Social networking is so "Will you sign my yearbook? Please? Please?" But suddenly, all my middle-aged friends are networked. And just as suddenly, so am I.
Without even trying, I know who's pregnant, who's sad, and who's having a birthday this week. So Facebook me, baby. Be my friend! Please? Please?
Tell me why you hate Facebook, and love Myspace. Or why you hate the whole notion of online networking, and wish we'd all just have a neighborhood barbeque.

The other day in campus during a journalism club meeting, I was asked to lead the group in a traditional Luhya song to kill the monotony of a humdrum evening. I was the only Luhya in the crowd, and my friends in attendance looked up to me with alacrity eager to learn a song from another tribe.
"I'm sorry guys," I half-whispered. "But I do not know any Luhya songs to teach you tonight." I actually knew a couple of Luhya tunes from my days in the Sunday school, but at the club they always ask for the song's translation. Since I don't know much of my mother-language, it would have been easier to draw blood from a stone than to relay the meaning of whatever song I'd choose to teach the group.
Later that night, my friend Auma followed me to my room and the conversation drifted to the disappointing moment an hour earlier. "How comes you cannot speak your mother tongue?" She wanted to know.
"My dad is a Luhya, born and bred in Bungoma, our ancestral land," I explained to her. "My mother, on the other hand, is a Kikuyu from the Mt. Kenya Region. Growing up, Swahili, our national language, was the common language spoken in our household since my parents could not communicate to each other in their native dialects. It thus became my first language, and hence I've never learnt either Kikuyu or Luhya."
"I see," Auma remarked. "Does it bother you that you cannot speak your mother tongue?" She pressed further.
"I get by comfortably speaking Swahili, but life would certainly be easier if I knew either Luhya or Kikuyu. When I visit my relatives in Nyeri, it gets really tough following proceedings in social functions such as weddings and funerals as they're all conducted in Kikuyu. Likewise, when I'm in Bungoma, the communication barrier continues as people who'd be more comfortable speaking Luhya have to switch to Swahili or English when I'm in the room."
"That's unfortunate," she remarked as she took a bite of the ugali I had just prepare for supper. "But at least you can learn your native tongue. As for me, I can never speak my mother tongue even if I really wanted to."
"What are you talking about?" I wondered. "I've heard you speak perfect Luo countless of times before!" I was getting slightly discombobulated because my friend Auma was a Luo through and through. She not only spoke the language with admirable fluency but also cooked the tastiest omena (a traditional Luo delicacy) and was a dyed-in-the-wool Gor Mahia (A football team whose fan base is anchored in Luoland) fan.
"It's a long story Lukorito," She said.
"I'm all ears," I remarked as I pushed away the bowl of omena we were having with ugali for supper and moved closer. Since Luhyas are famous for their ugali and Luos are known for omena, she always prepared the stew while I made ugali whenever we shared meals in my room, which was quite often.
"All my life I have grown up believing I'm a Luo," She started. "I was brought up in Kisumu and everybody in our homestead spoke Dholuo. It is only when I visited my grandfather last August that I discovered we're not really Luo. We aren't even Nilotic." She paused for effect and took another bite at her food, just at the right point leaving me boiling with anxiety. She was a master story teller, this girl Auma. From past experiences, I had learnt that hanging on her every word only made her pause for much longer. So to mask my eagerness, I fidgeted with my phone to check the time. Nine fifty five pm. In five minutes she would need to be leaving, because hostel regulations prohibited hosting visitors past ten pm. However, when I noted she was in no hurry to complete her narration, I decided to urge her on.
"What do you mean you aren't even Nilotic?" The Nilotes are a cluster of ethnic groups who trace their origins to the Nile Valley and are predominantly fishers. They include the Luo and Kalenjin of Kenya, and Nuer and Dinka of Sudan. They are the second largest groups of people in Africa after the Bantu, who include Luhyas, Kikuyus and Swahilis, among others.
"Grandpa told me that our tribe is originally Bantu. The Suba. Have you heard of them?"
I had read about the Suba people long ago in primary school, and I told her so. They were a Bantu community who settled near Lake Victoria in Kenya and Uganda. They then intermarried heavily with their more aggressive neighbours, the Luo. What followed was an insistent assimilation that saw the Suba surrender their traditions and customs for those of the Luo. Instead of circumcising their men as they had originally done, they now resorted to knocking out a few front teeth for initiation in aping the Luo. They abandoned farming and took to fishing for a livelihood. Slowly and steadily, they lost what made them Suba and eventually they lost their language too.
"So you know. My language is dead, as dead as a dodo! There are no records of it anywhere, no Suba songs left for future generations to learn, not even a single proverb was salvaged!" she lamented bitterly.
Later that night as I lay on my bed after seeing Auma off, I counted myself lucky because unlike her, I could easily pop into my motherland and learn Luhya. A more terrifying factoid is that out of Kenya's 42 indigenous languages, 16 of them have either become extinct or are seriously endangered. This is according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, UNESCO.
According to UNESCO, a language is considered endangered if it is no longer learnt by at least 30% of its children. A language often disappears when its speakers shift to speaking another language, most often a larger language used by a more powerful group. It is estimated that in the world over, one language dies every 14 days.
According to Ethnologue, a web-based application that lists the data and statistics for about 7000 languages, the fate that has befallen the Suba might soon descend on more dialects here in Kenya. The most critically endangered languages are Elmolo which had only 8 speakers in 1994, and Yaaku and Omotik which had 50 speakers each at the last count in 1983.
With over 2000 languages, Africa currently stands out as the most linguistically diverse continent in the world. However, linguists project that unless quick measures are employed, 600 of these languages may not survive for long.
Its richest country linguistically, Nigeria, has already lost 14 languages in the recent past according to UNESCO. Having only 100 speakers in 1994 and the numbers dropping sharply, Yangkam language of Nigeria is on its deathbed. Cameroon has already lost Bikya and Bishou, Ethiopia is losing Ongota, Somalia is eulogising Boon and South Africa is mourning Korana and Xiri.
Why should the death of a language be of concern to us? The extinction of a language results in unrecoverable loss of unique cultural knowledge embodied in it for centuries. This includes historical, spiritual and economical knowledge that may be essential not only for its speakers but also for the survival of others.
Faced with such grim consequences, governments in Africa should strive to revive languages on the death-list. A case study can be found in New Zealand, where the Maori language was tittering on the brink of extinction. The community established nursery schools called "language nests", which were staffed completely by elders. All lessons were henceforth conducted in Maori.
A linguistics professor at The University of Nairobi, Prof Okombo, told The African Review that language is like a reservoir of culture. Most of the cultural wealth of a community is stored in its language: their philosophy of life, their stories, and their medicinal practices.
"The death of a language is like the burning of a library," remarked Prof Okombo.

About Natalie Friend Wilson
Natalie Wilson has a passion for helping businesses thrive in challenging economic and regulatory environments.

She also consults with other members of the firm about bankruptcy-related issues or questions that may arise in litigation or transactional matters.
The foundation of Ms. Wilson's success in the restructuring arena is her ability to quickly learn the intricacies of a particular business so that she can develop creative, yet feasible, solutions to the challenges in any given industry. One common source of great uncertainty and potential liability across all industries is cybersecurity, data protection, and privacy. Recognizing the potentially enormous impact that cyber-attacks and data breaches can have on business operations and profitability, Ms. Wilson expanded her practice to include these areas. She assists businesses in developing and implementing policies, terms of use, response plans, and in responding to adverse incidents.
Prior to joining Langley & Banack, Ms. Wilson clerked for Associate Justice Simeon R. Acoba, Jr. (Ret.) at the Hawaii Supreme Court. Her clerkship honed her research and writing skills and gave her insight into how courts decide cases. Most importantly, Justice Acoba emphasized the commitment to providing quality representation and service to every party before the Court and set an example of professionalism that established the tone for Ms. Wilson's practice. After her clerkship, Ms. Wilson entered private practice in Honolulu, Hawaii, practicing before the bankruptcy, federal, and state courts in Hawaii.
In addition to her thriving legal practice and her membership in various bar associations, Ms. Wilson is active in the Military Spouse JD Network, a bar association for lawyers married to members of the armed forces.

Hi guys and gals - just wanted to share my experience of the Travel Tap water filter and the Supalite Waterbag.
I've been using the Travel Tap water filter for a couple of years now (mainly Brecon and Dartmoor) and have found it to be a truly dependable piece of kit. I tend to use it to filter for two people (which means we only need to take a litre of water each). However, I've been on the lookout for an alternative which doesn't require quite so much effort for 2 people.
It turns out that Drinksafe (makers of the Travel Tap) also have a water filter bag (available as the Supalite and the Maxi). In essence the filter bags are dry bags that you fill with water and hang from a tree / post / hiking pole and allow the water to gravity feed through a hose and water filter cartridge.
I purchased the Supalite bag (perfect for small groups) and have used it a couple of times in Dartmoor (where the water is frequently heavy with sediment and strong peat taste). The Supalite filters out everything (delivering around 300-400ml of water per minute with zero effort). The quality of the components are top notch so I can easliy recommend the product.
I'd also like to say a very big thank you to Giles (the chap who runs www.drinksafe-systems.co.uk) who was incredibly helpful and went well past the routine customer service we expect these days.

So there was me, this little part-time crafter, kind of ambling along at my own pace, and then I met you lot! And now all of a sudden I'm spending all my waking moments either crafting, or wanting to craft and all my sleeping moments planning my next creation... And NOW I'm spending all my boyfriend's money on colouring pens...!
Let me fill you in... I've been listening to you girls rave about promarkers for ages now. Okay, okay, so what's the fuss??? They're just colouring pens aren't they??? So I went to a demo to see them in action. Oh, wow! Do you think I could come home empty handed after that??? So I bought 9 there and then, thinking I'd got the basics... then I went home and ordered 5 more off the internet... now I NEEEEED, absolutely MUST HAVE, at least another 10 or else I can't craft ever again!
Oh no, what have I started??? I'll tell you this much, I've never had so much fun colouring in in all my life! At some point soon I'm going to have to stop and add these images to some cards :-) Can't wait. Thankyou all!!! And don't worry, I won't be telling my boyfriend who you all are... :-)
Love 'n' hugs,
Mel xx

Los of love...
Hiya... Hope everyone out there is having a good day. Off to take my other half down the fracture clinic in a mo to get his poorly hand fixed - no sympathy please! It was all his own fault! And now I've got all the washing up to do for 6 weeks! Nevermind, enough of that... Having taken part in my first challenge recently, I really wanted to do some more so this cute little lady has become an entry into several challenges:
Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Sketch
Totally Gorjuss - pink and green
Creative inspirations - Fairies
The Creative Cottage - Fancy folds
A Spoonful of Sugar - Recipe
I made the flowers using a new flower punch I got for my birthday and I think they look really fab. Will definitely be using them some more. I'm really enjoying all these challenges so look out! More on the way!
Love 'n' hugs,
Mel xx

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Chris!
A few firsts for me... I've started following a few challenge blogs to give me some inspiration and ideas so this is my first proper entry to a challenge. This one from Creative Inspirations is to use the colour scheme orange, hot pink and purple. Not something I would usually use but I guess that's the idea! This is also my first easel card. I've been dying to do one for ages and I finally had an afternoon free to have a go. The adorable image was sent to me by a lovely lady at the RAK club, but unfortunately my little'un got into my piles of images and mixed them up so I'm not sure exactly who sent it! But thankyou anyway - it's gorgeous. And after various attempts at colouring images in different ways, I'm finally happy with this :-)
It's my Mom and step-dad's anniversary next week and this is for them. Happy anniversary, Mom and Chris!
Love 'n' hugs,

I was surprised to wake up this morning to a series of national newspaper headlines amounting to little more than 'large man eats pie'.
We've all heard of quiet news days and I suppose journalists must earn a crust, but even by their standards, this seemed bizarre.
However and as ever in the mad, mad world of football, all was not as it seemed.
As an avid football fan I had watched last night's game and enjoyed the spectacle of Sutton United of the National League taking on the might of my own team, Arsenal, before succumbing to a surprisingly narrow defeat.
I laughed along with Sutton's reserve goalkeeper, Wayne Shaw, as he scoffed said pie in what I assumed was a simple dare, given the considerable publicity which his shall we say ample frame had attracted pre match.
However, it now transpires that bookmaker Sun Bets, whose parent newspaper had stepped in to sponsor the match, had offered odds of 8-1 that Shaw would eat a pie on camera during the match and adverts to that effect had been carried both in a newspaper sponsoring the team and online.
So potentially, the most surreal allegation of 'spot fixing' of all time.
Sun Bets tweeted after the game that they had paid out a 'five-figure sum' to one punter and whilst Shaw has since confirmed that he had placed no bet personally, he confessed 'I think there were a few people (who backed it)... I think a few of the mates and a few of the fans. It was just a bit of banter for them. It is something to make the occasion as well and you can look back and say it was part of it and we got our ticket money back'.
The FA has taken a less relaxed view and a spokesperson has today confirmed that 'We are investigating to establish whether there has been any breach of The FA rules relating to betting'.
The Gambling Commission, which licenses and regulates gambling in Britain, has also announced that it is looking into whether there was, in the words of director Richard Watson, any 'irregularity in the betting market and establishing whether the operator has met its licence requirement to conduct its business...integrity in sport is not a joke and we have opened an investigation to establish exactly what happened'.
The truth is that much as I sympathise with Shaw's position, a man who after all and as Gary Lineker has pointed out, slept on a sofa 3 nights a week to help maintain and run the club which he loves, the incident can't just be dismissed as harmless fun.
A worldwide ban on betting in football was introduced in 2014 and covers everyone involved in the game, from the players and managers through to the match officials and club staff. This prevents any participant covered by the ban from betting, directly or indirectly, on any football match or competition, including the passing of 'inside information'.
Frankly the player, club, bookmaker and newspaper should all have known better than to allow the otherwise inspirational tale of Sutton's cup run to end on a sour note.
On the plus side, it seems reasonable to assume that there will be plenty of media opportunities for Shaw, so perhaps he will move on to even bigger and better things.
Finally, Arsenal should perhaps reflect on the fact that had they showed half the appetite of Shaw, their recent 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich would surely have been avoided.
Sutton United's 'roly poly goalie' Wayne Shaw has resigned after the club asked him to quit over the pie-eating betting scandal.Shaw was said to be in tears as the news was broken to him on the day the government's Gambling Commission and the Football Association opened investigations into his actions.The 23-stone stopper was caught on camera eating a pie during Monday night's televised FA Cup defeat by Arsenal.

Experience the magic of muslin! Muslin fabric is the center of everything Aden + Anais does, starting with their famous swaddle blankets, which are one of our number one baby essentials. Swaddling helps babies sleep, and the breathable weave of muslin ensures that babies aren't too warm or too cold. And Aden + Anais Muslin Swaddle Blankets are as versatile and useful as they are beautiful: they work as stroller blankets, tummy time blankets, nursing covers, and more.
Aden + Anais was founded by Aussie mom Raegan Moya in 2006, inspired by her search in the US for the soft, breathable muslin baby wraps she remembered from her home country. Finding none, Raegan created her own, and they've been a huge hit!
From their famous receiving blankets, Aden + Anais have expanded their collection to toddler bedding (including the well-loved Aden + Anais Dream Blanket), sleeping bags, skin care, baby bath wraps and toddler towels, Burpy Bibs, and more. The beloved swaddle blankets are also now available in cotton muslin fabric, bamboo fiber muslin, or natural Merino wool.
And, new for July 2015: Aden + Anais Layette Collection! These gorgeous 100% breathable cotton muslin outfits for babies are perfect for the summer and will get softer with every wash. A perfect gift for expectant moms!

Dengue fever has become widespread in the tropical world, causing as many as 390 million infections per year in 128 different countries. The disease has become especially prevalent in Asian and Pacific countries over the last 50 years, and the economic impact of dengue infections is an estimated $2 billion per year. In October, there was a surge of dengue cases in Asia, with five countries experiencing significant increases.
Malaysia experienced an unprecedented outbreak in 2015, which has so far killed more than 200 people. With the growing outbreak in Malaysia and Asia, there is an increasing need to control mosquito populations. Recently, researchers at the University of Malaya (UM) devised an LED street lamp that aims to capture mosquitoes to curb the spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses.
Fighting Dengue
The street lamp, called the Eco-Greenergy outdoor lighting system, was created by Dr. Chong Wen Tong at UM's Department of Mechanical Engineering. The lamp is meant to bring better light sources to Malaysian cities and remote communities while also fighting mosquito-borne disease. It consists of an LED street lamp that produces low levels of carbon dioxide to mimic odours associated with humans, attracting the insects. The level of carbon dioxide emitted by the light is kept low to minimize emissions, but is still very attractive to mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes enter a trap through windows on the top of the lamp, and are pulled into a net and kept there by a suction fan. The light functions entirely on wind and solar energy and is self-sustaining, meaning it can supply basic electricity even in very remote areas. The battery, electrical wiring, and controller are also installed on the top of the light pole, so that the light can even continue to function during floods.
So far, eight of the street lights have been installed on the UM campus and a few other sites in Kuala Lumpur as part of an 18-month pilot project. Dr. Chong and his research team say that the first version of the light is now ready for market, and an agreement with a company has already been signed. Although LED lights can last much longer than conventional street lighting, they are still quite expensive.
Clean Power
Each lamp costs about US$2,850 to purchase and install. However, Dr. Chong argues that the installation of conventional street lights requires considerable more construction. With this LED lamp, costs such as trenching and cabling to connect to the electrical grid are completely eliminated. Moreover, the LED lamps can reduce demand on main electrical grids in urban areas and generate electricity for basic needs in more remote and rural areas.
Dr. Chong believes the lamps will be able provide clean power to light streets and protect from mosquito-borne illnesses in developing countries across the world. Although pricey, the LED lamp's green energy system, self-sustaining model, and easy installation provide a valuable benefit. "The device is tailor-made for developing countries, where power outages and dengue fever are common problems for rural residents," Bernard Saw Lip Huat, engineer at the University of Tunku Abdul Rahman, tells SciDev.net. "I firmly believe these benefits have the potential to make this inventions desirable to the engineering world today," he says.

Searching Across Mailboxes in Exchange 2010
Posted by Third Tier on 09 October 2014 09:06 AM
We are getting more and more requests to perform a search to gather all emails on a particular topic and provide those results to a group of people. From the TechNet article referenced below, these are some of the reasons why you might find a need to search across mailboxes in Exchange.
Exchange has this functionality if you own the Exchange Enterprise CALS for all of the mailboxes on the server. The steps involved are these:
The search can get very granular, permissions can get very complex and there are a ton of options with which to run this process. I'm going to show a basic search which is what you will use in most cases. If you'd like to get into the nitty gritty TechNet is your best source. Start here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335072(v=exchg.141).aspx
For your ordinary search needs…
1. Create a Discovery Search Mailbox. This is a powershell only item. The command is New-Mailbox "Discovery Mailbox1" –Discovery –UserPrincipalName "email@example.com" Where Discovery Mailbox1 is the name that you want to call this mailbox by. I often use the date or in a recent the case, the name of the project that we wanted to gather up all emails from. What ever you name it, just make sure that it is obvious to all parties what it is. UserPrinicipalName is the name of the user for this mailbox. In Exchange every mailbox must have a user, this command will create the user for you in AD. I suggest naming the user the same as the discovery mailbox.
You will get a result from PowerShell like the one below.
And in Exchange you will now see the new mailbox. This mailbox has a 50GB quota by default. Keep that in mind as you are performing the search. May G-D have mercy on your soul and those of the people that have to read the search results if the mailbox exceeds 50GB. I wouldn't wish the fate of having to read that much email on my worst enemy.
Screenshots from http://theucguy.net/discovery-mailbox-in-exchange-2010/
2. Enter your search criteria and run it. I find these unnecessarily buried and difficult to find. You find it in OWA and here's how you get there. Log into OWA as an administrator. Go to Options, then change from Manage Myself to Manage My Organization. Move to Role & Auditing. Select Discovery Management role and add your administrator account to this group. This is required so that you can see and use the discover tools.
Logoff and back on again and you will now see the Discovery tools option.
To perform a search click NEW and enter your search criteria into the form.
The first item you come to in the form is keywords. This is the most important part of the whole form because here you are telling it what to search for. As an external consultant I always ask the client for the list of terms to search for. As noted in the screenshot below you will enter AND, OR or NOT between the search terms you list. After an initial search has been run, I always ask the client to review the results to determine whether the search is accurate and contains what they need. We can always change the search terms and run it again.
The rest of the form is very straight forward. It just wants to know which mailboxes to search (or all of them) and which users to include, exclude or not and what date range to include or not to limit it by date. Most often you will find that you will not be limiting the search by date or user.
The final part of the form is a little bit important. Here is where you will name the search. As before when I recommended that you name the user and search mailbox the same. I would name the search the same too to make it easy to keep track of.
If you select the radio button for Estimate the search results, all you will get is an estimate. The search mailbox won't actually have anything in it. To move the search results into the search mailbox you have to select the Copy the search results to the destination mailbox radio button and then Browse to the mailbox you created.
Note the Enable deduplication checkbox. As you know when you send email to multiple people you get a lot of copies of the same email. This checkbox will eliminate those. However, if this is a legal issue that you are gathering the data for you probably will want to uncheck that box. Check with your client.
Now run the search! It will take a little while but actually it is quite quick. When finished you'll find a nice little report in the right hand column that tells you how many emails and whose mailboxes they were in.
3. Assign Full Mailbox permissions to the people that need to see the results and assist the users in adding the discovery search mailbox to Outlook
Back in the Exchange Management console select the mailbox and Click Manage Full Access from the right column (near the bottom). Then add the users that need access to the search results mailbox.
Go to the users and assist them in adding an additional mailbox to Outlook so they can review the results.

Our SBS (Small Business Solution) Options with Standalone and Cluster Hardware Considerations
Posted by Philip Elder on 15 September 2014 04:17 PM
Original Here: MPECS Inc. Blog: MPECS Inc. Blog: Our SBS (Small Business Solution) Options with Standalone and Cluster Hardware Considerations
We've received a number of questions about the "How" we present our SBS to prospective and existing clients.
Our primary focus is on what we have provided with Small Business Server starting with SBS 2003 Standard.
We focus on the services the prospect would require while our existing clients are already used to them.
Once we have an understanding of the prospect's needs, since we already know our client's business really well, we move forward with a proposal that would be geared towards their business size and sensitivity to downtime.
On the services front where we are installing into a standalone host we would have two options:
Obviously the server and CALs would also be needed for the various components that will be installed into the guest OS.
If we are setting up a cluster then one needs to consider the number of VMs running on one or more of the nodes in the event of a node failure.
On the hardware side we would have a number of options:
Within the above hardware configurations we would have a lot of flexibility that allows us to customize to the specific needs of the prospective client or our clients.
We work with a number of different firms that are prime candidates for at least an asymmetric cluster setup to minimize the possibility of downtime. The cost associated with these entry-level clusters versus a single larger server for the host platform makes them very attractive.
The basic VM configuration would involve fixed VHDX files unless the files are installed on dedicated partitions/LUNs. Note that we would use a shared set of partitions/LUNs if there are around 10 or more VMs as things get to be a bit of a bear to manage otherwise.
Our base VM configurations would be as follows:
We have a set of PowerShell steps and scripts that we use to configure these environments. PowerShell helps to greatly reduce the amount of time required to set things up. It also gives us consistency across all of our client deployments which is vital to troubleshooting if the need arises.
Shameless Plug: We've spent some time on the above in our SMBKitchen ASP Author Chats. If you are looking for more information the Author Chat is one of the best ways to do so.

Pruning Exchange Distribution Lists
Posted by Dave Shackelford on 13 February 2014 12:57 PM
Some organizations end up having cluttered distribution lists still populated with mailboxes belonging to employees who have left the company. One strategy I've employed is when an employee leaves, to add their mailbox to a Distribution List I call "Sunset". That list contains all non-active employees whose mailboxes have not been deleted yet.
Once the mailbox is listed there, I can simply run the following script.
This checks every distribution group's membership against the Sunset DL's membership and removes any members of the Sunset list from the other lists.

SBS 2003 R2 Premium Migration to 2012 R2 Domain and Exchange 2013
Posted by Philip Elder on 26 November 2013 03:10 PM
Original Here: MPECS Inc. Blog: SBS 2003 R2 Premium Migration to 2012 R2 Domain and Exchange 2013
We are beginning our adventure migrating our last SBS 2003 R2 Premium server setup to a completely new setup.
We used the ShadowProtect backup image to restore to our Hyper-V server and utilized the Hardware Independent Restore process to inject the Hyper-V 2012 R2 VM drivers so we did not get any blue screens on the restored VM OS.
Our goal will be to end up with an RWA setup in 2012 Essentials R2 or we will be pitching the new Scorpion Software AuthAnvil Portal setup as an RWA replacement to this firm (and eventually all firms we manage).
Given that most accounting firms need to log into many different sites for their day-to-day routines we believe that new portal service will meet that need along with the partners that would prefer a short PIN to log on.
Plus it will give them a huge step up in security.
For now, we have their server up and running on one of our Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V lab setups as we will be running through the migration process a few times to make sure we have everything down.
We set up a Windows 7 Professional SP1 VM to verify that the SBS 2003 was happy:
The SBS Connect Computer wizard was run to successfully connect the Win7 VM to the SBS domain. From there we installed Office 2010 SP1 and reset a couple key user's passwords to hook into their profiles.
We are now ready to begin the migration process in our lab.
Once we have run through the above process we will then move on to migrating their actual production network.

Many couples will choose little girls to play as flower girls in their weddings and picking infant flower girl dresses for them may be one of the most enjoyable things. If you don't try your best to find the infant flower girl dresses, you will never know that.
Once you tried, you will see that there are quite lit of cute styles of cheap infant flower girl dresses. But still, here are two things you need to remember when you choose the infant dress. One is that do not purchase the dress with too much embellishments. There are some styles of chic embellishments, like buttons, pearls or beadings. You could imagine that babies just like play with such decorations and happen to put such things into the mouth, which would be quite dangerous. It will definitely ruin the wedding ceremony if such things happen.
The other tip for choosing infant toddler flower girl dresses is the fabric issue. First of all, the fabric shall be of high quality and shall be comfortable. Then, the fabric of the dress shall look dressy but still washable. We may also see some styles of infant dress with puffy sleeves from the chiffon in either a coordinating or a contrasting color. That is a nice combination and will have a good look.
Since the dress will be worn in the weddings, the infant ivory flower girl dresses shall also be matched with the wedding theme. You can still decide on the bridal gown as well as the bridesmaid dresses first. Then you can imagine the way the infant flower girl dresses ivory would look.
There are also angel-like pink flower girl dresses for infants existing. Most brides would love the little girls to pay as the little angels in the wedding ceremony, right? By taking some time, you will find the most dreaming one.

Our storyWe started f-source.com in 2004 from making simple flash buttons for Macromedia Exchange marketplace. That was in early days when Macromedia was on top of success. No one could even imagine that Adobe will acquire Macromedia.
It was flash buttons, in a form of extensions (plugins) for Dreamweaver. The next step was producing navigation menus.
Which became even more popular. As you can see they are neatly designed and we had a lot of customers.
For many users of Dreamweaver, these extensions were really helpful and time saving.
2006 - 2010.The success in Macromedia/Adobe marketplace bring us success in Google. For several years we had the first position in search results for phrase "flash menu".
The results:
- About 5000 clients all over the world
- > 6 mln. pages with our menus worldwide
The design of CSS navigation of our competitors was very primitive. Our client often asked us to remake our menus using only CSS and images. But we love flexible solutions and couldn't find a technology that provide the same capability and flexibility.
2013Finally, support by most browsers of CSS3, HTML and Canvas technologies made it possible! New brand - Swimbi. New website - swimbi.com. CSS menus based on new technology, even better than flash version, versatile, lightweight, and natively supported by browsers. Furthermore, instead of Dreamweaver extensions we made desktop apps for Windows and Mac, and browser plugin for Chrome. New technologies brought new possibilities, effects and features.
And a lot of ideas of improvement and growth...
Our plansTo be number 1 in the Google in the whole world! :)
Provide our customer with best menu designs, handy apps for menu creation, modification and support.
We are planning to make a big gallery with a large set of menu skins and configs. Made by our designers and community. Ability to select and drag loved instance from the gallery page into the Swimbi app and make it work in seconds.
Evolve menu generation scripts, add more effects, overlay patterns and animations which people love.
Our experience helps us better understand your needs as a webmaster, web designer or website owner.
Who we areWe are small team of independent developers. Self-funded, self-motivated. We love to improve our product and listen to the people who use it, constantly innovate and make beautiful designs.

Mountainside Marketing Retreat
Ridgecrest Mountainside Marketing Retreat
Embarking on a writing journey is an exciting and slightly terrifying endeavor. The trail ahead offers promise but will be filled with unexpected twists and turns. This retreat equips authors with the tools they need to scale the peaks of branding, blogging and social media.
A commitment to writing quality books means ensuring the work captures the eyes of the reader and leaves them wanting more. Learning the craft is critical—no shortcuts allowed—especially if writers want to succeed. Along with this, we must acknowledge that learning how to market is an integral part of our journey. It's vital that we scale the peaks of marketing to ensure our work lands in the hands of our readers.We understand the difficulties. The publishing journey isn't a day trip but a climb toward excellence. Many of us have begun and gotten lost—miserably. This event was created out of our experiences navigating the rigorous requirements of branding, blogging and social media. The good news is we've learned how to avoid the detours and dangers, and we are here as your mountain guides. Our goal is for no writer to be left stranded on a cliff with nowhere to turn. We can't guarantee a smooth trip every step of the way, but we can show you how to avoid a lot of the obstacles.Grab your backpack and your spirit of adventure. We're headed onward and upward!
Equipping Authors with the Tools Needed to Scale the Peaks of Branding, Blogging and Social Media.
- Program Fee: $250.00 per person
- Accommodations: $75.00 per room, per night
- Meals: $105.00 per person, includes Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner, Sunday breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday breakfast, and lunch.
During Mountainside Marketing, we do NOT require you to sign up for classes beforehand. We will be publishing a list of classes and the schedule soon, so check back.
What to Bring
This is a hands-on conference. Attendees will be working on social media, websites, and a variety of online platforms. Computers are a must. Several of the platforms are harder to use on a tablet. If no laptop is available—and the attendee is aware of possible issues—a tablet will be accepted.
Because attendees will be working on integration between social media, websites, and blogs, a way to retrieve the relevant log-on information is required. This includes user names, passwords, and access to the relevant email accounts.
These are scheduled times when you can sit down with DiAnn and Edie to discuss your specific situation. You do NOT have to pay for these appointments, they are included as part of your conferee experience.
You will NOT sign up for these appointments until you get to the conference.
In the meantime, consider what you need help with and make a list of questions. Edie and DiAnn will also have several Q and A sessions scheduled. In addition, they'll be available to sit with for lunch and dinner.
General Information
Conference attire is business casual/casual. This isn't a conference where attendees will be pitching editors and agents, so casual attire is acceptable. Remember, there is a lot of walking up and down hills, so be sure to pack comfortable shoes.
Stay Current on Changes:
We encourage you to please frequently check this website for new information. There is a place there to sign up for email updates when new information is posted. We strongly urge you to do so. This is the first place we share new information.
We will be sharing all Facebook information for Mountainside Marketing Conference on the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference Facebook Page, so please LIKE that page and turn on notifications.

Directors, Mountainside Marketing Conference
"The inaugural Mountainside Marketing Conference 2018 not only "showed" me how, but provided me the tools, the experience, the accountability and the strong group of supporters to carry out the journey of successfully getting my words out there. I would recommend this to anyone. It was inspirational, educational, emotional, with life lessons thrown in!"
"Mountainside Marketing Conference was amazingly professional, comprehensive, and… even fun for me, so inept with technology. So…besides the great overview of social media, the book launching session taught me what, why, where, when, and how to successfully launch a book. My book is a ship. I've christened at the Mountainside Marketing Conference. Now I'm ready to launch—not expecting all smooth sailing (after all, I wrote a Titanic novel!)—but I do expect to arrive at my destination: God's port."

… make that a HUGE Boyzone fan.
Wow, it feels good to say that.
Now, I don't know why, but I've always been kind of embarrassed about my taste in music. I actually have quite an eclectic taste, but my favourite is: boybands (wow, another relief moment). I have seen Take That, One Direction, Westlife, Backstreet Boys and countless others live… I know most of their lyrics… I love those (yes, sometimes cheesy) tunes, I love the melody, and, as I'm being so honest, I often have a crush on one or more of the band members.
So why am I kind of embarrassed by this fact? I guess my embarrassment stems from my school days. It wasn't considered particularly cool to be a Boyzone/Take That/whoever fan when I was 14. That didn't stop me from seeing Boyzone live 7 times … but it did mean I haven't ever really shouted about how big a fan I am.
Even as an adult, I still listen to Boyzone quite often and am rather excited about their new album (the new single is brilliant!) but I still feel a bit embarrassed when people know I'm a fan. So, I'm coming out. I'm declaring it for all the World to know: I love Boyzone!
It started in 1994, when Love Me For a Reason entered the UK chart … (in 1999, age 18, I even went to Dublin mostly because I wanted to visit their homeland!) … it continued when they re-formed in 2008, and I cried when I heard the news about Stephen Gately dying in 2009 (in fact I still cry when I see the Gave It All Away video).
And in December, I'm going to see Boyzone live for the 8th time at Wembley Arena and I can't wait.
So … there you go. I'm proud of my tastes, and you know what? At 32, I don't care how 'cool' other people think boybands are. I love them, and that's me, take it or leave it.
If you had a crush on a band, you might enjoy my novel The Truth About Ellen. Read more here >
Update 2019: I've now seen Boyzone live 14 times, and met Ronan, Shane, Keith and Mikey 🙂

Selected content from volume 27, numbers 5-6, of Reports of the National Center for Science Education is now available on NCSE's website, featuring reports on a disastrous excursion for "intelligent design" in Oklahoma, developments in the Answers in Genesis schism, and the failed attempt to earmark $100,000 in taxpayer funds to a creationist organization in Louisiana. Additionally, RNCSE's editor Andrew J. Petto considers "The History of Life as a Walk in the Park" -- with color photographs of J. Nicholas Schweitzer's exhibit in Madison, Wisconsin, available only on-line. And there are reviews, too: Randall B. Irmis reviews Thomas R. Holtz Jr.'s Dinosaurs, James F. McGrath reviews God and Evolution: A Reader edited by Mary Kathleen Cunningham, and Jason R. Wiles reviews Anne H. Weaver's The Voyage of the Beetle.
If you like what you see, why not subscribe to RNCSE today?

Eugenie C. Scott and Glenn Branch explain why allowing students to opt out of evolution is a bad mistake. And there are reviews of books by Pascal Richet, David Standish, Francisco Ayala, Michael Lienesch, Carl Zimmer, and the mysterious A. Nonimous. And more is in the pipeline for future issues of RNCSE, including articles by Lawrence S. Lerner on state science standards, Steven Salzberg on a creationist paper that almost found its way into a respected journal, and Taner Edis on a new setback for Islamic creationism.

ANAHEIM – Teemu Selanne leaned against a wall in the Ducks dressing room and took deep breath after deep breath before firing off shot after shot of the verbal kind.
"A lot of talking. A lot of meetings. Really no answers," Selanne said Sunday night after the Ducks dropped their seventh consecutive game, a 5-2 decision to the Toronto Maple Leafs before a sparse 13,685 at Honda Center.
"It seems to me that nothing works," Selanne continued. "When things go bad, they really go bad. We try to stay positive and try to find some bright sides. I don't really see any bright sides. It's just unbelievable."
The Ducks (6-13-4) stayed out of the Western Conference basement because of a Columbus loss to St. Louis, but they're about as low as a team can get. They have won once in their past 14 games and twice in the past 18.
This loss had the usual marks. Goals scored by Toronto's Tyler Bozak and Clarke MacArthur in a 19-second span after Francois Beauchemin gave the Ducks a first-period lead. Bozak making it 4-1 just 47 seconds into the third.
Selanne appeared to be flabbergasted at the same mistakes occurring, saying: "There's no mental toughness right now."
Corey Perry got his team-leading 10th goal later in the third, but the defeat again had the appearance of a paralyzed squad that's playing with a sense of dread.
"We have to be concerned with what is going on," Ducks center Saku Koivu said. "At this point, we can't think for a second that there are enough games to get back."
Coach Randy Carlyle scoffed at the notion that his team is beginning to accept losing.
"This is not something that's going to be accepted," Carlyle said. "This organization, as long as the people here representing the ownership group and what not, that will never happen as far as acceptance with what's going on right now."
As he spoke calmly but pointedly, Selanne was fuming more with each syllable.
"There's no excuses," he said. "I just hate excuses. Everybody has a job to do and it starts from there. Do your job. Not talking. It should be simple but I guess it's not.
"We shouldn't even talk about anything. Enough talking."

One obvious requirement of business leadership involves the universally respected value of trust. This leads us to the topic of authenticity.
Are business leaders today seen as highly rated by their authenticity or are they seen as disingenuous, shallow, self-promoting or even dishonest? Are business leaders trusted?
This is a hard problem to quantify. Entire industries, as we know, are sometimes marred by isolated scandals that lower the public's view of them. When an oil tanker leaks, the reputation of an entire industry sinks. When the Great Recession hit in 2008, bankers were considered the scourge of their times.
When authenticity erodes, profits tumble and the public wants someone punished. In a publicly traded company, this often goes straight to the top office.
Your business is a microcosm of this dynamic. If a business leader is disingenuous or dishonest, middle management becomes restless and employees sense trouble. Discipline breaks down as employees begin to take shortcuts and feel more anxious about their job security. Morale falls and turnover rises. Blaming becomes commonplace.
In the words of Ricky Nelson, "…ya can't please everyone, so ya got please yourself." Trying to please everyone is an energy drain. Who respects a leader who tries to make everyone happy all the time at the expense of her values? This is not sustainable. It's a recipe for burnout.
Authenticity promotes stability, strong company values and teamwork. It also promotes clarity and loyalty, both of which contribute to productivity.
What can you do to establish greater authenticity among a diverse group of managers, division leaders and employees?
Here are what your employees want you to do:
- Lead by example. Your behavior speaks volumes.
- Treat others with respect at all times, and especially when you have to give constructive feedback.
- Establish a company mission statement based on company values. Promote it extensively. Let this guide your decisions; it ensures consistency and provides clarity.
- Be the expert in your field to earn respect. Remember, however, you don't know everything.
- Admit mistakes; learn how to apologize clearly, simply, without excuses.
- Practice open management. Divulging reasons for a decision helps people understand something they may not like although it is necessary.
- Be clear about what's OK and what's not OK. People respect boundaries.
It's worth building your business on a foundation of authenticity. Your employees respect you. It's easier to follow someone you respect. Aligning your values with your behavior serves not only the business but you. Self-respect is priceless.

The Women Eagles have only made a few changes as they get ready for their pool showdown against England on Thursday. The team has only made a couple of changes in the forwards with Katy Augustyn and Alycia Washington regaining starting spots. The backs have had more changes but with nearly every back having been with the Eagles 7s this last year there should be a lot of continuity.
As we've written about, the Eagles have a chance to make the semi-finals if things go their way. The ideal scenario would be a win over England but if they can pull off some bonus points and the right combination of things in other matches they will have succeeded. The match against England is set for Thursday at 9:30 a.m. et/6:30 a.m. pt.
Forwards: Catie Benson, Katy Augustyn, Tiffany Faaee (C), Stacey Bridges, Alycia Washington, Sara Parsons, Kate Zackary, Jordan Gray
Backs: Deven Owsiany, Kimber Rozier, Kristen Thomas, Alev Kelter, Nicole Heavirland, Naya Tapper, Cheta Emba
Bench: Sam Pankey, Hope Rogers, Nick James, Abby Gustaitis, Kristine Sommer, Kayla Canett-Oca, Sylvia Braaten, Jess Wooden
