere to school or were homeschooled, he said. For the other larger Berkshire communities, the percentage ranged from 17.49 to 26.89 percent, according to the figures.
The percentage of possible city students opting for another public school or a public charter school was 8.23 percent that year, he said. Only Dalton had a lower percentage going to other public schools, while other districts ranged from 8.21 to 19.68 percent going to other public schools.
The comparatively high dollar figure of state funding flowing out of Pittsfield is because it is the largest local district with around 6,000 students, he said, adding that Pittsfield compares well to similar size districts in the state.
"I challenge anyone who thinks differently to really dig into the numbers around the commonwealth," McCandless said.

Solo Show: Women in Comedy 2014
Attempting a new solo show for the Women in Comedy festival in Manchester again. 2014's show will hopefully be primarily new material. Better get cracking, I suppose. Here's an attempt at a poster. I'm going for a Rosetta Stone box sort of look. What do you reckon?
The show will utilize some brief accent work but MOSTLY just to segue from one topic to another and to introduce new subjects/bits. It's not a proper accent workshop. Mostly because I suck at accents.

Well, I misspoke. Apparently I cannot resist dipping into the YYK archive at least one more time. Volume three of Hitoshi Ashinano's Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō offers more enigmas and mysteries, but not a lot in the way of concrete explanation. Ah well.

Crown Duel —
Sherwood Smith
Crown Duel, book 1
1997's young adult fantasy Crown Duel is the first novel in Sherwood Smith's Crown Duel series. It was followed by 1998's Court Duel. Both are included in this omnibus. Together, they are part of the larger Sartorias-deles sequence.
Two young aristocrats, Meliara and her brother Bran, learn that King Galdran is planning to break the Covenant with the Hill Folk; he wants to clear-cut the valuable colour trees of Tlanth, Meliara and Bran's domain. The two feel that they must protect the trees, and the Covenant, and the only way to do so seems to be mounting a rebellion against their liege lord. Conveniently, the siblings have been plotting an uprising for some time; Galdran is an all-round bad king and he is comprehensively hated.
Their rebellion is not going well. Potential allies have refused to help; their mercenary army has already betrayed them.
Margin for Mercy
Updraft — Fran Wilde
2015's Updraft is Fran Wilde's debut novel; it is set in the same world as her 2013 short story "A Moment of Gravity, Circumscribed." This is a world where humans live confined to immensely tall bone towers; the ground has been lost, far below and long ago. Travel between the towers is by bridge and by wing. It is frequently perilous. Travelers are menaced, and sometimes culled, by invisible predators called skymouths.
Most of the people of the towers see their traditions and laws as their only protections against a dangerous world. The laws are upheld by the Singers, the autocrats who rule from aeries in the Spire. Woe to the person who willfully or otherwise breaks the law. Punishment will be swift and draconian.
As Kerit Densira finds out first hand.
Forlorn Hope
We All Died at Breakaway Station — Richard C. Meredith
I could have reviewed Richard C. Meredith's 1969 novel We All Died at Breakaway Station in my Military Speculative Fiction That Doesn't Suck review series but … to be honest, I am not 100% sure that it's all that good. It is, however, extremely energetic and it delivers exactly what it promises in the title. Everyone dies.
Humans and the alien Jillies have never truly understood each other. What is clear, following the unprovoked Jillie attacks on humans (which range from garden variety atrocities to full scale nuclear holocausts), is that the aliens do not like us.
Breakaway is twenty-seven light years from Earth. It is an unremarkable but important link in the FTL communications network that connects the Solar System with the Paladine region of the galaxy. It is also a convenient place for Absalom Bracer's convoy—the hospital ship Rudolph Cragstone and its escorts Iwo Jima and Pharsalus—to pause while on route to the advanced medical resources of Earth. It's a good place to die.
It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō —
Hitoshi Ashinano
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō, book 2
I am going to skip my usual practice of giving the publication date of the work I am reviewing because … as much as I hate to shake your faith in me as an all-knowing sage of SFF, I must admit that I am not sure when volume two of Hitoshi Ashinano's Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō was published.
this volume, author Ashinano returns to the twilight world of his
Hasseno, cafe owner and Alpha 7 M2 series robot. We are given eight
short pieces; seven that show Alpha's world as it is, and one that
hints at how it got that way.
Sorry about the tiny cover art. I could not find a larger image.
A Cork on the River of Destiny
A Heroine of the World — Tanith Lee
In Tanith Lee's 1989 A Heroine of the World, Aradia is a child of thirteen when the war begins and her comfortable world disintegrates. She is not much older by the end of the novel, but in just a few years, this former rich girl takes on many identities to survive: a servant, a war-bride, an emperor's mistress. Among others.
Aradia's parents, certain of victory, blithely ride off to war,
leaving Aradia with a cold, unsympathetic aunt. Aradia never sees her parents again. Her father dies in a cavalry charge, her mother in an exploding munitions dump. The conquering Kronians occupy the City where Aradia lives. The aunt commits suicide in despair.
Eugenic Love Story
Courtship Rite — Donald Kingsbury
Donald Kingsbury has been writing science fiction since the 1950s, but he has never been particularly prolific. In fact, over the seven decades of his career, he has published a mere five novels, five novellas, and an excerpt (so far as I know).
Perhaps the most remarkable of his novels is 1982's Courtship Rite (also published under the title Geta). I have a few scars thanks to this book 1, but that is not the only reason it is remarkable.
No sensible person would colonize a world like Geta, given a choice. It is arid, poor in many resources essential to advanced technology, and its native lifeforms cannot be digested by terrestrial life. It promises a short impoverished life and eventual starvation to anyone foolish enough to settle there.
The first colonists—marooned?—came from a starfaring civilization, but even that did not save them. The survivors made some hard choices that let them prevail and persist, in the process losing most of their technology and most knowledge of their past. As far as the Getans know, they were placed on Geta by their god to test them. And their god is not grading on a curve.
The Devil's Left Hand
Silver on the Road —
Laura Anne Gilman
The Devil's West, book 1
Laura Anne Gilman has been a professional novelist since the mid-1990s, so it is indeed odd that I had not read any of her books until now. Her 2015 Silver on the Road is my first.
Sold as a toddler to the Devil, Isobel will soon turn sixteen. Her indenture will end and she will have to make some difficult choices. Should she leave Flood, the only town she has ever known, or should she, like so many others, make a bargain with the Boss?
She could have left. Isobel chose instead to become the Devil's Left Hand.
Psychedelic SF Revisited
The Unicorn Girl —
Michael Kurland
Greenwich Village Trilogy, book 2
1969's The Unicorn Girl is the second book in what the ISFDB calls the Greenwich Village series; it's a sequel to Chester Anderson's 1967 The Butterfly Kid. Rather oddly, it was written by Michael Kurland, not Anderson. One of the defining characteristics of this series is that no two books in it were written by the same author1.
What they do share is a cast made up of the authors' friends, and a plot centering on the endless struggle of futuristic hippies to protect the world.
A year after dealing with the butterflies, the panicked teenyboppers, and the blue lobsters from space, Michael Kurland and friends have relocated to the West Coast. There Michael meets Sylvia, who is distraught over the loss of her unicorn Adolphus. Unicorns may be mythical, but anyone who ever lived in the Village is used to encountering odder things twice before breakfast. Rather than leave Sylvia to search on her own, Michael offers to help her.
Pausing only to draft close friend Chester Anderson into the search, the group sets off in quest of the missing Adolphus. What could go wrong?
Whatever Happened to Lady Ista?
Paladin of Souls —
Lois McMaster Bujold
Chalion, book 2
One of downsides of having other people pick what I read is that not only do I miss perfectly good books that were assigned to other reviewers, but I am often so busy reading what I must that I don't have much free time for unassigned reading. I miss good books that way. One of those books was 2003's Paladin of Souls. This is another novel set in the world of the Five Gods, the world introduced in The Curse of Chalion1. I like Bujold's work; this was a Hugo-winning work; ergo, this was something I wanted to read. I just never found the time.
Until now….
Finally freed of the Golden General's curse and the god-touched madness that afflicted her, Ista tires of the boring, custom-bound life of an aristocratic lady. She seizes on the one avenue of escape that is open to her: pilgrimage.
Christian Dorse is a terrible person but a great protagonist
Lycanthia or The Children of Wolves — Tanith Lee
1981's Lycanthia or The Children of Wolves is one of Tanith Lee's standalone fantasies. It is not one that lends itself to sequels.
Christian Dorse returns to the family chateau. It had been lost to debt by his grandfather and has only now been returned to the Dorse family. The restored owner believes himself In the grip of a fatal malady, and does not expect to long enjoy possession of the estate.
Where Time Flows Lazily
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō, —
Hitoshi Ashinano
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō, book 1
Hitoshi Ashinano's science fiction manga series Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō (Yokohama Shopping Trip Diary; popularly known as YKK) was serialized between 1994 and 2006.
The climate changed and the oceans rose. Humanity's cities have either drowned or have become mere shadows of what they once were. The last remnants of humanity are slowly dwindling away into extinction. The general decline poses many challenges to Alpha Hatsuseno, proprietor of a small coffee shop some distance from the much reduced Yokohama, but she accepts them with inhuman calm.
Alpha, you see, is an android. Humans may be doomed but their technological children are doing just fine. As is the Earth.
(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding
The Stars Change — Mary Anne Mohanraj
The setting of In Mary Anne Mohanraj's 2013 The Stars Change, the world of Pyroxina Major, is a university world. Its combination of multiculturalism and strategic location makes it an academic hotspot. Beings of many races have flocked to the University of All Worlds, there to study and live together in peace. Or at least that's the theory.
First Flinx
Tar-Aiym Krang —
Alan Dean Foster
Pip & Flinx, book 2
1972's The Tar-Aiym Krang was the first in the seventeen to date1 volumes of the Pip & Flinx series, the first book in the more than thirty to date Humanx Commonwealth Universe volumes and as far as I can tell, the very first book Alan Dean Foster ever wrote. That is a lot of firsts for one little book. How does it stand up forty-four years later?
Purchased on a whim by Mother Mastiff, Flinx is, by age sixteen, a talented thief and an experienced street performer. He has no idea that one seemingly minor encounter is going to catapult him from the only home he has ever known into a life of interstellar adventure.
No attorneys/To plead my case
Trouble and Her Friends — Melissa Scott
Melissa Scott's 1994 Lambda-winning cyberpunk novel, Trouble and Her Friends, lives in the intersection of Black-Mask-style mystery and science fiction. It also has echoes of the end of America's fabled Old West, perhaps in ways that were not intended twenty-two years ago.
Convinced that the age of cracking has been ended by the badly thought-out Evans-Tinsdale Bill, Trouble abandons her old online life and her hacker lover, and vanishes into the world of respectability. There she plans to spend the rest of her life living below the law's radar. Cerise joins the forces of sanctioned anti-cracker security, a Henry Newton Brown of the future.
For three years, those plans work.
"decayed, ruinous, romantic, and depressing by turns"
The Book of the Mad —
Tanith Lee
The Secret Books of Paradys, book 4
1993's The Book of the Mad is the fourth and final volume in Tanith Lee's The Secret Books of Paradys series. It is also the first book in this series that prompted me to shout angrily at whoever wrote the cover copy.
The Paris of our real world may be far across the Uchronic seas from Paradys, but Paradys need not feel lonely. Two other versions of the depraved city, Paradise and Paradis, are close at hand. One only need know the correct magical path to walk from one to another.
Alas, at present the only two people who know that secret are Felion and Smara, and they are as mad as they are murderous. They are confined to the Paradys lunatic asylum.
Uncozy Mystery
Farthing —
Jo Walton
Small Change, book 1
2006's Farthing is the first volume in Jo Walton's Small Change trilogy. This short novel was followed by 2007's Ha'penny and 2008's Half a Crown.
If British mysteries are any guide, England's stately homes, rising very so picturesquely out of a verdant countryside, exist primarily to provide suitably isolated locations for spectacular murders, murders sufficiently puzzling to justify the attention of the Empire's greatest minds. Farthing is no exception: not only does it live up to genre expectations by quickly presenting readers with a gruesomely murdered and artistically posed corpse, but the dead man is a man beloved by all England. He is no less than the great Sir James Thirkie, the architect of the peace between Britain and Nazi Germany.
The Future is Furry
Barsk — Lawrence M. Schoen
Lawrence M. Schoen's Barsk: The Elephants' Graveyard was released in late 2015. The lack of lead time did not stop it from snagging a Nebula nomination two months later. I enjoyed large portions of this book, but I cannot fathom why this was considered worthy of a Nebula.
Sixty-thousand years into the future, the Alliance includes four thousand worlds, each teeming with the descendants of terrestrials. Although not, as it happens, humans. Instead, eighty-seven different intelligent species share the galaxy, each of them evolved from a different non-human terrestrial species.
The elephantine Fants are scorned by the other species. Eight centuries ago, the two species of Fant—Lox and Eleph—were given exclusive occupation rights to the planet Barsk. At the time it seemed like a good deal: the Fants got a homeland away from the other species who so loathed them, and the Alliance got access to Barsk's pharmaceutical riches (thanks to the Fants' hard work).
That was eight centuries ago and circumstances change.
The dead man, the teleporter and the bartender
A Hole in Space — Larry Niven
This is my third foray into what I have decided to call "the essential collections of Larry Niven, being an irregular review series I may not even get around to finishing or continuing" (or, as it turned out, tagging or giving its own formal series name in the sidebar).
The actual physical book I am reviewing is something of a mystery, because I have no idea how I ended up with a copy of the 1974 printing of A Hole in Space . I clearly remember that the first Niven book I bought was the 1975 edition of Neutron Star
I liked it enough to snap up all the subsequent Niven collections. The book sitting on my desk is clearly the 1974 printing and was purchased new; both the price and the absence of the distinctive cover format Ballantine/Del Rey used for Niven in the latter half of the 1970 make that clear. Did I buy an old, but previously unsold copy that had lingered on bookstore shelves?
At first I thought that this book might be a relic of the failed commune that trashed my family's farm. (Bad decision to rent to them, bad, bad.) They left behind a lot of junk. My copy of Beyond This Horizon is a hippy relic. But on second thought, I realized that we had cleared away the last remnants of the commune by 1971, or 1972 at the latest. Unless the hippies had developed a time machine just for buying books from the future, this book could not have been left by them. It's a puzzle I will probably never solve.
(Trivial? Well, it matters to me, OK? Provenance is important to collectors.)
This was for many years my favourite Niven collection. Has time been kind to it?
A World Shaped by Magic
The Door into Fire —
Diane Duane
The Tale of the Five, book 1
1979's The Door into Fire is the first volume of Diane Duane's Tale of the Five. As I recall, there were to be at least four books in the series, but as of this posting, only two further volumes, The Door into Shadow and The Door into Sunset, have been published. A fourth book, The Door into Starlight, is mentioned on ISFDB, but only as "unpublished."
In a world where grimdark rules the fantasy bookshelves, this book may seem like an oddly touchy-feely secondary world fantasy. It was even more remarkable back in the Disco Era, when it was first published.
"This life is all we can expect, and (…) it will probably be unpleasant."
The Book of the Dead —
Tanith Lee
The Secret Books of Paradys, book 3
1991's The Book of the Dead is the third in Tanith Lee's The Secret Books of Paradys series. Like The Book of the Damned, it is a collection of short works. Also like The Book of the Damned, it is filled with characters making decisions they probably will regret, for however brief a time remains to them.

Recently moved most of our file shares to a new virtual server "File" running Server 2008 64 bit. I have Access Based Enumeration on and it works great for everyone in the office.
Our shop floor data collectors are running Win98, locked down to run only one application. There is a mapped drive on these systems pointing to the old location, a W2K server. When I remap this to the new server the application hangs and reports network errors. If I pull up Windows Explorer it can access the files with no problem.
The application is no longer supported, to any level of service that I could actually expect an answer anyway.

is the tcp/ip netbios helper service turned on the 2008 server? does the legacy app require a wins server?
Dec 21, 2009 at 11:53 UTC
Just throwing out the first thing that comes to mind - is NetBios turned on on the new server? Win9x relied heavily on NetBios to function, though if it's off on the server I wouldn't expect Win98 to even be able to browse the folder.
Dec 21, 2009 at 11:59 UTC
Im thinking the App might require WINS. Is your DNS on 2008? or is the file server the only 2008 server? Netbios?
If DNS is 2008, then you might need GlobalNameZone.
Dec 21, 2009 at 12:35 UTC
The NetBIOS setting was set to Default. I just switched it to enabled and will give it a shot.
I did also see another thread talking about UAC, I have turned that off too and will reboot overnight.
WINS server is still operational, it's actually the old file server. W98 can definitely browse the folders. DNS is handled by 2 VM's both running 2008, and a Physical running 2000 which is the old file server.
I also found that the RPC Service 'Name service provider' was blank and changed that to Windows Locator.
If I screw with enough things at the same time, will you guys still help me fix it ;=))

I know that in MAC OS 10.6 connecting to a Windows 208 File server, in certain cases, you need to specify the port to connect to.
NetBIOS runs on port 139.
You could try mapping your Win98 machines using \\[servername]:139\[share]
See if that helps at all...

Buffalo Cyber Surge TTX 2014 – Updated and Revised
Buffalo Federal Executive Board and FEMA Region II
Thursday, July 31, 2014 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM (EDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Buffalo Cyber Surge TTX 2014 – Updated and Revised
The Buffalo Federal Executive Board (FEB) and FEMA Region II are pleased to invite you and members of your organization to Cyber Surge 2014. Cyber Surge is a Continuity of Operations based Tabletop exercise that utilizes a Cyber disruption scenario and is designed to test your agency's Continuity of Operations plan.
National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD-51 and the Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20 have mandated continuity requirements for all federal government executive branch departments and agencies. The directives define the necessity for a comprehensive and integrated approach to continuity programs.
Although the directives are required for executive branch agencies and departments, the US Courts, State agencies, local governments, Tribal governments, non-profit organizations, and other non-federal entities are encouraged and invited to participate in our training and exercise program.
When continuity principles and practices are endorsed by an organization, a more rapid, effective, and well-orchestrated response is far more likely.
Exercise Specifics:
This tabletop exercise will take place on Thursday July 31, 2014. FEMA will manage the Exercise facilitation.
Building interagency relationships is an important goal of this exercise. Strong relationships are pivotal factors in any real-world emergency response. Participants will be encouraged to coordinate with partner agencies during the exercise and to interact with them during play. Participating in the exercise assists in pre-event posturing and fosters a safe and efficient response to any emergency.
Exercise Objectives:
1. Evaluate continuity plans and procedures;
2. Explore cyber security threats and effects on agency operations;
A. How will agencies within the Buffalo FEB community make the environment more protective and resilient in a Cyber event?
B. How can agency staff continue operations during an actual Cyber event (what alternatives are available to us)?
C. How will the FEB membership implement effective communication alternatives in a degraded cyber environment?
3. And, build interagency relationships.
Exercise Planning:
FEMA will create and manage the exercise scenario and provide discussion questions that will be used during tabletop play.
Participation in Exercise outside of Buffalo Region
Participation in this exercise for agencies outside the Buffalo Region will no longer be possible. We plan to host a similar exercise in Albany and Syracuse in 2015. Agencies external to the Syracuse and Albany Regions can participate at this time. We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience.
A Hotwash will take place following the conclusion of the exercise.
After Action Report
FEMA will present an After Action Review of the exercise early next fall.
- Buffalo Planning Conference
- Distribute and discuss discussion questions and conduct of the exercise.
- Develop additional discussion questions and expected actions.
Date: June 16
When: 10 am – 12 noon
Where: Buffalo Federal Building
130 South Elmwood Ave

Amid national debate, Syracuse Athletics does not intend to adopt a policy for athlete protests
Courtesy of SU Archives
Last week, Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh applauded Colin Kaepernick in Time Magazine. "His willingness to take a position at personal cost is now part of our American story," he wrote. It reignited debate over national anthem protests, as some argue they are disrespectful to the country.
It's been nearly eight months since Kaepernick first knelt during the national anthem. The former NFL star is still without a team. Whether that's a result of the baggage that comes with his politics or his on-field performance is unclear. But how sports leagues, teams and administrators address athlete demonstrations is still very much alive, Syracuse included.
Last month, U.S. Soccer adopted a policy stating all players must stand for the national anthem or face disciplinary action. At Syracuse, Director of Athletics John Wildhack said this month that SU has not adopted a policy toward protests, nor does it intend to. None of the more than 600 Syracuse student athletes has outwardly protested during the national anthem, either by kneeling, sitting or staying in the locker room. Last fall, Wildhack and each of the coaches sat down and discussed how to address such protests, if they were to occur at SU.
"What we would ask is if anyone did plan to protest," Wildhack said, "they do it in an appropriate manner. We would like an inkling if someone has a concern. We respect their right to exercise free speech."
Wildhack declined to say the steps SU would take if an athlete expressed he or she wanted to protest. Men's basketball head coach Jim Boeheim said last fall that he believes it's important to stand during the national anthem and that he isn't a "protest guy." He said SU players are welcome to talk about it. Football head coach Dino Babers declined last fall to elaborate on the topic.
Jessica Sheldon | Staff Photographer
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Kaepernick and his teammates knelt in protests against racism and police brutality. It sparked a debate that over the last few months has hardly faded. Other NFL players have protested in similar manner. East Carolina University's marching band refused to stand at a football game, and WNBA players and youth athletes alike have knelt in protest.
Bach Avezdjanov is a program officer at Columbia Global Freedom of Expression, a New York City offshoot of Columbia University that studies the implications of free speech. He studies rights and freedoms and said while it is a subjective matter, the consequences of such actions must first be considered. He said only if an act of speech directs violence can it be regulated.
"Symbolic speech is a slippery slope," Avezdjanov said. "It's not about the way you do it. It's what comes out of it in the moment that the speech occurs.
"Teams look at you as a commodity, as a brand," he added. "Anything you do someone might find offensive."
The recent protests conjure those of the 1960s and 1970s, when college and professional sports teams demonstrated inequality. Back in 1972, the Louisville men's basketball team did not leave the locker room for the national anthem. The same year, Northern Illinois's president said "tensions are high" with black students. When UCLA played at Oregon and Cal in 1970-71, large groups of black fans did not stand during the national anthem, according to the Los Angeles Times. And in 1972-73, cheerleaders at Creighton walked off of the court before the anthem and returned when the song ended.
In 1970, a group of Syracuse football players known as the "Syracuse 8" boycotted the football season in an effort to demand change and promote racial equality within the program. Later that year, former Syracuse football and lacrosse legend Jim Brown infuriated the Orange when he supported the boycotters, according to the book "Leveling the Playing Field: The Story of the Syracuse Eight." They signed a petition demanding starting assignments based on merit rather than race and a discernible effort to racially integrate the coaching staff, which had been all white since 1898. Brown backed the players and blasted his old coaches.
Brown also stood alongside Muhammad Ali in the 1960s, when the boxing champion protested going to Vietnam. In 2015, former SU basketball star Carmelo Anthony marched in Baltimore in Freddie Gray protests. And, in November 2015, the Missouri football team threatened to boycott its season.

Nearly all of the major acts of athlete activism are to protest police brutality, criminal justice, education reform or income inequality. Today, across the Atlantic Coast Conference, member schools vary on how they approach athlete protest.
A Louisville spokesman said in an email that the ACC school allows each of its student athletes to protest the way Kaepernick did, though none have done so to his knowledge. Its men's basketball coach, Rick Pitino, said he would discuss any issues with players.
"It's a free country. You just get up there and you just say your piece," Pitino said in October. "It'll go national. And if there is something bothering you socially, go ahead and say it."
Roy Williams, head coach of 2017 NCAA champions North Carolina, switched his view in the weeks after Kaepernick kneeled. The 66-year-old Williams originally was angered, according to CBS Sports. He softened his stance and has said he is open to discussing the topic as long as players notify him beforehand. Williams spoke with his players the day after Kaepernick's first demonstration.
"I told them, 'Come on, tell me what you're thinking, feeling got any questions about it?'" Williams told CBS Sports.
Last fall, Wake Forest held an open forum for all student-athletes. The students decided that it's up to each team whether players can protest by refusing to stand for the anthem. The university has maintained that policy. During the national anthem, the Demon Deacons' men's basketball team interlocked arms.
Even as the 2016-17 athletic year nears its end, the athlete-protest debate persists.
"If anyone is going to choose to protest," Wildhack said, "they really should think, 'What is the appropriate way to do that?'"

Enid Blyton and the Famous Five's Lashings of Ginger Beer!
Recipe by French Tart
By far the most successful of all of Enid Blyton's books, were the twenty-one adventure stories of The Famous Five, who were Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy the dog. The Famous Five characters usually meet up when their respective schools break up for holidays, as the boys go to different boarding schools to the girls. Holidays for the Five consist of either going off on a cycling tour, maybe camping or even visiting strange houses ( castles lighthouses etc etc ). But one thing is for sure, when the Five are about, there is usually an adventure just around the corner! The children's favourite drink was Ginger Beer. It is often quoted that the children drank lashings and lashings of ginger beer. We all know this was never quoted in any of the books but it still seems fitting however, hence my recipe name! Alongside the lashings of ginger beer, The Famous Five consumed vast amounts of sandwiches whilst on their exciting travels! A wonderful old-fashioned ginger beer recipe, worthy of any exciting adventure, discovery or literary picnic!

After decades of going nowhere—and being held in slightly ill repute—the science of anti-aging has begun turning out masterstrokes. I'm talking about resveratrol, an antioxidant substance found in grape skins (and a few other places), that has been shown to block the effects of aging. Antioxidants are essentially precious molecules that stop free radicals in their tracks before they can chew up collagen. The old adage, "a drop of what you fancy is good" is one of my favorite mantras. But would forgoing the actual glass of wine and using the extracts found in grape skins as part of your beauty ritual be savvier?
In 2010, researchers in the US announced that proteins activated by resveratrol appear to suppress Alzheimer's disease in mice (studies on humans found no benefits). Regarding skin care, though, there's been hardly any studies. The craze for resveratrol is fairly recent, so it makes sense that there isn't much research out there yet. But in the interim, what's exciting is an emerging piece of the puzzle—a research study showing that certain botanical antioxidants and our aforementioned resveratrol, may supercharge our usual wrinkle-fighters when worn together at night.
Dr. Joseph Maroon, a resveratrol expert who wrote the book, The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life, and Professor and Vice Chairman of The Department of Neurological Surgery at The University of Pittsburgh, has said that to understand how resveratrol works, you have to understand where it comes from. "Resveratrol is a polyphenols antioxidant and one of 600 antimicrobial compounds known as a phytoalexin, which is produced by plants to protect them from adverse conditions including excessive ultraviolet light, infections and climactic changes," he says. "The big difference is instead of taking supplements or drinking your way to youth, these resveratrol treatments supposedly work by soaking in through your skin."
Bordeaux-based brand, Caudalie, known for its epic wine-based treatments and products, based on Mathilde Thomas family vineyard in Bordeaux, France, was one of the first niche (now mainstream) brands to harness the potent power of the grape. Now, brands as diverse as 100% Pure, Josie Maran, and Apivita are jumping on the grape bandwagon. If you don't fancy passing up a glass of red wine (and why should you), double-up, and use it on your face. Here are a few vine-ripened options I'm digging right now.
Grape Beauty
- A mask that softens, hydrates and reduces the appearance of wrinkles sounds too good to be true, but the Apivita face mask with grape does all of the above. Apivita Express Beauty Mask with Grape ($34.60)
- Formulated specifically to protect against signs of environmental damage and loss of elasticity, this yummy smelling scrub is packed full of protective and nourishing antioxidants. 100% Pure Red Wine Resveratrol Scrub + Mask, Luminous Primer ($35)
- The grape seeds in this oil will cleanse the surface of your skin and help renew your complexion, while leaving your skin nourished and moisturized. Josie Maran Cleansing Oil ($32)
- Your hands will LOVE L'Occitane's non-sticky, intensely moisturizing hand cream with grapeseed and shea butter. L'Occitane Hand Cream ($12)
- Rich in resveratrol antioxidants to help promote beautiful skin, layer this gem under foundation, tinted moisturizer, or use alone for dewy loveliness. Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Serum ($55)

This seems to be where Romney putting his cash...not so much on TV. He will simply outwork them on the ground.
From reports it sounds like there will be more ads as we get closer.....already have ramped that up bigtime. But, a big part of the money is going to GOTV....it's about time we realize how important that is. The Romney campaign may end up being a good RNC case study for what to do.
Yes, the economy is still pretty poor (doing great here in West Texas thanks to oil...but for everyone else not so much).
And many people say how can this race be close.
But, you have to realize how POLARIZED this nation is right now. It is because of this that Obama is doing so well. If we were not so polarized, Romney would have a much easier time. It's not that Americans have necessary agreed with liberalism.
It's that so many are so hardline on both sides that it really keeps the polls tight. Those undecideds are pretty much what we must win, and thankfully our lead with them appears to be growing.

Cycles of Being and Becoming
About a week ago I started to read this review of Looper, knowing it contained spoilers but not (at that point) knowing anything about the film beyond its poster. However, I stopped after four paragraphs plus a spoiler alert, because Aric's comments (and my trust in his judgement) made me decide to see it.
Tonight saw it, and I agree with Aric: it's a very good, very interesting and very thought-provoking film. Yup, Bruce Willis with an Uzi in each hand. Yup, lots of blood (though I didn't find the torture scene at all disturbing on a scale from one to Michael Madsen hacking off a cop's ear). And yay, one of my my and Hilary's favourite pop songs used in a (mild) sex scene. (Nice to know they still play Richard and Linda Thompson in 2044.)
Do see it for yourselves, even if you have already found out how it ends.

1. Coconut Oil.
Use it as makeup remover, it's natural and effective.
2. Save your old mascara brush & use it to apply eyebrow color.
3. Clump-free eyelashes.
Roll the mascara brush over a tissue.
4. Messy self-manicures?
Put vaseline around the edges of the nails before painting to easily wipe away any stray marks without ruining your manicure.
5. Perfect cat eye?
Use a spoon, a credit card or clear tape.
6. Use brown eye liner instead of black to create a more flattering look.
7. Don't have gel eye liner?
Hold the tip of the liner right above the flame for a few seconds, and then test the pencil on the back of your hand before lining your eyes.
8. To get the most out of your mascara, stick in your bra for a few minutes to warm it up.
9. Spray your bobby pins with hairspray before you put them in.
10. Dry your hair with a tee shirt instead of a towel.
11. Frizzy hair?
Use hand cream, apply it to your hands as usual, then run your fingers lightly through your hair, starting in the back. Don't overdo it.
12. Straight hair, NO HEAT!

Andis® UltraEdge Blades
Common Uses
Medium Blade is used for blending necks on show animals.
- Super leaves hair .01" (.25 mm)
- The tips of the Super's teeth are in direct contact with one another. The hair is not combed before being cut. Not for use against the animal's skin.
- Medium leaves hair .09" (2.3 mm)
- Medium blades have offset teeth—hair is combed by the blades before being cut. For blending necks on show animals.
Storing the Clipper and Blades
- Remove blades from clipper.
- Clean blades immediately after use by using a small brush or blowing off any excess dirt or hair. Cover with oil to reduce risk of rust. High carbon steel clipper blades will rust overnight. Rust destroys both edge and polished surface of blades.
- Store clipper and blades away from solvents, chemicals and moisture. Never leave them where they can be damaged by accidental impact.
- To produce a quality of the cutting edge on the clipper blades Premier uses an automated sharpening system for small blades. This eliminates human error during sharpening.
Warning: Clipper blades that have been sharpened by inferior methods or inexperienced people may be damaged to such an extent that they can never be restored to a satisfactory cutting capability. The same is true of blades that have become too heavily pitted by rust.

Amanda Etzkorn helped us when we were starting our non-profit business. It was intimidating to see how much legal paperwork had to be filed; it's way more complicated than filing for an LLC. Amanda would translate lengthy and wordy legal documents into language we could understand. She gave us simple and easy steps to follow to secure our standings with local, state, and federal requirements. Her research was thorough and we felt there was no stone unturned. Amanda also made herself indispensable to us and was there for every little question. I can only hope every relationship with an attorney is as smooth and rewarding as this was.

Amanda went above and beyond the call of duty, she is also an attorney with a good heart. She exceeded my expectations and has raised the bar so high I could never hire anyone else.

Question: A study was done by Australian researchers at Swinburne University
A study was done by Australian researchers at Swinburne University to investigate the question of whether the efficiency of workers with a disability was different from the efficiency of fully a bled workers at a large call center engaged in telephone marketing (source: Are Workers with a Disability Less Productive? An Empirical Challenge to a Suspect Axiom, swin.edu.au). A random sample of 30 workers with disabilities and a sample of 166 fully a bled workers was selected. An efficiency scale was devised to measure performance. If the sample of workers with disability showed an average of 68.4 on the efficiency scale, with a standard deviation of 9.6, and the fully a bled workers in the sample scored an average of 63.1, with a standard deviation of 12.2, build the 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference in average efficiency scores for the populations represented.

I have external alerts enabled and working 100%, but the alarms generated are not being monitored and therefore no email is generated. Is it possible to monitor for external alerts?

Hi Desmond,
A little confused on what problem you're having.
So you have External Alerts enabled and working in Spiceworks.
External Alerts should create alerts from incoming emails (as configured),
and then pass the email along to be parsed by the Help Desk to create a new ticket.
What should be generating an email?
Apr 28, 2010 at 2:06 UTC
Hi Ben,
I would like to receive an email notification when an external alert is received against an asset. At the moment the external alert is created against the asset as expected, but no email notification is sent.
I had a look under Monitoring and could not find a monitor type for external alerts.

When the external alerts email the Spiceworks Help Desk do you see a new ticket created while viewing the Help Desk in Spiceworks,
as expected?

Hi Ben
Yes, but only if it does not match the regular expression configured in external alerts.
You mentioned earlier:"External Alerts should create alerts from incoming emails (as configured)..." I agree and have this part working, but then you also stated that:
"..., and then pass the email along to be parsed by the Help Desk to create a new ticket." This I have not experienced. Where in SW can I configure this?

Sorry its been so long since I responded - I'm not sure how I missed that you replied!
I follow your logic - I actually dug into this last night and have a better understanding of what you're wanting.
After an email is parsed by Spiceworks as an "external alert" it will not be forwarded to the Help Desk to create a new ticket.
I would also love to see the functionality you're wanting added! It would be great if incoming messages created alerts on devices, and then Monitors could notify Admins appropriately of the new alerts (via email).
As it stands you'd have to be closely monitoring your Inventory to catch these alerts in the Timeline, or in an Alerts widget on the Dashboard.
Vote up the spiciness of this Feature Request, to cast a vote for this type of functionality to be added to Spiceworks in the future:
