Rated 5 out of 5 by Ibelieve from Perfect for homemade ice cream! My husband makes ice cream for every family gathering and these are the best containers we have found for storage. There is enough room to get that perfect scoop. The containers are durable and stackable. The ice cream stays nice and does not get icy. Highly recommend.Date published: 2019-07-08Rated 5 out of 5 by deez from Perfect for Ice Cream I purchased several of these and they are a perfect match for my Breville Ice Cream maker I also purchased from Williams Sonoma. The container conveniently comes apart so that in inside of the bottom half can be washed and dried before the next use, this is especially helpful when condensation forms between the main container and the insulated bottom half. They make great gifts when filled with homemade ice cream!Date published: 2019-06-14Rated 1 out of 5 by Aperturienne from No, I cannot recommend I bought this item a few months ago, and I have used it literally 3 times. The third time I washed it water got into the insulated area, and now it will not dry. The product is not sealed well. I washed by hand and did not submerge in water.Date published: 2019-03-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Shay from Better than the reviews! If you know how to put a lid on a container, you will be fine. Great product! Maintains ice cream quality for weeks.Date published: 2019-02-04Rated 4 out of 5 by Cory from Excellent Ice Cream Storage My wife and I have been searching for a good solution to storing homemade ice cream. We bought both sizes and love them. They store and stack well and the lid stays secure. One word of caution though: our last batch of ice cream was solid and hard to scoop so I used my metal scoop that i soak in hot water. In the process my metal scoop slipped and hit the inside layer of the carton and cracked it open. My plastic scoop likely would not have broken the container.Date published: 2019-01-15Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsG from Works very well! A family member recommended this product to me since we both make our own ice cream for our families. I have the 1-1/2 qt & the 2-1/2 qt and they are always in use. I have washed them by hand & in the dishwasher (without heated dry) without any problem. Just as I keep my ice cream mixer bowl in the freezer before use, I put these containers in the freezer before use. So, when I put the ice cream in them they are already cold & they keep a tight seal. They fit and stack easily in the freezer.Date published: 2018-10-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Maddys nan from I love this! I purchased one a few months ago. I was leery do to some reviews. It keeps ice cream fresh, easy to dip and lid fits perfectly. I'm now buying a second tub and will most likely buy a third.Date published: 2018-07-06Rated 1 out of 5 by nadomom from Doesn't close tightly The Pros- Great insulation The Cons- Lid does not seal. I have 2 of these ice cream storage tubs and neither seals completely in the middle. Serious design flaw. I wind up using bands to keep a tight seal so ice cream does not form crystals. On the positive side it does keep frozen deserts frozen and shape is perfect for fitting into my side by side fridge. There must be a better product out there.Date published: 2018-04-14
What color is the lid?Hi jcc15, The lid is white. We did sell a version with the red lid last Summer. We are in the process of removing the old images from the product page.Date published: 2019-05-11

In this twelfth installment of the award-winning series set in the South Carolina Lowcountry, Bay Tanner finds herself at the center of her own mystery when she becomes the object of a stalker. The strange, almost childish messages appear at random and quickly escalate from mildly annoying to frightening. While her apparent admirer ramps up the pressure, the inquiry agency accepts a new client. Hub Danforth wants his aging uncle, owner of a dilapidated bungalow on a beachfront property worth millions, placed under surveillance. Malcolm St. John has been acting strangely, and Hub hopes Bay and her associates can help him prove the old man incompetent, paving the way for Danforth to assume control of his assets. Although he claims he has the old man's interests at heart, Bay begins to have her doubts, especially when she discovers a large real estate conglomerate, headed by Danforth's ex-wife, also has designs on the valuable property.

The best impact driver on the market is a must-have and/or would-like-to-have automotive tool. It may be a small tool but it can handle big jobs. It uses a clutching impact mechanism that creates rotational force. This tool produces more torque than a cordless drill. With that

On the band personnel front, the big news is the departure of founding member "Champagne" James Robertson. After 4 1/2 years of awesome playing and great shows, James has decided to move on and focus on electric guitar playing as a sideman with the likes of Lindi Ortega and Bellestar. We are sad to see him go and wish him well. We will remember fondly the awesome times we had making music together.
That's where the bad news ends, though. We hope you'll join us in welcoming new member Anthony DaCosta to the NCR fold! He's an accomplished songwriter (2007 winner of both the Kerrville and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Songwriters' competitions). He has opened for Nick Offermann, Suzanne Vega and Loretta Lynn. As a guitar player, he has played clubs and festival stages all over the world (including the Conan O'Brien show) with a variety of groups. He is a singular talent, a great guy and we can't wait to play our music with him. The feeling is mutual – he's been eating and breathing NCR for the past month and we are itching to hit the road with him!
Check out a brand new Southern Souls session with Anthony on guitar!

Brave New World
Chapter 4: how do the other Alphas relate to Bernard ?
Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Although Bernard is incredibly intelligent he suffers from a lack of self-esteem. He is not physically perfect as the others seem to be. While Other Alpha's like Helmholtz Watson find the system awkward, Bernard simply doesn't fit. Where the Director claims to have eliminated love and non-sexual intimacy, Bernard longs for such feelings. Helmholtz Watson is the Alpha specimen that Bernard wants to be. He is tall, good looking and women are crazy about him. Helmholtz Watson can't understand Bernard's frustrations. Although they speak together intellectually, there is a decided gap in their personal experiences. Where Helmholtz Watson can play his role as an Alpha, Bernard doesn't know where to begin.

|Cultural interest
|Asian American
|United States
|Mission statement
|"To further the awareness of women in Asian culture"
|Vision statement
|Unity, Friendship, Leadership, Service
|Green and Gold
|1,000 lifetime
Sigma Omicron Pi (ΣΟΠ) is an Asian American interest sorority. Founded in 1930 at San Francisco State University, the college social organization has chapters on 12 campuses in the United States. The stated objective of the sorority is to "further the awareness of women in Asian culture" and "to promote unity, lifelong friendships, leadership, and community service".[1]
In 1930, ten Asian American women came together on the campus of San Francisco State University to form a sorority for women of Asian heritage, the first Chinese sorority at that campus.[2] Their educational focus on pedagogy informed the early activities of the group, as they relied on the constitution of an educational honor society in forming their own and adopted the Greek letters Σ, Ο and Π for their fledgling sorority.[3]
According to the organization's website, ΣΟΠ remained in operation "for the next 15 years" but became inactive "at the advent of World War II".[3] At some point between the declaration of war by the United States in December 1941 and 1945, ΣΟΠ went dormant, but it was revived on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley in 1946. The educational focus of ΣΟΠ fell away, but the primary purpose of providing fellowship and philanthropy for and among Asian American women - of many Asian backgrounds - as well as providing cultural awareness about them has remained. In 1994, the sorority created an Inter-Chapter Council with six elected officers to help unite the various groups.
Campus representation
The sorority has presence on the following college campuses:

Shouldn't all fountains be left on in the winter to look this beautiful?
Capital Projects Department tackled that problem by "winterizing" the Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain, located on the park's aptly named Fountain Terrace.
The installation of radiant heaters in the plumbing chamber beneath the fountain makes it possible for us to keep the water running year round, without worrying about damage.
Not only does the icy fountain complement the park's winter amenities, Citi PondSM and The Holiday Shops, it's also one of the most popular spots in the park for a photo op on freezing cold days.
Thanks to Tamara who mentioned our fountain on her blog and inspired this post!

Follow link to read whole feature; here is just the last paragraph:
"The Spiritualaires mix and match genres, borrowing from the blues and drawing from jubilee and Golden Age styles. This album has a remarkably relaxed vibe to it; it's truly a one-of-a-kind recording -- and I wouldn't mind hearing many more of its kind! The release does raise one question, though: How many more awesome and unheard gospel acts are out there singing on the radio and in churches? I'm confident there are at least a couple dozen still going strong -- and that CaseQuarter is already out there looking for them." - Michael James McGonigal
KFJC Radio
"I think we've all spent some time in our own private Hurtsboro? Even as a charismatic agnostic, this gets an "Amen" from me. Gospel, like its savior, works in mysterious ways…and genres. It can draw strength from suppressed sexuality via soul, it can get earthy in a country vein (like a miner baptised in a coal mine). Or, as the Spiritualaires do, it can dig deep inside via the blues. If you are in pain, something about a profound bass vocal gives you a rock to build from, fill that out with some sweet harmonies but don't rush things. Let the notes and the pain linger, just a bit. Add in slow clap, it help with the weariness. Not too fast, now. Guitarist Curtis Harris testifies in tight spots here as well, delivers his own slow-mo Mali style fretting…you could plug him in next to Tinariwen and not miss a beat. Radio fans do not miss tracks #3 and #8, clips from the Spiritualaires Radio Program! "If that car run good and look bad…bring it on in…he'll make it look good." Sounds like a modern-day miracle worker to me! KFJC should do all our underwriting in Spiritualaires style. "Some Folk Say" brings in a falsetto voice, and a peppier beat, and almost tastes like a hootenanny. While I may reserve judgement regarding the big If in the sky, I'm fine worshipping the pride and joy of Hurtsboro." - Thurston Hunger
"Free from artifice or avarice, their music works like spirit-cleansing sacrament, the ingestion of which induces instant feelings of brotherly love. Spinning the disc on a morning commute, I consequently found myself joyfully singing and clapping along. This music has that sort of spontaneously rejuvenating effect and whether the words reach you on a devotional level or a visceral one, it's intoxicating stuff. The prolonged gestation periods that are common for CaseQuarter projects may test the faithful's patience, but darn if this disc doesn't make it three for three on their scripture-conscious scorecard. - DEREK TAYLOR
Highest Rating: 4/4 Bunnies
"As one of the last remaining quartets from gospels golden age, these old-timers from Hurtsboro, Alabama lay out their songs with languid soul. The harmonies are magical, and the guitar playing is perfect. This is the best hangover music of the 21st century, by far." - Leopold Froehlich
THE NEW YORK TIMES (Easter Sunday, April 8, 2007)
"Singing Songs of Praise is the first album by the Spiritualaires of Hurtsboro, Alabama, a gospel group whose members have been singing together for half a century. Studio sessions from 2004 are interspersed with songs (and commercials) from the Spiritualaires'
long-running Sunday-morning radio show. The sound is sparse, five voices backed only by an electric guitar, in music that encompasses sustained close-harmony songs, a bluesy shuffle and even a country gospel song. And the very basic recordings make the Spiritualaires sound eerie as well as devout." - Jon Pareles
Above is a link to the May 2007 archive; click and scroll on down the page for another expert review by Bob Marovich.
"The album production is highlighted by the slow, ghostly pitch-perfect harmonies of the group, but what really sets this recording apart is the firm, rhythmic bluesy guitar playing of Curtis Harris, which is the lone instrumental accompaniment on the record. His playing is firmly rooted in the Lightnin' Hopkins tradition of boogie pickin', which, as we all know, is the root of most modern American music. Elements of blues, country, and early rock 'n' roll are all weaved into the vocal tapestry as well. It's pretty astonishing to hear how many musical references are contained within this framework, and it's a joy to finally have this music recorded for all to hear." - [DH]
"Radio has always been the step between books and TV, before, that is, TV took over both the imagining and the sound. This CD is a program of spirituals from one of the last a cappella gospel quartets from the '50s recorded from radio broadcasts and some studio sessions. What sets this CD apart from the more modern recordings of such groups is the lack of high tech production values and the inclusion of a couple of tracks where the group and announcers welcome the audience and advertise their sponsors. Such 'down-home' vibes contribute to a warm, welcoming ambience that sets off a stellar gospel set that reaches deep into a tradition that formed much of the music we listen to today. The inclusion of a blues-based guitar in this context also throws some surprising light onto the common home of two previously exclusive genres. A solid, plain solo on "I've Got Somewhere to Lay My Head" spells out the connection that instrumental soloing had with vocal expression. For a more modern connection check out Cobain's solos on any Nirvana track -- he's basically copying the vocal line. The blues and gospel have often been uncomfortable with each other but on this recording have reconciled their differences and come together in praise." - Nilan Perera
The Spiritualaires of Hurtsboro, Alabama Singing Songs of Praise
"Rarely do you get more info than that in a group name and LP title. That's who whey are, where they're from and what they do. The Spiritualaires are one of the last old style gospel groups, with a six decade career, still performing and hosting a weekly radio spot. Six decades. You bet they had time to get their singing down, and they have. One of the unique aspects of their sound is the spare, bluesy electric guitar accompaniment under the vocals on some songs--a really cool, rough sound that sets it apart from the soulful vocals. Sends chills up my spine. Most of this CD was recorded by Richard Young at LeElAn Studios in Montgomery, Alabama, in one day, plus four songs were recorded during their radio show on WBIL AM in Tuskegee, Alabama by Steve Grauberger. The studio tracks have a definite room sound--you feel you're in a room with these guys singing live. The radio perfromances have a slighty rougher sound, and quests come in and out so you even hear the doors squeaking--a touch I kinda liked to be honest! I really like their shout outs to their sponsers. If you think about it, isn't it one of the highest callings of recording being able to capture something like this--a group of impassioned men singing their hearts out and preserving it for posterity?" - Larry Crane

Welcome to our customer feedback page!
If you would like to submit a review, please send your feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com
I recently ordered one AV camera cable, one USB camera cable for a Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi camera that is out of production. I am thankful to find accessories still available. So, thank you for maintaining a comprehensive stock of accessories.Sincerely,Ralph
Thank you again. You were the second place I order this charger from but YOU were the only one who inquired about your product and I am GLAD that you did. Great customer service. I will tell my friends about you.Blessings, Renée
Hello!I just wanted to say how happy I am about my recent order. I ordered a USB Cable for my Canon camera and it's wonderful. The cable arrived before the estimated delivery date, so thank you for the fast and reliable service. I will definitely recommend your site to friends and family.Looking forward to doing business with you again!Craig
I went into Best Buy to purchasea 30 foot HDMI cable and was shocked at the price $398 dollars and I needed two that would have come to $786 in other words a lot of money. I spoke to a friend of mine in NY and he told me of D Cable so I went of line and found D Cable and the price was only $39.99 for one. So I called to talk to someone and they told me about the cable I needed for 3D . The cable came and was installed on my TV. Well let me tell you it works great not one problem.Thanks D Cable.Herman
After going to several local stores and being sold the wrong cable, I found your website. You sent me the correct cable the first time, and shipping was extremely fast. I am very pleased with your company and will recommend you to everyone I know. Thank you for doing such a great job!Sincerely,Harold
Dear DcablesI bookmarked your site and will use it for all my cable needs. The USB (male) to USB (male) 15ft long cable was not available locally anywhere (physically checked 6 places) but you had it and at an unbelievably low price. The price from BestBuy for a 6ft was over $30. , while your price for 15ft was under $3. I thought it must have been a miss-print but sure enough it was correct. The shipping was extremely fast and service great. I only wish I had found your site years ago.Thanks,Bob
Just want to let you know that you were terrific at getting me this cable for my Nikon Coolpix S8100 camera. Still am having a hard time believing Nikon doesn't include this in the box nor do they offer it as an accessory. It is essential to displaying high resolution images directly from the camera to an HDTV unless I'm missing something. Anyway, it's exactly what I was looking for and had a hard time finding. It performs beautifully. Ranks up there with the best $10 I ever spent! From my experience it seems you folks have it together all the way from product design to customer service.Thank you.Rick
I was very impressed with the quick service from you company. I would recommend you to any one that needs new cables. Thank you.I couldn't believe how fast I received my cables.Judy
I did receive my order and am quite pleased. The camera I ordered it for was given to us without any accessories and I need the cable to download photos stored in the camera's memory that were taken before we got a memory card for it.It is always a pleasure doing business on-line with reputable companies such as yours!Lynn
Dcables..I finially got the cable I needed after getting 2 different ones elsewhere. You not only had what I needed it was sent right. So glad to have the right cable for my camera.Delma
Thank you very much for sending the exact cable that I ordered in a quick and timely manner. You are a #10 on a scale of 1-10, #10 being the very best rating.Dan
I received my order today and everything works great. Will do business with your company again if I need your product.Thank you very much for your help.Charles
Cable does work. I would definitely recommend your company for anyone seeking a product that you have. You deliver quickly and customer service is top notch.Stephen

I am extreemly happy with the experience. I received my items quickly and the price was great. the website was excellent. I have already told several others that your site is the place to go for cables etc. thanksSue
In today's world there is no such thing as "good karma". Service is a lost word and to be conscientious is out of the question. I've been around a long time (78 years (today, in fact)) and it is refreshing to know that there is still someone with the virtues I grew up with. I am completely satisfied with the cable you provided and especially with the expertise and effort you put forth. It was worth a lot more than I paid. Thank you and good luck.Chuck
Service was excellent and quality of product just as described. Order was sent right on time and received shortly thereafter. Next time I need cables, you will be the first choice. Thank youSteve

On Dec. 29, 1890, United States cavalry, in the last battle of the American Indian wars, massacred as many as 350 Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee in South Dakota. Three generations later, Carter Camp, a 32-year-old Indian militant, retaliated.
On the night of Feb. 27, 1973, he led the first wave of armed, self-styled warriors in an operation to seize Wounded Knee, which had become a town on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The invaders, carrying a list of grievances against the federal government, seized the trading post, cut the telephone lines, ran the Bureau of Indian Affairs police out of town and took 11 hostages.
"We were pretty sure that we were going to have to give up our lives," Mr. Camp said in an interview for the PBS program "American Experience" in 2009.
A caravan of 200 cars carrying Indians and their supporters followed, beginning a 71-day, gunshot-punctuated standoff that some applauded as a show of new assertiveness by long-downtrodden Indians and that others deplored as criminal.
By the time it was over, two Indians had been shot to death and a federal marshal was paralyzed. He later died. Mr. Camp was convicted of abducting, confining and beating four postal inspectors during the siege and served three years in prison.
He went on to spend decades fighting for Indian rights and died at 72 on Dec. 27 in White Eagle, Okla., the headquarters of the Ponca tribe, of which he was a member. The cause was kidney and liver cancer, his brother Craig said.
Carter Camp's dream was to regain the vast lands his people had lost through unfair and broken treaties. But he started by aiming his sights lower, leading a campaign in 1970 to change the way federal money for Indian education was allocated on the Ponca reservation. He became state leader of the American Indian Movement, or AIM, which was organized in 1968 in Minneapolis as a defender of American Indian sovereignty. In 1972, he helped lead an AIM caravan from the West Coast to Washington, where "red power" advocates occupied the Bureau of Indian Affairs building.
During the Wounded Knee occupation the next year, alongside the AIM leaders Dennis Banks and Russell C. Means, Mr. Camp was the spokesman who presented the group's demands to the government, among them that the government honor 371 broken treaties and that it end what the group called corrupt tribal governments. Mr. Camp rejected an offer of leniency if the protesters left immediately.
"We decided that the Indian people were more important to us than jail terms," he was quoted as saying in "The Road to Wounded Knee" (1974), by Robert Burnette and John Koster.
When the Indians finally did end their occupation, Mr. Camp was one of the leaders who signed the agreement. Mr. Banks did not.
In August 1973, Mr. Camp was elected chairman of AIM but within weeks was ejected from the organization after being accused of shooting another AIM leader, Clyde Bellecourt, in the stomach. News accounts and histories say Mr. Camp was angry that Mr. Bellecourt had accused him of being a paid informer for the F.B.I. Charges were dropped after Mr. Bellecourt and a witness refused to testify.
The episode precipitated swirls of speculation. In his 1983 book, "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse," Peter Matthiessen said Mr. Camp had called Mr. Bellecourt a coward because he refused to carry a gun. Others suggested that the F.B.I. had planted the rumor that Mr. Camp was an informer to damage AIM's credibility.
Bruce E. Johansen, the author of "Encyclopedia of the American Indian Movement" (2013), wrote that Mr. Bellecourt had tried to salvage Mr. Camp's reputation but that Mr. Means had insisted he be expelled.
Carter Augustus Camp was born in Pawnee, Okla., on Aug. 18, 1941. He graduated from Haskell Institute, a high school for Indians in Lawrence, Kan. (It became Haskell Indian Nations University.) He then joined the Army and served in Western Europe. After his discharge, he worked in a factory in Los Angeles, serving as shop steward for the electrical workers' union.
Mr. Camp returned to Oklahoma to be close to his roots, literally. "We believe the soil and every plant contains the dust of our ancestors," he once said.
In recent years, Mr. Camp had fought against garbage companies' using Indian lands for disposal; a proposed pipeline to bring tar sands oil from Canada; and a bar catering to motorcyclists near his reservation. He protested a re-enactment of the Lewis and Clark expedition, calling it a remembrance of the extermination of his people.
In addition to his brother, Mr. Camp is survived by another brother, Dwain; his wife, Linda; his sons Kenny, Jeremy, Victorio, Mazhonaposhe and Augustus; his sister, Casey Camp-Horinek; 24 grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter.
Mr. Camp helped organize annual sun dances conducted by Leonard Crow Dog, the spiritual leader of the Wounded Knee occupiers. Participants, who may not eat or drink, dance around a cottonwood tree from sunrise to sunset.

We are so grateful for receiving this book for a frank review from the author himself.
I wanted to be me who will read it because I have a strong connection with Turkey. I travelled there for three times, two as a tourist and one for studies. And it was such a nice cultural experience everytime I was there, that I was sure I would be able to feel that once more with this lecture.
And so it was. "The Turkish Connection", by Rik Stone, wasn't only a spectacular lecture, but also a chance to remember my beloved Istanbul.
A strong character from youth to maturity
Mehmet, the central character of the book is so captivating, and his development since he was a child, with an alcoholic father and a dead mother to his maturity, when he transforms in a secure and wise man is so powerful.
At the beginning of the book, we meet Mehmet in this dangerous Istanbul, in the 1951 year. After his abusive, womanizing father is murdered, an "underworld" captures Mehmet, and so he becomes one of the children who constantly commits robbery.
These tough moments and the people he will encounter transform Mehmet into an inspiring, strong character. And the way the author describes his emotions is pure writing talent.
A story about children paying for parents' bad choices
I won't say more about the action itself because each reader feels this thriller book differently. I will say though that Rik Stone did a great job in mixing a historical fiction in Turkey with the development of a complex character like Mehmet. The way Mehmet grows and becomes an unstoppable man, fighting for his dreams honestly absorbed me.
If you enjoy or looking for dramatical books about the fight for survival, you must read "The Turkish Connection."

Founded way back in the 1980s, Chinese multinational electronics company TCL is starting to move up through the industry ranks, not just with domestic TVs, air conditioners or home appliances, but especially thanks to increasingly popular smartphones.
We're talking both Alcatel and BlackBerry-branded Android handsets, although soon enough, TCL should also begin selling phones under its own name. As for the KEYone, formerly known as Mercury, we always figured it wouldn't be a solo effort, left without sequels and spin-offs, which Nicolas Zibell finally confirmed at MWC 2017 in Barcelona.
TCL Communication's CEO revealed "as many as three" BlackBerries are in the pipeline this year, KEYone included, with a "spiritual successor" to the DTEK 50 and 60 likely coming next, no physical QWERTY keyboard in tow.
The mystery all-touchscreen device will probably ditch the DTEK label, despite TCL actually producing the 50 and 60 as a silent partner of the fallen Canadian mobile giant now focused exclusively on software.
But what's most surprising about the Chinese oufit's plans teased at this year's Mobile World Congress is they could still include a late attempt at a Palm brand revival… of sorts. You remember Palm, right? You know, the designer of the first PDA, initial Palm OS developer, as well as WebOS creator, which perished under HP's management a few years back.
What you probably forgot, or never cared much about to start with, is TCL bought the rights to the Palm name in 2014, leaving it to gather dust. Maybe not for long, as Zibell says "we don't do things by mistake", encouraging us to "stay tuned." That we will.

KACE Product Support Question
KACE1000 MACHINEs vs COMPUTERs vs SYSTEMs
Within the KACE1000/1200 console :: when I goto the only Organization I have (sans System) as Admin, I select | Inventory | from the Menu-Ribbon then tab /Computers\ , the current Computer Inventory lists 12 Named "SYSTEMS" under the Computer Inventory datagrid.i hope this information benefits not only me but all Custom Report Developers within the community.
... 1) First, I understand from studying documentation, "MACHINES" which were once scanned and even if they are not currently actively sync'd they will still display in this list (correct?)
... 2) Second I understand from KACE support replies, the Organization I am currently authenticated within [namely SA] DIRECTLY corresponds to ORG1 datatable and since I only have this table set; that there is no ORG2 in SQL only KBSYS accompanying ORG1 there should be no other Organization.
...3) Thirdly I understand that a any "MACHINE" is a scanned "SYSTEM" that is automatically added in Computer Inventory? This consitutes it is a valid "COMPUTER" to track ? or am I missing a step that assigns the ASSET TYPE ... not including Labels... is there a manual step with the ASSET assignment ?
So what mainly dumbfounds me is why when I perform a SELECT * FROM MACHINE I get two systems returned in MySQL studio from the Command Line Query Lookup... One of which IS listed in Computer Inventory in the KACE console, the latter I cannot find it at all anywhere in fact; NOT even when I try to Browse all data tables ?!?!?
So is there a way in KACE console I can find to listout MACHINES w/ TYPES table along with 11 other "Computers" is there a way to drill-down into them and see if they are perhaps "mis-categorized" with wrong type [not ASSET TYPE 5 = "Computer"] thus not coming up listed within Machines in Console Computer Inventory ?
does that make sense ?
once I understand all that I have been self 'taught' above,
My GOAL is to Qualify my lookup of MACHINES which consist of only active valid COMPUTERS and list critical windows updates with a pseudo Query Lookup like so:
SELECT * FROM MACHINE WHERE M.NAME = ASSET.TYPE='5' /*Computer*/ AND CRITICAL = 'Un-PATCHED'
The data-table topology is incomplete not listing ASSETs tables among other items... So Im really in the dark to piece the unknown qualifiers JoinTables JT to flush this out... I shouldnt have to be billable more than my support Im paying on already just to uncover a table structure issue. ...many thanks
All Answers
If I'm understanding your question correctly I think this will help.
First Kace does keep a record of everything that has been inventoried. You can limit this by setting up a MIA rule.
Inventory>MIA>Choose Action>Configure Settings> Number of days.
If you are returning two machines in your query I would make sure that there are not the same machine names with different KUIDs.
Here is an example of one of my queries for asset data. Maybe this can help you get started.

Changing the world one toy at a time

It's easy during the holidays to remember those who are in need, but after the tree is put away, our minds sometimes forget giving and focus on those New Year's resolutions. But for the students at Highland Park Elementary their season of giving continues well after the holidays through donations of toys to children in Guatemala.
"My family and I went to Guatemala with a small tour group that was involved with MayanFamilies.org," Diane Leaver, a Sugar House resident, said. Leaver is a substitute teacher at Highland Park and gave a presentation to the students about their trip to Guatemala and how the people live there.
"I think the children were shocked to see that the other children were not living or enjoying the same things they have," Leaver said. "One student brought up the question of what exactly is the poverty line in Guatemala? I had to look it up. It isn't a number, but simply that they don't have enough money for food, shelter and clothing."
The students who saw the presentation at Highland Park—with the help of their teachers and Leaver—came up with an idea to donate their toys to the kids in Guatemala. One of the students, Abby Grow, a sixth grader, said that some of the pictures that Leaver showed motivated her to go above and beyond.
"When we were watching the video I just remember thinking I'm going to go home and collect a lot of toys for them," Abby said.
Abby has already donated six or seven bags of toys, things ranging from jump ropes to Slinky's to stuffed animals. She said one picture that motivated her was that of a boy who wouldn't let go of a football because he was afraid he would never get it back. Other students at the school have also been collecting their toys from home and school supplies to send to the kids.
"I gave them some notebooks and stuffed animals," Olive Liston, a fifth grader at Highland Park, said. "It makes me feel happy, because doing good things makes me feel good."
Leaver and her family have been sponsoring a Mayan girl who has six siblings. She said that education is the key to success and that if the child stays in school they will remain sponsored. Leaver said another big issue in Guatemala is childhood malnutrition. Their diet consists of mainly rice and beans which doesn't offer all the nutrients they need. Guatemala has the fourth highest rate of childhood malnutrition with half of all the children under five being malnourished.
"It is difficult for the parents to provide even enough food for the family to eat, much less enough money to keep them in school, provide health care, clothing and toys," said Leaver. "They do not even have enough beds for all the children."
When Leaver and her family traveled to Guatemala they brought lightly used clothing, shoes and toys. She said the children were excited to have these things, as well as the 100 pounds of corn and 50 pounds of black beans that they purchased for the family. That amount of food could last the family two weeks.
"I came back from Guatemala with a renewed purpose," Leaver said. "Armed with a new knowledge of poverty, a DVD of our trip and traditional clothing, handcrafts, money and jewelry I began presentations to the upper grades at Highland Park."
Her presentation paid off and the students asked her what they could do to help these children.
"Children seem to have an innate desire to help others," she said. "If I had asked for basic necessities, which in fact the Mayan people need, it would not have been the children helping other children. Giving their gently used toys gave them a sense of purpose and ownership."
The toys the children donated will be collected until the beginning of February as Leaver and her husband return to Guatemala on Feb. 12. Leaver said that the holiday season was a perfect time for the students to donate used toys since many received new toys for Christmas.
"They need more stuff than we do," Abby said. "I care about my toys, but not as much as I want to give them away."

1 big thing: Scientists grapple with the world's plastic problem
A new plastic was created that can be recycled repeatedly — the latest advance as scientists try to address the world's growing plastics problem.
The problem: Roughly 4.9 billion tons of plastic waste produced since the 1950s hasn't been recycled or burned. And, plastic production is expected to double over the next two decades.
The challenge: Plastic needs to be durable to be useful. The flip side is they need to be broken down. For example, plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are largely mechanically recycled — it's separated, shredded, washed and melted. The process is labor intensive and the product is degraded plastics that are often made into lower-value secondary products that are not recycled again.
What's new: Researchers from Colorado State University today report designing a plastic that can be recycled repeatedly without degrading the polymer and retaining its most useful properties — strength and stability.
- Another team of scientists announced last week that they'd engineered an enzyme that can break PET down into its component parts that can then be used to make more plastic. It's still slow —it can digest only a few milligrams of plastic per day, The Economist points out.
The big picture: The reach and impact of plastic pollution is still being determined. In a study published earlier this week, researchers report finding 2–3 times more microplastics (pieces less than 5mm long) in ice cores from the Arctic Ocean than they had previously measured.

2. Birds-eye view of deforestation in Brazil
From Eileen Drage O'Reilly and Lazaro Gamio: As seen in the graphic above, based on EarthTime's deforestation data and story, Brazil's Rondônia state changed drastically over a 30-year period.
It started as pristine forest in 1984, then came a single road the following year that exploded into a town of 20,000 people with tens of thousands of square kilometers of forest cut for crops and cattle.
Why this matters: Deforestation can create areas of extreme heat, make forests vulnerable to mega-fires, and lead to the loss of habitat for millions of species. Forests lock in carbon — about 12% of man-made climate emissions today are linked to deforestation.
Go deeper: Read the rest of the story.
3. Axios stories worthy of your time
- Outbreak: Researchers are concerned about the number of hospitalizations from E. coli infections linked to romaine lettuce grown in Yuma, Arizona, Eileen reports.
- AI: Steve LeVine on a new study that finds the U.S. is ahead of China on all metrics for developing the technology, except the volume of data to which it has access. The conclusion: "Chinese capabilities are about half the United States'."
- Climate: The health benefits of China's efforts to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality could offset the costs of its climate initiatives, per Ben Geman.
4. What we're reading elsewhere
- Transplant: A combat veteran received the most extensive penis transplant surgery to date, reports the NYT's Denise Grady.
- Vaccines: How experts weigh their benefits and risks, from STAT's Helen Branswell. The context and the impact: "Experts making these types of decisions these days are doing so in a climate of litigiousness and mounting vaccine refusal and hesitancy. Headlines questioning the safety of one vaccine threaten to fuel rejection of others," she writes.
- Brain research: Pig brains can be kept alive outside their bodies for 36 hours, Antonio Regalado reports in MIT Technology Review, raising new avenues for studying neuron connections across the brain — and questions about consciousness and death that come with the prospect of preserving human brains post-mortem. Meanwhile, 17 researchers in Nature are calling for ethical guidelines for experimenting with human brain tissue.
5. Something wondrous
That's an actual view of a comet. In space.
It was created by @landru79 from still images of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko taken by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft on June 1, 2016.
What you're seeing, per Joel Parker at the Southwest Research Institute:
- This is in the "Hapi" neck region of the comet between its two lobes. It is a few hundred meters wide and the boulders are tens of meters in size.
- The bright dots in the background that look like they're falling from the top left side are stars. (They appear to be moving because the spacecraft is orbiting the comet as the comet itself rotates.)
- You can also see dust and pebbles that reflect sunlight and cosmic rays, which are "energetic particles that hit the CCD detectors and create odd-looking 'bright pixels' in the image".
One more thing: The spacecraft used star trackers to navigate. "It had to determine what stars were in a given single image, then identify which stars they are," Parker says. "All that while trying to filter out the confusion of dust and cosmic rays."

Critical Acclaim:
The 2013 Viura is probably the varietal white that shows the impact of wood more, given that the varietal is quite neutral, comes from older vines on clay and chalk soils and is fermented in new, fresh oak barrels where it matured in contact with the lees for five months. The nose is a mixture of white fruit with shy notes of flowers and a spicy, oaky undertone. The palate is ultra tasty with an entry that feels salty and makes you salivate, At the same time it has the volume and texture similar in a way to the Garnacha Blanca. The nose grows with aromas of basil and even pollen, perhaps beeswax. This is slightly cheaper, and as good (or better!) as all the others. 3,040 bottles produced.
Abel Mendoza, one of the few vignerons working in Rioja, offers limited quantities of varietal whites produced with ancient varieties and a white blend that summarizes it all, plus some exceptional reds, modern and well-oaked, some of them too oaky for my taste. I hope they have enough depth and concentration to absorb it in the bottle.

Dec 30/13 - Trail Groomed
Hi Crew...Cooper, Sommer and I went out marking trails - I took three photos so you can see the variability in the snow...groomed trail, ungroomed and in the trees and then wolf tracks but you can see the ski in the photo is just sitting up on the snow...yet on the sides I would float along. Curt and Boone went grooming. They groomed from our place to Corbin highway and also the B Road. We got about 5cm of snow out of that last snowfall. Kate and Ezzy were up in Limestone today and said it was snowing and covering in tracks but that it was windblown so pockets of snow then thin and spring like. Sara, Tyler, Rhonda, Matt, Ola & Tyler and Tristen of the Betties crew went up a there two days ago and said it was windy and thinner than we expected but that it was still a really good day of riding. Climbing up stuff and finding those pockets of snow blown into the trees. They probed and it was only 1-1.25m which is half of what we usually have. Don't know if Flathead was groomed today but everyone said it was in good shape over the past few days. The creek crossing at the start of the Barnes trail is an ice highway on the up mountain side. Its difficult. Our B short cut road is the same where the flood washed away the the bridge (lucky we can take a trail around that). No new snow expected down here but bits of snow up top and a lot more towards Fernie and south on the Flathead. I believe I heard that the backside of Rolling Hills was really good for snow. Hope that helps you plan. Oh we decided to try to keep all the beds in the Summit Log cabin while still giving you guys a full kitchen table. The double bunkbed has been taken out of the kitchen and a table added with 6 chairs. The beds have been put upstairs in the loft. Now there there are two queens, two doubles and two twins up there. Its tight but I don't expect you guys spend much time lounging in bed out here. We hope to invest more in to the Summit and improve that arrangement - everything is possible - it just takes money right and after a flood year....well its on the list. I will get photos posted and put on the website soon. Bring your poker chips - its a big table! Cheers - V

Dec 27/13 - +6 then Snow
Hope your Christmas was great! We have had warm temps here and it got to +6 today. Yesterday Cooper and I rode to Tent and it was windy and very little snow up there. Beware the rocks on slopes like that. The trail was in good shape and reports from Corbin are that the trail is still very good there too for snow pack and no major washboarding. Good cause we can't groom when its this warm. It started to snow this afternoon - big flakes but has let off after only a couple of cms. It is supposed to snow the next three days with daytime temps at -2 and night time at -11 which is needed. Snow is sticky and icy in spots. Further down the Flathead the snow improves. In the avy bulletin for south rockies it reports a size 2 avalanche in Harvey triggered by a skier so you can see that some spots are going to be touchy. Limestone has been good - not full of pow yet but you are able to climb and enjoy. Winds are supposed to pick up as the temps swing a bit but they should settle down as the temp stablizes. Just a note about trail riding....it is better for the trail if you DON'T ride "ducks in a row". It packs the trail better if you ride the edges, zig zag where you can and not be going into oncoming traffic. If you ride following each other directly it makes a dish or concave spot in the trail and ridges on the sides and it gets rougher faster so vary it up a bit and do your groomer a favor. If you are looking to tune up your riding skills then give Weir Boondocking Ltd a call - they can teach something to anyone! Enjoy your riding - 250-423-9034. Cheers - V

Dec 22/13 - Flathead Groomed & Reports from Limestone
Good Evening and it is a good evening. We got our 6cm of snow out of that last snowfall and then we have had a skiff of snow here and there since. Its -7 tonight and headed to zero Monday with light snow. Curt groomed the Flathead and our trail has been ridden and is getting nicely packed but not rough. The snow on the trails is good but off the trail and even in the alpine - Limestone - there are some thin spots. No powder riding but still good for early season there and some of our guys here rode it a few days in a row. Had reports that York Creek you don't want to venture off the trail much unless you have a sweet spot you know of. Generally though it was very thin. Atlas has some nice spots accessible with someone who knows where to go ie: Dean's Park but it is picking your way through trees so if that isn't your bag then you aren't going to get to see the deeper stuff up that way. Condolences to Taylor Elliott's family - we were sure sorry to hear the sad news. Thank you to all the sledders and volunteers that made a point of keeping their eyes open looking to help find a fellow backcountry enthusiast. Curt went out and groomed the Flathead this morning. The bottom photo is the snow bridge he built on the Barnes trail over the first creek. Our bridge was washed away and although the flood graduated the banks, Curt said the ramp going up the mountain on the other side of the creek was an ice ramp. Hopefully this helps. For everyone who appreciates a groomed trail, volunteer hours and equipment it takes to provide that - please show it with a donation, trail fee or membership. Membership numbers keep areas open. Trail fees keep trails groomed. Cheers - V

Dec18/13 - Warmer temps and light snow
Good Morning, Temps have been anywhere from -2 to +6 here with light snow up top and a freezing level of about 5500-6000ft. Lots of sled trailers hunkered in at the Rum Runner after a day of sledding. No big powder sledding but guys are able to get everywhere. Right now the temp is -1 and will be -3 to -10 during the day over the next four days with 5-10cm of snow expected in the next 24hrs. Just lightly building almost daily. Avy ratings are low below treeline and moderate above due to a nasty layer of hoar frost about 40cm down. With all the wind from the warming trend, snow has been blown around and the wind loaded pillows on lee aspects could be reactive. Watch out where those pillows start to thin out - that is where the weakest parts are and could trigger slab slides. Lots of fun riding out there in safe areas. Make sure and buy a club membership/pass to help out with grooming in the areas you ride most. Snow looks the same as my last photos. We haven't been out much just trying to get everything up and going and recovering after that 10 days of -30! Cheers - V

Dec 10/13 - Bit of Snow falling
The Holiday Train just pulled up. Hope everyone gets a chance to see it and donate food bank items. Its pretty cool. You can see the snow moving in over the mountains to the west and we have a bit falling. Its -9 and no breeze which is a welcome change from the past two weeks. Temps are getting warmer and warmer over then next few days and we are supposed to get a little bit of snow - the alpine will get more for sure. The guys riding this weekend said there were still spots where the base wasn't thick but that it was coming. So still beware the stumps as you carve into the snow. They were climbing stuff like crazy having a good time in areas that looked safe down Corbin/Flathead. Trails are in really good shape. Get your club memberships and help kick off grooming programs. We are open all this week and weekend but after that we are booked from the 21st to the 7th. Cheers -V

Dec 6/13 - Taylor Elliott is Missing!
This is for anyone out riding this weekend in the backcountry. Taylor has been missing since Sunday and he is an experience backcountry traveller/hunter. Please keep an eye out for him and if you find him please call emergency services or use your SPOT. Temps are still extremely cold as it was -35 last night and -33 this morning. Afternoon temps are going up to -25 but we have no wind so if that picks up....well last night there was a windchill warning for our BC side of -40. Now Saskatchewanians will scoff at that but out here it seems colder with the humidity so take all the precautions you can and stick together! Be careful out there gang - V

Dec 4/13 - In the Deep Freeze
Temp is -20 right now and Friday its supposed to be -26 at night but then the system moves off us and temps start back up into the negative teens. Photos are of the Corbin Country Club Bombi and the other photo is out the window of the bombi while Curt was grooming the Flathead to Rain Gauge and back this afternoon and evening. He said there was 2ft of fresh snow on the trail. A small group of riders went up into Rain Gauge and came back and went up the Barnes entrance and back today. Still bottomless but when it warms up this should start to bond and settle. Right now with the cold temps this new snow will sit on top of weak layers - check out your www.avalanche.ca South Rockies bulletin. You can see the sugar layer and a layer of hoar frost when you shovel snow right now so beware when you are riding in the trees and alpine right now. Guys are asking if you can ride from our place and absolutely yes you can. We are booked this weekend sorry. For those of you considering Christmas/New Years, we are booked from the 21st - 6th. We have some chunks of Feb booking up now too. Also - Cooper's BCA pack could not be refilled. There is a recall on them so if you own one - pull the cord and take it in. Word was that we send it back and they fix it or send the bag and a chq for $200 to BCA for a new avy bag. We will be going the new route. Curt calling BCA tomorrow to get the exact details. To any of you young guys wanting to start riding out here my advice is TAKE AN AVALANCHE COURSE and PRACTICE WITH YOUR BEACON. I cannot stress how important that is - decision making needs to be ruled by caution/education so you live long enough to get experience and get good at riding in the mountains or better yet - don't end up watching your buddy or guide get buried. Okay gang ...Lets Ride! Cheers - V
Monday, December 2, 2013
Dec 2/13 - BIG SNOW-Schools Closed
Well it has arrived and its still snowing and the schools are closed. We have -2 and 30-40cm of snow! Will give you another update later today but its supposed to let up late this afternoon/evening and then go into the deep freeze. Check your avy bulletins - the safety rating is now high and considerable as result. Keep your snow chromosome in check when you go out and look up before you rip around but man there will be some great snow in the trees and on the edges of the lakes....remember though all the warm temps we have had so watch those lakes. By the weekend and all that cold weather, lakes will be safer. Curt will be grooming our trail and the Flathead on Wed. Cheers - V
Sunday, December 1, 2013
Dec 1/13 - Cotton ball Snowflakes
Just thought I would let you all know ....its snowing! Huge snowflakes and its zero out. I was searching through weather reports and we will get two systems hitting the area tonight. One out of the West and one out of the North so both sides of the Divide will be getting snow. Let you know how much we got tomorrow...Cheers - V
Dec 1/13 - Snowfall Warning for Kootenays & Fernie
Evening sledders, Snowfall warning for 20cm to hit Fernie area by tomorrow. We saw a bit of snow this morning but only a few cms and the temp was at +2 most of the day. Winds are gusty with all this weather fluctuation and that makes for wind slabs and loaded lee side pillows up in the bowls so beware those thicker smooth surfaces found as lee side deposits. Beware the scouring and thin weak points by rock outcroppings. Tree wells are 40-100cm deep in spots with all the snow being deposited and redeposited. Wind loading is occurring increasing tension for failure with pressure/side hilling cuts. There are some nasty layers of facets out there with the temps all over the board. Its going into the deep freeze this week with forecasts Tues-Fri for -20-27 YIKES. Thats cold out here. Avy report says we are to get snow on the East side of the Divide also so Corbin/Flathead sounds like it is getting some regardless of the system. Read your avy reports, watch the weather forecast and I hope you got some new warm layers or are getting some by Cyber Monday. Check your gear and practice with your beacon. Lots of stuff to do if you haven't already. Cheers - V

RDA Hunter's, SMART Workforce Initiative (SWI) has corporate, industry, as well as State and Federal Government partners. The SMART Workforce Initiative is part of RDA Hunter's "ME Program" which also includes the Defence Industry Skilling Program (DISP) funded by Australian Government's Department of Defence.
The purpose of this initiative is to raise student's awareness of possible career opportunities and knowledge of STEM industry pathways whilst increasing the number of students undertaking STEM subjects in participating schools.
The SMART Workforce Initiative has an emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Its primary objectives are to:
(a) Provide a continuous stream of STEM enabled young people to support local industry;
(b) Increase the uptake of STEM in primary, secondary & tertiary educational institutions;
(c) Increase student awareness of STEM employment pathways in the Hunter Region;
(d) Facilitate student opportunities for hands on experiences in STEM based industries;
The long term benefits are:
(a) To increase the pool of young people ready to move from school into further education and apprenticeships, internships, scholarships and part-time work/study combinations;
(b) To educate Australia's youth about the employment options available in STEM industries; and
(c) To improve competiveness of the hunter region, through an increased pool of future, STEM enabled employees.
It includes close consultation with education and industry stakeholders. The development of innovative STEM curriculum and resource materials is facilitated through the STEM Toolkit project.
School based STEM learning and extra curricula activities are combined with vital on the job work experience, delivered by a range of the hunter regions leading industries. Individuals are equipped with technical skills and knowledge to help them make informed education and career choices.
Experience and education is supported through the school system, where teachers and careers advisers can mentor students and assist with their early career choices and the subjects they study.
The SMART Workforce Initiative is about creating and promoting opportunities for young people to help shape their education and work experience towards sustainable and fulfilling career paths. It also provides an opportunity for local industries to invest in their long term future by engaging with students adding to their current recruitment initiatives.
Through the ME Program students are made aware of possible career opportunities and have a greater understanding of the role of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects in future careers. The Program aims to provide practical experiences for students and teachers through collaborative industry interaction. A fundamental element of the SMART Workforce Initiative is to contextualise certain topics within STEM courses so that the content of learning becomes more real, relevant and engaging for both the teacher and student. This is achieved through strong collaboration between educators and corporate, industry and government stakeholders.
The SMART Workforce Initiative is made up of numerous programs/initiatives which are often run in conjunction with the Defence Industry Skilling Program. These programs/initiatives include;
