Rated 5 out of 5 by 5
Rated 5 out of 5 by Praeclarus Tasteful pattern, excellent way to add variety
In a sea of the standard white, blue, light blue, and (even) pink shirts that populate the floors and halls of office buildings across America, a dashing gentleman radiates an aura of quiet confidence while clad gallantly in this quietly distinctive miniature tattersall pattern. Emitting subtle insouciance despite his acquiescence to corporate decorum, sure of his abilities, and thoughtful in his wardrobe, this dapper fellow navigates with equal ease the workplace and after-office bar, every action the living definition of aplomb.

Larry Ferlazzo
SAT vocabulary testing is assessed in several sections of this pre-college exam, although none of sections fall under the actual heading of 'vocabulary'. The College Board SAT, which was first introduced in the U.S. in 1901, has undergone name, grading and category changes several times in the past one hundred plus years. Prior to it currently being named the "SAT Reasoning Test", 2005 was the year it was introduced, these tests were called The College Board (1901), the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test, 1926), and then, in 1990, the SAT was renamed to the Scholastic Assessment Test. This last change was made because of the uncertainty as to the SAT exam actually being able to truly measure intelligence (aptitude). In 1930, the SAT exam was, for the first time, split into two sections, math and verbal. This format continued until 2004. In 2005 it was reformatted into three sections, math, critical reading and writing. This, incidentally, correlates to "the 3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic. Each of these three major sections is divided into three areas. There is also one 'experimental' part, which is not graded and together they're added for a total of ten. The time given for the test is three and a quarter hours. PSAT exams, which are practice tests, are available for those wishing to bone up with actual tests before tackling the real thing. SAT vocabulary proficiency comes into play in two sections that make up the SAT exam, critical reading and writing. Adequate reading comprehension depends quite a bit on the reader's ability to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context in which they're found. The designers of the test know that if a student is going to do well in college that they must have a reasonably good command of English vocabulary. Otherwise, they will be handicapped when it comes to reading through the various textbooks and communicating their thoughts and ideas fluidly. It's important for high school students planning to take the SAT test to start building their vocabulary early on, as this isn't something you can do overnight. One of the best ways to do this is to read, read, and read. Read fiction, non-fiction, newspapers, magazines, online, etc. When you run across words you don't know either look them up immediately or jot them down and look them up later. Spend some time on this EVERY DAY. Make it a habit. Some other things you can do to improve your English vocabulary skills are: Engage in various vocabulary activities such as vocabulary games, quizzes and puzzles Carry a spelling dictionary with you at all times or if you own an iPod Touch/iPhone use our Visual SAT Vocab app Study lists of PSAT vocabulary words which can easily be obtained online Study phonics and Greek and Latin root words Work with an online vocabulary builder Making a determined effort to improve your SAT vocabulary abilities will bring immediate results that will continue to expand daily. Nothing tells more about a person than the words that come out of his or her mouth and any vocabulary improvements you make will pay you back many times over during your lifetime. This is definitely a worthwhile ambition and scoring high on this test will get your collegiate life off to a great start!

Lompoc police are taking precautions Thursday after one of their own supervisors was mentioned in Christopher Jordan Dorner's manifesto.
Captain Don Deming is a former Los Angeles police sergeant. He was an LAPD officer for 20 years before he came to Lompoc about 5 years ago.
There has been at least one media report that Deming was on Dorner's hit list. Lompoc Police Chief Larry Ralston told KSBY that is absolutely not true.
In Dorner's writings, he referred to Deming, who was not named, as someone who could confirm that Dorner was a good report writer when he was with the LAPD.
Chief Ralston said Deming's safety is a priority for his department while the manhunt is still underway.
"We've taken precautions for he and his family. Our police department is on alert for this person. We got pictures distributed to our personnel," said Chief Ralston.
The chief also said his department is in communication with LA police.
Chief Ralston would not say what Deming was doing while the manhunt continues.
At Captain Deming's request, KSBY is not showing his photo at this time.
Offensive or inappropriate comments are subject to removal. To report a comment, please e-mail us at email@example.com, and include the name of the story and information on the comment.

Report Card into Queensland's Finances
15 June 2012 , 4:59 PM by Scott rollinson
"The situation was much worse than we were lead to believe before the election and we've got a job ahead of us if we are to get things back on track", says Queensland's Treasurer Tim Nicholls after reading today's report card into Queensland's finances.
Peter Costello handed in his interim report into Queensland's finances after being commissioned by the LNP Government to audit the books.
The 220 page report doesn't paint a pleasant picture. Costello says urgent fiscal repair is needed with the State currently locked into a debilitation cycle of over-expenditure and ever increasing levels of debt.
So just what will the government do to turn things around?
Queensland's shadow treasurer Curtis Pitt...

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
I got this set in the other day and love them - now I want to order another set!
These work great - I have thick hair and they really hold!!
These are really cute! I love the designs and the color options because you can wear them with any outfit. They are a little bigger than normal bobby pins so that was a little bit hard to get used to, but I like them a lot. Overall good product!
I purchased these because I'm growing out my pixie cut and my hair is starting to get to that point that I sometimes don't like.
These are a good size to hold back my bangs and other longer pieces of hair. They hold pretty well and stay in place all day. Real sturdy workmanship and I think they would last a long time (if I don't lose them first). And a plus for being so cute because I get compliments on them :-D
These hardy hairpins are the perfect pop of color to any outfit. They stay in all day and are easy to remove, if need be. There were 8 in my pack - easy to mix & match or double up on some colors.
Love love love! I never liked wearing bobby pins until I found these! They stay put, and are very affective at holding hair in place. Plus- they are just too cute! Now I actually look for reasons to put in bobby pins.
Cute packaging and designs, but definitely not practical. They hurt and are hard to use. They work, just not comfortably.
These hair pins work great. Most of the bobby pins that I use don't hold very well but these work great. They hold your hair pinned in place for hours without having to re-adjust! They come in all kinds of different colors and patterns! Love them!
these don't come in matching pairs, infuriating my desire to match when i get dressed
also, they break my hair when i'm trying to remove them from my head
I ordered the diamond mosaic ones and absolutely love them. I have very thin hair, but these stay in place really well. I love the colors so much that it's hard to choose just one, so I usually wear a couple together and it always looks great. Love love love these!!!
Most bobby pins fall out or move, these worked great and stayed put all day. Love the designs they come in and won't get lost in my makeup bag like all of my other bobby pins.

We are very pleased to announce that the Sumner M. Redstone Charitable Foundation has donated $650,000, to help us towards our vision of a world without extreme poverty! Mr Redstone's total giving now stands at $2.1 million, due to a previous donation and current pledges. We join Hugh Evans, Founder and CEO of the Global Poverty Project, in thanking the foundation and Mr Redstone, "I am delighted with the continued generous support from Sumner Redstone."
So where will the money go?
Hugh Evans went on to explain, "We have important plans to lead an iconic campaign in New York to coincide with the UN General Assembly meeting in September. His donation will directly contribute to the campaign, helping us call for action from a generation who want to stamp their role in history and are looking to make a huge difference," .
Mr Redstone's previous donation went towards supporting the End of Polio Campaign, which is a partnership between the Global Poverty Project and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In the last twenty years, cases of Polio have been reduced by 99% but continued attention and investment needs to be maintained if it is to be eradicated. Nevertheless, the progress that has been made by the campaign, governments and groups is undeniable. As Mr Redstone says, "It is incredible evidence of what global collaboration can achieve ".

Just wanted to brag on this 4 disc set! I'm so blown away by the sheer number of excellent songs! 43 songs , most artists have trouble putting a disc out there with 10 good songs. There's no filler stuff in here either. All first quality beautiful songs.
My family isn't sick of it yet either. I put all 4 in my 5 disc changer and add another album like The key or High Lonesome Sound to round things out. And of course I've been listening to them all the time! My favorite cd is #2, the groovy one. Vince's vocals are so smooth , the guitar playing is of course excellent and can you believe he wrote or co-wrote it all? I'm Blown Away, totally blown away! anna |

Local motorcycle club hosts 46th annual Diamond Back Hare Scramble races
Spectators lining the racetrack cheer on Jesse White as he competes in the 65cc Mini-Bike race Saturday, April 6. White took third place in the race. Photo by Maddie Musante |
April 16 — The Motorcycle Racing Association of Northern Nevada and the Lassen Diamondbacks Motorcycle Club of Susanville held the 46th annual Diamond Back Hare Scrambles Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7 at the Fort Sage OHV area in Doyle.
Saturday's races featured a six and under Pee Wee race over a two mile course, a seven and older Pee Wee race over a two mile course, a Mini's race over a 17-mile course and a Women's race over a 17-mile course. The Big Bike race took place on Sunday and had riders complete three 33-mile loops to finish.
Approximately 39 riders traveled to Doyle to participate in the races on Saturday and 124 on Sunday. According to KC Pasero of the Lassen Diamondbacks Motorcycle Club, participation was good with riders representing many of the clubs in northern Nevada.
The Diamond Back 100 was the third round of the Motorcycle Racing Association of Northern Nevada's 2013 race series.
The racecourse at the Fort Sage OHV area is known for its sand, whoops, single-track, uphill sections and a notorious downhill section known as "the widow maker."
In the six and under Pee Wee race, Payton Daughhetee came in first place. Ava Delaney got second and Jordan Mass took third.
In the seven to nine Pee Wee race, Camie Ingram won first place. Blair Rankin came in second. Lawson Williams got third and Tristan Morrice got fourth.
In the four-stroke Pee Wee race, Andrew Anderson won first. Anthony Braun got second. Miranda Schlefstein took third.
Ezra Belingeri took first place in the 65cc Mini-Bike race. Mikey Majors came in second. Jesse White came in third.
In the 100cc Mini-Bike race, Austin Serpa took first, Austin Wilson took second and Jonas Thissen came in third.
Katie Rosenquist won first place in the novice women's race. Devynn Muhlenberg came in second and Jessica Machutta took third.
According to Jeff Fontana of the local BLM office there were no issues or injuries, making the event a success from the BLM's standpoint.
The Lassen Diamondbacks Motorcycle Club was founded in the 1970s in Susanville and has sponsored many races throughout the years. The club originally sponsored Enduros, which were races between Wendel and Fort Sage, then began hosting races at the Fort Sage OHV and Dry Valley areas as Hare Scrambles. The local club as been affiliated with the Motorcycle Racing Association of Northern Nevada for the past 15 years.
According to Pasero, the club had a membership of about 20 riders for several years and frequently recruited young riders, but has seen membership decline as riders moved away or stopped riding. Pasero pointed out that current club president, Nick Alosi, has succeeded in recruiting members from the Reno area who want to belong to a smaller, more relaxed club. However, the Lassen Diamondbacks still boast some longtime local riders including Russell Hewitt, Steve Pasero, Justin Pasero, Della Alosi and Scott Maas.

When people get more education, they become more productive and help strengthen the entire U.S. economy. So it is discouraging to see that students from wealthy families are increasingly more likely to graduate from college than are those from poor families. This perpetuates inequality from one generation to the next and limits the economic benefits that could come if a wider swath of the population earned college degrees.
The widening gap in college completion rates is documented in a paper by economists Martha Bailey and Susan Dynarski of the University of Michigan. Looking at children born in the early 1960s, the researchers found that only 5 percent of children from families in the lowest-income quartile completed college, while 36 percent of those from families in the highest-income quartile did.
For children born around 1980, the college completion rate among low-income students rose to 9 percent, but among high- income students it jumped to more than half (54 percent). In other words, over two decades, the college income gap widened to 45 percentage points from 31 percentage points. This widening was observed even after the researchers accounted for differences in students' cognitive skills.
It's tempting to conclude that the advantages of wealth and income have simply intensified, so the odds are increasingly stacked against poorer students. No doubt that's true to some extent, but Bailey and Dynarski show that most of the change has been driven by trends among female students. The gap between rich and poor in both college entry and college completion widened by almost twice as much for women as it did for men. (An astonishing 85 percent of girls born in well-off families around 1980 entered college.)
It can't simply be that wealthy families directly or indirectly buy advantages for their children. If this were the case, why wouldn't it work as well for sons as for daughters?
So what has happened to widen the college gap and what can we do about it?
Bailey and Dynarski focus on two crucial pieces of the picture: inequality in high school graduation rates and inequality in college completion among students who begin college.
Gaps in high school graduation by income, the researchers find, account for about half of the gap in college entry rates. After all, college entry isn't an option for people without a high school degree. Among those who do finish high school, though, the percentage who go on to enter college has risen to about 70 percent among those born around 1980 — up from about half of those born around 1960. So raising high school graduation rates among low-income students could make a difference.
One way to do this has been suggested by the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution: compulsory schooling. In a September 2012 paper for Hamilton, economists Philip Oreopoulos and Derek Messacar of the University of Toronto note that about half of low-income and minority students don't graduate with their high school class. They propose that all states require students to stay in school until age 18. This would at least make more low-income students eligible to attend college.
To be sure, a high school degree won't matter much if the student isn't adequately prepared for college, which is why Oreopoulos and Messacar couple their suggestion with other reforms to improve educational quality. And as I have written before, to get more students to enroll in college, the financial aid process must be simplified.

"HPV vaccine could be given to boys as well as girls in UK," The Guardian reports.
It goes on to say that, "Government advisers are to consider whether the HPV vaccine, routinely offered to girls at the ages of 12 and 13 since 2008 to help protect them against cervical cancer, should also be offered to boys and some men".
The news appears to be based on draft minutes from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The JCVI advises the government on how vaccinations may reduce health problems - and considers the evidence on factors such as the prevalence of diseases, and the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
The latest draft minutes of the JCVI say that as part of its work on the HPV vaccine it agreed that "further work was required to consider a number of key issues", including vaccinating:
- men who have sex with men, if they attend sexual health services
- adolescent males
Boys are routinely vaccinated against HPV in many other developed nations such as Australia and the US. It's clear that officials in the UK would want to understand whether such a programme would be safe, effective and provide value for taxpayers' money.
Who currently gets the HPV vaccine?
A type of HPV vaccine called Gardasil is routinely offered to secondary school girls aged 12 and 13 as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. Gardasil protects against the two types of HPV responsible for more than 70% of cervical cancers in the UK.
Gardasil is not routinely offered to boys. Parents who wish to have their sons vaccinated currently have to pay for the vaccine on a private basis. The complete course of the vaccine requires three doses with each dose costing around £150.
How would boys benefit from the HPV vaccine?
The HPV vaccine should help protect boys against genital warts. Gardasil protects against two strains of HPV that are responsible for 90% of genital warts.
Genital warts are not usually serious but they can be difficult to treat and cause distress.
Some experts have argued that routine vaccination in boys should reduce the number of oral cancer cases.
There has been a sharp rise in oral cancer cases in recent years - from 4,400 a year in 2002 to 6,200 in 2012, according to Cancer Research UK, with two thirds of cases occurring in men.
It is thought that the rise in cases may be associated with high-risk strains of HPV that can be spread during oral sex (in both heterosexual couples and in men who have sex in men).
The link between HPV and oral cancers hit the headlines earlier this year when the actor Michael Douglas allegedly attributed his throat cancer to oral sex.
What is HPV?
The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the name given to a family of viruses. There are more than 100 different types of HPV, with around 40 types that affect the genital area.
Infection with some high-risk types of HPV can cause abnormal tissue growth as well as other cell changes that can lead to cervical cancer.
Infection with other types of HPV may cause:
- genital warts: small growths or skin changes on or around the genital or anal area, these are the most common viral sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK
- skin warts and verrucas
- vaginal cancer or vulval cancer (although these types of cancer are rare)
- anal cancer or cancer of the penis
- oral cancers - cancers that develops on the surface of the tongue, mouth, lips or gums
How is HPV infection spread?
The HPV virus is very common and is easily spread by sexual activity. Half the population may be infected at some time in their life. In most cases, the virus doesn't do any harm because your immune system gets rid of the infection. But in some cases, the infection persists and can lead to health problems.
Although most girls don't start having sex until after they're 16 years of age, it's important that they get this protection early enough and a good time is in the teenage years - getting the vaccine as early as possible will protect them in the future.
Using a condom during sex can help to prevent HPV infection. However, as condoms do not cover the entire genital area and are often put on after sexual contact has begun, they are no guarantee against the spread of HPV.
Is the vaccine safe?
The Gardasil vaccine is thought to be extremely safe; much safer than many of the over-the-counter medications available on the market. For example, a 2013 Scandinavian study looked at the effects of vaccination in nearly a million girls and found no evidence of any link to either short or long-term health problems.
Common side effects of Gardasil include:
- pain, redness, bruising and swelling at the site of the injection
- flu-like symptoms, such as a high temperature and joint and muscle pain
These side effects normally pass quickly.
What happens next?
It appears that The Guardian's story is based on leaked draft minutes from the JCVI.
The JCVI has a reputation for thoroughness so it is unlikely that any changes to the national vaccination schedule will be made soon. Any decision will probably only be made after a careful consideration of the evidence; particularly whether routine vaccination of boys would be a cost-effective use of NHS resources.

How to Write a Poem
Reblogged from Melissa I. Hassard:
First, get a cow.
Why a cow, you ask? Well, it could be a chicken, I suppose, or even a dog. A few deer could wander through. But a poem, especially a first poem, can definitely use the sturdy architecture and sweet domesticity of a cow to build itself around. You can lean against a cow. She won't run away unexpectedly.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas and France manager Didier Deschamps have confirmed that Hugo Lloris is in advanced discussions with Tottenham over a move to White Hart Lane
Tottenham are discussing personal terms with Hugo Lloris and it is up to the French shot stopper to decide on his future, says Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas.A fee has yet to be formally agreed, but the two sides are close enough in their valuations that Spurs have been granted permission to speak to the French number one.
"We were close to Tottenham and the decision is now up to Hugo, who must have had a number of contacts with the English club," Aulas told the club's official website.
8/1 | Tottenham are 8/1 with William Hill to beat Norwich 1-0 on Saturday |
"This transfer can be done at the end of the transfer window."
Aulas also inferred that Lyon's current financial constraints, and a need to trim their wage bill, have factored into their decision to allow Lloris to leave.
"Would it be better for us to see him leaving? Since we have an objective to reduce the wage bill, this transfer enters in our programme," Aulas continued.
"But if he stays here, we will be very happy."
France manager Didier Deschamps, who played in the Premier League briefly with Chelsea, has also revealed that he has discussed the move with Lloris.
"I talked with him by phone," Deschamps said. "He has a choice to make between Lyon & Tottenham. I talked with him but what was said concerns just me and him. He has until Friday to decide, we will see."

Ask for a proposal. Recommendations and reputation count for a lot, but with business each scenario is unique – just because a particular firm worked wonders for one project, doesn't mean they will be as successful with yours.
Meet one-on-one. There's no way for a business consulting firm to deliver good results without knowing their client. If they send over a proposal without meeting you, consider your other options. Be sure to search for local Annapolis business consulting firms that have skill sets that suit your needs and their goals are in line with yours.
Golden rule: when a decision has been made, put everything in writing. Protect yourself; disclose time frames, payment details, deadlines, and have an escape clause in place.

ISSUE:Benemerenti Medal conferred
OUR VIEW:A well-deserving person, indeed
The most impactful servants are often those who selflessly seek to help others without a desire for public recognition and acknowledgement. The blessing of seeing another's need met is credit enough for them. Even so, it's still nice to have ones' efforts acknowledged.
For one humble local servant, this deserving acknowledgement came all the way from the Vatican.

California's Kenwood Vineyards has released a new line of wines, but consumers won't be able to find it in stores -- even though the wines are made in large quantities and are distributed nationally.
Sonoma Valley-based Kenwood -- maker of highly rated Cabernets, Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs and Zinfandels -- has produced four wines specifically for the restaurant and hotel market. The winery's new Yulupa series includes a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Chardonnay and a Merlot from Sonoma County and a Zinfandel from the Lodi district in the Central Valley. Yulupa is the name of the Sonoma vineyard from which the Chardonnay and Cabernet (the line's first wines) originated.
Why produce restaurant-only wines? Kenwood's official statement is that the new series was an effort to increase the brand's visibility in this market, and the wines will be priced to encourage by-the-glass sales at about $6 to $7 per glass. Customers may be more likely to buy a wine by the glass at a restaurant's marked-up price if they don't know how much the bottle would cost at retail.
Kenwood's new releases include the 1996 Yulupa Cabernet (85 points), a blend of 70 Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 percent Cabernet Franc and 8 percent Merlot from Sonoma County. It was aged in French and American oak barrels for 22 months, and 11,800 cases were produced.
The other wines, not yet rated, are each made entirely from a single varietal: 1997 Yulupa Chardonnay, made from Sonoma County grapes (20,000 cases); 1997 Yulupa Merlot, from Sonoma County's Dry Creek, Sonoma and Alexander valleys (25,000 cases); and 1997 Yulupa Old Vine Zinfandel, from two turn-of-the-century Lodi vineyards (15,575 cases).

Lowering Cholesterol
Jun. 29, 2010
A well-rounded cholesterol treatment incorporates the body's need to keep inflammation down and cholesterol numbers in a healthy range. Learn effective ways of lowering cholesterol levels.
- Have a sense of humor! A good laugh can send up to 20 percent more blood pumping through the body.
- Due to work-related stress, you're most likely to have a heart attack on a Monday than any other day of the week! Try stress-relieving activities (like yoga or mediation) on this day.
- Men and women have different heart attack symptoms, and it's actually more difficult for women to tell when they are having an attack. Women who feel faint or short of breath should call 911.
- Don't light up. Quit smoking, and you'll cut your risk of coronary heart disease by 50 percent in just one year.
- Steer clear of smokers. Approximately 38,000 people die each year from heart and blood vessel diseases caused by secondhand smoke.
- Don't have time to fit in a full 30-minute workout? Try to fit in three, 10-minute sessions instead. Both provide the same benefits for your heart.
- Eat a diet low in these three nutrients: fat, cholesterol, and salt. They contribute to high cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Heart disease is the single biggest killer of both men and women. The best prevention tool is a healthy lifestyle and an annual doctor's appointment.
- Lack of sleep can lead to irregular heart function. Aim to get seven to nine hours!
- Get up from your desk. People who sit hunched over their computer for most of the day are 54 percent more likely to die of heart attacks.
- A broken heart can literally increase one's risk for heart attack. Heal after a break-up by taking time to grieve and then surrounding yourself with positive friends.
- Wash dinner down with wine – but just one glass! Scientists have found that moderate amounts of red and white wines can be helpful in preventing heart disease.
- Big hearts really do exist. But they're not a sign of greater affection -- they indicate an increased risk for heart disease.
- Say "yes, please" to potassium. Loading up potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, and other potassium-rich foods can lower blood pressure by 10 points, according to a recent study.
- Get full off fiber. This heart-healthy nutrient can reduce blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Aim for 25 grams per day.
- When going out to eat, be wary these words: fried, au gratin, crispy, scalloped, pan-fried, sautéed, buttered, or creamed. They usually mean this dish is packed with heart-harming saturated fats.
- Be berry merry. Ladies who ate three or more bowlfuls of berries (specifically blueberries and strawberries) per week cut their of heart attack by approximately 30 percent.
- Eat chocolate. Indulging regularly could reduce your risk for heart attack by roughly 37 percent. Just keep the chocolate dark (more antioxidants) and the portion small (one ounce).
- Say Namaste. Yoga can help reduce irregular heartbeats.
- Eating well and exercising regularly has a greater impact on your risk for heart disease than your family history.

Are there online resources or books that you would recommend as an introduction to PowerShell scripting? The resources I've found primarily focus on interactive use.
closed as off topic by sysadmin1138♦ Oct 10 '12 at 21:56
Questions on Server Fault are expected to relate to professional server, networking, or related infrastructure administration within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Book-wise, I recommend both Windows PowerShell in Action by Bruce Payette and Windows PowerShell Cookbook by Lee Holmes. Payette's book is more of a deep dive into how PowerShell works, and the "Cookbook" is all about solving specific problems. | |||
I found this site: http://www.powershellpro.com/powershell-tutorial-introduction/ which seems to have some good information (via the links on the right sidebar). | |||||
I was going to say the PowerShell Guy. Cannot go wrong with a MVP. | |||
You might look at a couple of the free e-books available as well, such as the two listed below. Effective Windows Powershell and The eBooklet Series: An Introduction to Microsoft PowerShell | |||
I liked these two books:
Also, check out these sites: | ||||
I would recommend the following eBooks and eBooklets:
| |||||
PowerShellCommunity.org is a portal to all kinds of PowerShell resources. | |||||
Try the Scripting Guy http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/sept06/hey0926.mspx | |||
Ars technica has an introductory article from when Powershell was still in beta and called Monad. It covers most of the basics and was a good starting point for beginners. I also found dzone's Powershell cheat sheet handy. | ||||
Take a look at www.powershell.com. They have a very good and a comprehensive free e-book called Master-Powershell | |||
You can get started now with a free eBook titled 'Mastering PowerShell'. The eBook was written by long time Windows PowerShell MVP Dr. Tobias Weltner and can be found on www.powershell.com in HTML or as a downloadable .pdf. Look for an updated version of Mastering PowerShell on www.PowerShell.com very soon. The updated eBook will include Windows PowerShell v2 information and will be free to all members of www.powershell.com (membership to the community site is also free). | |||
It might be worth concentrating on Powershell 2.0 as it will be released soon. The CTP is currently available, more information here. | |||
I strongly recommend #powershell on the FreeNode IRC Network. Several of the MVPs are in regular attendance and questions tend to get quick and excellent answers that include not only how by why. | |||
The PowerScripting Podcast is pretty good; polished and listenable. I second PowerShell In Action, too. Great book. We are starting a Script Club here, too - getting together and scripting with a bunch of other geeks is a great way to bounce ideas around and learn. The BEST way to learn is to get your hands dirty. Pick a task and work through it, Googling as necessary. As new as PowerShell is, there are TONS of great blogs and resources out there. | |||

FFXIII and FFXIII Versus official sites go Live
Square Enix has launched the official websites for its so-anticipated-it-hurts RPGs Final Fantasy XIII and FFXIII Versus.
The Versus site is a little threadbare at present but the main FFXIII site is full to the brim with high resolution images meaning that scans are just a thing of the past.
Looking very good indeed, but then again, it has from day one. Just release it already.
Final Fantasy XIII is out for Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year whilst FFXIII Versus remains a Sony exclusive.
Thanks, PS3F.

FFXIII Versus trailer supposedly leaked
Finalfantasy-XIII.net is apparently carrying a leaked trailer of FFXIII Versus. We say "apparently" because the site's properly snapped at the moment, presumably from people like us repeatedly pressing F5.
So good luck with that.
Update: We've watch it now. It's spectacular. Take a look.

Get into Recession Mode
While the data may not say that we are officially in a recession, the markets and components like gasoline demand say that we are already in one. In fact if you really want to get an idea of real consumer confidence, it is in the gasoline numbers that tell you the real story.
Yesterday the MasterCard Spending Pulse reports laid some numbers on us that was even more, perhaps, disturbing than any of the other data that we have seen so far. The report showed that gasoline demand had the largest year over year drop since last April as the economy seemed to grind to a halt. Now some may want to blame the extremely hot weather but the truth of the matter is that gasoline demand, as judged by a moving 4 week average, has fallen a whopping 19 weeks in a row. In fact if you chart this drop it almost reflects the way the US economy has fallen off a cliff. Well maybe not a cliff, perhaps just a hill. MasterCard said that weekly gas demand hit a very weak 9.274 million barrels a day and fell a whopping 3.1% from a year ago. Demand on a four week moving average is down 1.9% from a year ago. These are facts that reflect a new round of economic misery for many red-blooded, gas-guzzling Americans.
That misery may be showing up in the supply numbers as well as the API that reported a big build in crude oil supply. The API reported a sizable build in crude stocks of 3.3 million barrels and an increase in gas stocks of 2.5 million barrels and distillates makes it a clean sweep with an increase of 1.4 million barrels. Supplies in Cushing, Oklahoma also rose in a market that was supposed to be impacted by tropical storm Don. All this data points towards a recession and the trade went in risk-averse mode. Despite the fact that two credit agencies put the US debt outlook on a negative watch, bonds soared and so did gold to record highs. Money ran to the safe haven currencies and the Swiss franc hit a new post Euro high against the Euro and the yen soared as well. Overnight the Swiss and Japanese warned of intervention and there is word that the Swiss followed through. Obviously there are risks of more intervention by those banks that are fearful of what a strong currency may do to their respective economies.
All the while this is going on, Obama and Tim Geithner have the audacity to blame our current problems on the recent debate over the debt ceiling. The President said that this debate was not what the economy needed. No, it is exactly what it needed! He said, "Our economy didn't need Washington to come along with a manufactured crisis to make things worse. That was in our hands. It's pretty likely that the uncertainty surrounding the raising of the debt ceiling for both businesses and consumers has been unsettling and just one more impediment to the full recovery that we need and it's something we could have avoided entirely. So, voters may have chosen a divided government but they sure didn't vote for dysfunctional government. They want us to solve problems, they want us to get this economy growing and adding jobs".
Obama also used what has become the new Democratic buzz word "manufactured crisis." The truth is that what created this is Washington's insatiable appetite to spend. Tim Geithner, who set the date of August 2, still does not get it. Blaming the debt ceiling debate on the recession is like trying to blame the flight of a mosquito for creating a hurricane. He had other excuses like when he said that, "In the last few months, the economy has had to absorb an earthquake in Japan, the economic head winds coming from Europe, the Arab spring and the rise in oil prices, all of which have been very challenging for the recovery." So yes, this was a manufactured crises. Manufactured by Obama and his administration who passed a healthcare bill no one understood or even read, and moved to the largest regulation over-reach in our nation's history. Their lack of understanding of what actually caused the financial crises in the first place is utterly astonishing. Obama wants to raise taxes on energy which accounts for 7% of our nation's GDP and energy has been begging to add jobs but are thwarted at every turn by Obama and his cohorts. Raising taxes on the energy industry will force more layoffs in an industry that may face declining demand.
Shale gas could be part of our nation's energy answer! Instead of Obama standing in the way of real progress, the energy industry should be allowed to expand in areas where actual answers for our nation's energy independence may lie. Raising taxes will only have the unemployment lines grow longer and make any recovery further away. Let our energy industry create the real energy source of the next generation and not throw hard earned tax dollars at pet people and pet projects of the Obama administration used only to secure more votes. Obama and his cohorts are piling onto the energy industry while they are showing signs that they are not recession proof. If the government does not get off the energy industries back they will shed jobs instead of adding them. In fact due to weakening demand tanker rates are declining. Some are scrapping tankers and will melt them down from parts. Why try to sink the one industry the that is begging to create high paying jobs.
